Description:

A masterful performance from the 1974 North American tour, when Dylan and The Band had a chance encounter again and swung into an intense rock direction! This is Bob Dylan's first major tour since his motorcycle accident in 1966, and is said to be the first stadium-class tour in the history of rock music. Planet Waves" (1974), which Dylan produced with The Band after moving to Asylum, became his first No. 1 album in the U.S., and the tour, which promoter Bill Graham handled, began on January 3 with its release. The California show on February 14, the last day of the tour, was compiled in "Before The Flood" (1974), and this is a recording of the early shows of the tour. For Dylan, this tour was a continuation of the '66 tour, which was interrupted by a motorcycle accident, and he played mostly from the repertoire of that time.Perhaps because Dylan had been doing a lot of loose work since his motorcycle accident, this was the rocking Dylan that many fans had been hoping to hear for a long time. The Band was also in a post-fame slump, so their joint performance was welcomed with open arms, perhaps because they didn't like the hard schedule of 40 shows in a month and a half (often two shows a day) and the large venues, which were very commercial in nature. It is well known that Dylan has spoken bitterly about this tour many times. However, it is rare to see Dylan so clearly rocking, and there must be many fans who like this period of his career. This is a must-have for fans of Dylan's music, including the raw sound quality that will make you feel like you're there!
