Bob Dylan and The Band / The 1974 Live Recordings

27CD box set

Bob Dylan and The Band / The 1974 Live Recordings

417 previously unreleased live performances! • “Very limited”

Sony are to release The 1974 Live Recordings a massive 27-disc box set that features all professionally recorded shows from Bob Dylan and The Band’s 1974 tour.

The box set offers fans 417 previously unreleased live tracks – including 133 recordings newly mixed from 16-track tape, and every single surviving soundboard recording.

In 1974 Dylan toured live for the first time in eight years and reunited with The Band, who since they last performed live together (in 1966) had released six albums and played Woodstock and recorded with Bob (The Basement Tapes, Planet Waves).

Dylan and The Band performed 30 dates in 42 days (often playing two sets per day) and recordings were captured on a stereo soundboard mix, on both quarter-inch tape and cassette. By tour’s end, Asylum Records’ David Geffen had commissioned recordings on multi-track tape, for eventual release on Before the Flood. The 1974 Live Recordings includes it all of these and the shows that were recorded on 16-track tape are newly-mixed for this box set, which comes with with new sleeve notes by Elizabeth Nelson.

There’s no standard vinyl version, but Third Man Records are doing a special 3LP+7″ green vinyl package with souvenir tour programme. The catch is that it’s only available via their ‘Vault’ subscription programme, so you need to sign up to receive this.

The 1974 Live Recordings will be released on 20 September 2024, via Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings
