Bob Dylan / Before The Flood SACD

While we wait for the ‘Complete’ Bob Dylan and The Band Basement Tapes sessions to be released in November, audiophile specialists Mobile Fidelity will follow up their summer vinyl issue of the same album by preparing a double SACD package of Before The Flood, the 1974 live set from Dylan and The Band.

Before The Flood documents the joint 1974 live tour which followed after The Band and Dylan had worked on Planet Waves (released at the very beginning of that year). Despite this, no material from that album ended up on the 21 track live album which was notable for reworked arrangements of Dylan classics such as Like A Rolling Stones and All Along The Watchtower. The recordings on Before The Flood were largely taken from the final three shows in Los Angeles.

Before The Flood is due for release on SACD on 31 October 2014
