Bob Dylan & The Band, live on tour together in 1974: Boston Garden, Boston January 14th and Madison Square Garden January 31st
For Dylan's first proper tour since 1966, he was joined by his longstanding colleagues The Band.
Expectations for both acts ran high, with huge venues swiftly selling out and immense media interest. It was no nostalgia act though: whilst Dylan performed old material, he did so with considerable attack as well as showcasing songs from his new Planet Waves LP. The Band also played alone, showing themselves to be arguably the finest group of their sort in the world.
This release offers two historic shows from the early part of the tour both originally broadcast on FM radio.
They are presented here together with background notes and images.
