Yeah yeah---but the Super Super Sell Your Firstborn Deluxe better incl. a bonus-laden Renaldo and Clara, or at least a download/streaming code for same.

From bobdylan.com newsletter: This must-own box serves as a companion piece to the new film, Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, premiering on Netflix on June 12. Every one of Dylan's performances in the movie can be found in the new box set.Also bringing back the 2003 three-LP version of the 2-CD Rolling Thunder, which I still haven't heard (the single-LP Hard Rain, which came out soon after the network TV concert doc of the same title, though maybe with some different performances, is real good, an improvement over studio originals in several cases, like "Oh Sister," "Shelter From The Storn," "Memphis Blues Again," "Lay Lady Lay" ["let's take a chance, who really cares."]).

Yup, the Hard Rain version of "Shelter From the Storm" is astonishing--a top 5 Dylan performance for me. That's from the 1976 leg of the tour tho. Looks like he didn't even play that song on the '75 leg.

I have it digitally and have so far listened only to the three rehearsal disks, the "rare versions" and the Montreal show
tbh I'm a little disappointed in the rehearsals...they don't touch the Rundown rehearsals from a few years later. It seems like this band's gretest asset was *energy* and to hear these songs arranged for Dylan's shouty voice but without a lot of gusto...eh. I don't know maybe they'll grow on me.
The Montreal show is extraordinary.

counterpoint — i think the rehearsals are awesome! especially the first disc ... pretty amazing that they were only a week or so away from the first show.

I'm genuinely considering the RTR box. It's about 45 euros and I think I'd like to dip into the different shows

next up: Johnny Cash Wesley Harding Skyline!
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bob-dylan-bootleg-series-update-nashville-849134/
Unlike recent Bootleg Series packages that compiled every song in the vaults from key albums Blood on the Tracks, The Basement Tapes, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde, this new set will only contain select tracks from the sessions. “I think we did repeat versions of songs to death on The Cutting Edge,” says the source. “We’re trying to find one really good takes of each song. The giant dumps of everything like we’ve done in recent years really aren’t my preference. I like stuff that is more curated.”
This seems like a good idea. Somehow I doubt there are revelations buried in the rehearsal sessions for "Country Pie."

So, this won't get a deluxe box version? A bit like the Whitmark demos, then..
― Mark G, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 14:59 (four years ago) link
...or any of the sets prior to, what, Vol. 11(?)
― Consider the coconut (morrisp), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:05 (four years ago) link
Nice - this one I'm really looking forward to, esp the JWH stuff.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:15 (four years ago) link
interesting to hear what they dig up there — plenty of the period was on Another Self Portrait. The Cash stuff is not great. John Wesley Harding outtakes are the most interesting ...
― tylerw, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:16 (four years ago) link
agreed
but man I would LOVE to hear Infidels and Empire Burlesque dried out and remixed + outtakes
― d'ILM for Murder (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:35 (four years ago) link
that (and the time out of mind sessions) seem more exciting, but maybe they can't resist the press that a collab w/ Johnny Cash will generate ... even if that collab kinda sucks. (though maybe there's better stuff than what has already circulated?)
― tylerw, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:41 (four years ago) link
I'm sure and I guess also there's no hurry on the copyright front to get that 80s stuff out
― d'ILM for Murder (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:43 (four years ago) link
I hope the Dylan camp doesn't think Time Out Of Mind was "already covered" by Tell Tale Signs; that set really needs to be expanded into a box each for Time, "Love and Theft", and Modern Times (the latter I would particularly love to hear).

Bought the RTR box. I've skimmed the 3 rehearsals discs and they seem unnecessary. Poor quality and ramshackle. Looking forward to the 5 full concerts. So it's 60 euros for 10 discs of five gigs. Not a massive bargain but an ok price.

also the Hattie Caroll on that Montreal show is thrilling

xxxpostsSeconded for Infidels. Especially since it's well known that the released version of the album was rushed and unfinished.I have made my own version of the album, basically removing the "rock" stuff and replacing them with some of the songs that were cut out.It's pretty good (for a Dylan 80s album !).
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 20 June 2019 08:39 (four years ago) link
There’s an (actual) bootleg of Infidels outtakes called Rough Cuts that you can get, if they never release that stuff officially.

yeah, that early version of "Immigrant" they've posted is great ... almost a completely different melody/approach. the Cash stuff I've heard is ehhh, but oh well.

Yes, I don't care about the Cash material
― Duke, Thursday, 19 September 2019 17:50 (four years ago) link
I'm gonna get this one for sure... Nashville Skyline is one of the few "classic" Dylan albums that I've never owned (only heard it once or twice); and I feel like I've never appreciated JWH enough, maybe this will give me a different way into it.
