Product Description
Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder tour was a gypsy caravan of sorts involving such friends as Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn and Joni Mitchell. Now, for the first time, this legendary roadshow is displayed in all its glorious, mixed-up confusion on 2 CDs that cull 22 performances from the Worcester, Boston, Cambridge and Montreal shows. A 56-page booklet accompanies It Ain't Me, Babe; Mr. Tambourine Man; Blowin' in the Wind; Just Like a Woman , and more. Must-hear mid-'70s Dylan!

One of the many oddities of Bob Dylan's long and unruly career has been the rather cursory recording treatment given his stint as ringleader of the Rolling Thunder Revue. It's a shortcoming that's rectified with the release of Live 1975. Prior to the appearance of this two-disc collection, Rolling Thunder's eclectic road show was chronicled only in the infrequently screened, Dylan-directed Renaldo & Clara film and the bafflingly brief and one-note 1976 live set, Hard Rain. In contrast to its predecessor, this set, culled from four appearances made in November and December of '75, captures the breadth and subtleties of Dylan's Rolling Thunder performances. "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You," formerly a coda from Nashville Skyline, is given a rather incongruous bite here, while "It Ain't Me, Babe" is colored brightly by multi-instrumentalist David Mansfield along with erstwhile David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, the sparkplug of the gratifyingly ragtag group that coalesced on short notice. Solo acoustic performances weave through caterwauling full-band treatments of songs old ("The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll) and new ("Hurricane" and four other selections from Desire, which wouldn't hit the racks until early '76). While the contributions of a number of caravan cohorts and guests are left out, Joan Baez shares the spotlight with Dylan on four numbers, most notably on the rarity "Mama, You Been on My Mind" and the traditional "The Water Is Wide." But despite its cavalcade trappings, it was Dylan's show, and this collection demonstrates finally just how close to his '60s peak the '70s Dylan was. --Steven Stolder

This is raw and edgy and covers all bases that Bob treads. We have a somewhat country rock feel here, but only somewhat ... and i don't mean the eagles or any of that new pop music they call country. It certainly leans more towards the rock but the instrumentation adds a flavour of country.
Tonight i'll be staying here with you is virtually b@lls out rock (with a small dash of country) and comes over very well.
It ain't me babe felt like i may not like the rearrangement but halfway through i was feeling it. (i still prefer the original, but this has something to offer).
hard rain is like a tough country blues and it works, but i prefer the hard rain movie version.
lonesome death of hattie carroll works with a loping country rock feel.
romance in durango is excellent and shows they had this one ready before they put it down in the studio.
isis is a great little ballad with a semi reggae feel (i probably prefer the album version, but desire is one of my equal favourite dylan albums .... for the record - times are a changin' - bringing it all back home - hwy 61 - blonde on blonde - blood on the tracks - desire - slow train - shot of love - infidels - bootleg 1-3 - bootleg 4 - bootleg 6 .... sorry i can't separate them, they are all classics and essential in my mind)
mr tambourine man is played acoustically and dylan sounds a little husky but it doesn't detract.
simple twist of fate is also acoustic and very good
blowin in the wind is acoustic and pretty straight and sweetened with joan baez doing the harmony
mama you've been on my mind is an upbeat country, again with baez and works very well
i shall be released is very well done and again baez on harmony
it's all over now baby blue is done pretty straight with a sensitive vocal
love minus zero is again done pretty straight with a sensitive vocal
tangled up and blue is done pretty straight and very enjoyable
the water is wide the band is back and baez on harmony vocal. this is a very moving version.
it takes a lot to laugh is done pretty much in the original style with just a little more grunt and a little less blues.
oh sister is very similar to the album version
hurricane is also very similar to the album version
one more cup of coffee is again very similar to the album version
sara is also very similar to the album version and all these desire songs come across very well and impassioned.
just like a woman is a little different to the original, but not in any kind of obnoxious way
knockin on heaven's door is pretty straight with a countyish feel.
This is a great album and a little more polished than hard rain, but i do have a soft spot for hard rain and sure hope they expand and fix that up for a home dvd/bluray release
I remember sitting in the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies at U of T and being tapped on the shoulder by Millard as Anton Pegis was hermeneutically investigating Acquinas. "Tickets are on sale in 20 minutes." An abrupt departure by 2 PhD candidates and a mad race to Maple Leaf Gardens to score 4 tickets. Pegis asked us later what the fuss was about. When told, he demanded going, 84 year old wizard of Phenomenology that he was. I can hear every note of every song from that concert even today. McGuinn, Baez, Burnett, Rivera, Lightfoot, Anderson, Mitchell, Neil, all showed and played their part in an unbelievable event that blew across the North American landscape, at once both ephemeral and eternal in its power and appearance. There was a social issue attached: Reuben Carter had been jailed for a murder he did not commit. There were private issues at hand: Dylan, as well as many of the rest of us, had elements of his life unravelling and lay bleeding on the tracks. Friends and lovers rallied around each other while a wind blew in through the land south of the Maple Leaf.
This CD set is a remarkable document of the premier American songwriter of the Twentieth Century at the top of his game, in full command of his powers, singing and playing as though his life depended on it. The shows are from Boston and Montreal, and represent Dylan at a mountain top. Whether he ever got there again is up for debate, but at this point in time, when all hell had broken loose and most of us who cared about the condition of the world felt like knockin on heaven's door, Dylan gave voice to the deepest concerns, anxieties and cries for love from our collective souls, a whole well's deeper than our collective Jungian unconscious.
Did you have to be there? Probably, but even so, ask yourself if you can deny what you hear on these tracks........
With "Bob Dylan Live 1975," we have Mr. Dylan at the height of his powers. Allen Ginsberg called him the "Emperor of Sound," and he was right. The Rolling Thunder Review provided a hard charging back up to Dylan fiery, tender, and articulate; and these discs release a sound that transcends their technology. There's not a clunker in this 22 song set, and some of the versions are the best ever released. "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," on the fiery end comes to us from the mountain top - prophetic and rockin'; "Sara," is tenderly and deeply from the heart - the artist stands naked. I can't imagine a more impassioned reading of his work than this set - he performs like a believer, in the words, the music, and the life. The only release that might top this has yet to be released, and I suspect it will come out of his "Slow Train," performances.
To finish off, I don't think I've ever heard a "live performance," of this intensity by any other artist. Buy this one, and play it for anyone, young or old, who's wondering what all the fuss is about.
