List Of Trades In Progress

1960-1964

The Minnesota Tapes				CDR
May, 1961 December 22, 1961	Minnesota, at least 2 locations	?		6 (7 / 5)
3 CDRs	Disc 1: 17 tracks, 60:20 Disc 2: 16 tracks, 50:08 Disc 3: 18 tracks, 51:06	no art	tracks	no DBTW Review
This set is really for the completest. It's interesting material, only some of it Dylan, most of it traditional. It sounds as if it was taped in 1961...which I guess it should. The people are quiet, so there's not much in the way of party noise. It's got some hum and static to it at points, though.

Folksinger's Choice				CDR
March 11, 1962	Cynthia Gooding interview	broadcast		2.5 (3 / 2)
1 CDR	21 tracks, 57:28	no art	tracks	Top 10
Top 10 says: "Probably the most interesting boot CD to ever surface, because it was unexpected and because the quality is so high. A complete one hour radio program in excellent quality! The conversation and the songs are each given individual track numbers so a CD player can be programmed to play it as is, just songs, or just conversation. Very nice touch indeed!"

Live Finjan Club				CDR
July 2, 1962	Finjan Club Montreal Canada	audience		3.5 (4 / 3)
1 CDR	11 tracks, 56:34	no art yet	tracks	Top 10 (1st person)
"A Wrinkly Old rec.music.dylan Regular "writes on the Top 10 page: Jack Nissenson, an early admirer of Dylan had the foresight to record this performance at the Finjan Club, Montreal, in July 1962. A decent copy of the Finjan Club tape, complete on CD, the recording is continuous which gives the atmosphere of the club rather well. This one is strikingly better then other discs of the same material.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes				CDR (Vigotone)
April-December, 1962	Columbia Studios, New York	studio		2.5 (3 / 2)
1 CDR	25 tracks, 72:38	color print	tracks	DBTW Info Top 10
studio outtakes...some fantastic, some from acetate source with sounds a little "clickish"...still, a Top 10 and a must have. Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues made my day when this arrived.

In Concert				CDR
April 12, 1963 October 26, 1963	Carnegie Hall Town Hall	acetate		3 (4 / 2)
1 CDR	9 tracks, 47:18	scans	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: Ahhh, the music - this does for 1963 what "All Hallow's Eve" does for 1964, "Now Is the Time For Your Tears" [aka 1965 revisited disc 4] does for 1965 and "Guitars Kissing" does for 1966 - Dylan at his best in 1963 singing tunes that had not, and (mostly) would not, grace any of his official albums. Songs of wit, candor and insight that would have caused, had the LP been released, as much mixed-up confusion and study as the classics that followed. Taken from an original copy of the acetate and in sharp, cutting, full bodied and TRUE quality, the best to date of this material (save "Last Thoughts....", since officially released on TBS1-3)

All Hallow's Eve And More				CDR
Octover 31, 1964 May, 1962	Philharmonic Hall WBAI-FM Radio(Broadside)	soundboard/broadcast		2.5 (3 / 2)
2 CDRs	Disc 1: 12 tracks, 63:40 Disc 2: 13 tracks, 53:04	color print	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: Essential listening for everyone. I say: My, o my....there is so much here, some songs are even debut live performances. I can't recommend this highly enough...

1965-1969

1965 Revisited Disc 4				CDR
May 7, 1965	Manchester	broadcast?		2 (2 / 2)
1+ CDRs	15 tracks, 75:51	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: Absolutely essential show, 15 track concert (broadcast, was'nt it) previously available on Swingin'Pig "Now Ain't the Time" and cleaned-up Wanted Man release "Now is The Time For Your Tears." To my ears, quality is more natural sounding than on the Pig release, this disk is more akin to the sound on the Wanted Man, so much so that I'd say it is a clone. Nevertheless, if you don't get this box, do grab one of the 2 disks mentioned above. The definitive '65 acoustic Dylan, best quality available.

1965 Revisited Disc 5				CDR
May 9, 1965	Royal Albert Hall	broadcast?		6 (8 / 4)
1 CDR	15 tracks, 67:22	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: Same exact set list as above show (disc 4), 15 tracks, but in barely listenable quality. More a curiosity piece, will probably not spin very often in your player due to the sound. Previously not available on disk, probably why it was included here. I say: I had to get it....it sounds like Dylan fell down a well and someone through the guitar and harp after him. Some crowd noise, very echoey, fades on at least a couple tracks. He played the same songs in 8 minutes less, so you can imagine that there is not much improvisation in this one...

1965 Revisited Disc 6				CDR
June 1(8?), 1965	BBC Television Theatre	broadcast?		4 (5 / 3)
1 CDR	12 tracks, 66:07	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: ...great performance previously available on Scorpio release "The Circus is in Town." I compared these for awhile trying to figure out which sounded better and could not really reach a definitive conclusion. The sound on here has a bit more hiss but appears more natural, while the "Circus" one is cleaner but perhaps a bit more tinny. If you ask 10 people, would probably be a 5-5 tie. Anyway, you need to have one or the other, if not a tape at least.

Don't Look Back				CDR
April 26, 1965 - July 25, 1965	various	soundtrack?		4 (3 / 5)
1 CDR	20 tracks, 71:40	scans	tracks	no DBTW Review
This is probably taken from the videotape...it has snippets of songs and videos from the movie. Not much is complete, as in the movie, so it's really a curiosity piece. Some of the partial interviews are nice to have...

Folk Rogue				Wild Wolf
July 24-26, 1964 July 24-25, 1965	Newport Folk Festivals (+ others)	soundboard		2 (2 / 2)

September 3, 1965	Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA	soundboard		5.5 (6 / 5)
1 CD	13 tracks, 72:08	original art	tracks	no DBTW review
The only RoIO I regret purchasing. It's a fine concert, but it was something to copy from someone else, not something to purchase. The Hawks (aka The Band) are on the electric disc.

Thin Wild Mercury Music				Spank

1970-1974

Almost Went To See Elvis				CDR
May, 1969 May 1, 1970	Nashville New York	studio		2.5 (2 / 3)
1 CDR	20 tracks, 57:11	color prints	tracks	no DBTW Review
Some tracks with George Harrison. A friend notes: This CD was previously released as Yesterday, and Possum Belly Overalls, but I don't think the track lists are exactly the same. The Seven Years CD has 4 songs it attributes to a May/June 1969 Nashville studio session and those versions are here, too. If anybody has this figured out, please let me know. I say: The version of I Don't Believe You is sweet...I like this disc quite a bit.

Peco's Blues				CDR
January 20, 1973 February, 1973	CBS Discos Studios, Mexico City Burbank Studios, Burbank, California	studio		2 (2 / 2)
1 CDR	25 tracks, 70:14	no artwork	tracks	DBTW Info
"Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid" Studio Sessions CBS Discos Studios, Mexico City, Mexico January 20, 1973 Burbank Studios, Burbank, California, February 1973 Some folks might disagree with the rating here. There's banter and stops and starts and the audio can vary when Bob gets closer to the mike. However, this is great music from a good film (see the director's cut, the studio butchered it and misplaced the music in the film). The point is, it might be a 3 across the board if I didn't have a special liking for these sessions.

The Poet & The Players				not labelled
January 31, 1974	Madison Square Garden, New York	soundboard		3.5 (4 / 3)
2 CDs	Disc 1: 14 tracks, 56:17 Disc 2: 14 tracks, 66:25	original art	tracks	DBTW Review
Dylan and The Band from the 1974 tour. Some tracks in the 28 song set are by The Band, some by Dylan solo.

Blood On The Tracks: New York Sessions				CDR
1974	new york	acetate?		2 (2 / 2)
1 CDR	11 tracks, 61:19	color prints	tracks	no DBTW review
This is the BOTT initial test pressing before Bob went to Minnesota to visit family and rerecorded some of the tracks. Many of these tracks are already available since they were included in the official release. Only a 2 since it does seem to be from the acetate test pressing...

Blood On The Tapes				CDR
1974	new york, Minnesota	studio		1.5 (1 / 2)
1 CDR	11 tracks, 69:38	no art yet	tracks	DBTW Review
Second of two discs of Blood On The Tracks outtakes. DBTW says: The 11 circulating BOTT outtakes all together on one CD is certainly a welcome addition to anyone's collection. Tastily compiled in the order they were recorded and presented in official release quality (natch, 7 of the songs are from official releases (incl Bootleg Series 1-3, Jerry Maguire, Biograph) and the others are from the BOTT initial test pressing).

1975-1979

A Satisfied Man				CDR
November 11, 1975	Palace Theater, Waterbury, CT	soundboard?		2 (2 / 2)
1 CDR	16 tracks, 73:04	color prints	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: A re-release of sorts (original release was Spacematic's "Tell It Like It Is") of the classic 11/11/75 Waterbury soundboard but a more complete document of that night's proceedings. This initial offering from Blue Eyed Records contains all 13 trax originally found on "Tell It" plus 3 others - SimpleTwist/OhSister/ThisLandIsYour Land (the show is still missing the 2 openers- Masterpiece/ ItAintMeBabe . Once again, the soundboard quality is mighty fine and very similar to the excellent "Tell It." The mix is a good one, with the highs and the lows flowing nicely together and neither one dominating. Everything is sharp and upfront, most importantly Bob's vocals. Any complaints about the quality here will come from those w/impossible-to-meet standards. I say: Simple Twist Of Fate, acoustic, breathtaking, if you have Tell It, you still want this disc...at least this track. IMO, there is no excuse for not releasing at least one of the live 1975 Simple Twists officially...see GBS 3 for the John Hammond one and Knight of The Hurricane for another good one.

Knight Of The Hurricane				CDR
December 8, 1975	Madison Square Garden	audience		2.5 (3 / 2)
2 CDRs	Disc 1: 12 tracks, 51:22 Disc 2: 10 tracks, 51:15	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: Let's make this one short and sweet. This is by far the best audience recording of a RT show, far eclipsing the Toronto tracks available on "Flagging Down the EEs" and easily setting the standard for a 75/76 audience tape of Rolling Thunder, IMO.

Renaldo & Clara Soundtrack				CDR
1975	various	video?		3.5 (4 / 3)
1 CDR	20 tracks, 72:34	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: "I imagine this is as good as it could get short of an official release. For fans of Rolling Thunder, this will not disappoint." I might disagree with this. I thought the sound quality on what I received could have been better. On some tracks, it definitely dips below a 4. There also seem to be some poor fade-ins on a couple tracks but that could be from the movie itself. Also, there's a pop in Tangled Up In Blue...but when I receive the 11/21/75 show, I can sub in that version if it is better. Finally, based on my reading of Krogsgaard (all I have is 1980's "Twenty Years Of Recording," the disc is not sequenced correctly, omits some Dylan tracks, and adds at least one non-Dylan track. Regardless, if you are a fan of the period, you can't pass up the disc. You might want to get some of the 1975 live shows first, though.

Highway 49 Revisited				CDR
May 1, 1976	Hattiesburg, Mississippi	audience		3.5 (4 / 3)
1+ CDR	16 tracks, 75:39	color print	tracks	DBTW Review
a Rolling Thunder Revue show... DBTW says: Once again and as always, his vocal phrasing and clear, deliberate enunciation on tracks such as BigGirlNow, Mozambique, One Too Many Mornings and the others mentioned above (hell, the entire show) are a joy to hear. I'm playing it as I write this and can't help but marvel at the singing and the sound. Anyway, an excellent show and a nice companion piece to the several excellent '76 soundboards that are circulating.

Rolling Thunder Review				Flashback
May 3, 1976	Warehouse, New Orleans, LA	soundboard?		3 (3 / 3)

2 CDRs	Disc 1: 13 tracks, 61:14 Disc 2: 10 tracks, 59:54	no art	tracks	no DBTW Review
a Texas Rolling Thunder Revue show...sound quality might drop to a five on some tracks...main problem is that there is some hiss on some tracks. Disc 2 has filler: tracks 1-4 are from the Warehouse 5/3/76 track 6 is from State Fair Arena, Oklahoma 5/18/76 tracks 5, 7-10 are from Fort Worth

The Days Before Hard Rain				CDR
April-May 22, 1976	various Rolling Thunder Rehearsals	various		4 (5 / 3)
1 CDR	17 tracks, 69:16	color prints	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: A voyeuristic look at the "loose as goose grease" atmosphere of a Rolling Thunder rehearsal, & funky as all get out!! Nice quality with the vocals clear, albeit just a bit in the background, and the music hitting a real groove on some interestingly arranged versions of Dylan tunes. Of particular note is the totally re-written and crazed version of Tangled Up In Blue - you gotta hear that one. Most tunes performed whole, with some fits and starts, and the groove never drags, coming through with a nice sort of otherwordly, Desire-like mystical feel. Dig it?? :-) One nice unreleased blues, The Sun Is Shining, is included, plus the original Spanish Rider demo of Seven Days. This one's a straight re-issue of the original Scorpio on Wild Wolf but with a great new front & back cover and, obviously, in the best circulating quality. Highly recommended. I say: The quality might range from 4 to 6 on this one...

1980-1984

Child's Balloon				CDR
November 10, 1981	New Orleans, LA	soundboard		2 (2 / 2)
2 CDRs	disc 1: 13 tracks, 49:44 disc 2: 13 tracks, 54:20	scans	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: In the hierarchy of '81 soundboards, I'd give this the nod over Houston, with Avignon and Oslo behind. Dylan's performance is so confident and full of zest that you find yourself shaking your head. Each and every song is played with gusto and the guitars and keyboards provide a full throttle thrust to the proceedings. Dylan is playful, animated and cocksure in his delivery. A truly monumental "ITS ALRIGHT MA" has to be heard to be believed. I won't spoil it by trying to describe it. A dynamite '81 show. This is the same concert as "Stadiums Of The Dammed," with many preferring this version. I say: He's right...."It's Alright Ma" is fantastic...

Rough Cuts				CDR
April 11, 1983 - May 8, 1983	The Power Station, New York City	studio		2.5 (2 / 3)
2 CDRs	Disc 1: 14 tracks, 71:25 Disc 2: 11 tracks, 72:38	no art	tracks	BIABH Review Top 10
Infidels (1983) out-takes. My copy switches the last track of disc 1 with the first of disc 2 so that both discs are under 74 minutes.

1985-1989

There Is A Place Of Broken Dreams				Flashback
May 8, 1986	Mountain View, CA (+filler)	soundboard		4.5 (5 / 4)

Hard To Find, Volume 3				CDR
1962 -1986	various	various		varies
1+ CDRs	21 tracks, 78:52	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: No need to attempt a "review" other than to say that this is the true successor to "Hard To Find," gathering most, if not all, of the "hard to find" official releases (plus a few TV/movie trax) not included on that first volume (Volume 2 was a poor sequel). Quality is excellent throughout, the producers obviously utilizing the source material to copy from.

Ring Them Bells				CDR (Moonlight)
March, 1989	New Orleans, Louisiana	studio		2.5 (2 / 3)
1 CDR	16 tracks, 60:14	color prints	tracks	DBTW Info
studio outtakes from Oh Mercy...supposedly better quality than "Deeds Of Mercy," but with slightly different content (omits takes of Series of Dreams and adds in others, including two aborted takes of Ring Them Bells).

Never Ending Tour Rehearsals				CDR
May, 1989	??	portable?		4 (4 / 4)
2 CDRs	Disc 1: 20 tracks, 47:27 Disc 2: 19 tracks, 46:29	color prints	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: (Note: Following review courtesy of The Famous Etiquette Book - PT) "A previously uncirculated rehearsal tape supposedly from May '89. A curious beast in that it's not a typical NET rehearsal session. The backing band has a strong country flavor to it, there's a violin and a harmonica player in there and the drumming does not sound at all like C.Parker's rock drumming but has a jauntier, country feel to it. Three of the vocals are taken by a female vocalist (not Emmylou Harris as credited). It sounds suggestive of an "Oh Mercy" audition session, although on the other hand there does seem to be a hard core rockier element to it. "Recording quality is excellent though not up to studio soundboard standards, suggesting it was probably recorded on a portable with some switching off and on between tracks." All in all a very enjoyable disk w/some fascinating moments.

1990-1994

3+ CDRs	Disc 1: 16 tracks, 74:43 Disc 2: 19 tracks, 74:48 Disc 3: 18 tracks, 74:47	no art	tracks	DBTW Info DBTW Review
DBTW says: Approx 40% unreleased and, of the other 60%, most (if not all) is in superior quality to what is currently available on CD. Disks are over 70 minutes each and the packaging rivals any Dylan CD to date. I say: You will need a "filler" disk if you want it all....sorry. My current blanks can only hold about 74:15 per disc.

Completely Unplugged				CDR
November 17-18, 1994	New York City	soundboard		1.5 (1 / 2)

DBTW says: The title says it all, you get the shows as they happend - complete, unedited, rough mix soundboard recordings. Oh my my, the quality is superb, on speed (unlike some of the tapes) and perfectly balanced, plus continuous so you get all the between-song riffing, talk, etc. Unissued tracks reaching heights of perfection include (2) takes of "I Want You," "Hazel" (see separate post for more on "Hazel" from "The Last Waltz"), "Sweet Marie" and an oh-so- fine "My Back Pages", plus the missed take of "LARS" and a superb "Tonight I'll Be Staying.."

DBTW says: Complete March 30 show, plus trax from 3/29 as filler. I've already reviewed these shows in a previous volume under "Romantic Facts..." and "Skipping Reels..." Without going overboard with too many plaudits, these disks are sensational. Recording quality far exceeds "RF" and "SR"...<snip> Note: I don't think this is the 3/31 show...

Laguna Beach				Midnight Beat

DBTW says: Bottom line: GBS3 is a desert island collection. The tracks flow together so perfectly and capture each of the many phases of Dylan's ever changing art perhaps as well as anything ever has.........it's a good thing we're out of the vinyl age, or else the grooves would be getting worn out on this one.

Hard To Find, Volume 1				CDR

2 CDRs	Disc 1: 9 tracks, 64:46 Disc 2: 6 tracks, 50:28	no art	tracks	DBTW Review
DBTW says: Dylan's performance was nothing short of magnificent at this show and the Band is with him step for step. I can't recall a show with so many performances that just knocked me out. The quality leaves nothing to be desired - every rasp, growl & purr (many) of THAT voice is captured in all its world weariness, every note and harp blow and guitar chord and steel pluck is upfront and balanced and separated and TRUE - go out and find this right now. There may be shows w/"better" set lists but I'll be damned if this ain't one of the finest performances I've ever heard.

DBTW says: The second complete Japanese show from February past to make its way onto CD, and a good one at that. Nice quality and an excellent performance w/some rarely played tunes make for good listening in my book. - but also - A decent set but not essential.

DBTW says: A high-energy, charismatic & fun-filled show w/some of the best Bob vocals you'll ever hear and a thrilling, sympathetic band that plays the hell out of everything, and plays it well. I say: I really, really like this show! You need this one, folks...quality goes down a little on some of the filler, but just a little.

2 CDRs	Disc 1: 13 tracks, 68:20 Disc 2: 4 tracks, 20:39	no art	tracks	Setlist Comments
"The trader taped the show himself." Well, crowd noise is a problem in this, but music comes out very crisp despite it. Bob's vocals seem very good. I prefer this set over the Nashville 1999 set from the same person. Encores, last 4 tracks, make up about a third of a disc really.

"The trader taped the show himself." I prefer the New Orleans set from the same person. Crowd noise is less of a problem in this one, but music comes out a little more quiet. Bob's vocals seem ok. Encores, last 4 tracks, make up about a third of a disc really.

Tangled Up In Dayton (non-commercial)				CDR
February 9, 1999	Wright State University Dayton, Ohio	MD - audience		3.5 (4 / 3)
2 CDRs	Disc 1: 9 tracks, 59:41 Disc 2: 7 tracks, 39:31	original art	tracks	Setlist Comments
The trader says: I recorded the Dayton show on minidisc and transferred it to cd over the weekend. The sound quality on <snip> is superb (I stood 20 feet from the stage in Dayton, dead center). And the performances were just astounding. I say: Crowd noise is a little bothersome, but this one edges out the New Orleans and Nashville I have.

Bob Dylan and The Whistling Pig (non-commercial)				CDR
February 10, 1999 partial set	Veterans Memorial Auditorium Columbus, Ohio	MD - audience		4 (5 / 3)
1 CDR	??	original art	tracks	Setlist Comments
The trader says: I also recorded the Columbus show, but a whistling pig behind me really destroyed that recording. :-( Nonetheless, I pressed a "highlights" disc of the Columbus show using the 7 songs that he didn't play in Dayton, plus TUIB where he played harp. The whistling is thankfully not that bad on those selections. The sound quality on both recordings is superb (I stood 20 feet from the stage in Dayton, dead center). And the performances were just astounding. I say: Crowd noise is disturbing...apparently, from the setlist comments, one person was responsible for most of the disturbances...
