Bob Dylan & The Band – Boston Garden 1974 (12-Inch Double-LP)

This double album captures Bob Dylan and The Band in concert at the Boston Garden, on 14 January 1974, during the Before the Flood Tour.

In January 1974, Bob Dylan launched his monumental North American reunion tour with The Band, marking his first major live tour in over eight years. Dylan had not toured since his controversial 1966 motorcycle crash and subsequent retreat from the public eye. Demand was unprecedented, with millions of mail-order ticket requests flooding in for the high-profile tour. On 14 January, Dylan played two shows at the Boston Garden (an afternoon and an evening performance) to ecstatic crowds.

Featured here across two discs, are fierce renditions of classics such as Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Ballad of a Thin Man, This Wheel’s on Fire, I Shall Be Released, All Along the Watchtower, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, Just Like a Woman, It’s Alright Ma, (I’m Only Bleeding) and many more.
