New Bob Dylan bootleg series CD on the way

[ghost of miles]

From Alan's page:

Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964-The Philharmonic Hall Concert - 2 CDs (Columbia/Legacy) Mar 23

— recorded at Philharmonic Hall, New York, New York on October 31, 1964

— includes 52-page booklet

Not quite as excited about this one as I have been about earlier entries in the series, but I'm sure I'll eventually pick it up.

I think I'll be skipping this one, but I have been on somewhat of a Dylan kick lately, getting a # of the SACDs and I will probably get the last bootleg series, the one from the 70s

I doubt I'll be rushing to get it as I've had it on cassette for 20+ years and upgraded to disc a few years ago. Then again, they'll likely improve the sonics and there is the fat booklet, so maybe I will.

But make no mistake about - it's a must have. Dylan manages to mix humor and powerful performances of some of his finest work. It just has a terrific feel that will suck you into the show.

I'm curious where they'll go next. I've always preferred the Blood on the Tracks outtakes to the official versions, but they have released a few of those on the first Bootleg box. I would think the '62 Gaslight Cafe, or perhaps a collection of shorter shows from '62-63 might be released. Then again you get about a disc's worth of that material on the 1st Bootleg release as well.

Probably the biggest payday for them would be to release the 5 discs worth of Basement Tape material. The 1st bootleg set of Basement Tape material had pretty poor sound quality which since been "remastered" by another bootlegger. Assuming Columbia/Legacy could top that (I haven't heard the latest version) I'd be happy to part with my cash for it.

I'd prefer something other than the 60s acoustic concerts-possibly more 70s stuff, like you suggested with the Blood on the Tracks outtakes, or the Basement Tapes would be wonderful (I'm also hoping some of these Band-only tunes will come out on the new Band box set that Robertson is working on). There must be some great 90s shows they could release too

I'd run, not walk, to buy the complete Basement tapes. I've spurned the bootleg versions in hopes that Sony will eventually put all of the material out.
