This week's musical treat is a blast from the past – a sampler of tracks from the box set of Bob Dylan's and The Band's 1974 tour. Recordings from this tour were originally released on the album, Before the Flood, but now all of Dylan's sets from the tour are being released on a giant box set.
I saw one of the shows at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens and still remember some of it quite vividly. I was impressed by The Band's musicianship, especially Robbie Robertson's blazing guitar, the impact of the drummers, and how Dylan could hold the attention of the audience. The sampler doesn't include anything from the two Toronto shows, unfortunately, but it's still a treat to hear Dylan from one of his best tours.
