Re: rolling thunder (NJC)

[David Sadowski]

It's a pretty good buy... two discs plus a fat booklet and (for now) a two-track DVD for something like $19.95. It's just Bob with a few duets with Joan Baez and (I think) Scarlet Rivera.

Sound quality is excellent, the performances are great... this comes right at the end of Bob's very creative mid-70s period. Good stuff.

Has anyone heard the newly released Dylan Rolling Thunder recordings? What
are they like? What's included? And are they just him, or are other
performers on the tour (like Joni) included?

PS. Have been listening to T for 2 weeks straight in my car (and I'm in my
car a lot). Haven't even turned on the radio. Must be because I find a
richness in these new versions that makes me want to hear them again and
again. I don't think I would be doing this if it was a compilation of the
original recordings. Current favorites (these keep changing) Chinese Cafe
and Otis & Marlena.
