Product Description
One of the many oddities of Bob Dylan's long and unruly career has been the rather cursory recording treatment given his stint as ringleader of the Rolling Thunder Revue. It's a shortcoming that's rectified with the release of Live 1975. Prior to the appearance of this two-disc (plus bonus DVD) collection, Rolling Thunder's eclectic road show was chronicled only in the infrequently screened, Dylan-directed Renaldo & Clara film and the bafflingly brief and one-note 1976 live set, Hard Rain. In contrast to its predecessor, this set, culled from four appearances made in November and December of 1975, captures the breadth and subtleties of Dylan's Rolling Thunder performances.
"Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You", formerly a coda from Nashville Skyline, is given a rather incongruous bite here, while "It Ain't Me, Babe" is coloured brightly by multi-instrumentalist David Mansfield along with erstwhile David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, the spark plug of the gratifyingly ragtag group that coalesced on short notice. Solo acoustic performances weave through caterwauling full-band treatments of songs old ("The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll") and new ("Hurricane" and four other selections from Desire, which wouldn't hit the racks until early 1976). While the contributions of a number of caravan cohorts and guests are left out, Joan Baez shares the spotlight with Dylan on four numbers, most notably on the rarity "Mama, You Been on My Mind" and the traditional "The Water Is Wide". But despite its cavalcade trappings, it was Dylan's show, and this collection demonstrates finally just how close to his 60s peak the 70s Dylan was. --Steven Stolder
