DESCRIPTION The 1974 Live Recordings celebrates the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s return to touring that year. Featuring all professionally recorded shows from the artist’s 1974 performances backed by The Band, the collection will be available as a deluxe box set across 27 CDs. The 1974 Live Recordings offers fans 417 previously-unreleased Bob Dylan live tracks – including 133 recordings newly mixed from 16-track tape, and every single surviving soundboard recording – along with new liner notes by journalist and critic Elizabeth Nelson.
Bob Dylan’s 1974 Tour marked his first time touring live in eight years and reunited him with The Band who had become widely renowned in their own right since backing the artist nearly a decade earlier.
At the outset, the 1974 Tour was captured on a stereo soundboard mix, on both 1?4” tape and cassette. By tour’s end, Asylum Records’ David Geffen had commissioned recordings on multitrack tape, the standard at the time, for eventual release on Before the Flood. The 1974 Live Recordings includes it all - the cassettes and 1?4” tapes, and the shows that were recorded on 16-track tape, newly mixed for this collection.
