Nice article on this new set:

Mr. Dylan warns of his own guile — “I can mislead people as well as anybody/I’ve got the vision to cause any kind of division” — but insists he has reformed. And in “Making a Liar Out of Me,” over a stolid, inexorable two-chord vamp, Mr. Dylan argues for compassion and conscience: “The hopes and fears and dreams of the discontented/they threaten now to overtake your promised land.”

 

I broke down and ordered this one. Always loved this period and I want to hear Bob preach.

 

Definitely a highlight period in his live work

Pass.

Same mostly but this package is one of the best retrospective music collections being released this year (and that very subjective judgment comes alongside all of the re-releases of underground NYC jazz label AUM FIDELITY's back-catalog; Anne Briggs joining the array of amazing vinyl reissues on Earth Recordings, and a bevy of other sick archival releases that I'm too distracted to think of at the moment).

Great box set. Does it include the DVD of the Toronto show or just audio? That must sound fab.

Taking this in now.  Just a great band, really powerful and tight, perfect for this music.  One of the essays in the book is by Penn Jillette who does a great job describing how he, as a confirmed atheist, hated this music when it came out but has been won over.

Toronto and London are just audio.
