The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings arrives, with 39 CDs containing professionally-recorded shows from nearly every stop of the legendary tour’s second (and final) leg.  It all adds up to 381 tracks, only ten of which have ever been previously released. Dylan’s fast and furious sets in ’76 were broad-ranging, encompassing such favorites as “Visions of Johanna,” “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Maggie’s Farm,” “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “Lay, Lady, Lay,” “Isis,” and “One Too Many Mornings,” among other classics.  A number of the dates here feature Dylan’s duet set with Joan Baez featuring “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Railroad Boy,” and other guests throughout include Roger McGuinn (“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “Gotta Travel On”), Kinky Friedman (“Gotta Travel On”), Willie Nelson (“Gotta Travel On,” “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” in Houston), Joni Mitchell (“Gotta Travel On” in Fort Worth), Allen Ginsberg (“Gotta Travel On” in Fort Collins), and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott (various vocals during the Fort Collins show).  The complete 22-track Fort Worth show will also be released as a standalone 3LP vinyl set on the same date.   (As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.)
