Re Dylan and Donovan: in kiddie times, I once knew a girl who converted her boyfriend to the following point of view, in the wake of Don't Look Back: Dylan has gotten old and bitter, Donovan is young and sweet, like a groovy older brother, turning you on to the good music he's just discovered. Via "Bert's Blues" and "House of Jansch, " for instance, he became our gateway to British folk-rock: somebody found Bert's Blues, and what't this, Pentangle, and somewhere a cover of Mingus, so let's try jazz, and so on. (Of course Dylan was a gateway too, like with those old-school country songs in Don't Look Back, and of course to Guthrie, Van Ronk, the country blues artists covered on his debut, and "Oh, 'Desolation Row', Beat Generation," and somebody mentioned 19th Century French poets). But Donovan peaked and disappeared, without getting any where near the range of Dylan (who got sweet as country pie later on, for a while). I still know that girl, she still likes Jackson Browne and Neil Young and Dylan after all; haven't heard her mention Donovan in a long tyme.But it could be that Dylan sweated about him for a minute, as Elvis supposedly shot his TV when Robert Goulet was on the Sullivan Show (more plausibly and lastingly, kept an eye on Tom Jones). And in Myra Friedman's Buried Alive, Janis Joplin is said (by a mutual acquaintance) to be real worried ("There's one other girl, and if she makes it big, I won't, and if I make it---") about Judy Collins!

Donovan was also better looking and had a much better, palatable voice for pop. I doubt Dylan considered him a songwriting rival, but when you've got promos like this, someone like Donovan could seem like a real threat...

I've listened to a bootleg of those '65 shows...whole lotta "Mr Tambourine Man" for sure. I listened to every show, don't think I would do that again, but fun enough once I guess.

unfortunately not too much that hasn't already been bootlegged (and i doubt they could fix up the awful audience recordings too much)... was hoping there might be the pro-recorded dylan and the hawks carnegie hall show. maybe the most interesting thing is the solo acoustic "tombstone blues" from the newport workshop.

so are these like FLAC links for download or what?
Mostly agree w/Euler and tylerw, these are old news to any collector, but some of the electric sets in that gig list are pretty smokin'

yeah hollywood bowl is great, and berkeley is pretty listenable for an audience tape. the other electric sets are pretty dire in terms of sound quality iirc. (and i have a high tolerance for terrible audience recordings, believe me)

the late 65 shows are all audience tapes -- the british acoustic tour should all be soundboards. here's the tracklisting:

seems like there are certain Dylan things that always get taken down (eat the document, renaldo and clara and the hard rain tv special come to mind) but some stuff that just sticks around for whatever reason. who can guess the motives of the web sheriff.
i was in a record store yesterday and they were playing a vinyl bootleg of some rolling thunder 1976 recordings, which weirdly enough was pressed in 2014! guess the vinyl bootleg industry is still alive. terrible artwork too, with a photo of bob from like 1991 on it. seems like if you're going to go to the trouble of breaking the law you should at least make it look cool.
― tylerw, Monday, 1 February 2016 15:09 (eight years ago) link
Do 2014 vinyl bootlegs still do the fake-name thing on labels, like boots in the 70s (e.g., a Dylan boot credited to "Bobby Z and his Orchestra" on the label) ?

whoa
Chaiken has only begun to dip into the hundreds of hours of raw Dylan recording sessions, but he's already come across a completely different version of 1997's Time Out of Mind produced by pianist Jim Dickinson and the complete John Wesley Harding sessions. "It's such a mysterious record," he says. "I heard a couple of alternate takes of 'All Along The Watchtower' that were, to me as a fan, just incredible."
The film footage is equally compelling. It includes 30 hours of outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker's 1965 tour documentary Don't Look Back, another 30 hours of footage shot on Dylan's legendary 1966 electric tour, upwards of 50 hours shot on the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue along with a Toronto stop of Dylan's gospel tour and footage of Dylan, the Band and Tiny Tim goofing around in Woodstock, New York, around the time that work began on The Basement Tapes. "The collection is going to continue to grow," says Chaiken. "As Bob continues to tour, there's going to be more stuff that's added." Bob Dylan; ArchiveLyric draft of "Ballad of a Thin Man" Erik Campos
The bulk of the collection chronicles Dylan's musical career, onstage and off, but there are also more personal items like a mid-1960s address book with phone numbers for Nico, Lenny Bruce and Allen Ginsberg, a private letter from George Harrison praising the recently released Nashville Skyline and 1978 postcard from Barbra Streisand thanking Dylan for sending her flowers.
Dylan's complete recording sessions reside in Iron Mountain, a secret, climate-controlled underground facility, and the University of Tulsa and the Kaiser Foundation are no hurry to move them to Oklahoma, but they are being digitized, and curators plan on making them available to visitors via an offline computer at the Gilcrease Museum. Sony retains the right to release the material to the public via future volumes of the Bootleg Series and other archival packages, but the Tulsa facility will retain ownership of the physical tapes.

...footage of Dylan, the Band and Tiny Tim goofing around in Woodstock, New York, around the time that work began on The Basement Tapes.
^would watch! first time i listened to the you are what you eat soundtrack i remember thinking that organ playing sounds familiar... then the slowly dawning realisation that, yes, that is actually the band backing up tiny tim on his tracks.
the complete John Wesley Harding sessions

so the "Blowin' In The Wind" on Vol 11 disk 5: this is great! did they do it this way any other times? it's waaaay diff than Before the Flood, looser, more hilarious, 1967, like I actually want to listen to that song again!

yeah i love that one -- i actually think he mayyy have played it in a similar arrangement sometime during the neverending tour years!wonder what exactly they were doing with those old tunes at that point. i know dylan talks about a potential tour with the band in that late 60s rolling stone interview. pretty weird to think of them going out on the road in 68 or 69 with a head full of basement noise. guess the closest we'll come is that isle of wight gig (and those few tunes on the guthrie tribute concert album)

THE WILBURYS ARE COMING…CONCORD BICYCLE MUSIC PARTNERS WITH THE TRAVELING WILBURYS TO REISSUE CATALOGThe Traveling Wilburys’ Music to Debut on Streaming Services for First Time Ever
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Concord Bicycle Music is very pleased to announce that it has entered into a worldwide licensing agreement with The Traveling Wilburys to represent the iconic band's entire catalog, including physical and digital reissues. For the first time ever, the super group’s music will be available on streaming services, beginning June 3, 2016, along with the re-launch of the hugely successful Traveling Wilburys Collection box set as a limited-edition, uniquely numbered 2-CD 1-DVD box set, standard 2-CD 1-DVD package, deluxe 180-gram vinyl box and for the first time as high-resolution downloads. The release includes albums (Vol. 1 and Vol. 3), bonus tracks and a DVD featuring footage of the band from the first chord to the final mix. When originally released in 2007, The Traveling Wilburys Collection debuted at #1 in the U.K. and six other countries and entered the U.S. charts at #9, making it the highest chart debut of a box set at the time, and has since been certified Gold.The previously released albums Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 feature music's greatest singer-songwriters — George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan — as the legendary band the Traveling Wilburys.The Wilburys formed in 1988 after Dylan, Harrison, Petty, Lynne and Orbison assembled at Dylan's Malibu, California studio to record a B-side for the Harrison single "This Is Love." The resulting song, "Handle With Care," was instead released under the Wilburys name, with the artists posing as a band of brothers. George later said, "I liked the song and the way that it turned out with all these people on it so much that I just carried it around in my pocket for ages thinking, 'Well what can I do with this thing?' And the only thing to do I could think of was do another nine. Make an album." The original album release, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, achieved great success; after hitting No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, the certified double Platinum album earned a GRAMMY® for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, the group's second album, was released in 1990 and dedicated to Lefty (Roy Orbison) Wilbury, who passed away in late 1988 before recording could be completed. "She's My Baby" and "Wilbury Twist" became radio hits as the album reached #11 in the U.S. and was certified Platinum.Scott Pascucci, CEO Concord Bicycle Music and Sig Sigworth, SVP Catalog Concord Bicycle Music said in a joint statement, "The global success of the Traveling Wilburys reissues in 2007 was one of our career highlights. So, we are very proud to bring the Wilburys' catalog to Concord Bicycle Music and work with these incredible songs and musicians a second time." "…one of the few rock super groups actually deserving to be called either super or a group."—Rolling Stone, Dec 1, 1988 # # #The Traveling WilburysWebsite: travelingwilburys.comFacebook: facebook.com/travelingwilburysInstagram: instagram.com/officialwilburyTwitter: twitter.com/officialwilburyYouTube: youtube.com/user/TravelingWilburys For more information:Cary Baker • Conqueroo • c✧✧✧@conque✧✧✧.c✧✧

Yeah, but each one of those countries started a band.
