Bob Dylan / The Band – Before The Flood (2-CD)
Product Details
Recorded during the winter 1974 tour, Dylan's first major run of dates since 1966, these performances capture something genuinely unsettled. Dylan had spent years watching other artists define his songs for new audiences, and here he reclaims them with a ferocity that caught even longtime fans off guard. The Band, road-hardened and telepathic by this point, match him every step of the way.
BEFORE THE FLOOD is a double album souvenir of Dylan's record breaking, critically acclaimed North American tour with The Band and a dynamic document of a transitional period in Dylan's life and art. While the shows were promoted as a nostalgic look back, at many points Dylan seemed to be hurling himself at his own familiar early songs as if against the walls of a prison cell. Dylan tears through his greatest songs in a manner that might not be comforting, but guarantees it to be one of the best live albums ever.
