Obviously some parts of this are still missing. It was taking me so long to upload the whole thing that I was getting close to the 30 day limit without a download that I was afraid Zippyshare was going to delete them. I will continue to upload the rest and post the links here so keep checking back.
dylan 1978 tour – i see you are still uploading, but it appears that disk 5 is the link for both disk 4 & 5.
thanks for all you do.
D’oh! That’s for the catch. Should be fixed now.
It probably doesn’t need to be said, but everybody please download what I’ve posted. Otherwise those files will be deleted. The links to the first two disks were already posted, remember so if you got them previous no need to download now.
For anybody concerned by lineage and stuff
Original diskx were extracted to WAV with Winamp Pro (a few years back) then recently converted to FLAC with TLH.
enjoy
Thanks for all you do Matt. It appears that the download for disc 3 is actually disc 4. Downloaded both and they are labeled disc 4 and contain the same tracks.
Oops. Thanks. I’ll work on fixing it soon.
Ok, updated disk 3 MP3, should be the right one now. Also added in Disk 6 MP3 and the first part of Disk 6 FLAC.
I hate to say this, but I’m still getting two volume 5s from the 4 and 5 downloads instead of a 4 and a 5…
Try it now.
That did it, thanks! This is some pretty great stuff!
The rest of Disk 6 FLAC has been uploaded. Now we just have disk 3 to deal with.
don’t forget tracks 16 & 17 from disc 2
thanks for the post – much appreciated
sorry about the problems
Thanks for this bootleg, Hope disc 3 coming soon in FLAC
Good to see this set is giving people as much pleasure as it’s given me over the years.
Mat, for ref, just been reading the notes of this weeks Thousand Highways post – seems that next week he will be posting some kind of ‘best of’ from the last US tour with Duke
Ok, I think that is finally everything. Nellie, are you talking MP3 or FLAC? Did you download all the files?
Dave, thanks so much for this set. Its really quite spectacular.
Thanks again for the set !!
ur welcome, always. Incidentally, i have decent anthology sets for all the tours although they don’t always follow this ‘gig plus’ format. I like ’em, even though I collect many shows individually for all the tours I find these things to be a good framework/overview etc, and they are always a good listen too
FLAC – the last two songs of disc 2 were missing in the original post
not trying to be a problem but there is a third part of disc 3 still missing (disc 3 tracks 1-12 are posted above, Disc 3 tracks 13-17 are still missing).
also, disc 2 tracks 16-17 are also still missing.
I am talking about the FLAC
you haven’t been walking under ladders or killing black cats have you?
appreciate all the effort with this one – it is a great post
Ok, thanks. I’ll attempt to get those tracks up tonight. Or the next. Or the next after that. Whenever my internet will allow me, anyways.
This set is amazing, but man its been a pain in the ass to post. Thanks to all for your patience.
Seems to have been a curse on this one from the very start!
Oh well it can only get better – be strong and hang in there mate, your public awaits!
Disk 2, Tracks 16-17: http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/23489375/file.html
Disk 3, Tracks 13-17: http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/17234330/file.html
wonderful
you got there
thanks again
not quite there yet with the FLAC
Disc 2 Track 16 is wrong. It
s Just Like A Woman but should be Ill Be Your Baby Tonight.the track 16 you have posted is from disc 1, not disc 2
hopefully that’s it
son of a….
Somehow I managed to switch the disk 1 and 2 track 16s up. I’ll reupload the right one tonight.
If anything else is wrong with this stinking show I’ll think I’ll burn the whole site down and move to Zimbabwe 😉
it’s the curse I tell you – Bob’s alimony tour bites back!
I was about to congratulate you on your perseverance, but i think i’ll wait a day or two just in case!
http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/12056491/file.html
Try this. I think its the right track, but I don’t even know anymore. I feel like I’ll be updating this post until the day I die.
thanks. are you in Zimbabwe yet?
Something else wrong?
Hi – I had a little trouble downloading this but I have it now, and it simply awesome. I love the 78 tour …
DylanDave – Id be interested to hear your 76 anthology. 76 and 78 are my favourites.
Mat, it looks like several visits to hell were required to post this anthology. So I’m a little reluctant to ask about disc five.
If it doesn’t present any major problems, could it be re-upped?
Only the mp3 links for disc 1 and 2 are still alive…any chance the zippy files will be back?😊
All links have been updated.

my ‘Bad’ – will get on it – just been too distracted with all the great Bob posts all over the place recently. Did you grab the Charlotte 78 upgrade – essential stuff
Also been investigating the recent gig recordings. If you want a recommendation of one gig with the ‘regular’ setlist go for the Blackpool 24 Nov. Great sounding recording on T.U.B.E.

Discs 3 and 4 are on way up, i’ve created 2 RARs and i’ll email you the 2 dl links soon as they are up. Thought i’d make it easy for you to pull ’em down after midnight and also get some sleep – any chance you can dl these 2 tonight? Despite purchasing more storage a matter of weeks ago, space is becoming critical again so i don’t want the duplicate shared copies hanging around longer than Is necessary. I blame EDGE for going on another posting frenzy and the Dead for playing so many epic shows in ’77 LOL
Can you email me soon as you’ve got ’em then i’ll send 5 and 6 straight away on the same basis.
Sorry to be so demanding but with all these new Bob shows to find a home for etc… Blimey thought i’d get thru Christmas at least before i ran out of space (yet) again!!

I moved disk 3 to my Dropbox which I think means you can delete it. I hope anyways. I will do my very best to grab the files tonight anyways and let you know when I do.
The daughter is a bit sick so that might throw a kink in things but she took some meds and will hopefully sleep through the night.
Thanks very much DylanDave. I appreciate it.

Alright, for some reason it isn’t letting me download from my dropbox so I’m using the original links you provided. Please don’t remove them until I give the OK. Its telling me 9 hours to download so that will be about 9 or so my time in the AM. I’ll let you know when I’ve got them.

No stress, I broke the link with the ‘boots’ folder a while back as it was taking control and the updating/syncing is so aggressive on bandwidth. I was assuming it would be easy and straightforward to q the links but i have no personal experience so let me know if any issues.
Anyway, it’s all relative, concentrate on your daughter, I hope she is feeling a bit better and that you managed to grab a little sleep along the way

Well crap. I started it last night and it looked like things were going good, but woke up this morning to find it stalled out. I’ll try again tonight. If you really need to delete them go ahead. I’m pretty sure they are now on my drop box and I can get them from there even if you delete them from yours.

we’ll leave ’em till ur sure, discs 5 and 6 wuill have to wait a day or two. Managed to squeeze another couple of GBs free on c to keep the wolves at bay for a day or two whilst i scan my slave drives for unnecessaries or duplicates.
Anything i can do? Don’t think i’ve done anything different really over previous earlier efforts, don’t really understand why dropbox is giving you hassle this time.
Does it enable a dl manager like FDM to be used with the direct dl links? Anyway, if you are able to copy them into your dropbox online folder i would expect it to just sync your local drive folder anyway.
Oh well i’m sure it will work out, i know you have the bandwidth issues to consider so i’ll leave you to plot the best path forward

Hang in there Mat, i’ll be ready with 5 and 6 whenever you are able to give me the all clear

Grrrr. Last night I stayed up again and got both files to start downloading from Dropbox. Speeds were good and it gave me an estimated time of less than ten minutes.
The daughter was still sick though and I was exhausted so I went to bed with it still going. I figured surely it would download with those speeds. Woke up this morning to find them both failed. This is really starting to annoy me.
I think it is my internet connection and not dropbox. It is satellite internet which, much like satellite TV, gets wonky when the weather is weird. We’ve not had bad weather but some strong winds and heavy overcast which may have screwed it up.
I’ll try to stay up again tonight and will stay with it until it is really downloaded or I go completely crazy.

Oh boy, i hope things take a turn for the better, with your daughter in particular.
I also know that sinking feeling when you wake up in the morning to find that all the dls you qd so carefully had stalled when your head had barely hit the pillow! in the uk it’s the ISPs who put a short interrupt (usually around 1 or 2 in the morning) just long enough to stall all your non-resumable d/ls
Or is it in fact the Jazz Police, or am i just getting paranoid?
ps strong winds and atmospheric pressure do seem to have a bad effect on digital transmissions (like DVB etc) despite the arrusances they gave us that they wouldn’t.

I got disk 4 last night. I’m starting to get sick myself so I drugged myself up and crashed well before midnight. But the girl woke up somewhere in the middle of the night and once I settled her I loaded up disk 4 and went back to bed. Finally it worked so now I just need disk three.
Sorry this is taking forever.

You definitely want the Paris shows, one is coming on discs 3 and 4, Nashville 78, Charlotte 1978-12-10 (new transfer available at T.U.B.E.).
http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/bob-dylan-1978-12-10-charlotte-nc-aud-flac-167134.html
Another show was posted yesterday from final leg of tour

Not so familiar with that one, i’m gonna check it out later
When all the tour anthology is up you’ll have a good overview of how the song arrangements evolved during the tour. This is quite significant and often neglected when people write about this tour

And, for the summer leg –
A firm favourite for me is: Tales of Yankee Power / Earls Court
June 18. Whilst the sound is not ‘audiophile’ by any means, it is
very, very listenable, warm and plenty of presence…. let’s face it, truly
decent sounding shows from 78 don’t exist.
Or: one of the Paris shows. I like July 3.
For the US tour –
November 15, LA Forum. Or try the new transfer of the “Hush Sweet
Charlotte” set which has started to circulate. Great show and the sound
is enjoyable, even if it leaves a lot to be desired.
One of these days the “Bootleg Series” is actually going to come up with
something worthwhile, like a 4 disc set of a show from the fall plus other
highlights, all in ‘Japanese’ sound quality 😉

DylanDave says:
December 18, 2013 at 10:39 am Edit
Yeah, i think tone of the recording is very important with 78 boots, you need it to sound ‘warm’. I would say that some of the more recent Paris releases could classify as VG+/EX-. It’s always a bit subjective of course
of the fall tour, from memory Springfield, Carbondale and Nashville are amongst the best. Gotta consider the nature of these vast (often outdoor) venues from later in the tour – nightmare for tapers of any era!
From an arrangement/performance perspective I rate Paris/London as the peak really. While the Street Legal stuff is great on the later shows and there are real highlights like the violin driven ‘Times..’ some of the core song arrangements seem to suggest tinkering for it’s on sake and don’t always work very well.
Shame most of the Japan shows are in poor quality, shame the best sounding tape is same show as much of ‘Budokan’ album, shame the Brisbane soundboard is SO ‘dry’ and flat. The freshness of the Japanese shows always shines through and is captured really well on that ‘Far East Tour’ boot of the Osaka shows
ps also can’t understand why the Bootleg Series has neglected this tour for so long, it’s popular with many Dylan fans after all

Not at all, everybody should grab the Charlotte and acquire the LA show (15 Nov). I’ve got no lineage for my fraded CDR copy, but it should have been on my short list – solid show
Really couldn’t pick a Paris favourite but i think my summer pick would come from that residency

Any chance of getting a link to the second half of the 1978 seattle set?. I think it’s great that you are making material from this tour available!
Cheers Mat.
This is fantastic – I really love it and I’ve always thought the 1978 tour was badly represented by the live album. I’ve downloaded it a couple of times now but what is on disc 1 are the first 16 songs on disc 2. Is there any chance of getting the songs actually listed on disc 1?
Matt – never mind. I figured it out. For the most part, discs 1 and 2 are reversed.
