One thought on “Bob Dylan – Los Angeles, CA (06/01/78)

  1. These mid-tour LA dates were never held in particularly high regard by Bob collectors. Limited set variation and uninspiring AUD recs of all but one night (2nd June) left these shows trailing behind the best shows from Osaka, Paris, London, and then later Charlotte, springfield, Nashville etc.

    The rediscovery of the Millard tapes turned that world upside down!

    Just essential, as all these ‘new’ Millard’s are
