Remastered by Mr. Sifter, July 2024. Some songs have incomplete intros/outros, and “Southbound” has a cut in the middle. Not anyone’s favorite era but an overlooked era, with full 5 songs off ‘Brothers Of The Road,’ an album they’d never return to again after the tour ended a couple months later.
Speed corrected to the correct pitch using Audacity,
Clearly a few generations from the master, removed some of the gratuitous hiss and attempted to EQ some details out of the lows and mids to at least give this short-lived lineup a fair shake here.
Thx to Sean Gleason for his original 2012 upload.

If I had to pick one favorite thing about boots, it’s the ability to hear live songs that were only played rarely or even just on one tour, like the liner notes here say. Official live albums almost never feature things like that. (Although I love official live albums too and have hundreds.)
Yes! I love it when they play rarities. And cover songs. I have a friend who hates it when an artist plays a cover song because he figures that means they aren’t playing one of their songs. But I love a good cover in a concert. It mixes things up a bit.
For sure! Dylan is a bit of a master of that. I have a book that details all of the 600+ covers he’s played thru the years (when the book was written) ,which many people might find funny since he’s known as perhaps America’s best modern songwriter.
That sounds like a cool book. I assume you have a copy of that cool compilation of Dylan covers from the NET?
To me a guy like Dylan covering other people’s music is both a cool hat tip from him and an insight into some of his influences.
