Listen To Bob Dyan Perform “Slow Train Coming” on this Day in 1980

I love the idea of regularly doing a shows in history post. It seems super fun to listen to a show that happened on this day sometime in the past. I do have to train myself to remember to actually listen to a show from this day in history.

Also, the last couple of times I did this, I got a lot of questions concerning where you could download the show.  I need to make sure everyone knows I am no longer uploading shows. If I do a show in history, it is just for fun. It is just to talk about the show, but I won’t be putting download links on this site.

I have been having fun uploading one song from a show to YouTube. I’m still learning how to do it properly, but it seems like a fun way to share a snippet of the shows I’m talking about.

In this case I haven’t had time to actually listen to any show from today. I did listen to a bit of this show from Bob Dylan in Montreal, 1980. The audience recording isn’t great. And to be honest, I wasn’t really in the mood for Christian Bob, but this version of “Slow Train Coming” is a good one and I thought you all might enjoy.

I’ll try to do some more actual Shows in History posts soon.

Bob Dylan – Tulsa, OK (03/25/25)

No, I’m not sharing a recording of this show (though you can already find one over at Expecting Rain). But I wanted to talk about it anyway.

Yesterday was my birthday. Bob Dylan, one of my all-time favorite artists came to town on my birthday. That would have made a great birthday present.

When the show was announced I was super excited. I missed him the last time he came to town because my in-laws were arriving that very night for a visit and it felt rude to not be here when they arrived.

I vowed to never miss him again. He is 83 after all and as much as I don’t want to think about it, he probably doesn’t have that many more tours left in him.

I am a stupid, stupid man. When tickets went on sale I was busy at work so I put off buying them. I don’t think he sold out last time so I figured he wouldn’t sell out this time.

Ah, but here’s the thing. When the Tulsa show was announced there were no other shows scheduled. We weren’t sure if he was ever going to tour again. Add to that the fact that the Bob Dylan Center is in Tulsa a buzz began that this might be a special show. Maybe Bob was finally going to recognize the center (I don’t think he’s ever even visited the place). Maybe there would be special guests. That turned out not to be true, but I think the buzz made people buy tickets like mad.

It sold out. I did not get a ticket.

There are worse things in life, but that is definitely a disappointment. I couldn’t help but follow the setlist and read the reviews. The big news was that Anton Fig took over the drumming position. He’s played with everyone from Warren Zevon to B.B. King to Cyndi Lauper but may be best known for his role in David Letterman’s house band. He also played on a couple of Bob records and was the drummer for Bob Fest.

The setlist remained pretty much the same as it was on his last tour. Interestingly he took a fifteen-minute break after the 8th song. It will be curious to see if that continues through the tour. Reviews have been very good and I’m excited to sit down with the recording sometime soon.

Various Artists – Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 19

Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 19: Humdingers! Folksingers! Dead Ringers!

Give credit for the inspiration for this volume to Stew (of StewART fame), who has quietly, then not so quietly, insisted that this series could not be complete without a Dylan cover performed by Joan Baez. I’ve tried and failed to get Joan into several previous volumes, so this time decided to build the entire set around her, including ’60s contemporaries like Arlo Guthrie, Gordon Lightfoot, and Judy Collins as well as current artists whose styles blend in with these old-school folkies. We’ve also got a couple of bluegrass goodies, and some stripped down rock bombast in the form of the Lovemongers, a one-off group formed for an anti-Gulf War 1 benefit and featuring Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart (along with Sue Ennis and Frank Cox). In all, 15 new NSD perormers here, and four new songs, including the instrumental “Nashville Skyline Rag” (Nobody PLAYS Dylan Like Dylan, either).

Speaking of Ms. Baez, if anyone has a good live version (unofficial, of course) of her doing “Love is Just a Four Letter Word,” please PM me. Otherwise, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the folks who’ve sent me recordings, the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Please keep the suggestions and files coming–if you’ve got something good, PM me.

Enjoy!

recording details
taper: audiowhore
lineage: SP-CMC-8 > Samson PM-4 > Minidisc (Sony MZ-NH1) > Creative Sound Blaster Premium HD external soundcard > Adobe Audition
taping location: in front of the sound desk
total recording time: 1 hour 38 mins 35 seconds
A ‘rough transfer’ version of this recording was circulated to a limited circle of Bob collectors in May 2011 on the understanding that it not be torrented or further shared.
This version supersedes that earlier one. It is a new transfer made with a superior sound card and noticeably improved sound quality to the ‘rough transfer’ version.

Concert details
This concert occurred on the 6th day of the 2011 Bluesfest.
Bob played from 9 – 10.30pm and was the final act of the festival.
Australian acts Gurrumul and Paul Kelly peformed before Bob.
The MoJo Stage was the largest of the 5 stages at this festival.
It was a massive circus tent providing shelter from the storm outside (see below).

The Byron Bay Bluesfest 2011 was held on the Tyagarah Tee Tree Farm which is located 11 kilometres north of Byron Bay in northern New South Wales. The festival site can accommodate 17,500 festival visitors per day and 6,500 campers.

The site is a fully operational Tea Tree Farm for most of the year and turns into the Bluesfest site for a few weeks before, during and after the Easter Festival weekend each year.
http://www.bluesfest.com.au/

Information about how this concert came about
The 6th day of the festival (and Bob’s second show) was added to the original 5 day schedule after a number of events.

Firstly, day 5 sold out quickly and the promoter stated that there was a high demand for a second Bob show at the festival. This could only occur if the festival was extended due to Bob having prior shows in Melbourne and Wollongong during the earlier days of the festival.
An application to the Byron Shire Council was submitted and it was advised that this would be considered at the council’s next meeting which was scheduled for 10 February 2011.

The festival promoter stated that he needed a decision sooner than that and demanded that all councillors and council staff return from their Christmas holidays in order to decide on his application. The promoter then threated to take the councillors to court if they did not do so.

Several returned from oversees holidays in order a attend a newly convened ‘Extraordinary meeting’ which was held on 6 January 2011.
See- http://www.byron.nsw.gov.au/meetings/2011-01-06-extra
The promoter praised the council’s decision to approve his application and advised that he would announce details of the extra 6th day after he had returned from his oversees holiday.

Details of the 6th day were then announced on 1 February 2011.
The added half-day program saw a much smaller turn-out than expected and the day was marred by prolonged torrential rain.
The festival site became a muddy bog difficult to walk through and the smell of raw sewage permeated. In particular the area where food vendors were set up near the entrance to the Mojo Stage turned into a stinking swamp that made it hugely difficult for any hungry punters to actually stand in this area without sinking into the smelly mud.
No provisions such as covering the mud with straw or hay were made by the promoter.

low gen reel to reel (obtained in the ’70s, likely second gen from master) > Otari 5050 mk2 playback (April 2011) > ADL/Furutech GT40 USB audio device > Peak 6.0 > FLAC

On one interesting shelf in the JEMS archives are tapes of Dylan’s 1974 tour with the Band. Our own S taped the Seattle shows and then drove to Oakland (on a gasless Sunday, he’ll remind you, as this was in the middle of the energy crisis) to record both sets there. After the tour completed, S took out classified ad (which I hope to find some day) in Rolling Stone magazine looking to trade tapes of the tour with others who recorded.

He didn’t collect the entire tour, but he did track down a handful of shows on reel to reel, including this late set from Houston. Given when and how it was obtained, and what S has told me over the years, he got these tapes from people who recorded the shows themselves, so there’s a strong reason to believe this show is legitimately second generation. I assume second generation because the cassette may have been moved to a safety reel, of which this is a copy. Given the duration, it appears the taper was on cassette (gear unknown) and captured just north of 90 mins of the show, conserving tape, as was often the case in those days, by pausing between songs.

As such many of these tracks are joined a second or two in progress, but you still come away with feeling of hearing the entire show. As the recent posts of ’74 tapes has made clear, this tour wasn’t consistently well recorded and there are several shows for which the only circulating recordings are often described as passable, listenable or worse. I would call this one very listenable. Not amazing, but based on input from a few tour experts, better than we have had before. Samples provided. I think it is in upgrade and I’ve been working on it for some time, so the release with the rest of the ’74 tour flood is good timing.

Also, unlike the circulating recordings from Houston per Lossless Bob (and this source is likely to be the same as something previously circulated, just lower gen and possible more complete), the full Band set is here. What’s not here is the encore.

JEMS has the afternoon show on a separate reel from what appears to be the same taper. That will come down the road if folks like this source. Please let me know as these old reels are finicky and I want to make sure people care given the effort it takes.

The taper conserved tape, as was often the case in those days, by pausing between songs.

As such many of these tracks are joined a second or two in progress, but you still come away with feeling of hearing the entire show. As the recent posts of ’74 tapes has made clear, this tour wasn’t consistently well recorded and there are several shows for which the only circulating recordings are often described as passable, listenable or worse. This one is really good all considering better than passable and better and more complete than the late show recording in all aspects. It is not a perfect recording by any means but it is a very enjoyable and clear sounding for the most part. Unlike other versions out there this contains The Band’s portion of the set pretty much complete with only Loving You (Is Sweeter Than Ever) cutting out prematurely. We believe this to be an upgrade in sound quality and completeness to all existing circulating copies but you the listener will be the ultimate decider on that (but we do believe you will come to the same conclusion after listening).
