Comment
Courtesy of Les Kokay:
This guide to the Rolling Thunder Revue began as I attempted to sort out some questions about the attribution of certain tapes from the tour. I soon realised that there was no single reference book I could go to to get any details of „other artists‟. There is not even a decent reference that would give me a list of the tapes that the tapers had made during the tour. As I searched beyond Dundas, Olof or Krogsgaard all I could find were CD and Bootleg listings which are full of errors and are surprisingly sparse in their coverage of the tour. Ultimately I was left to my own devices; I had access to the tapes, I just needed the time and energy to listen to them. Many of the tapes include only the Dylan set, and I soon discovered that to truly understand what these tours were about it is essential to hear the sets from other artists.
This book is intended to give an overview of the 1975 and 1976 tours and a listing of resources that I am aware of, as well as some comments on particular shows. My inspiration for the format was my rather „dog-eared‟ book by Paul Cable, "Bob Dylan: His Unreleased Recordings", which was an indispensable guide when I was getting interested in collecting. I felt there was value in more detailed resource documentation and commentary than is feasible in the large books covering the whole of Dylan's career. I have noted most of Dylan's stage comments, where intelligible, because he made a number of interesting dedications. Occasional stories or comments by other artists have been noted where I think they are of interest.
