disc one tracks 1-7: Nov. 04 1961, New York, NY, Carnegie Chapter Hall.

disc one tracks 8-12: "Allstars Hootenanny", Sept. 22 1962, New York, NY, Carnegie Hall.

disc one tracks 13-15 and disc two tracks 1-3: Oct. 26 1963, New York, NY, Carnegie Hall.

disc two tracks 4-17: April 12 1963, New York, NY, Town Hall.

All tracks remastered. Pretty good quality here. All recordings are soundboard, exept for the second one, which is an audience, but for this early time pretty good too. Sadly none of the recordings include a full show. The first two are at least continous. The last two are single tracks exept for disc one tracks 14&15 and disc two tracks 1&2, 4&5, 6&7, 9&10, 11&12 and 14-17 (at least those songs came after each other in the concert. Often I cutted them together here from different scource-tapes and sometimes the applause of the first song just fades out and then the next song comes).

The Carnegie Chapter Hall concert:

This is Bob Dylan's first real concert. This circulating soundboard tape here cuts sadly during the introduction of the song after Fixin' To Die. The quality is pretty good, but it seems as Dylan moved a lot around on the stage and because of that, the volume staggers all the time. A few times it was even a little too high for the microphones what produced a some kinda "ramble"-noise.

The Carnegie Hall Allstars Hootenanny:

IMO one of the most underrated tapes. Always described as a "poor audience recording", but it isn't too bad at all. Compared with audience tapes from '64-'66 it's even pretty good. It contains the only circulating live-performances of Sally Gal and Highway 51 and the first live-performance at all of Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues, Ballad Of Hollis Brown (first known recording at all) and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (first or second known recording at all). Though there's some crowd-rustle during the whole tape the audinece is pretty low during the songs and the tape is IMO pretty good enyojable. Vocals and instruments can both be heard pretty good all the time and they are not bad balanced. Of course the quality is lower than on the soundboard tapes here, but if you like recordings, where you get the feeling of "beeing really there inbetween the audinece", this is exactly the one to get from the early '60.

The Carnegie Hall concert '63:

Though the whole concert was recorded by CBS for the never released live-album "In Concert" only the 5 songs which should be used on there and the officially released Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues are in circulation. But on the other side, the quality here is near perfection. I removed nearly all vinyl-crackles and the last rest of tapehiss from the acetate tracks.

The Town Hall concert '63:

This was Dylan's first bigger concert. It was also recorded by CBS for "In Concert" but more then the half concert is in circulation (though some of the most interesting songs as Highway 51, which I personally anyway don't believe, that it was performed, or Ballad Of Hollis Brown don't circulate). IMO CBS should definitely have released this one here instead of the Halloween concert '64. This would have been much more interesting. Exept for the second half of Silver Dagger, everybody has the Halloween concert already. But back to the Town Hall concert: The quality here differs from song to song here. Some are near perfection and some are from Xth generation tapes and not that good. I included here from all songs the most complete recording. As far as I know, this concert wasn't in this complete form in circulation yet. There's a disc from dylanvine out there, containing all this songs here as well, but a little bit of the talking between the songs isn't included there and IMO they used a way too high tapehiss-filter.

This is the third one of the Early Recordings series. I'm still missing one song for Vol. VI, so it will probably take yet some time, until I have it finish. I'm also working on other remasterprojects. Maybe they'll be finish earlier. I hope you enjoy the first three and are patient for the other ones :-).

Rolling Thunder Logbook by Sam Shepard

1998, BBC Radio 4

Read by Nathan Osgood

SHEPHARD, SAM

"Playwright commissioned by Dylan to write a screenplay for a film to be shot

on the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue. Though the script idea was later dropped,

Shepheard contributed his ideas and acting to the film Renaldo and Clara and

documented the tour in his Rolling Thunder Logbook. He subsequently

collaborated with Dylan on the 1984 song 'New Danville Girl' and on a June

1987 feature for Esquire magazine." From Clinton Heylin's "Behind the Shades"

Rolling Thunder Logbook was originally published by Viking Press in 1977 and Penguin paperback in 1978.

Rolling Thunder Revue

04-25-76

University Of Florida Field, Gainesville, FL

* incomplete recording

NOTES:

Recorded with a Sony TC355.  Converted by "cassette deck

into the A/D converter in a DAT deck, then via optical SPDIF

into the Frontier Wavecenter PCI interface in my PC. I'll just

normalize with Soundforge as one big .wav file per cassette side."

After I received the wav files, I did minor editing of beginning

and end of each cassette side, and chopped into tracks.

"Unfortunately, there's only 1 and a half songs before the

campus police chased us all out of the press box. There's a

complete Mr. Tambourine Man, and a Simple Twist of Fate

partial....that's it.

Here's the story...at the time, I had keys to access

the press box. I got set up on the roof...stands for the

mikes and everything. Then I let up a friend...who used the

elevator down to ground level to let up another friend and

so on and so on. By the time Dylan came on there were

probably 20 to 30 people on the roof. Someone must have seen

all the people up there and sent up the campus cops. It's a

damn shame, because the sound and set up were excellent."

fixed up and reseeded.

638MB FLAC

A combination of Sector Boundary Errors and short skips at the beginning of tracks were corrected and or removed.  FLAC format was chosen for reseed due to its ablity to correctly handle sector bounary issues.  A beep at the very beginning of the first disk was edited out and preexisting edits (example encore break, disk beginning, disk end) had short fades applied.  Track seperations were done anew.  For purposes of identification I added a track ID for the band introductions on the next to last track on the second disk.  The introduction was declipped and turned down in volume and the beginning of one song was turned up to compensate for changes in the recording volume.  With these two exceptions the songs are not edited or remastered IN ANY WAY.

All credit due to the original taper.
