Bob Dylan - The 1974 Live Recordings, New 431-Track Collection Of The Artist's Arena Performances With The Band, To Be Released Across 27 Discs On Columbia Records / Legacy Recordings, September 20.<br/><br/>Deluxe Box Set Features 417 Previously Unreleased Performances, Newly-Mixed Recordings And Liner Notes by Elizabeth Nelson.<br/><br/>Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release The 1974 Live Recordings on Friday, September 20, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's return to touring that year. Featuring all professionally recorded shows from the artist's 1974 performances backed by The Band, the collection will be available as a deluxe box set across 27 CDs. The 1974 Live Recordings offers fans 417 previously-unreleased Bob Dylan live tracks - including 133 recordings newly mixed from 16-track tape, and every single surviving soundboard recording - along with new liner notes by journalist and critic Elizabeth Nelson. <br/><br/>Bob Dylan's 1974 Tour marked his first time touring live in eight years and reunited him with The Band - who had become widely renowned in their own right since backing the artist nearly a decade earlier. Booked into arenas for the first time ever, Bob Dylan and The Band performed 30 dates in 42 days (often playing two sets per day) before an average audience of 18,500 - helping set a new standard for what rock concerts could look and sound like. And in front of those crowds, they brought an energy that Rolling Stone's Ben Fong-Torres described as "searing and soaring, unified and precise...excellent in itself." Music critic Robert Christgau compared the sound to Bob Dylan "running over his old songs like a truck." <br/><br/>Tour '74 kicked off January 3, 1974, at Chicago Stadium - the largest indoor arena in the world at the time it was built - with a tense and combative rip through ultimate deep-cut "Hero Blues," an acoustic-gone-electric outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan sessions, that he had scarcely performed before - or since. Additional rarities - like a wildly-reinvented "Ballad Of Hollis Brown," "Song to Woody" (not performed since 1962) and Planet Waves outtake "Nobody 'Cept You" - would be well received in the tour's first nights. "We were booed off of every stage in Europe," The Band's Robbie Robertson recalled to Newsweek of their previous run together. "What happened tonight in Chicago is so reassuring for us."<br/><br/>The reception wasn't the only thing that had changed since Bob Dylan and The Band last toured together in 1966. Since then, The Band had released six LPs, played Woodstock and other famous stages, and recorded a series of historic sessions with Bob Dylan - from The Basement Tapes to Planet Waves. For his part, Bob Dylan had effectively retired from the road altogether following a 1966 motorcycle accident, yet was still "widely regarded as the most influential and significant star in the last 10 years of American popular music," according to The New York Times.<br/><br/>Though they might not have known it at the time, Bob Dylan and The Band were at the vanguard of a new era. Tour '74 would help create the template for the major rock tour, and codify many of its shared experiences - from the sight of audiences holding up lighters en masse (as captured in the iconic cover image for Before The Flood), to the bright flash of the house lights during a show's signal moment, in this case their performance of "Like A Rolling Stone." Likewise many songs performed live for the first time on Tour '74 - "All Along The Watchtower," "Forever Young" and the show's eventual opener-and-closer "Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll Go Mine)" - would take on a life of their own.<br/> <br/>At the outset, the 1974 Tour was captured on a stereo soundboard mix, on both 1?4" tape and cassette. By tour's end, Asylum Records' David Geffen had commissioned recordings on multitrack tape, the standard at the time, for eventual release on Before the Flood. The 1974 Live Recordings includes it all - the cassettes and 1/4" tapes, and the shows that were recorded on 16-track tape, newly-mixed for this collection.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers famously played 20 nights at the legendary Fillmore venue in San Francisco in 1997. 6 of the shows were professionally recorded and this release features many of the high points of the residency. The small venue allowed the band to vary their sets each night; they included re-arranged and distinctive versions of their hits, deep cuts, and many cover versions-paying tribute to the artists that Tom and the band had been influenced by. The 6 LP deluxe edition includes 58 tracks, 35 of which are covers-over 4 hours of music. The 6 LPs are packaged in a box with a 24 page (12" x 12") booklet (with previously unseen photographs), 3 custom guitar picks, a replica All Access laminate, facsimiles of 3 set lists, a reprint of the 8-page Fan Newsletter published in 1997, and an embroidered patch ("The Fillmore House Band" -a term that was bestowed on The Heartbreakers during the shows at the Fillmore).
