Bob Dylan & Friends – Decades Live '61-'94 - 8 x CD Box Set
8CDs, Collectors Box Set with 16 Page Full Colour Booklet with Background Liners and Rare Images
Since coming to prominence in 1962, Bob Dylan has never ceased to create and innovate, his remarkable songwriting being matched by the quality and quantity of his live performances. This 8-disc set gathers several historically important sets, all originally recorded for broadcast on various different stations, including WBAI-FM, WNBC-FM and others. They find him playing intimately and in front of huge crowds, with material ranging from protest folk to rock’n’roll, and are accompanied here by background notes and images.
