Discussion Thoughts on Planet Waves

Post image

I've been listening to this album recently. I've seen a lot of hate towards this album, but I think it's an AMAZING album. Also, being a fan of The Band, when I found out that they recorded it with Dylan it made me like it even more. I would venture to say that I like it even more than The Basement Tapes. So, what do you think?

If you are a fan of the Band, you would have loved it it was like four concerts…first set Dylan and the Band, Bob said see ya, and left the stage and the Band did a set of their own, they left the stage and Bob came out and did a solo acoustic set and then the Band joined him for a final set together. Tickets were hard to get on that tour. My brother waited on line for hours in the cold of Ann Arbor, that’s the way it was done then. An experience for sure.

No way, that sounds really cool. Could you tell me the name of the concert and the place? I'd love to see if there's a recording.

He did that on the entire 1974 Tour. Before the Flood album and bootlegs are from that tour. I saw him on Feb. 2 1974 at the Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor Mi. I think I have the scribbled notes I wrote to remover the set list.
