Wow. Very interesting. Firing up those shows right now! I prefer '76 to '75, so this is wonderful for me.

Please tell me you asked him about Salt Lake City :)

Been getting round to listening to these immersively. Thanks Bennyboy for the tweaks:-)

Hyperbole possibly, but to me these enhance what we know about '76.

I get a better feeling of a journey, a ramping up of intensity (not all for the better) from Mobile through to Fort Collins.

Along with the amazing recordings, the interview is a hoot to read. And I'd never known Willie Nelson played a Rolling Thunder show ... that's very cool.

On a personal note regarding Willie and Dylan - 29 and 33 years after these shows, my wife and I took each of my boys to see Willie (and John Mellencamp) open for Dylan - in their first concerts ever - as babies. (The lineup was the same in 2005 and 2009 - Willie opened, then Mellencamp, then Dylan)
