Encierra más de 431 canciones en vivo, de las cuales 417 son inéditas
El histórico regreso de Bob Dylan a las giras en 1974 se recoge en una nueva y enorme caja, “Bob Dylan – The 1974 Live Recordings”.
Los 27 discos recogen 431 temas, 417 inéditos, de la gira de 1974 de Dylan con The Band. Fue su primera gira prolongada desde su polémica gira de 1966, también con la banda.
La próxima caja, que saldrá a la venta el 20 de septiembre, recoge 27 actuaciones de Dylan con The Band en 1974. A las pocas semanas de los conciertos, publicaron “Planet Waves”, el primer álbum de estudio de Dylan y The Band. En esta gira, Dylan actuó por primera vez en estadios y ofreció 30 conciertos en 42 días. Cada día solía tocar dos veces, por la tarde y por la noche.
Al igual que “The 1966 Live Recordings” de 2016, que celebró el 50 aniversario de la gira de ese año con un conjunto de 36 CD, “The 1974 Live Recordings” documenta todos los espectáculos grabados profesionalmente de la gira.
Dylan solo había tocado un puñado de veces en directo desde 1966, por lo que la expectación era máxima ante uno de los artistas más populares de la música.
¿Qué contiene el álbum “The 1974 Live Recordings” de Bob Dylan?
Las fechas comenzaron el 3 de enero en Chicago y se prolongaron hasta el 14 de febrero en Inglewood, California. Entre medias, Dylan y The Band actuaron en Filadelfia, Toronto, Atlanta y Seattle, entre otras ciudades.
Esta gira se ha considerado la primera gran gira de este tipo y sentó las bases para todo lo que vino después.
De la gira se extrajo un doble álbum en directo, “Before the Flood”, que se publicó en junio de 1974. Según un comunicado de prensa de la nueva caja, los conciertos fueron “capturados en una mezcla de caja de resonancia estéreo, tanto en cinta de 1/4″ como en casete” . Al final de la gira, David Geffen, de Asylum Records, encargó grabaciones en cinta multipista, el estándar de la época, para su posterior publicación en Before the Flood.
“The 1974 Live Recordings lo incluye todo: los casetes y las cintas de 1/4″, y los conciertos que se grabaron en cinta de 16 pistas, recién mezclados para esta colección”.
Los conciertos incluyeron cortes profundos como ‘Hero Blues’, éxitos como ‘Lady Lady Lay’ y ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, y canciones del catálogo de Dylan que se remonta a los años 60 (‘It Ain’t Me, Babe’, ‘Gates of Eden”) hasta ‘Planet Waves’ (‘Nobody ‘Cept You’, ‘Forever Young’).
