xx/xx/63 | LK's Bob Dylan & Joan Baez Together Again 63-64 - LK Remaster | 2 | B+ | 76min+65min |
Notes to the new edition., It was pointed out that the speed of the Forrest Hills Baez show (17 Aug 63) was way too fast. So, after due apologies from not noticing this problem before I sent it out, I decided to remaster the whole Baez concert at the correct speed (using 'Troubled and I Don't know Why' from The Baez set 'Rare Live & Classic' box set as a speed reference., The original disk was a very full single CD, so when I slowed the Beaz set down (using the speed control on my Nakamicki deck), it then wouldn't fit on a single CD., Because I had to spread it to two disks, I decided to add additional tracks (turned out to be more than an hour of additional tracks). The compilation now contains ALL the Dylan - Baez recordings that have circulated from 1963/4. Disk one is all 1963, Disk two is all 1964., Disk 1 is 75:52. Disk 2 is 64:20, Artwork is included on the Shn disks., My notes to the first edition:, ------------------------------------------------, Since the next Bootleg Series is expected to be the Halloween concert (31 Oct 64), I dug out some of these old tapes and I've mastered up a new CD (79:58) that captures the folk scene in the early 60's where Dylan was the guest at a Baez concert, and later Baez was a guest at the Dylan concert. I don't expect that Bootleg Series Vol 6 will include 'Silver Dagger' so here I have included a complete recording of it, for the first time anywhere., 1. Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, Aug 17, 1963:, Troubled And I Don't Know Why, Blowin' In The Wind, The tape I've used is a very high quality stereo PA tape. I've included the rest of the Baez set (14 songs) as it sets the scene nicely and this full show is probably quite rare. There are some nice Dylan connections in the full set list (Streets of Laredo / Railroad Boy / (unknown - sounds like an early Hard Rain type of song) / Little Darlin' / In the Pines / Pilgim of Sorrow / Where have all the Flowers Gone / 100 miles / I'm a Rambler, I'm a Gambler / Come all Ye Fair and Tender Maidens / 12 Gates into the City / The Lords Prayer / Amazing Grace / Silver Dagger / Troubled And I Don't Know Why (w Dylan) / Blowin' In The Wind (w Dylan) - cut at 2:13)., 2. Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, Aug 8, 1964:, Mama, You Been On My Mind, It Ain't Me, Babe, With God On Our Side, This is from the fairly poor audience tape, but here presented in 'as good as it get's' quality. I've carefully removed the hiss, but there is is no disguising the over-recording on the original tape and the fairly turgid performances., 3. Philharmonic Hall, NYC, Oct 31, 1964:, Mama, You Been On My Mind, Silver Dagger, With God On Our Side, It Ain't Me, Babe, Here I've used a very rare AUDIENCE tape. The reason I've opted for a poor quality audience tape instead of the PA tape is simply 'Silver Dagger'. This the only place you can hear Dylan's two harmonica spots during Silver Dagger. There is a fragment of Silver Dagger on the full PA tape, but it cuts before Dylan plays the harmonica. On this audience tape Silver Dagger is complete. The quality is slightly below the quality of the audience tape for 8 Aug 64 and is presented here 'as good as it gets'., lk
