A two-CD set of live Bob Dylan recordings taped at concerts between 1962 to 1966 previously available only in Japan will be released worldwide on July 27th. Live 1962 – 1966: Rare Performances from The Copyright Collections begins with solo acoustic tunes taped at Gerde’s Folk City in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1962, continues with major moments from his folk career (including Dylan’s 1963 headlining show at Carnegie Hall) and concludes with songs from his legendary 1965/66 electric tour where he enraged folk purists by playing with a rock band.
The songs are drawn from copyright protection releases that Sony has quietly released in extremely limited numbers over the past six years. They’re a result of European copyright law that stipulates any recording enters the public domain that goes unreleased for 50 years. Only extreme fans will have the patience to wade through the repetitive, un-curated original copyright protection releases, so this new set cherry-picks the most interesting moments. They include the earliest known version of “Blowin’ in the Wind,” a duet with Joan Baez on “When the Ship Comes In” taped shortly before Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington and a scorching “Ballad of a Thin Man” where Dylan is backed by The Hawks in Scotland.
Dylan resumes his Never Ending Tour on July 27th with a show at the Oympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, South Korea. He’ll then spend a month playing gigs all across Asia and Australia, wrapping up August 28th at the Horncastle Arena in Christchurch, New Zealand. As of now, his only American date on the books for the fall is an October 13th show at the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
