Haven't heard of that series, is it an actual bootleg or just how they're marketing it? You're probably a bigger Dylan fan than I am, I'm a fan but probably more casual, even tho I have my own tour jacket with my name on it from the 78 tour from when I did some work for them....View attachment 53890
Dude...for real...that jacket is awesome.

The bootleg series is a series of double discs or box sets that Columbia is bringing out. It started in the 90s with volumes 1 to 3, one 3 CD set that covered the beginning up to 93, I think. Since there is so much Dylan out there, they kept it going and it's on volume 16 now. They aren't in order, like volume 9 was his newer stuff where as volume 10 is all the studio stuff from his first 3 electric albums. If you love Dylans work, which I do, it's pretty necessary. I have most of them except the ones dealing with his beginning stuff. Not a huge fan of that period so I'll get them when I have extra cash and no other things I want.

That tour you worked on is Street Legal period and that was supposedly him at his low point before converting to Christianity. Man, that's awesome you worked on that tour. After, possibly during that period, he got born again and stopped playing anything except his new Christian songs. That's pretty cool you were there, even if you aren't a big Dylan fan, because that's a pretty significant period in Dylan history.

Guess I've just not noticed....will check more of that series out.

I did mostly international logistics stuff for them, and their warehouse/studio in Santa Monica was easy to drop in on, as that was near several friends' places anyways. I preferred dropping in on the Zappa facilities, tho :). The crew who worked for Dylan had a name for the musicians....musoids....because they didn't treat the help all that well apparently. I rarely even saw one of the musicians myself. I do remember the mutiny when Dylan announced they'd go on tour in school buses....believe half quit before he nixed that idea.
