This 3CD set comes in an 8¾" x 11¼" book-style case with a separate book inside. It is a tribute to the US pioneer A&R man and music publisher Ralph Silvester Peer (1892-1960). He discovered and recorded many well-known artists, including Jimmie Rodgers in 1927. |

Various Artists - "Woody Guthrie:
The Tribute Concerts" - 3CD
boxed set: Bear Family BCD 17329 (Germany), 18 Sep 2017:
Bob and The Band play three Woody Guthrie songs from Carnegie Hall, New
York, 20 Jan 1968, and also appear on two
ensemble songs. For the original album releases of these concerts and full
details of this 2017 release, see
1972.
 Bear Family BCD 17329 (Germany) - front of box, picture from Bear Family web-site |
This 3CD boxed set contains two books in a card slipcase, one with pockets for the discs on the inside rear. The 1968 and 1970 concerts are now ordered chronologically, so that all three of Bob's songs with The Band from the 1968 New York afternoon concert are together on CD1, with the ensemble This Train Is Bound For Glory (which is still sadly truncated, this time at 1:16) at the start of CD1 and the ensemble This Land Is Your Land at the end of CD1 (also still not in full). The 1970 Hollywood Bowl concert is on both CD2 and CD3, with material not released on the original 1972 releases including new 1970 ensemble versions without Bob of This Train Is Bound For Glory and This Land Is Your Land. There is no new 1968 material, and the extra 1970 material does not include any Dylan contributions, as he was not present. |

R-0065 Dear Mrs. Roosevelt
(Woody Guthrie)
- Bob and The Band, afternoon show (Side 2, track 3)
R-0066 The Grand Coulee
Dam (Woody Guthrie) - Bob and The Band,
afternoon show (Side 2, track 6)
This track also appears on four 1972 Columbia compilations (listed below on this
page), the Japanese Mr. D's Collection #3
promo CD (see 1993), and is
also available on the 2001 Japanese live compilation Bob
Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances,
see 2001.
R-0067 This Train Is
Bound For Glory (adapted Woody Guthrie)
- Arlo Guthrie and ensemble, afternoon show (Side 1, track 1)
I misreported this song before - it is truncated to 0:29 on both the original
1972 album and the
1989 single CD release,
with only the Arlo
Guthrie introduction to the song remaining (Side 1 track 1). I thought Bob and The Band
were accompanying Arlo
but the actual song with their vocal contributions (if any) is omitted! Glen Dundas in
"Tangled Up In Tapes" (later published as just "Tangled") attributes this to the
evening show, but Dean Chambers has tapes of both shows and says it is from the
afternoon show. This is supported by Michael Krogsgaard in "Master of the
Tracks", who attributes R-0064 - R-0067 to the afternoon show. See comments
for the 2017 Bear Family boxed set below.
R-0068 This Land Is
Your Land (Woody Guthrie)
- Odetta and Arlo Guthrie with ensemble including Bob and The Band, afternoon show
Bob is present on guitar throughout the song and sings verse 6. However, the
released performance is faded out before verse 6!
This may be because the
contractual arrangement between Columbia and Warner Bros did not allow Bob to
appear explicitly on the Part Two album. It's also noticeable that
although the members of The Band, who were signed to Capitol, are listed on
the rear sleeve, Bob is only listed as having been present on Part One,
which was released by Columbia Records.
Alan Hoaksey adds that CD3 includes Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie (7:07) from the Town Hall, New York, 12 Apr 1963, released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3, 1991. As this is a Dylan album track, that qualifies it for this page.

 Columbia/Legacy 889854793326 (USA) - front of digipak, picture from www.bobdylan.com |
bobdylan.com is
selling the Deluxe Edition with an exclusive bonus 2CD set recorded live at
San Diego, CA, on 28 Nov 1979. The San Diego tracks in the
Live and Deluxe Editions come from the previous night, 27 Nov 1979, as do
two in this set, see tracklist above. The two CDs
come in a folded digipak. Harald Sigvartsen notes that the photographer of
the front photo is not credited. At the time it was hoped that this set would eventually be made more widely available in time, but that has not happened so these tracks are now classed as rarities. |
