Bob Dylan Announces Massive 40-Disc ‘Rolling Thunder Revue’ Box Set

Bob Dylan has announced a massive new box set titled The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings, arriving this fall on Nov. 6. Pre-orders are currently open for the expansive release.

Spanning nearly 40 discs, the set captures the second leg of Dylan’s historic Rolling Thunder Revue tour. That leg launched on April 18, 1976, in Lakeland, Florida, and wrapped up on May 25, 1976, in Salt Lake City. According to a press release, “almost all” of the 27 show dates from that segment are featured across 371 never-before-heard tracks.

The Band and Historical Impact

During this 1976 trek, Dylan’s backing band featured bassist Rob Stoner, violinist Scarlet Rivera, drummer Howie Wyeth, and guitarists Mick Ronson—formerly of David Bowie’s Spiders from Mars—Steven Soles, David Mansfield, and T Bone Burnett.

Reflecting on the tour’s legacy, Burnett recalled, “The Rolling Thunder Revue was the first national punk rock tour. It opened a door that led to a furious explosion of new music — the Clash, Elvis Costello, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols and on and on. Dylan had done it again. He is good at walking through doors that no one else even sees, doors that others think are walls.”

Liner Notes and Set Details

In the set’s liner notes, Mikal Gilmore writes: “All that’s left of the Rolling Thunder movie that was never made but instead played out on stages for four-and-a-half weeks in the spring of 1976, is what you now hold in your hands. Play the music, close your eyes, and watch the story.”

The collection includes extensive recordings from various stops along the spring 1976 route. Below is a partial look at the massive track listing spanning the tour’s early Florida dates:
