	Rolling Thunder Revue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rolling Thunder Revue was a famed concert tour comprised of a traveling caravan of musicians, headed by Bob Dylan, that took place in the fall of 1975 and the spring of 1976.
		As the tour progressed, Shepard discovered his role as scriptwriter was somewhat superfluous inasmuch of the film was entirely improvised (with little guidance or direction in shaping those improvisations).
		As the first official release to capture the Revue at its peak, it was warmly received amongst fans and critics, and sold well.

	The Bootleg Series Vol. 5: Live 1975, The Rolling Thunder Revue \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		By 1975, Bob Dylan was once again ascending, after spending the late '60s and early '70s switching record labels, acting in a Sam Peckinpah film, releasing albums that puzzled fans, finishing a novel, painting, and generally refusing to behave like the counterculture hero that the previous decade had made him.
		For The Rolling Thunder Revue, Dylan assembled a grab bag of musicians—old friends like Joan Baez, performers who had worked on his then-forthcoming album Desire, David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, and musicians picked up along the way—and traveled the country playing quickly assembled concerts at unlikely venues.
		Covering the same ground as the 1976 live album Hard Rain, but taken from concerts considered superior by Dylanphiles, Live 1975, The Rolling Thunder Revue is the first of the ongoing Bootleg Series to overlap with officially released material, but it doesn't matter.

	Movie Habit: Review of Rolling Thunder and the Gospel Years (2006), ***
		Rolling Thunder and the Gospel Years is a significant improvement over Gilbert’s previous two Dylan documentaries and far more ambitious.
		Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue was a traveling musical carnival that Stoner describes as something “wilder and more off the cuff” than previous Dylan tours.
		Rolling Thunder and the Gospel Years definitely paints a picture of Dylan, the man and the enigma, without Dylan’s own participation.

	+++ neumu [ the drama you've been craving ]
		This two-CD set is drawn from 24-track recordings of Rolling Thunder Revue performances in four North American cities, three in Massachusetts (Worcester, Boston, Cambridge) and one in Montreal, Canada.
		This new Dylan album of old recordings is a revelation for those of us who didn't attend one of the Rolling Thunder Revue shows — and for those craving something authentic, this is truly the real thing.
		The Rolling Thunder Revue, which found Dylan mostly playing intimate theaters, was a reaction.

	McGuinn: The Solo Years 1974-1977
		Just when he was about to be counted out, though, McGuinn joined Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, touring the country with a rejuvenated Dylan and a coterie of top-rank folksingers.
		Despite the improved songwriting by McGuinn, the album highlights were covers of two unreleased tracks by Rolling Thunder tourmates: "Up to Me" by Bob Dylan and "Dreamland" by Joni Mitchell.
		Unfortunately, favorable press and renewed attention as a result of Rolling Thunder were not enough to get the album commercial airplay, and it missed the charts entirely after its May release.

	Bob Dylan: The Bootleg Series, Volume 5: Live 1975 - The Rolling Thunder Revue [2002] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		When an artist creates such a diverse, potent and extraordinarily large body of work, and does so for over 40 years, it's bound be quite a long time before the mountain built beneath the man is washed to the sea.
		The initial shows, however, reveal the true magic of Rolling Thunder (as anyone who's heard the widely circulated bootleg shows will attest), with writer and theater director Jacques Levy attempting to organize and manage a production that swelled to over one hundred artists, crew and various hangers-on.
		Perhaps the lasting legacy of the Rolling Thunder Revue, and further justification for the existence of Live 1975, is its first glimpse of what would eventually become the Never-ending Tour Dylan embarked on during the late '80s.

	Bob Dylan - Live 1975 - The Rolling Thunder Revue Bootleg 5 (Album Review)
		It only took four years for Volume 5 (Live 1975 — The Rolling Thunder Revue) to see the light of day, and Volume 6 (a complete 1964 concert) is promised in 2003.
		As with the initial two installments (and four volumes) of the bootleg series, Live 1975 — The Rolling Thunder Revue is essential Dylan material.
		Most of the contributions from Dylan’s compatriots have been edited from Live 1975 — The Rolling Thunder Revue, and his own set is compiled from five distinct performances, recorded over four nights.

	Jambands.com \| CD Reviews \| Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue - Bob Dylan \| 2002-11-23
		Here was the Rolling Thunder Revue, a motley crew of sidemen, sycophants, and genuine superstars: Dylan himself; Bob Neuwirth, T-Bone Burnett, and Mick Ronson in the backing band; Joan Baez and Allen Ginsberg and Ramblin' Jack Elliot along for the ride; and superstar guest appearances at nearly every turn.
		And in the midst of this explosion, the Rolling Thunder Revue tumbled out across the country in a manner which has often been referred to as "barn storming": there were no announced tourdates, just a rollicking party that turned up in small towns, booked venues, and played shows all in the same day.
		Famously, Dylan donned white face makeup for many of the shows on the Rolling Thunder tour -- as is depicted in several photos in the lush liner notes.

	Figgle: Music. Stuff. For You.
		He took this opportunity to make yet another idiosyncratic career turn, assembling a gypsy caravan medicine show of musicians, poets and hangers-on into the Rolling Thunder Revue, and barnstorming venues of various sizes around the Northeast.
		Together, the Rolling Thunder Revue whipped up a musical bouillabaisse that is almost overwhelming in its joy and intensity.
		As amazing as the wall of sound Dylan creates with Rolling Thunder is, the middle section of the set, which features just Bob on guitar and harmonica, may be the true highlight.

	DYLAN, BOB - ROLLING THUNDER REVUE 3LP SLIP COVER+ 7 (140 GRAM) - CLASSIC RECORDS REGULAR WEIGHT VINYL
		On the heals of the January 1975 release of "Blood on the Tracks", Dylan decided to assemble an Old Timey Medicine Show troupe of performers and mount the now historic tour.
		called the Montezuma Revue but was changed to the Rolling Thunder Revue and includes the likes of Joan Baez who performs on "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Mama" and Roger McGuinn who performs on "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" along with Joni Mitchell and Ramblin' Jack Elliott
		It is one of the most insane packages we've ever put together and is a must have for any serious music fan.

		In contrast to its predecessor, this set, culled from four appearances made in November and December of '75, captures the breadth and subtleties of Dylan's Rolling Thunder performances.
		Those who experienced The Rolling Thunder Revue in person are still talking about it today, and now the rest of us can see why this tour is one of such historic importance.
		This finally sets the record straight...Rolling Thunder was as good as the hype, at least in the fall of '75.

		The never-ending tour continues to roll on unabated with the sixty something Dylan at the helm.
		But it's unlikely the will and intensity that filled the clubs, gymnasiums and small halls in 1975 with Dylan and the Rolling Thunder Revue will ever be replicated.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Volume 5 of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series, 11-26-02
		The Revue coincided with the release of Desire, an album whose cinematic scope was in deliberate contrast to the highly personal, painfully honest Blood on the Tracks.
		On Rolling Thunder Revue, the stage is crammed with musicians, but they've been playing together along the Northeast coast, and they're tight.
		Guitarist Mick Ronson, who recorded with David Bowie for several years preceding the Rolling Thunder Revue, is an excellent addition to the band, adding supple slide work on "The Water is Wide" and "Mama You Been on my Mind." And Baez is luminous.

	Dylan 1975 is another gem
		Upon finding out about the fifth installment in Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series, Live 1975, a two-disc collection of concert recordings from his infamous Rolling Thunder Revue, I was initially excited about the prospect of new Dylan material being released.
		During the Rolling Thunder Revue, Dylan was more dramatic than ever, wearing white face paint on stage.
		Of course, the theatricality might be a result of his knowledge of the video cameras rolling.

		But many Dylan connoisseurs stake a claim for the era of the Rolling Thunder Revue, the freewheeling musical circus he convened in 1975, hoping to avenge rock’s pre-punk bland-out and restore some of its lost mystery.
		Dylan used the Revue to showcase new material from that album, which was still a few weeks from release.
		This is Dylan’s eighth live album, but it will cement Rolling Thunder’s place in his legend: All told, only the drooled-over Live 1966 is better.

		Prior to the appearance of this two-disc (plus bonus DVD) collection, Rolling Thunder's eclectic road show was chronicled only in the infrequently screened, Dylan-directed Renaldo and Clara film and the bafflingly brief and one-note 1976 live set, Hard Rain.
		The Rolling Thunder Revue had the stage filled with musicians all adding to the power of Dylan's lyrics.
		Unlike the other bootleg series, volume 5 is a collection of exerts from Dylan's Rolling Thunder tour in 1975, rather than a continuous recording from a single concert.

		Apart from that, there's very little to complain about on this superlative set, which offers the first official release of Rolling Thunder material.
		Yes, this had been heavily bootlegged over the decades, plus it was documented on Dylan's notoriously unwatchable film Renaldo & Clara and there was Hard Rain, a collection culled from the post-Thunder 1976 tour that was similar but sour and nowhere near as good the 1975 material, as this superb set illustrates.
		In fact, there's not a bad moment here, and if it doesn't replicate the Rolling Thunder tour list to the letter, it does indeed capture the essence of this legendary stint, which is why it's necessary for every serious fan.

	Bob Dylan 760428 review
		Following is a review from the Pensacola News Journal of Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review which played Pensacola 28 April 1976.
		Sharing the spotlight and melding their talents in rolling Thunder Revue are an accomplished band of performers, among them longtime Dylan confidant, folk singer-quick quip artist "Guam" Newwirth; "Texas Jewboys" leader Friedman; Gypsy-style violinist Scarlet Rivera; and Memphis folk stylist Donna Wice.
		The crowd, primarily young and wearing everything from a low-cut lace caftan and fresh rosebuds entwined in coronet-braided hair to faded overalls and a red-checked gingham shirt, was formally dressed compared to the casual style of the musicians' garb.

		The initial three-CD issue of Columbia's "Bootleg Series" was savagely criticized by many fans, and prompted Scorpio to issue "The Genuine Bootleg Series," a trio of three-disc sets that are consistently more enjoyable and comprehensive than their legit cousin.
		If there is no underground rejoinder to this latest "Bootleg Series" release, that's only because the Rolling Thunder Revue has already been extensively documented by such gold-standard bootlegs as "Cowboy Angel Blues" (Q), "Mapleleaf Gardens 1975" (Heartbreakers), "A Dark Night on the Spanish Stairs" (Rattlesnake) and "Knight of the Hurricane" (Razor's Edge).
		Dylan tried to revive the Rolling Thunder spirit in 1976, but the tour quickly turned rancorous as his tottering marriage finally collapsed.
