I'm definitely looking forward to this release. The gospel years certainly deserve the same look under the microscope as the other eras. Knowing that we have live cuts aplenty certainly makes it worthwhile, and of course seeing all too well the sad fact that during the period from Street-Legal through Oh Mercy, Dylan was his own worst judge, as so many great songs were left off albums, and other songs ended up neutered and bastardized.
Obviously, I am slightly disappointed that this release didn't cover the Blood On The Tracks/Desire period, which I'm sure we all hoped would be the case. But at least we know they're clearly going to get around to it. I'm sure it will nice to have not only the New York versions officially released, but also the Phil Ramone demos that have never surfaced, the Desire sessions, and further coverage of both Rolling Thunder Revue legs, including the full shows recorded for the Hard Rain album.
Afterwards, I hope to see box sets dedicated to Planet Waves and Tour '74, Street-Legal and the "Alimony Tour", the Infidels through Down In The Groove sessions (including officially releasing the Hearts Of Fire sessions and masters, if not necessarily the film itself), the '84 through Temples In Flames tours (though paperwork with the Grateful Dead would have to be worked out again), the sessions from Love and Theft through today, and a box set wholly devoted to the Never Ending Tour, including an official release of shows like Woodstock '94, the Supper Club, the full MTV Unplugged sessions, the 1997 Wolf trap show, the tour with Paul Simon, and Desert Trip.

Wow--how would that even work? We're talking a couple of decades, right? I wonder if there would be a way to arrange it in any other way than chronologically? Thematically, maybe? Venue-centric? It would be a daunting task to truly plumb the depths of something that Bob is still actively involved in.
Interesting idea!
BTW, to all those celebrating/observing: L'shanah tova!

Damn this is ugly! I've seen boots that look better than this... Bob doesn't look possessed by his faith he looks like a bum that found his way onstage
