There's too many to mention, we'll have to make it 30 or something. I have the feeling that the quality of Bob Dylan boots, combined with the fact that he changes things between every show....makes his bootleg-career very wide-spanning and interesting.

Erik is right in his comments. Here are some that I think are essential:

Genuine Basement Tapes - vol. 1-5

The Dylan/Cash Sessions

Thin Wild Mercury Musuc

The New York Sessions - Blood On the Tracks

The Genuine Bootleg Series

The Genuine Bootleg Series Take 2

The Freewheelin' Outtakes

Highway 61 Revisited Again

That's a good list.
If we add Oh Mercy outtakes, we got his best studio bootlegs pretty well covered.
But Live boots....that's A LOT!

talk about live dylan boots and we would be here forever!

Take it from a guy with more Bob Boots than he has storage space:

1. Genuine Basement Tapes Vols. 1-5 (Basement tapes, 1967)
2. Genuine Live 1966 (8 discs, all 1966 soundboards, Australia and UK)
3. Philips Arena, Atlanta, 2 discs, Love and Theft era
4. Forever Young, Dylan and the Band reunion tour, 1974, NY, 2 discs
5. Through a Bullet of Light, Whitmark Demos, 2 discs (early 1960s outtakes)
6. Highway 61 Revisited Again (acetates of Highway 61 Revisited-diff versions)
7. Thin Wild Mercury Music--mid-60s electric outtakes
8. From Newport to the Ancient Empty Street in LA (Newport Folk Festival, 1964-1965 and Hollywood Bowl, Sept. 3, 1965, both classic soundboards, 2 discs)
9. Blood on the Tapes--Blood on the Tracks outtakes
10. North Stage-Dylan and band, 1994, Woodstock II

I can't believe no one has mentioned a show from the Rolling Thunder Review.

You simply can't go wrong with Dylan live in New Orleans 1976. SBD methinks. Great version of "Idiot Wind"

My next pick is that SBD quality disc of live stuff with the Dead from the 1984 tour "Men of Peace". Probably my favourite version of "Tangled up in Blue" with Jerry Garcia's guitar sounding like a huge yacht at the beginning. You can tell Jerry's taking that Cadillac to be parked in the best spot in the house. It's almost like being in church.

Of course, the Isle of Wight show from 1969 with the Band. I LOVE that one! I love the mellow version of "Wild Mountain Thyme" that Dylan strums easily with newfound Nashville Skyline voice.

All the boots there are good, I agree, yet I wouldn't mentioned them among the 30 best Dylan boots. I don't mean at all thet one of us is "correct", it just goes to show that there's so many, and so different, Dylan-concerts on bootleg.
(BTW, the Dead-show is from 87.)

But there's much more......

A word of advice for the Dylan sites: The overwhelming majority of DL's are with RapidShare. You'll find there's lots and lots of stuff you'll want Dylan wise, so it will be worth your while to purchase a premium account with RapidShare. Then, you can DL a number of files without the time constraint of the free DL. RapidShare is also used at a large number of other fan sites and music blogs. Believe me, once you've downloaded a half dozen or dozen shows/albums from RapidShare in one night, you'll have covered the cost of a premium account in terms of what the disks/albums cost on the open market. And, no, I don't own stock in RapidShare - I just got frustrated as can be with the time constraint thing.

could somebody help me getting the birmingham 2005 boot please? maybe post it?

thx

man i would love to do the rapid share and other torrents, but am on a mac and it is so difficult! Thats why I love this site with yousend it

take a looke at this side
