Notes


The Genuine Bootleg Series Vol 4


All infos from this excellent website
http://theband.hiof.no/albums/crossing_the_great_divide.html

3 CD The Band bootleg released in 1997, not to be confused with the official Across the Great Divide box set. This is the third release in The Genuine Bootleg Series, for some reason sub-titled Take 4. The two first bootleg boxes, The Genuine Bootleg Series, and The Genuine Bootleg Series, Take 2, were mainly filled with Dylan material. Take 4 only has a small amount of Dylan content that is available elsewhere. A Take 3 CD set, all Dylan content, was released in 1999.

As usual for the Genuine Bootleg Series, this one continues the same tradition of high production values with multiple gatefold glossy-color sleeves. It also sports inner disc sleeves (each w/color pics + tracklist) and a 36-page booklet containing full text of the July '91 Goldmine article along with more photos and the track listings. All of the Genuine Bootleg Series have been reissued a few times, in cardboard sleeves and jewel boxes, and The Genuine Bootleg Series Vol 4 seem to exist also under the title Statue of Liberty.

58 tracks in all, including early Hawks material, outtakes from 1965 - 1967 The Basement Tapes and Big Pink sessions, outtakes from The Band, Rock of Ages, and Planet Waves, various Band live recordings, bits of a 1988 Levon Helm concert, and three demos for Jericho. A nice set with good sound quality.

See Pat Brennan's review of Crossing the Great Divide for more details about this bootleg set.

1. Katie's Been Gone
2. Ruben Remus
3. Yazoo Street Scandal II

The Band outtakes, Bearsville Studios, 1969:
(Levon's book says the The Band outtakes were at The Hit Factory, and also seems to imply that maybe one of the cuts was actually recorded in California, see pp. 194-195.)
4. Get Up Jake
5. Baby, Don't You Do It

Woodstock, August 19, 1969:
(Woodstock was 17th of August 1969, not 19th as the bootleg says. Also of note is that the source tape changes to a different one at 00:01:41 in middle of "Don't Ya Tell Henry.")

7. Tears Of Rage

Bob Dylan & The Band, Isle Of Wight, August 31, 1969:
8. Highway 61 Revisited

Hollywood Bowl October 7, 1970:
(Hollywood bowl is 10th July, not 7th October. This is a mistake from an old Italian bootleg that got the US month/day switched with their day/month syntax.)

(The Roosevelt stadium cut is probably from 31 July, the 1 August show tape does not have that song, that is about the only difference between those two shows.)
