Bob Dylan & Band ORIG OZ 2LP Before the flood NM ’74 Asylum AB201 Folk Rock Bob Dylan & The Band Before the flood

Original OZ 2LP released in 1974 on Asylum Records. Cat: AB201. This album has a gatefold sleeve. 

Bob Dylan and the Band both needed the celebrated reunion tour of 1974, since Dylan's fortunes had been floundering since Self Portrait and the Band stumbled with 1971's Cahoots. The tour, with its attendant publicity, definitely returned both artists to center stage, and it definitely succeeded, breaking box office records and earning great reviews. Before the Flood, a double-album souvenir of the tour, suggests that these were generally dynamic shows, but not because they were reveling in the past, but because Dylan was fighting the nostalgia of his audience nostalgia, it must be noted, that was promoted as the very reason behind these shows. Yet that's what gives this music such kick Dylan reworks, rearranges, reinterprets these songs in ways that are still disarming, years after its initial release..
