Finding
Dylan bootlegs
is easy, but knowing which ones to pass up isn't. The low-key
Bob's
Boots site (Bobsboots.com) has documented more than 1,500 albums, with
accompanying commentary on sound quality as well as a review of the
performance
itself. And the CD section has a search engine that lets you sort
recordings by concert venue or date, so you can track down that show
you
saw at the Gaslight Café back in '61. And while you can't
buy bootlegs on the site (it's illegal), you can hookup with traders
who
might be willing to send you a copy. Few artists are as enigmatic
as Robert Allen Zimmerman, and fewer still have bodies of work that are
as well-documented. It's an irony Bob Dylan would be proud of -
assuming
he ever logs on to find out about it. |
