The latest chapter in Columbia / Legacy’s highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series showcases the music Bob Dylan wrote and performed during one of the most surprising, controversial, and inspired periods of his career. As the 1970s ended and the 1980s began, Dylan responded to the changing of the decades with a three album trilogy – Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980), and Shot of Love (1981) – of spirit-filled songs of praise, worship, and devotion. These songs were as deeply personal and packed with poetics as any Dylan had ever written, but the force of conviction and power of faith evident in these performances baffled segments of Dylan’s fanbase (just as Dylan’s “going electric” had alienated folk purists in 1965). The live concerts from this crucial epoch in Dylan’s history contain some of the most intensely jubilant and transcendent performances of his career.
