Ready for release on November 6, the audio fully captures the tour alongside a stellar company of backing musicians and guest artists.

The trek kicked off on April 18, 1976 in Lakeland, Florida, and spanned 27 dates – concluding in Salt Lake City on May 25 that year.

This is the first time that they have become available for fans to listen to since the shows.

In the release, there is a 3LP set of the complete May 16 Fort Worth show, remixed from the original multi-track tapes, and you can listen to Dylan’s rendition of ‘Going, Going, Gone’ from that show now.

Across the tour, Dylan reunited with Joan Baez to perform a moving set of duets across many dates, including performances of ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ and ‘Railroad Boy’.

Other members of the band that joined him for that tour included bassist Rob Stoner, violinist Scarlet Rivera, drummer Howie Wyeth, and guitarists Mick Ronson (of David Bowie’s Spiders from Mars), Steven Soles, David Mansfield and T Bone Burnett.

The 39 CD Deluxe set includes 381 tracks – 371 of which have never been released up until now – as well as a booklet with liner notes by Mikal Gilmore and rare photographs.

The 3LP complete Fort Worth show includes 22 tracks, check out the tracklist for that below.
