Bob Dylan: Daddy Rolling Stone
Double bootleg LP from 1969 or 1970, containing miscellaneous Bob Dylan stuff, with The Band present on LP 2. The title is Daddy Rolling Stone and the cover provides no other information than the song titles.LP 1 contains purely acoustic guitar songs, taken from various Dylan gigs. On LP 2 there are mostly basement songs, probably the ones available on The Genuine Basement Tapes. Sound quality is poor, of course, but most versions are (almost) similar to the highly dressed-up ones on the official 1975 release, with the obvious exceptions of "I Shall Be Released" (with Richard's falsetto in the chorus) and "Minstrel Boy" (chorus loudly sung by the whole Band including Levon and Rick).
"Minstrel Boy," "Wild Mountain Thyme" and "To Ramona" are probably from the Isle of Wight concert in 1969 in which Dylan appeared with the Band. Dylan played all those songs ("Minstral Boy" was only written in '69 and debuted there -- later appearing on Self Portrait. Dylan never played "Wild Mountain Thyme" again until the Neverending Tour began in '89.
