Chicago Stadium
This was the only time that Dylan played during The Band's set.
Live debuts of Tough Mama, All Along The Watchtower, Nobody 'Cept You, Forever Young, Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine), and Something There Is About You.
This was the opening date after a tour absence of 8 years. The show opens with 3 Dylan songs, then some Band numbers. The catch here is that this is the only concert where Dylan plays the Band songs WITH the Band. After this show, he would take a break while they did their original material, playing with them only on his songs.
There are other highlights as well: Hero Blues (first of only two live performances ever!) and the first-ever "All Along the Watchtower." Amazing that it took until 1974, seven years after "John Wesley Harding," before Dylan performed one of his most famous songs live. And, of course, it's very much like the Hendrix-ized "Before the Flood"-- not quite as cheesy as that version, thankfully. (I find it hilarious that Bob is quoted in the Biograph liner notes as saying, "Ever since [Hendrix] died, I been doing it [his] way" (not a direct quote) Hilarious, of course, because Dylan never played it BUT the Hendrix way!
