The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Just finished Chronicles and it was fantastic. His memory is amazing and how he lets one thought lead him to another and then bring it all back together was astounding. I was especially glad to see him talk about the Oh Mercy period. Check it out if you haven't.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

There are also a couple more Bootleg series due to come out - the first one is from Self Portrait (series 10) and the record day release of Duquesne whistle was accompanied by the text "B-side is a previously unreleased version of Meet Me In The Morning from the Blood on the Tracks sessions and is a forthcoming track from The Bootleg Series Volume 11".

Dylan's voice was so great in the 1970s. I need to find more live shit...Rolling Thunder Revue is just fantastic; can listen to that thing all the way through on a roadtrip no problem.
I'm stoked about these new Bootleg Series. So far the Bootleg Series has been very 1960's heavy, which is understandable, but it leaves so much great stuff untapped. That Self Portrait-era voice is one of my favorite Dylan voices, and I know there is a wealth of outtake material yet to be released from that time.

There aren't enough days in the average life expectancy to properly explore Dylan's vast amount of works.

Plus there's the Cash Sessions (I've got a rough copy of that), the real complete basement sessions (another rough copy) and there's some amazing christian era gigs that need to be released. Paul Williams raved about one in particular which I've never heard. Plus a NET boxset would be good.

Is Self Portrait one of the albums Dylan talks about trying to suck intentionally to bring down some of the heat surrounding him?
Not much live stuff from this time? These will be mostly studio you think?

Yeah, most definitely. There were very few live shows from this era. I think the only one of note was the 1969 Isle of Wight festival, and a few of those tracks were actually released *on* "Self Portrait." I'd like to hear them in better sound quality but it's not generally regarded as his finest hour as a performer.
I think Dylan has made some comments to the effect of the above about "Self Portrait," and it definitely had the desired effect--I know a handful of old-time fans who loved Dylan through the 1960's and were scared off by "Nashville Skyline" and "Self Portrait," and didn't come back around until "Blood on the Tracks." I can definitely see how it would have been a jarring record to someone expecting "Blonde on Blonde," but with the benefit of hindsight I think it's a wonderful record with some great vocal performances. I'm happy he made it.
I can't find his cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain," which is probably my favorite track on the album.
