Er bestaat niet één Rolling Thunder Revue. Het tweede deel van die revue, waarvan in 1976 al op Hard Rain opnames verschenen, is niet te vergelijken met het meer ongedwongen eerste deel waarbij in het najaar van 1975 bij verrassing een aantal Noord-Amerikaanse en Canadese steden werd aangedaan. In 2002 verscheen een selectie uit de vijf professioneel opgenomen optredens uit dit deel als The Bootleg Series 5. Eindelijk was officieel te horen hoe fenomenaal Dylan in dat najaar van 1975 klonk. Gewapend met vrijwel driekwart van het op dat moment nog niet verschenen Desire en met Mick Ronson in de vooral door toeval samengestelde band kondigde de Rolling Thunder Revue pas op het allerlaatste moment aan waar ze die middag en avond zouden spelen. Dit in schril contrast van Dylans tournee met The Band een jaar eerder, waarbij Dylan in grotere zalen speelde en waarvan de hysterie hoorbaar is op Before The Flood. Deze 1975 Live Recordings omvat geen selectie, maar alle vijf opgenomen concerten – helaas nog altijd alleen het Dylan-deel, niet de solo-optredens van o.a. Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Bob Neuwirth en Roger McGuinn – waardoor we kunnen horen hoe Dylan en zijn band alsmaar beter werden. Daarnaast zijn drie schijven met zelfs bij de meest fanatieke Dylan-fans hooguit deels bekende repetities toegevoegd, naast een cd met daarop nummers die slechts een enkele keer, op een bijzondere locatie of met een speciale gast (Robbie Robertson tijdens It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry in het eerste concert voor Hurricane Carter) werden gespeeld. In totaal telt deze box 148 nummers, waarvan 100 nog niet eerder uitgebracht. Voeg dat bij het fascinerende essay en de vriendelijke prijs en geen enkele Dylan-volger kan om The 1975 Live Recordings heen. Voor de vinylliefhebbers verschijnt bovendien het al lang niet meer op lp verkrijgbare vijfde deel van The Bootleg Series opnieuw op vinyl en op Netflix is de nieuwe documentaire van Martin Scorsese over de 1975-optredens te zien.
