On June 7, a new boxset consisting of live cuts from Bob Dylan’s iconic Rolling Thunder Revue tour will be released just days before its sister documentary: Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story premieres on June 12 on Netflix and in select theaters.
The Rolling Thunder Revue ran from 1975-1976, with Joan Baez, Patti Smith, Ringo Starr and Joni Mitchell being just a few musicians who joined Dylan on different dates of the tour. The corresponding documentary will include a rare interview with Dylan as well as video from the shows themselves.
The boxset consists of 148 tracks across 14 CDs, making up five full professionally recorded Dylan sets throughout the tour’s span. No tracklist has been announced yet, however the set will also include a number of Dylan’s tour rehearsal tapes captured New York’s S.I.R. Studios.
Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story will mark Scorsese’s second Dylan-themed documentary, following No Direction Home released in 2005.
