Bob Dylan, the iconic singer-songwriter known for constantly reinventing his sound, is about to treat fans to an unprecedented treasure trove of music. On November 9, a massive 39-disc box set titled The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings will hit shelves, featuring a staggering 371 previously unreleased tracks. That's right—371 songs that have never been heard by the public, captured during Dylan's legendary 1976 tour.
The box set includes 381 total tracks, with 10 of them having been released before. Along with the music, the package comes with liner notes from veteran Rolling Stone writer Mikal Gilmore, adding context and insight into this pivotal era of Dylan's career. To give fans a taste of what's to come, a live rendition of the Planet Waves deep cut "Going, Going, Gone," recorded at a Fort Worth, Texas stop on the tour, has already been released as a preview.
This announcement comes on the heels of a major Dylan resurgence, thanks to the 2024 biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet. The film, which earned Chalamet an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Dylan, grossed over $140 million worldwide and became one of the most-watched movies of 2025 on Hulu. The renewed interest in Dylan's legacy makes this box set all the more timely.
For those unfamiliar with Dylan's vast catalog, his most iconic songs include "Like a Rolling Stone," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and "The Times They Are a-Changin'." Other classics like "Tangled Up in Blue," "Mr. Tambourine Man," and "All Along the Watchtower" have cemented his status as one of the most influential musicians of all time. With 10 Grammy wins and a lifetime achievement award, Dylan's impact on music is immeasurable.
The 1976 Rolling Thunder Revue tour was a unique chapter in Dylan's career, known for its intimate, theatrical performances and a rotating cast of musicians. This box set captures that magic in stunning detail, offering fans a chance to experience the tour as if they were there. Whether you're a die-hard Dylan devotee or a newcomer curious about his legendary live shows, this collection promises to be a must-have.
As the release date approaches, anticipation is building. The box set is available for pre-order on Amazon, and fans can stream the preview of "Going, Going, Gone" right now.
