Album Notes
Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Helena Springs, Jo Ann Harris, Debi Dye (vocals); Steven Soles (acoustic guitar, vocals); Billy Cross (guitar); David Mansfield (pedal steel, violin, mandolin, guitar, dobro); Steve Douglas (saxophone, flute, recorder); Alan Pasqua (keyboards); Rob Stoner (bass, vocals); Ian Wallace (drums); Bobbye Hall (percussion).Engineers: Tom Suzuki, Teppei Kasai, Tetsuro Tomita, G.H. Sukegawa.Recorded at Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan on February 28 and March 1, 1978. Includes liner notes by Bob Dylan.This live double album, recorded in Tokyo in 1978, is practically a best-of in disguise. Dylan focuses on the older material in his repertoire, reaching back to the '60s for such tunes as "Blowin' In The Wind," "All I Really Want To Do" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'." Wisely, he also includes a couple of songs from his finest '70s album, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS. These tunes, "Shelter From The Storm" and "Simple Twist of Fate," differ radically from the original recorded versions, as has always been Dylan's wont in a performance situation. One thing that differentiates BUDOKAN from Dylan's other live albums, is the approach toward arrangements. Both earlier and later concert recordings present Dylan as the leader of a ragtag gang that blazes its way through the tunes in a spontaneous manner. Here, backed by studio vets like Ian Wallace, Alan Pasqua and Steven Soles as well as a three-woman choir, Dylan takes a much more thought-out, even "professional-sounding" approach, to the extent that this could almost pass for a studio re-recording of some of his finest compositions.

Another brilliant item from Bob's back catalogue, As is often the case with Dylan the tracks done live are completly changed from the studio version, Dylan sometimes leaves out whole verses for solo instrumentals, some times changes his lyrics. He never disapoints, even 30 years after recording still evoking powerful emotions. If you love Dylan you got to have this album Steve

  Amazing music. Dylan as you have never heard him before
Review created: 04/08/08

If you are a newcomer to Dylan this is the CD for you. All his old clasics presented in an entirely different way. This is going to be my 'most player' CD in the future - and I need only three more CD's to complete my collection!! The man is a genius.

  BOB DYLAN AT THE BUDOKAN;
Review created: 26/06/08

BOB WAS IN THE DIVORCE COURTS WHEN REHERSALS WER BEING PUT TOGETHETHER FOR THESE FAR EAST WARM UP GIGS, THE ARANGEMENTS WER LEFT TO IF MEMORY SERVES
STEVEN STOLES AND A GREAT JOB HE MADE OF IT IN BOBS ABSENCE.
WEEKS OF REHERSAL WONDERING WILL WE GET PAID,
BOB SHOWS UP AMAZED AT THE AUDIENCES POLITE RESPONSE,LISTENING TO EVERY SONG
IN SILENCE ONLY APLUADING AT THE END OF EACH NUMBER;
NEW THINGS WER TRIED SOME UP TEMPO REGAE VERSIONS OF OLD NUMBERS ALA BOB MARLEY,
THEN FROM NOWHERE BOB PULLS OUT AN UNTRIED VERSION OF I WANT YOU;
NO WHERE ELSE WOULD THIS SONG HAVE SUCH FEELING.
NEVER AGAIN WOULD A LIVE ALBUM HAVE THIS ATMOSPHERE
INTENDED FOR THE FAR EAST ONLY THIS ALBUM SOON BECAME AVAILIBLE ON IMPORT
IN THE UK WITH A PRICE TAG THAT WOULD STILL SEEM EXPENSIVE TO-DAY.
SOME CRITICS CALLED THIS THE VEGAS ALBUM,
BOB SAID PEOPLE DONT GET HIS ALBUMS UNTIL THERE OVER TEN YEARS OLD
THIS IS 30 YEARS OLD NOW
THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN BIG BAND ARANGEMENT ,
WE GET IT BOB ,
THIS ALBUM COULD NOT HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN 1978 PUNK/DISCO ENGLAND,OR AOR
VHF ,USA . THIS WAS BIG IN JAPAN ,THE TIMES THEY WER A CHANGING.
