In March 1975, 60,000 people packed San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium to hear Bob Dylan and Neil Young perform a memorable mash-up of two of their biggest songs.
But why these two rock icons came together at the SNACK Benefit Concert was the more prosaic matter of budget cuts. 🧵

Fantastic - Dylan autographed the poster by crossing out the names of the publications below the pull-out quotes so it's like it's him talking about himself.
Also added "is a drag" after Columbia Records.

This was the first Dylan album I knew about in advance, and I was so disappointed it would have no originals!
And then he followed up with another all-covers album!
I had to wait until 1997 for originals but it was well worth the wait.
Both cover albums are of course magnificent!

My most basic Bob Dylan opinion is that Blood on the Tracks is his best album.
It’d be much more fun to argue for Street Legal or Modern Times or something more unusual. But come on. Blood on the Tracks has never been topped - by him or by anyone else.

I am with those who name Blood On The Tracks as Dylan's finest album. "You're a Big Girl Now" is distilled heartbreak. "Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" is amazingly cinematic. It should be a movie. Seriously.

Blood on the Tracks was released on this day 51 years ago. I revisited it eight months ago...
“It took me ten years to live and two years to write” is how Bob Dylan once described Tangled Up in Blue.
The song not only opens the masterpiece that is his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks, it’s key to unlocking the whole record. 🧵
