- Ostensibly, Dylan was cutting demos for other bands to record, but clearly a lot more was going on – especially considering the amount of time devoted to covering old standards. "We were playing with absolute freedom," guitarist Robbie Robertson said. "We weren't doing anything we thought anyone else would ever hear, as long as we lived. . . . It was like the Watergate tapes. A lot of the stuff, Bob would say, 'We should destroy this.' "
I've had some old bootlegs for years but for them to release the complete set... wow. Fuck.

Ohhhh my god. Oh my god.Now that the Basement Tapes are finally being released, the Dylan camp is considering its next archival project. "We're thinking we'll revisit the 1975 era and Blood on the Tracks," says the source. "The unheard stuff from there is crazy. You can hear the first day of recordings before they put all that echo on. It's amazing."
