I don't know if he's around anymore. ronnie z was known for putting together compilations around certain themes. In the present case, the theme is acoustic tunes that Dylan played during the tour with the Band in Jan. - Feb. '74. The number in parentheses that follows each tune on the setlist correlates to a date and locale (see the KEY below). I won't do any samples because every date sounds different to the ear and I don't think ronnie z was interested in creating a singular acoustic.
According to bjorner's 'Still On The Road: 1974 Tour of America' page, none of these tracks have been commercially released by Dylan. ronnie z used the sources that were available to him at the time he made the compilation (unfortunately, he did not specify sources thru LB numbers). And he used SHN, more popular then than it is now.
