36 Page Booklet not Scanned

3 CD The Band bootleg released in 1997, not to be confused with the official Across the Great Divide box set. This is the
third release in The Genuine Bootleg Series, for some reason sub-titled Take 4. The two first bootleg boxes, The Genuine
Bootleg Series, and The Genuine Bootleg Series, Take 2, were mainly filled with Dylan material. Take 4 only has a small
amount of Dylan content that is available elsewhere. A Take 3 CD set, all Dylan content, was released in 1999.

As usual for the Genuine Bootleg Series, this one continues the same tradition of high production values with multiple gatefold
glossy-color sleeves. It also sports inner disc sleeves (each w/color pics + tracklist) and a 36-page booklet containing full text
of the July '91 Goldmine article along with more photos and the track listings. All of the Genuine Bootleg Series have been
reissued a few times, in cardboard sleeves and jewel boxes, and The Genuine Bootleg Series Vol 4 seem to exist also under
the title Statue of Liberty.

58 tracks in all, including early Hawks material, outtakes from 1965 - 1967 The Basement Tapes and Big Pink sessions, outtakes
from The Band, Rock of Ages, and Planet Waves, various Band live recordings, bits of a 1988 Levon Helm concert, and three
demos for Jericho. A nice set with good sound quality.

See Pat Brennan's review of Crossing the Great Divide for more details about this bootleg set.

The Band outtakes, Bearsville Studios, 1969:
(Levon's book says the The Band outtakes were at The Hit Factory, and also seems to imply that maybe one
of the cuts was actually recorded in California, see pp. 194-195.)
GET UP JAKE
BABY, DON'T YOU DO IT

Woodstock, August 19, 1969:
(Woodstock was 17th of August 1969, not 19th as the bootleg says. Also of note is that the source tape changes
to a different one at 00:01:41 in middle of "Don't Ya Tell Henry.")
DON'T YA TELL HENRY

Bob Dylan & The Band, Isle Of Wight, August 31, 1969:

that is about the only difference between those two shows.)
