This is a very special upload. This was recorded on December 8, 1975, the final night of the first leg of the Rolling Thunder Revue. The next tour date was January 22, 1976.

As usual from Swingin’ Pigs’ uploads, the video and especially the audio is excellent. It is very well edited and part of his alternative Rolling Thunder film.
Just too good to not share.
“I was just sitting outside my house one day thinking about a name for this tour, when all of a sudden, I looked into the sky and I heard a boom! Then, boom, boom, boom, boom, rolling from west to east. So I figured that should be the name.”

Hallgeir, thanks for this one. I missed Bobby's great storm, I was living in Maine in the 1970's writing a book about the life of a traveling Troubadour off the 1960's which includes several episodes involving Bobby and the way it was back then. It's available on Amazon. Anyone interested in the scene that was the beginning of Bobby's career will find it to be a fun read, written by one who was there. My website is http://www.johnwinnmusic.com and it has the link to Amazon, a description of the book and a quote from Judy Collins on how much she enjoyed the book. Here's a video of "Tomorrow is a long Time" and the story of how I first heard him sing it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiPBnKph70w.
