Jeg husker så tydeligt den dag, hvor jeg købte Bob Dylans dobbelt-album – live-album! – fra hans optræden på det japanske Budokan. det var i 1978, pladen havde fået fine foromtaler og herhjemme gik man meget op i, at vores lokale amerikaner (og manhattenianer) Billy Cross var med på guitar. Og det var da også et fantastisk album med forgrundsfiguren i fineste form, velkendte sange og en fornem produktion.
Og nu kan man man så fra hestens egen mund (www.bobdylan.com) erfare at den fulde udgave – The Complete Budokan 1978 – udkommer til november (17/11). Deluxe-udgaven omfatter to fulde shows med ialt 58 numre, hvoraf de 26 har været ude før. Om alle herligheder kan man så læse på mandens side. Skal – skal ikke!?
