Rocks This Joint 1974

*All tracks sourced from LK 1974 PA TAPES UPGRADE DVD & LK 1974 6 DVD Set)
I mean absolutely no disrespect toward Les Kokay and I really hope no offense is taken.

So there is no confusion or misunderstanding I did add fade ins and fade outs where necessary to make the transition from one track to the next as smooth as possible. Volumes were also adjusted on several tracks. Though in no way, shape or form was the integrity of the music or the original recordings harmed and I did absolutely no remastering to any of the tracks. – Charles Cicirella

To read what Bob says in interviews about 1974 it was just an exercise.. of endurance? of tolerance? or for that matter intolerance (on his part not the audiences). Maybe it was the one and only time Bob did what he believed the audience wanted or maybe just maybe he was having one hell of a good time and would rather not relive or admit it
to anyone including himself. 1974 is one of those years that I have had a difficult time getting into which only means that once I do find myself digging it I’ll never quite shake it or understand how it has taken me so damn long to get turned on. There’s such an immediacy about these performances and what is so strange and perhaps even surreal is that only 8 years earlier Bob and The Band were quite literally carpet bombing the world with music that could not exist today – too dangerous – too loud and unrelenting as it quite literally blew the doors off of everything that came before or since. It’s now 1974 and Bob has been away or has he? Maybe we’re the ones that have been hiding – who couldn’t or wouldn’t face the world because we have grown too accustomed to creature comforts and creative quagmires… It’s 1974 and here comes The Basement Tapes all over again except they’ve been turned on their heads – almost as if the music is
somehow forcing us to peer out of the mirror instead of in. It’s root music that has met its maker and decided sticking around would only raise eyebrows and elicit questions that are never worth answering especially when in mixed and miserable company. The solo performances carnal portraits of someone we stupidly believed we knew or understood when in fact nothing could be further from the truth as this lover – this ghost – this third man keeps keeping onmcreating and destroying the world with the medicine he was born to shoot straight into our vapid blue veins.
