Back in July, I visited Tulsa to attend the World of Bob Dylan conference. While in town, I did a couple other things too. I visited the Archives and listened to some never-heard 1960s concert tapes. I interviewed a bunch of musicians at the Dylan Center’s “Going Electric” concert. And one thing I haven’t written about yet. I watched footage even the Archives won’t show you: The Supper Club tapes.

When I interviewed one of the archivists at the Bob Dylan Center’s opening in 2022, he told me the Supper Club footage was off-limits even to accredited researchers who can get access to almost everything else:

I think we all have recordings of the Supper Club Tapes (ROIOs) and I personally have several differently sourced versions but it is always worth a listen and is a favourite quality ROIO and this article from Ray is really worth a read
