Today, Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, have shared “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY - January 30, 1974) from Bob Dylan and The Band.

A reminder that this is the final advance track from The 1974 Live Recordings - a collection featuring every professionally recorded show from Bob Dylan’s 1974 arena tour with The Band (at the time, his first tour in eight years) - which is out soon on September 20.

Of the 431 recordings, 417 have never been heard before - showcasing many of the tour's wildly reinvented rarities not included on the original '74 live album Before The Flood. The collection will be available as a deluxe box set across 27 CDs, and includes 133 recordings newly mixed from 16-track tape, and every single surviving soundboard recording – along with new liner notes by journalist and critic Elizabeth Nelson.
