will be revisiting albums that came out before the magazine was founded in July 2002 and assessing its current cultural relevance. This week, upon the album’s 50th anniversary, we’re looking at Bob Dylan and the Band’s final waltz together—a 21-song behemoth of chemistry, mayhem and disinterest pulled from the final three shows of their underloved 1974 tour.and the Band had already carved out their own influential and ineradicable places in the history of modern rock and roll.
