Bob Dylan and The Band: Chicago Stadium; January 3, 1974
From Wikipedia: The Bob Dylan and The Band 1974 Tour – often referred to as Tour '74 – was a two-month concert tour in early 1974 that featured Bob Dylan, in his first real tour in eight years, performing with The Band, who as The Hawks had once been his little-known backing band. It was the first time he returned to the road since his exhaustive 1966 world tour between the releases of Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde.
The first show took place at Chicago Stadium in Chicago, Illinois, and it was witnessed by a capacity audience of 18,500. The first song performed was "Hero Blues", a previously unreleased song that Dylan recorded back in 1962. Over the course of two hours, Dylan and The Band performed alternating sets broken down into three categories: Dylan performing his own songs backed by The Band, Dylan's solo acoustic performances, and The Band's performances of their own songs. Although Dylan played harmonica during a cover of Bobby "Blue" Bland's "Share Your Love with Me" sung by Richard Manuel, The Band elected not to include Dylan in their subsequent group performances in a meeting after the show.

1 Hero Blues
