 This photo was taken by a (great) local photographer at the Mobile evening show on 4/29/76. |
 This one was scanned from Glen Dundas' Tangled Up In Tapes, 4th ed., attributed to the same show. |

The 1976 edition of the Rolling Thunder Revue is known to have performed two shows in Mobile that day, a matinee and an evening show. The one on the left is definitely from the evening show. (I know the photographer & have a copy of the proof sheet from a roll of film he shot.) There is a circulating tape of the evening show, but no tape is known from the afternoon performance. There is a color photograph on the back insert of the bootleg "Highway 49 Revisited" (of the Hattiesburg MS show on 5/1/76) that shows Bob wearing the same shirt & head-rag as the photo on the right above. So... Was the right-hand photo actually taken at the Mobile afternoon show or perhaps in Hattiesburg a couple of days later? Inquiring minds want to know... | |
