One Of The Biggest Dylan Bootlegs Ever

Sol began to get press in the greater New York area when Bob Dylan came calling. Dylan was living in the hamlet of nearby Woodstock recording what would later be called The Basement Tapes with The Band and asked the Rabbi to stop by and cut some tracks. But events went awry when the two argued for most of the session over whether the legendary folk singer should change his name back to Robert Zimmerman and do a tribute album to Rabbi Hillel. The Band's lead guitarist, Robbie Robertson was there:

"No one talked about Dylan's Jewish heritage for eight years and then Blazowitz starts convincing Bob to change his name back. He almost did it when Columbia Records mentioned legal clauses in his contract and threatened to yank Dylan's new album."

That 6 hour argument along with many Dylan/Blazowitz jams is to date the most bootlegged Dylan material of that period. It eventually became a five record set often entitled Pissed At Zimmerman.
