5                                       The Hard Rain recordings

5.1                                The Original Hard Rain TV Special

The first attempt to record the Hard Rain TV special took place at the shows in the Starlight Ballroom in the Belleview Biltmore Hotel in Clearwater, Florida, 22 April. Dylan was apparently not satisfied with the outcome and the resulting footage was shelved and has never been officially shown.
