On Nov. 4, Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings will release Bob Dylan's "The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11." The six-disc set includes all "salvageable" recordings of Dylan's 1967 sessions in upstate New York with the musicians who would go on to gain fame as The Band.

Additionally, Dylan will hit the road on a U.S. tour this fall, which includes a performance at Denver's Bellco Theatre on Nov. 1, just days before the release of the new rarities collection.

Acclaimed director Martin Scorsese is reportedly working on a feature length dramatization of the Ramones story. The biopic may see a 2016 release, though the punk band's estate manager Jeff Jampol offered few details on the film.

On Tuesday, British songwriter Kate Bush performed live for the first time since a brief tour in 1979. The three-hour show at London's Hammersmith Apollo contained a blend of music and performance art. Reports from Rolling Stone and The Guardian recounting puppetry, fish costumed dancers, and ecstatic applause from the audience that often lasted over five minutes, in addition to a career-spanning setlist.
