So...what are the best of the best? Obviously, there's the official site, Olof
Björner's tour directory and Dylanbase (for boots), but I know there are more.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen McGill
There are other good ones, but those are the two best, in my opinion.

For me, there's Expecting Rain and the Bringing It All Back Home Page, plus
the Monica's Dude site. All simply excellent. I also look at Olof's files and
Bill Pagel's tour site, but I usually get to them from Expecting Rain and
Bringing It... so that means I only have to keep two bookmarks.
-- Bob G.
Expecting Rain, the nerve center the Dylan universe on the Web. Links
to all the important sites, as well as two essential archives, the
collected tour reviews and Deep Beneath The Waves. Karl Erik
Andersen, webmaster
http://www.expecting rain.com
BobLinks, for the extensive information of tours past, present, and
future, and for the index of Dylan sites as exhaustive as a sane
person can compile. Bill Pagel, webmaster (and, I hope, soon to be
the owner of Dylan's childhood home in Minneapolis)
http://ww.execpc.com/~billp61/boblinks.html
BobDylan.com, the official site, with the wonderful sampling of live
Dylan performances from the last few years (and some older ones), its
lyrics archive, and other vital information
http://www.bobdylan.com
After that, there are four essential archives of information:
HWY61-L, the long-running, absolutely essential Dylan mailing list run
by the virtually tireless Maureen LeBlanc. Because it's a mailing
list, not a website, there's no central URL, but these are the key
entry points:
http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=hwy61-l - search engine
http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/archives/hwy61-l.html - archives/logs
http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=hwy61-l - sub/unsub
Olof Bjorner's set of chronologies, recording session accounts, and
concert information, the standard online reference virtually from the
beginning.
http://www.users.wineasy.se/olof.bjorner/
[And I also think that there's one important adjunct to the Bjorner
site, which provides a cumulative report on Dylan's touring since
1988, including a complete list of songs performed, ranked by
frequency: http://neverendingtour.tripod.com. I have no shame about
plugging my own sites when I think it's fair to mention them.]
Alan Fraser's detailed catalogs of officially released but uncollected
Dylan recordings, including his work as a sideman; of songs Dylan
wrote but never released on his own albums or singles; and of other
important if occasionally arcane aspects of the Dylan canon.
www.jana.mcmail.com/bob-rare.htm is a good starting point
The Bob Dylan CD Field Recordings Guide describes more than 2000
"unofficial" circulating recordings, far more than any of its
competitors, indexed alphabetically and by date, and provides links to
printable cover art for many bootlegs and fan discs. Other sites have
slicker graphics and more sophisticated user interfaces, but nobody
else has more (or more accurate) information.
http://www.angelfire.com/monicasdude
And two classic sites, both archiving large amounts of important
material, though not so active on a day-to-day basis as the first two
groups:
Bringing It All Back Home; John Howells, webmaster
http://www.punkhart.com/dylan
Bread Crumb Sins; Giulio Molfese, webmaster
http://www.interferenza.com/bcs
And I do hope (if not beg) that you don't include the dylantree/tape
library sites that at least one response to your post has mentioned.
If those sites are widely publicized, they're likely to be shut down
or worse.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
