While Dylan and the Band had recorded the studio album "Planet Waves" prior to the tour, few of its songs were incorporated into the tour's setlist, and none are represented on "Before the Flood". After the double album release, Dylan signed a new contract with Columbia Records in time for his next studio album, "Blood on the Tracks", after returning label president Goddard Lieberson made a determined campaign to get Dylan back from Asylum. The Band continued to record on their own for Capitol Records.
