NOTE: To be avoided, at least as a commercial artifact. Marketed by its manufacturer as the worst performance of Dylan's career; whatever the musical merits, the manufacturer's flagrant disrespect for the artist should not be rewarded. Adding injury to insult, the final two tracks (backed by the Dead) are mastered at the wrong speed.

THE N.E.T. IN FRANCE - VOL 1 (PARIS)

Lucky 007/008 [T-617]

(1) Le Zenith (Paris, France); June 30, 1998
(2) Le Zenith (Paris, France); February 23, 1993

Tracklist: (1) Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, Lay Lady Lay, Cold Irons Bound, To Make You Feel My Love, Silvio, The Times They Are A- Changin', Masters Of War, Desolation Row, Mama You Been On My Mind, Happy Birthday, Tangled Up In Blue, My Back Pages, Highway 61 Revisited, Love Sick, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Blowin' In The Wind
(2) Tomorrow Night, Jim Jones, Mr. Tambourine Man, Don't Think Twice

DEEP: A fantastic show presented in very good quality, albeit it's not as sharp as the best. The sound seems close-up, more like a club show than an arena gig. The combo of the intimate feel, the terrific performance and the 6-song acoustic set makes for a great listen; the acoustic set is a wild ride. Not a Hall of Famer but no slouch, either.



THE N.E.T. IN FRANCE - VOL 2 (DIJON)

Lucky 009/010 [T-618]

(1) Forum (Dijon, France); July 1, 1998
(2) Ibarapuera Sporting Complex (Rio De Janiero, Brazil); April 11, 1998

Tracklist: (1) Seeing The Real You At Last, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Cold Irons Bound, You're A Big Girl Now, Silvio, Mr. Tambourine Man, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Mama You Been On My Mind, Tangled Up In Blue, Forever Young, Memphis Blues Again, I & I, Highway 61 Revisited, Don't Think Twice, Love Sick, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Blowin' In The Wind
(2) Like A Rolling Stone (w/Rolling Stones)

DEEP: Once again, the sound is loud and strong, separated nicely from the music but retaining a somewhat murky quality that detracts from the overall enjoyment just a tad. A disk that deserves more than a cursory listen as there are many hidden pleasures throughout. The sound takes a step up on the 5-song acoustic set. The filler track, with the Stones in Brazil, should be excised; it's pretty horrendous. A good listen overall, not up to the standards of previous delights but a reliable utility vehicle when those are played out. Nice color package design with vintage pics, like the Paris package.

THE NEVER ENDING TOUR

Deep MIK 012/013 [T-203]

(1) Midtfyns Festival (Ringe, Denmark); June 29, 1991
(2) Hearts Of Fire studio sessions

Tracklist: (1) Lay Lady Lay, All Along The Watchtower, Shelter From The Storm, Gotta Serve Somebody, Wiggle Wiggle, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Positively Fourth Street, Barbara Allen, Bob Dylan's Dream, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, It Ain't Me Babe, Man In The Long Black Coat, Everything Is Broken, Lenny Bruce, Highway 61 Revisited, What Good Am I, Ballad Of A Thin Man
(2) The Usual, The Usual, The Usual, Ride This Train, Had A Dream About You Baby, Had A Dream About You Baby, Had A Dream About You Baby, Had A Dream About You Baby, Had A Dream About You Baby, Old Five And Dimer Like Me, Old Five And Dimer Like Me, Old Five And Dimer Like Me, Had A Dream About You Baby, Had A Dream About You Baby, To Fall In Love With You

NOTE: This set appears to be a pointless compilation of "Midfyn" and an as yet unidentified CD covering the Hearts Of Fire sessions.



THE NEVER ENDING TOUR FEATURING LIZ SIOUSSI

Take It Or Leave It 9417/18 [T-380]

Muziek Centrum (Eindhoven, Netherlands); February 17, 1993

Tracklist: Folsom Prison Blues, The Man In Me, All Along The Watchtower, Tangled Up In Blue, Watching The River Flow, Memphis Blues Again, Silvio, Tomorrow Night, Jim Jones, Gates Of Eden, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Cat's In The Well, I And I, Times They Are A-Changin', Highway 61 Revisited, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Everything Is Broken, It Ain't Me Babe

rmd: Probably a good concert (if you were there), but the sound here is so bad that only the drums come through clearly during the electric sets. It's a bit better when the acoustic guitars come out, but still quite unsatisfying.

NEVER ENDING TOUR REHEARSALS

Moonlight 9623/24 [T-022]

Power Station rehearsals (New York, NY); May 1989

Tracklist: Unidentified blues, I Shall Be Released, Making Believe, Early Morning Rain, Shot Of Love, Give My Love To Rose, Man Gave Names To All The Animals, Lonesome Whistle Blues, Both Sides Now, Too Far Gone, California Blues, Shot Of Love, Jam, Little Queen Of Spades, I'm Not Supposed To Care, Not Fade Away, Every Day, When Did You Leave Heaven, Everybody's Movin', I'll Remember You, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Peace In The Valley, Shelter From The Storm, Most Likely You Go Your Way, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Tomorrow Is A Long Time, Silvio.

:DEEP: A curious beast in that it's not a typical NET rehearsal session. The backing band has a strong country flavor to it, there's a violin and a harmonica player in there and the drumming does not sound at all like C. Parker's rock drumming but has a jauntier, country feel to it. Three of the vocals are taken by Mindy Jostyn (not Emmylou Harris as credited). Recording quality is excellent though not up to studio soundboard standards. All in all a very enjoyable disk with some fascinating moments.

CDG: Some very interesting songs, including lots of covers, in nice quality.

NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS, HERE'S BOB DYLAN

Digital Sounds MACH 08/09 [T-538]

(1) Cardiff International Arena (Cardiff, Wales); October 3, 1997
(2) Bournemouth International Centre (Bournemouth, UK); October 1, 1997
(3) Bournemouth International Centre (Bournemouth, UK); October 2, 1997

(7) Montage Mountain (Scranton, PA); August 12, 1997
(8) Catholic Eucharistic Congress (Bologna, Italy); September 27, 1997 (line)

Tracklist: (1) Absolutely Sweet Marie, I Want You, Tough Mama, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Silvio, Stone Walls And Steel Bars, Tangled Up In Blue, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Memphis Blues Again, This Wheel's On Fire, Highway 61 Revisited, Like A Rolling Stone, My Back Pages, Love Sick, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

(4) Blind Willie McTell
(5) Rank Strangers To Me
(6) Long Black Veil (7) (Sooner Or Later) One Of Us Must Know (8) Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Forever Young

DEEP: The complete Cardiff show presented in extremely good sound with upfront Bob vocals and a nice overall warmth to the recording. Arguably the best of the 4 UK shows in October. The cover graphics are well worth mentioning, mimicking the legendary and colorful cut and paste motif of the Sex Pistols debut album of the same name.

CDG: Recording quality is excellent, and the band sounds very tight. This cd has almost all of the new and rare songs of 1997. The filler is very well chosen. Highly recommended.

rmd: On the earliest versions of this set, the filler tracks are in relatively poor quality, perhaps because the set was released very shortly after the show. The problem was corrected after the initial batch of discs were pressed.

NOTE: The filler on these CDs is duplicated on the later "Love Sick."



NEW FOUND FAITH

Wanted Man WMM 058/059 [T-405]

Fox Warfield Theater (San Francisco, CA); November 1, 1979

Tracklist: Gotta Serve Somebody, I Believe In You, When You Gonna Wake Up?, When He Returns, Man Gave Names To All The Animals, Precious Angel, Slow Train, Covenant Woman, Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking, Do Right To Me Baby, Solid Rock, Saving Grace, What Can I Do For You, Saved, In The Garden, Blessed Be The Name, Pressing On

rmd: Sound quality is good enough. Probably the worst of the commonly circulating shows from this tour. It was the first night: Bob's nervous, the band is a little uncomfortable with the scene, and the audience is in shock. (DM)
Historically interesting, but hardly one of the better 1979 Warfield shows. The sound is pretty good. "Contract With The Lord"; is far superior, on performance, as well as sound. (WP)



NEW HORIZON

unidentified label 2CD [T-058]

This U2 disc features the two tracks from Dylan's guest spot with U2 in Los Angeles on April 20, 1987: I Shall Be Released, Knockin' On Heaven's Door. The principal content is the complete U2 Chicago show, April 24, 1987.

(2) My Back Pages, Simple Twist Of Fate, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Boots Of Spanish Leather, God Knows, Joey

DEEP: Dylan and band took things to a new level in a blazing show tempered by a gorgeous, emotion-wracked acoustic set. From the sound of things, Dylan was really pumped full of energy during this show. A nice set list also. One for the ages, IMO. Sound quality is excellent, up front, right there. My candidate for 1994 show of the year on CD. (Filler trax from the 20th in excellent sound, well chosen.

(3) Highlands

DEEP: It doesn't get much better than this set. Clear, upfront sound with great dynamics, both from the club and the arena. The MSG setlist was certainly unique among the Dylan/Simon shows, providing a welcome change from the usually static setlist. The Tramps set is found here in equally fine quality. Another nattily packaged set.

rmd: Excellent sound quality on both shows, excellent performances throughout.
rmd: This is very, very special. Two complete shows, both audience recordings of excellent quality, beautifully presented. Overwhelming. Overwhelming.

NO PHOTOGRAPHS PLEASE

Wanted Man WMM 051 [T-395]

National Exhibition Centre (Birmingham, UK); June 7, 1989

Tracklist: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Lonesome Town, Highway 61 Revisited, You're A Big Girl Now, John Brown, All Along The Watchtower, Barbara Allen, Girl From The North Country, Mr Tambourine Man, Silvio, I Shall Be Released, Like A Rolling Stone, Blowin' In The Wind, One Too Many Mornings, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Congratulations, Maggie's Farm

NOTE: The opening track is reportedly incomplete, and a fan variant reportedly restores the missing portion of the song from an analog recording.

NO REASON TO CRY SESSIONS

Eric In Person 012 1CD [T-051]

Not recommended. This reportedly borders on being a pirate disc. Ostensibly a collection of outtakes, featuring Dylan only on "Sign Language," but described in Clapton discographies as consisting almost entirely of released tracks, with minimally extended intros and endings.

NO TIME TO THINK

Red Sky 1009/1010 [T-402]

(1) Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA); September 9, 1993 (line)
(2) State Theatre (Sydney, Australia); April 15, 1992
(3) State Theatre (Sydney, Australia); April 14, 1992
(4) Palais Theatre (Melbourne, Australia); April 2, 1992
(5) State Theatre (Sydney, Australia); April 15, 1992
(6) State Theatre (Sydney, Australia); April 14, 1992

Tracklist: (1) Memphis Blues Again, Maggie's Farm, Shooting Star, God Knows, Gates Of Eden, Don't Think Twice, Shelter From The Storm, You're A Big Girl Now
(2) Ballad Of A Thin Man, Blowin' In The Wind
(3) New Morning (4) All Along The Watchtower, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Trail Of The Buffalo

(6) When I Paint My Masterpiece, Shelter From The Storm, Love Minus Zero, Little Moses, Desolation Row, It Ain't Me Babe, Cat's In The Well, Absolutely Sweet Marie, The Lady Of Carlisle, Times They Are A-Changin'

NOTE: Some of the Wolf Trap tracks may come from the September 8, 1993 concert. All the songs were performed on September 9, but the track order is thoroughly scrambled.

rmd: While the 1993 tracks are interesting; the 1992 tracks are amazing: harbingers of the best days of the NET. Sound quality on these audience recordings is superb.

NORTH STAGE

Crystal Cat 345 [T-477]

Woodstock Festival (Saugerties, NY); August 14, 1994 (line)

Tracklist: Jokerman, Just Like a Woman, All Along the Watchtower, It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry, Don't Think Twice, Masters Of War, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, God Knows, I Shall Be Released, Highway 61 Revisited, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, It Ain't Me Babe

DEEP: A late entry to the rather long list of Woodstock performances on CD, and the best of the lot. Complete and in excellent stereo sound with clear separation of the band and full- frontal vocals. A watershed performance that justifiably generated renewed interest and acclaim for the man of today! Exceptional packaging adds to the desirability of the disk, with a color contact sheet of great photos as the front cover; the clear disk tray allows viewing of a close-up pic of Bob signing autographs. First rate job from Crystal Cat.



NORTH WIND BLOWING

Kiss The Stone 578/79 [T-522]

Spektrum (Oslo, Norway); July 18, 1996

Tracklist: Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat, Man In The Long Black Coat, All Along The Watchtower, Positively 4th Street, Most Likely You Go Your Way, Silvio, Tangled Up In Blue, Hattie Carroll, Hollis Brown, Absolutely Sweet Marie, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Highway 61 Revisited, Girl Of The North Country, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, My Back Pages

DEEP: There is something very ordinary about this performance; it never reaches up and grabs me or seems to catch fire, but it threatens to spark several times. The sound quality, which I'd consider very good, also lacks excitement. The vocals are there, the instruments are well defined, but there is a lack of warmth and fullness -- it sounds clinical and cold.

CDG: An excellent recording of a chilling performance, with a particularly wonderful acoustic set.



NORTHERN SONGS

Dirty 13 010 [T-533]

(1) Sun Plaza Hall (Sendai, Japan); February 20, 1997
(2) International Forum (Tokyo, Japan); February 9-11, 1997

Tracklist: (1) Down In The Flood, The Man In Me, All Along The Watchtower, What Good Am I, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Silvio, Friend Of The Devil, John Brown, Don't Think Twice, Jokerman, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Everything Is Broken, Like A Rolling Stone, It Ain't Me Babe, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
(2) I Want You, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Memphis Blues Again, Watching The River Flow

DEEP: Nice quality and an excellent performance with some rarely played tunes make for good listening in my book. A nice set of good quality bonus trax also. A decent set but not essential. Packaging is quite lame.

NOT DARK YET

Waveband 01/02 [T-571]

(1) Garde Arts Center (New London, CT); January 14, 1998
(2) Madison Square Garden/The Theater (New York, NY); January 16, 1998
(3) Madison Square Garden/The Theater (New York, NY); January 18, 1998

Tracklist: (1) Absolutely Sweet Marie, Not Dark Yet, Cold Irons Bound, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Can't Wait, Silvio, Times They Are A-Changin', Love Minus Zero, Tangled Up In Blue, Million Miles, This Wheel's On Fire, 'Til I Fell In Love With You, Like A Rolling Stone, Don't Think Twice, Love Sick, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
(2) Simple Twist Of Fate, One Too Many Mornings, John Brown
(3) Desolation Row, Knockin' On Heaven's Door

DEEP: The TOOM-heavy New London show presented in exceptional quality. SIX, count 'em, 6 TOOM songs given an airing at this outing and the rest of the setlist is a killer, too. Bob and the boys are up to the task as usual - strong vocals and energetic backing on the rockers, tender and emotive on the "quieter" ones. This show is a special one, make no mistake. Well selected filler tracks from the NYC run that followed. Nice cover, too.

(4) Mr. Tambourine Man, It Ain't Me Babe
(5) Roving Gambler, My Back Pages
(6) Knockin' On Heaven's Door (w/Sheryl Crow), Highway 61 Revisited (w/Sheryl Crow)

DEEP: Another release presenting the TOOM-heavy New London, CT show and bearing the same title as its predecessor. Quality-wise, another outstanding effort and I may give the nod to this release as it is as clear and crunchy as a fresh bagel chip. The bonus tracks here will simply floor you and the quality is top notch. Great stuff!!

NOTHING BUT YOU

Red Sky 1005 [T-329]

Seashore Performing Arts Center (Old Orchard Beach, ME); July 15, 1989

Tracklist: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Nothing But You, Ballad Of Hollis Brown, You're A Big Girl Now, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Shot Of Love, Love Minus Zero, She Belongs To Me, Mr. Tambourine Man, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, Masters Of War, I Shall Be Released, Like A Rolling Stone, Two Soldiers, Blowin' In The Wind, All Along The Watchtower

rmd: While the sound quality is not up to the standard of many of the more recent audience recordings, this disc is very listenable. The audience noise is atmospheric rather than intrusive. Dylan's performance is excellent throughout, and the atmosphere of the recording really compliments the raunchy rock 'n' roll attitude of the 1989 shows.

Civic Center (Augusta, ME); November 11, 1999

Tracklist: I Am The Man Thomas, Song To Woody, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Tangled Up In Blue, Hootchie Cootchie Man, Absolutely Sweet Marie, I Shall Be Released, Everything Is Broken, Queen Jane Approximately, Highway 61 Revisited, What Good Am I?, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Don't Think Twice, Not Fade Away, Blowin' In The Wind, Silvio

rmd: There is perhaps no better bootleg available then this one. This could easily be a commercial release. (Anthony Kapolka)
The Wanted Man release "Now's The Time For Your Tears" is reportedly much better than the Swingin' Pig release "Now Ain't The Time For Your Tears."

rmd: The Wanted Man release "Now's The Time For Your Tears" sounds good to me. It is reportedly much better than the Swingin' Pig release "Now Ain't The Time For Your Tears."
