Tracklist: She Belongs To Me, To Ramona, Gates of Eden, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Desolation Row, Love Minus Zero, Mr. Tambourine Man, Tombstone Blues (missing first verse), I Don't Believe You, From A Buick 6, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Maggie's Farm, It Ain't Me, Babe, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Like A Rolling Stone

WALKING WITH YOU IN MY HEAD

Waveband 03/04 [T-640]

(1) Grugahalle (Essen, Germany); June 16, 1998
(2) Stadthalle (Bremen, Germany) June 14, 1998
(3) Messehalle 7 (Leipzig, Germany); June 2, 1998

Tracklist: (1) Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, Seņor, Cold Irons Bound, Under The Red Sky, Silvio, To Ramona, Ballad Of Hollis Brown, Hattie Carroll, Tangled Up In Blue, Can't Wait, She Belongs To Me, Blind Willie McTell, 'Til I Fell In Love With You, It Ain't Me Babe, Love Sick, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Blowin' In The Wind
(2) John Brown, Girl From The North Country, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Man In The Long Black Coat
(3) You're A Big Girl Now, Shelter From The Storm

DEEP: A terrific German show presented in squeaky clean and crunchy quality, capturing a varied and energetic performance by Dylan and band, with an interesting array of rarely played tunes dotting the setlist (and well chosen filler, too).

WANTED MAN

Kiss The Stone 009 [T-214]

Lake Compounce (Bristol, CT); September 4, 1988 (line)

Tracklist: Subterranean Homesick Blues, I Don't Believe You, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Had A Dream About You Baby, Simple Twist Of Fate, Highway 61 Revisited, To Ramona, Rank Strangers To Me, Don't Think Twice, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Silvio, I Shall Be Released, Like A Rolling Stone, It Ain't Me Babe, Masters Of War, Maggie's Farm

NOTE: Although this disc is usually reported as including the complete concert, the final track has reportedly been edited to fit the performance onto a single CD. The same concert, with "To Ramona" omitted, circulates in higher quality on "Lake Compounce Festival Park." Oddly, KTS used the unedited version of the tracks as a spurious closing song for the October 19, 1988 concert on "Stuck Inside Of New York."



THE WARFIELD

Wizard 0192 2CD [T-217]

(1) Fox Warfield Theater (San Francisco, CA); May 4, 1992
(2) Fox Warfield Theater (San Francisco, CA); May 5, 1992

Tracklist: (1) Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Every Grain Of Sand, Union Sundown, Just Like A Woman, Tangled Up In Blue, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, She Belongs To Me, Love Minus Zero, Little Moses, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Desolation Row, Cat's In The Well, Idiot Wind, Times They Are A-Changin', Highway 61 Revisited, Absolutely Sweet Marie, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Blowin' In The Wind

WASHINGTON 1994

Amsterdam 729 [T-532]

(1) Warner Theater (Washington, DC); October 30, 1994
(2) Warner Theater (Washington, DC); October 31, 1994

Tracklist: (1) Jokerman, Just Like A Woman, Watchtower, Under The Red Sky, Tangled Up In Blue, Positively 4th Street, Mr Tambourine Man, Desolation Row, Don't Think Twice, God Knows, Every Grain Of Sand, Maggie's Farm, Ballad Of A Thin Man, It Ain't Me Babe
(2) The Man In Me, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Masters Of War, Highway 61 Revisited, Disease Of Conceit, Like A Rolling Stone

DEEP: What a performance!! I can't recall a show where Bob's phrasing was so varied and pronounced, so playful and yet so biting. Everything meshed that night and it comes through loud and clear on this nice Japanese set. From start to finish, an inspired performance by all, particularly Mr. Dylan, who's singing was sublime throughout!

CDG: Very nice recording with some excellent filler.

WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW

Tarantula 52795 [T-086]

Laguna Seca Daze (Monterey, CA); May 27, 1995 (line)

Tracklist: Down In The Flood, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, All Along the Watchtower, Simple Twist Of Fate, Silvio, Tombstone Blues, Mr. Tambourine Man, Masters Of War, To Ramona, Knockin' On Heaven's Door

NOTE: To be avoided. Includes only part of the concert; the entire show circulates freely in exemplary quality.



WATERBURY CONN. '75

Reference Recording BDY 009 1CDR

Palace Theater (Waterbury, CT); November 11, 1975 (line)

Tracklist:



WAY PAST MIDNIGHT

unidentified label 2D

Hallenstadion (Zurich, Switzerland); May 6, 2000

Tracklist: Roving Gambler, My Back Pages, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Love Minus Zero, Tangled Up In Blue, Delia, Country Pie, Can't Wait, Memphis Blues Again, Watching The River Flow, Not Dark Yet, Leopardskin Pillbox Hat, Love Sick, Like A Rolling Stone, Don't Think Twice, Not Fade Away, Blowin' In The Wind, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35



WAY UP ON THE AVENUE

CIB 04/05 2CD

Madison Square Garden/The Theater (New York, NY); January 16-21, 1998

This Van Morrison set includes both of the Dylan/Morrison duets from their New York City stand: "More And More" (January 18); and "Blue Suede Shoes" (January 21). These tracks are included on only one of the commonly circulating Dylan discs, "Madison Square Garden."

CDG [VM]: Average quality audience recordings, taken from multiple source tapes. A pretty good representation of an important series of concerts.



WE HAD KNOWN A LION

Vigotone 170/171 2CDR

(1)Hollywood Bowl (Los Angeles, CA); September 3, 1965
(2)Columbia Records Studio A (New York, NY); July 29, 1965 + overdub

Tracklist: (1) She Belongs To Me, To Ramona, Gates of Eden, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Desolation Row, Love Minus Zero, Mr. Tambourine Man, Tombstone Blues (missing first verse), I Don't Believe You, From A Buick 6, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Maggie's Farm, It Ain't Me, Babe, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Like A Rolling Stone
(2) Tombstone Blues (with backing vocal overdub)

rmd: This is a full concert, one week after Forest Hills, the second post-Newport concert, in pristine sound quality--far better obviously than the unlistenable Forest Hills tape, and also substantially superior to the Berkeley 12-4-65 recording. The acoustic performance here is par for the course, 1965, with a few words by Dylan between a couple of the songs. It's vintage if not truly transcendent acoustic Dylan '65 on the first disc. The second half is of greater interest. The sound on these tracks is far less raucous than Newport, less polished than Berkeley, and far more prone to Dylan singing almost operatically. Very minimal backing for most of the songs. To be honest, this is a pretty plain-sounding band, and the riffs played are borderline cheesy, especially from Kooper, on a couple of cuts. But it is not an inferior performance, just different, a telling early stage in the electrification of Bob Dylan. For that reason, well worth having... (Thad Williamson)



WEBERMAN PHONE CALLS

Reference Recording BDY-004 1D

(1) Dylan-Weberman telephone conversation (New York, NY); January 6, 1971)
(2) Dylan-Weberman telephone conversation (New York, NY); January 9, 1971)
(3) Madison Square Garden (New York, NY); August 1, 1971 (afternoon)

Tracklist: (1) edited telephone conversation
(2) edited telephone conversation
(3) Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Blowin' In The Wind, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Love Minus Zero, Just Like A Woman

NOTE: The telephone conversations are presumably the excerpts found on the suppressed Broadside/Folkways LP "Bob Dylan vs. A.J. Weberman."



A WEEK IN THE LIFE

Gold Standard RAZ 014 [T-392]

(1) Odeon (Liverpool, UK); May 14, 1966
(2) Gaumont (Sheffield, UK); May 12, 1966
(3) Odeon (Birmingham, UK); May 16, 1966
(4) Free Trade Hall (Manchester, UK); May 17, 1966

Tracklist: (1) Tell Me Mama, I Don't Believe You, Baby Let Me Follow You Down, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
(2) Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, One Too Many Mornings
(3) Ballad Of A Thin Man
(4) Tell Me Mama, I Don't Believe You, Baby Let Me Follow You Down, Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, One Too Many Mornings, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Like A Rolling Stone

rmd: Although over half the material is duplicated on the official "Live 1966, a whole disk of the tension-filled electric songs makes a compelling CD.

NOTE: This CD substantially overlaps the official release, but includes tracks from three other shows. The non-Manchester tracks match the tracks on "Play Fucking Loud," but are reportedly in better sound quality.




WEEKEND AT WOLFTRAP

Scorpio ScBo 001/2/3 [T-559]

(1) Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA); August 23, 1997 (line)
(2) Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA); August 24, 1997 (line)

Tracklist: (1) Absolutely Sweet Marie, Man In The Long Black Coat, Tough Mama, Under The Red Sky, Silvio, Stone Walls And Steel Bars, Mr. Tambourine Man, Tangled Up In Blue, Memphis Blues Again, Blind Willie McTell, Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, Like A Rolling Stone, Don't Think Twice, Alabama Getaway
(2) Absolutely Sweet Marie, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Tough Mama, You Ain't Goin' Nowhere, Silvio, Roving Gambler, Tangled Up in Blue, Cocaine Blues, Watching The River Flow, Blind Willie McTell, Highway 61 Revisited, Like A Rolling Stone, Forever Young, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

DEEP: Both shows in their entirety from the wonderful WolfTrap gigs, taken from the hearing-impaired transmission. The first show is an upgrade from the show offered on "Back At WolfTrap," with a much more rounded and balanced sound. The second show takes another step up in sound. The well balanced mix remains but the vocals are a bit more upfront and prominent on this show, which was another terrific performance. The acoustic tracks are amazing and every single pluck and strum comes through with all the nuances and subtle touches intact. Nice gatefold, glossy slipcase with cool "block" graphics house the 3 disks. These are certainly 2 keepers from the summer of '97.



WELCOME BACK

BD 001/002 [T-339]

Bunka Taiikukan (Yokohama, Japan); February 7, 1994

Tracklist: Jokerman, If You See Her Say Hello, All Along The Watchtower, Simple Twist Of Fate, Tangled Up In Blue, Under The Red Sky, Tomorrow Night, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Mr Tambourine Man, Don't Think Twice, God Knows, I And I, Maggie's Farm, What Good Am I?, It Ain't Me Babe

WESTERN ELECTRIC

Wild Wolf 1CDR

Hollywood Bowl (Los Angeles, CA); September 3, 1965 (line)

Tracklist: She Belongs To Me, To Ramona, Gates Of Eden, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Desolation Row, Love Minus Zero, Mr. Tambourine Man, I Don't Believe You, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, From A Buick 6, Maggie's Farm, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Like A Rolling Stone

DEEP: The Hollywood Bowl "board," Dylan's second electric concert. A fascinating recording with both the acoustic and (incomplete) electric sets in nowhere near top quality but stunning nonetheless. Sensational black and white cover, classy title graphics, plus rare back cover pictures and gig info, tracks, personnel. Sharp looking! An incredible acoustic set by Dylan gives way to a loose yet tentative electric performance, more of a feeling out and "searching for the groove" type gig. This one's a must. [NOTE: More complete versions of this show now circulate on tape and CD.]

WHAT WOULDN'T I DO?

ITCHCO KC58665 2CDR

San Jose Arena (San Jose, CA); November 14, 1997

(4) Don't Think Twice, Don't Think Twice, It's All Over Now Baby Blue
(5) Miami Sales Message, If You Gotta Go Go Now

NOTE: One of the two 1965 performances of "Don't Think Twice," is presumably the May 6 Newcastle line recording, and the "Baby Blue" may well be the hotel room performance from Don't Look Back.

WHILE THE ESTABLISHMENT BURNS


Not actually a discrete release, but the fourth disc from "Genuine Live 1966" which circulates separately as a CDR copy. The disc includes the circulating acoustic tracks from the May 5, 1966 Dublin performance as well as several line recordings of electric songs from other 1966 European shows. It takes its title from an LP boot on which the Dublin tracks circulated commonly in the early 1970's.



THE WHITE ALBUM

unidentified label 1CDR

Tracklist: Pretty Boy Floyd (A Vision Shared); People Get Ready (Flashback soundtrack); You Belong To Me (Natural Born Killers soundtrack); This Old Man (For Our Children; The Usual (Hearts Of Fire soundtrack); Boogie Woogie Country Girl (Doc Pomus tribute CD); Trouble In Mind (b-side); Sign Language (No Reason To Cry, w/Eric Clapton); Tweeter And The Monkey Man (Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1); If You Belonged To Me (Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3); Band Of The Hand (Band Of The Hand soundtrack); Just When I Needed You Most (Down In The Groove outtake); Couple More Years (live 1980); Old Rock And Roller (Hamburg 7/3/90); Ballad of Hollis Brown (Third Annual Farewell Reunion, w/Mike Seeger); Crash On The Levee, Mr. Tambourine Man (Prague 3/11/95); Man In The Long Black Coat (live 1993)

NOTE: A semiprofessional project claiming to be a 50-copy edition. Almost all the tracks appear to be drawn from the earlier "Hard To Find" volumes, and most are pirated from official releases.

WHITE DOVE

Dandelion 83/84 [T-647]

(1) Irving Plaza (New York, NY); December 8, 1997 (line)
(2) Prince's Trust Concert (London, UK); June 29, 1996 (line)

Tracklist: (1) Maggie's Farm, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, Cold Irons Bound, You're A Big Girl Now, Can't Wait, Silvio, Cocaine Blues, To Ramona, Tangled Up In Blue, White Dove, I And I, 'Til I Fell In Love With You, Highway 61 Revisited, Don't Think Twice, Love Sick, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
(2) Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Silvio, Positively Fourth Street, Highway 61 Revisited

DEEP: Alhough difficult to imagine, this release is a step up in sound from "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You," seemingly remastered to provide a bit more boost and fullness to the already remarkable sound. A devastating set, beautifully packaged with a 12 page cover/booklet, also boasting primo quality filler of the Hyde Park, London 1996 broadcast. An essential listening experience.



THE WHITMARK DEMOS

TUIB 2CDR

Witmark Demos 1962-1964

Tracklist: Blowin' In Tbe Wind, Long Ago Far Away, Tomorrow Is A Long Time, Ballad Of Hollis Brown, The Death Of Emmett Till, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Let Me Die In My Footsteps, Quit Your Lowdown Ways, Baby I'm In The Mood For You, Long Time Gone, Don't Think Twice, Oxford Town, Masters Of War, Walkin' Down The Line, Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues, All Over You, Bound To Lose Bound To Win, I'd Hate To Be You On That Dreadful Day, I Shall Be Free, Bob Dylan's Dream, Bob Dylan's Blues, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Girl From The North Country, Seven Curses, Hero Blues, Gypsy Lou, Whatcha Gonna Do?, Ain't Gonna Grieve, Only A Hobo, John Brown, When The Ship Comes In, The Times They Are A-Changin', Paths Of Victory, Farewell, Baby Let Me Follow You Down, Guess I'm Doing Fine, Mr Tambourine Man, Mama You Been On My Mind, I'll Keep It With Mine, Eternal Circle, Percy's Song

(1) University of Hartford (Hartford, CT); April 19, 1997
(2) Fisher Auditorium (Indiana, PA); April 22, 1997

Tracklist: (1) Not Fade Away, I Want You, All Along The Watchtower, You Ain't Goin' Nowhere, Watching The River Flow, Silvio, Roving Gambler, Masters Of War, Tangled Up In Blue, Seeing The Real You At Last, This Wheel's On Fire, Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat, I Shall Be Released, Don't Think Twice, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
(2) Wicked Messenger
(3) Friend Of The Devil, Mr. Tambourine Man, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Tombstone Blues, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Highway 61 Revisited, Forever Young

NOTE: The front cover slip for this set erroneously renders the title as "The Wicked Message."

DEEP: The first release from the wonderful Spring US shows in no way disappoints. This is truly exceptional in the quality department - crispy, crunchy sound, all upfront and in your face with nary an intrusion from the crowd, which sounds way in the back. This disk sizzles and is well worth having. The Hartford show was among the best of the Spring, with a great setlist and an energetic and focused performance. You want rarities, you got 'em. Add to this the well chosen bonus tracks - so what's not to like? 23 different tracks in all and the quality is consistent throughout the filler.

CDG: A fine release. Good quality recording and some nice filler. Perhaps not the most outstanding show of the spring '97 tour, but certainly a good one.

DEEP: Quality is very good, though not great. Some interesting trax. Not easy to find, worth getting if you can.

HQ 002 1D

Despite the packaging, this is not really a Wilbury album. The disc includes three pirated Wilbury tracks -- the extended "Handle With Care" and "End Of The Line," and the "Nobody's Child" benefit single -- as well as the instrumental "New Blue Moon"; plus three Del Shannon tracks, two instrumentals, one pirated Harrison track, one Ringo Starr track, two Tom Petty tracks, two Roy Orbison tracks, and one Jeff Lynne track.

(3) E-Hal (Groningen, Netherlands); March 18, 1995

(2) If Not For You, Positively 4th Street, Masters of War, Man In The Long Black Coat
(3) If You See Her Say Hello, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll
(4) Queen Jane Approximately, I And I

DEEP: Essentially the same set list as Brussels (3/23). All in all, disappointing. That is not to mean it is bad, just not up to the "up-front" vocal standards of most of the recent releases, and the instrumental nuances are not as evident. Filler trax are actually better. Not a thumbs down, but certainly not essential.

rmd: The worst-sounding source tape used for a 1995 CD.

WITH ONE HAND WAVING FREE VOL 2

Hard Rain [T-497]

E-Hal (Groningen, Netherlands); March 18, 1995

Tracklist: Down In The Flood, If You See Her Say Hello, All Along The Watchtower, Just Like A Woman, Tangled Up In Blue, Mr. Tambourine Man, Masters Of War, Jokerman, Love Minus Zero, Maggie's Farm, Like A Rolling Stone

DEEP: Passed on this one. As Vol 1 remains the only '95 set to reside in the "below average" category, this one stayed in the bin. It was a 1CD set of 11 trax which, when combined with 4 or so bonus trax from Vol 1, gives you the whole, uneventful show from Groningen in so-so quality.



THE WITMARK DEMOS

THE WITMARK YEARS

Capricorn 2021/2022 [T-438]

Witmark Demos (New York, NY); December 1962 - January 1964

Tracklist: Blowin' In Tbe Wind, Long Ago Far Away, Tomorrow Is A Long Time, Ballad Of Hollis Brown, The Death Of Emmett Till, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Let Me Die In My Footsteps, Quit Your Lowdown Ways, Baby I'm In The Mood For You, Long Time Gone, Don't Think Twice, Oxford Town, Masters Of War, Walkin' Down The Line, Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues, All Over You, Bound To Lose Bound To Win, I'd Hate To Be You On That Dreadful Day, I Shall Be Free, Bob Dylan's Dream, Bob Dylan's Blues, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Girl From The North Country, Seven Curses, Hero Blues, Gypsy Lou, Whatcha Gonna Do?, Ain't Gonna Grieve, Only A Hobo, John Brown, When The Ship Comes In, The Times They Are A-Changin', Paths Of Victory, Farewell, Baby Let Me Follow You Down, Guess I'm Doing Fine, Mr Tambourine Man, Mama You Been On My Mind, I'll Keep It With Mine, Eternal Circle, Percy's Song

EDLIS: Classic mono studio recordings in acceptable quality given the dates of recording. The sound here is at times marginally brighter and clearer than the sound on the other Witmark CDs.

DEEP: I concur that "The Witmark Years" is the best of the three packages. The sound is a bit brighter on this one, not to mention a better package. The front cover of the CD belongs in the bootleg cover Hall of Fame. Essential stuff, this is.

ISIS: "The Witmark Years" while generally slightly inferior on recording quality at least gets the track listing right. For the most part, though, it fell below par, and on some tracks was blatantly inferior.

rmd: "The Witmark Years" has the advantage of arranging the material chronologically. Opinions on sound quality tends to vary, even from track to track.



WOLFTRAP

Moonlight 9630 [T-061]

Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA); July 21, 1991 (line)

Tracklist: New Morning, I Don't Believe You, All Along The Watchtower, Shelter From The Storm, Gotta Serve Somebody, Wiggle Wiggle, I'll Remember You, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Barbara Allen, Mr Tambourine Man, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, It Ain't Me Babe, Folsom Prison Blues

DEEP: The complete circulating tape in considerably better quality than the previous Wolf Trap boards from 1993. The clear, upfront vocals, excellent separation and well-balanced nature of this recording makes it a real pleasure to listen to. Some exceptional performances here but also a few which Dylan hurries through like he's gotta catch a cab, not to mention the fact that I cannot recall a show with so many of his infamous flubbed lines. Still, IMO it adds to the charming nature of a show with some nice, clear vocals and good and raunchy guitar playing. Very nice color cover with tasty graphics. Very likable disk and highly recommended.

rmd: Simplistic but brilliant soundboard-recording. Great guitar-playing, almost like recent Lou Reed.
