DEEP: The complete Applied Materials arena gig presented in crisp, clear and upfront quality. A fine recording, with distinct instrumentation and separation, excellent balance and Bob's vocals riding nicely in front of it all. Very energetic and inspired performance, with strong and charismatic vocals by Bob. The band senses the energy and provides strong, muscular backing, to boot. They all sound like they are having a ball, which makes for some great listening. The bonus tracks were thoughtfully selected, a notch below the San Jose quality-wise but still very good. Highly recommended.

CDG: Massive high quality live retrospective compilation; almost every period is covered (with a few inevitable individual gaps). Excellent quality, selection and performances.

Heylin: A frustrating mixture of the quintessential and the humdrum, in packaging that shames the official Bootleg Series 1- 3.

rmd: Sound quality for the "Folksinger's Choice" tracks is inferior to that on the original

YOU FIGURE IT OUT

Hawk 073 [T-492]

Jones Beach (Wantagh, NY); June 30, 1988 (line)

Tracklist: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, You're A Big Girl Now, Tangled Up In Blue, Masters Of War, I Shall Be Released, Memphis Blues Again, Lakes Of Pontchartrain, Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Eileen Aroon, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Silvio, Gates Of Eden, Like A Rolling Stone, Times They Are A- Changin', All Along The Watchtower, Maggie's Farm

DEEP: The instruments are really clear and bright, just EQ the bass down a little and it's really excellent. Warm and natural sounding. Clear as fine crystal, and Bob's vocals are so sharp, so detailed he could teach a course in vocal expression. Better performance than Radio City or Lake Compounce, too.
