EL GRANDE DEL ROCK AMERICANO
no label 1CD [T-474]
This compilation of tracks by various performers was released as a
premium for an issue of the Italian magazine "Class" in
1995. It includes 4 Dylan performances: three very common songs
from the Halloween 1964 concert; and a performance of "It's
All Over Now Baby Blue" attributed to the May 9, 1965 London
concert [but more likely coming from the Manchester Free Trade Hall
concert two days earlier.]

rmd: Avoid at all costs. A filthy audience recording.
rmd: Pretty neat. Although the sound is slightly harsh, it
is no worse than some other El Rey CDs. Nice package, with
pictures from Dylan's "Drawn Blank."
ELECTRIC BLACK NIGHT CRASH
Junkyard Angel 001 [T-600]
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 first glass-mastered release from the recently
surfaced Hollywood Bowl tape. If I may, the cover, a 1965 color
close-up of Dylan's head in front of a microphone, is absolutely
stunning. Quality is very good, same quality as the initial CDR
release "Western
Electric." The show provides a revealing look at Dylan at
the height of his unique powers during the acoustic set, which is
compelling and IMO a more inspired performance than the '65 UK
shows or even the '64 acoustic sets, for that matter. The electric
set is a different story. You can sense the tentative, apprehensive
nature of the performance, with the reins pulled back a bit and the
confident, headlong burst into the fire that would characterize the
'66 shows not yet in evidence. In any case, this one's a must, a
major link in understanding the chain. Nice package with the
previously mentioned cover and artwork all around.

Tracklist: (1) I Don't Believe You, Chimes of Freedom, Motorpsycho Nitemare, Mr. Tambourine Man, All I Really I Want To Do, Black Crow Blues, I Shall Be Free #10
(2) California, Denise, Bob Dylan's New Orleans Rag, East Laredo Blues, That's All Right Mama/Sally Free And Easy, Bob Dylan's New Orleans Rag, Hero Blues
(3) All I Really Want To Do
DEEP: Seven tracks from the Emmett Grogan acetates in superb stereo so clean there's little hint that acetates are the source. Bonus tracks also in excellent quality, to my knowledge best quality available. The Another Side acetates are sure to cause a stir. While these trax are the same as appear on the
official album, in a couple of cases you hear the producer asking Dylan if he's ready and perhaps a count-in. All, that is, except "Mr Tambourine Man." This version is completely different, vocally and instrumentally, than the one recorded 6 months later and released on Bringing It All Back Home. This is a major find. Unlike the upbeat, optimistic, jaunty official version, this one is much slower, more sparse, sung like BD has the "worried blues," concerned that his muse may not return. A totally different song, different phrasing, added lines, a mistaken line, different ending. And who is that singing the
choruses with Bob? [Jack Elliott] This version runs well over a minute longer than the released version, and ends without a guitar/harp solo. This one tune is more than worth the price of admission.

(6) One Too Many Mornings
(7) Positively Fourth Street (variant mix)
CDG: The meaty stuff from the Grogan Acetates, including
the earliest known recording of "Mr Tambourine Man." The
rest of the acetates are rough versions of the official tracks,
sometimes including moments edited out for the album, and an extra
verse in "All I Really Want To Do." The filler is mostly
common material.
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

(1) Empire (Liverpool, UK); June 27, 1996
(2) Empire (Liverpool, UK); June 26, 1996
(3) Adelphi Theatre (Dublin, Eire); May 5, 1966
Tracklist: (1) Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, Tonight I'll Be Staying
Here With You, All Along The Watchtower, Under The Red Sky, Just
Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Silvio, Mr. Tambourine Man, John Brown, To
Ramona, Ballad Of A Thin Man, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Seven
Days, Alabama Getaway, It Ain't Me, Babe, Rainy Day Women #12 &
35
(2) Drifter's Escape, Man In The Long Black Coat, Positively Fourth
Street, Watching the River Flow
(3) Visions Of Johanna
DEEP: Dylan hits the ground running from the get-go here;
this one rocks your socks off immediately. Quality is a bit bottom
heavy and needs some of the old EQ to balance things out. I thought
the vocals were a bit harsh on first listen but subsequent hearings
have grown on me. For a show I was not enamored of at first, this
one sure has left its mark after repeated listenings. Nice first-
time outing for the humpers from Laughing Camel. Highly
recommended.
CDG: Bass-heavy recording of a nice performance. The '96
filler is well-chosen; the '66 filler pointless (and incomplete).

Alabama Getaway, Girl From The North Country, Rainy Day Women #12
& 35
DEEP: The first CD to arise and bust out of its clothes from
the 1996 tour. I was a bit disappointed at first, but subsequent
listens have found the quality to be quite acceptable. Not up to
the standards of the best '95'ers, mind you - but enjoyable
nonetheless. The recording is quite clear, vocals crisp and
distinct and the instruments and nuances are there. Mr. Bob and
band's performance is a good one. Not bad for a start, and
recommended.
CDG: Very good quality tape of an excellent show; I was
there so I can tell ;-). It's a shame there is no filler.
ESCAPING ON THE RUN Volume 2
Moonlight 9640/41 [T-072]

Blues, Silvio, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Desolation Row, Friend
Of The Devil, Ballad Of A Thin Man, She Belongs To Me, Seven Days,
Alabama Getaway, My Back Pages, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
DEEP: A better performance on volume 2 and a more enjoyable
set list; the sound is quite similar. Wonderful performance all
around and an enjoyable listen. If you're going to get only one of
the above, I'd recommend volume 2. (One negative is the lack of
bonus trax. Nice artwork and graphics on both sets with glossy
color photos of Bob in pink silk adorning front, back and
inserts.
CDG: Very good quality tape of an excellent show; I was
there so I can tell ;-). It's a shame there is no filler.

acoustic sets during his late spring/early summer 1998 European
tour. Almost all tracks in at least very good quality; most are
excellent or nearly excellent. The selection of performances is
also first rate, and a few are exceptional.
