Good soundboard; not great, but very listenable, not harsh or compressed, just a littly blurry and hissy. Completely enjoyable, and historically essential.

Tracklist: Drifter's Escape, Man In The Long Black Coat, All Along The Watchtower, Under The Red Sky, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Silvio, Tangled Up In Blue, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Mama You Been On My Mind, Dark Eyes (w/Patti Smith), Tombstone Blues, Obviously Five Believers, Alabama Getaway, It Ain't Me Babe, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

NOTE: The title of this set is slightly misleading; it is not drawn from the fifth date of the Paradise Lost tour, but the fifth date when Dylan and Smith performed together.

FIFTH TIME AROUND

Kiss The Stone KTS 160/161 [T-263]

Hammersmith Apollo (London, UK); February 12, 1993

Tracklist: Maggie's Farm, Just Like A Woman, All Along The Watchtower, Tangled Up In Blue, I Don't Believe You, Memphis Blues Again, She Belongs To Me, Tomorrow Night, Jim Jones, Mr Tambourine Man, Don't Think Twice, Cat's In The Well, I And I. Simple Twist Of Fate, Highway 61 Revisited, What Good Am I?, Everything Is Broken, It Ain't Me Babe

CDG: A clear, crisp recording of a '93 show with a relatively standard setlist, including several beautiful performances.

rmd: This one stands out among the 1993 shows as something different and special. There is a spooky and mystical quality to it. (MR)



THE FINAL NIGHT AND MORE

Dandelion 072/073[T-641]

(1) Wembley Arena (London, UK); October 17, 1987
(2) Wembley Arena (London, UK); October 16, 1987
(3) Arena Civica (Milan, Italy); October 4, 1987
(4) POPB Bercy (Paris, France); October 7, 1987
(5) Paleur (Rome, Italy); October 3, 1987
(6) Vorst Nationaal (Brussels, Belgium); October 10, 1987
(7) Schleyerhalle (Stuttgart, West Germany); September 29, 1987
(8) Valby Hallen (Copenhagen, Denmark); September 21, 1987

Tracklist: (1) The Times They Are A-Changin, Like A Rolling Stone, Maggie's Farm, Forever Young, Dead Man Dead Man, I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine, Simple Twist Of Fate, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Watching The River Flow, Gotta Serve Somebody, Man Of Peace, I And I, Don't Think Twice, Tomorrow is A Long Time, Heart Of Mine, In The Garden, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Chimes Of Freedom (w/Roger McGuinn), Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (w/George Harrison), Go Down Moses

(3) License To Kill
(4) House Of The Rising Sun
(5) Wicked Messenger
(6) Desolation Row, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Shot Of Love
(7) Joey, John Brown
(8) When I Paint My Masterpiece

DEEP: Another striking package from the folks at Dandelion, this one a color, glossy 20 page booklet full of some terrific "Temples In Flames" pics and a long essay. Some of the pictures have to be seen to be believed and portray Bob in both flattering and unflattering terms. A wonderfully packaged set that makes all prior 1987 Eurotour CDs take a seat far in the rear to this embarassment of riches. The complete Wembley is presented in oh-so-fine sound and the filler just takes it to another level. A near-perfect overview of the latter stages of Europe '87.

rmd: An absolutely stunning set with gorgeous, professional packaging. The sound quality of the main show is simply outstanding. Sound quality on the filler varies from outstanding to just good, with nothing unpleasantly bad. The performances are occasionally uneven, but still amount to a hoard of senseless riches. (DM)
rmd: Overall, a step backward from the great 1986 shows . In comparison, these renditions are flat and halfhearted.



FINAL THEME

DIYE 66/67 1CD/1CDROM

Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid soundtrack session

Tracklist: Main Title Theme (Billy), Cantina Theme (Working For The Law), Billy Surrenders, River Theme, Billy, Cantina Theme Revisited, Billy, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Turkey Chase, Billy, Final Theme, Working For The Law, River Theme, Bunkhouse Theme, River Theme, Working For The Law (Whorehouse Theme), Final Theme, Billy

NOTE: This set, which at least borders on being a pirate project, reportedly consists of a standard audio CD plus a CD-ROM including clips from the movie, a Dylan discography, pictures, and other features. The packaging misidentifies several tracks, and not all of the listed tracks can be definitively matched to the proper titles; this corrected track listing is therefore somewhat tentative. Most tracks are instrumental. Sources for the CD-ROM are not identified. By some accounts, the audio CD circulates separately under the same title.



FINALLY LIVE AT WOODSTOCK

Meteor/Front Row FM 2108 [T-011]

Woodstock II (West Saugerties, NY); August 14, 1994

Tracklist: Jokerman, Just Like A Woman, All Along The Watchtower, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, 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

EDLIS: A decent copy of the Finjan Club tape, complete on CD. This one is strikingly better then other discs of the same material. Essential to the smallest Dylan collection.

FINJAN CLUB, MONTREAL, CANADA, 2 JULY 1962

unidentified label 1CDR

Finjan Club (Montreal, QU); July 2, 1962

Tracklist: Death Of Emmett Till, Stealin', Hiram Hubbard, Blowin' In The Wind, Rocks and Gravel, Quit Your Lowdown Ways, He Was A Friend of Mine, Let Me Die In My Footsteps, Still A Fool, Ramblin' On My Mind, Blues Yodel No. 8



FIRST NIGHT IN THE PARADISE

no label 2CDR

Tracklist: Drifter's Escape, Seņor, All Along The Watchtower, Tears Of Rage, I Don't Believe You, Silvio, Mr. Tambourine Man, Masters Of War, Mama You Been On My Mind, Dark Eyes (w/Patti Smith), Jokerman, Highway 61 Revisited, Alabama Getaway, My Back Pages, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

NOTE: The title of this set is slightly misleading; it is not drawn from the first date of the Paradise Lost tour, but the first date when Dylan and Smith performed together.

FIRST SUPPER

Wanted Man 047/048 [T-327]

(1) Supper Club (New York, NY); November 16, 1993 (1st show)
(2) Supper Club (New York, NY); November 16, 1993 (2nd show)

Tracklist: (1) Absolutely Sweet Marie, Lay Lady Lay, Blood In My Eyes, Queen Jane Approximately, Tight Connection To My Heart, Disease Of Conceit, I Want You, Ring Them Bells, My Back Pages, Forever Young
(2) Ragged And Dirty, Lay Lady Lay, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Queen Jane Approximately, Jack-A-Roe, One Too Many Mornings, I Want You, Ring Them Bells, My Back Pages, Forever Young

CDG: An excellent performances in good/very good sound before an exuberant audience that reacts to Dylan's nuances. The second set cooks.

FIRST TIME AROUND

Vigotone 187/188 2D

Sydney Stadium (Sydney, Australia); April 13 (or 16), 1966

Tracklist: She Belongs To Me, Fourth Time Around, Visions Of Johanna, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Desolation Row, Just Like A Woman, Mr. Tambourine Man, Tell Me Momma, I Don't Believe You, Baby Let Me Follow You Down, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Leopardskin Pillbox Hat, One Too Many Mornings, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Positively Fourth Street

rmd: A very nice addition to any Dylan collection. The packaging is very neat, and professionally done. The quality of the recording is superb, and of course the performances are amazing. The chatter from Dylan in between songs was very cool too.

NOTE: My indication here that the date of this recording is not settled is something of a minor heresy. The recording does not match Craig McGregor's relatively detailed account of the April 13 concert, but most expert collectors accept the attribution on the box in which the tape was found. McGregor's late-60's account of Dylan's Australian tour was not free of errors.

FLAGGIN' DOWN THE DOUBLE E'S

Razor's Edge 014/015 [T-429]

(1) Maple Leaf Gardens (Toronto, ON); December 1, 1975
(2) Maple Leaf Gardens (Toronto, ON); December 2, 1975
(3) Municipal Auditorium (Bangor, ME); November 27, 1975
(4) Civic Center (Providence, RI); November 4, 1975 (afternoon)
(5) Civic Center (Providence, RI); November 4, 1975 (evening)

Tracklist: (1) When I Paint My Masterpiece, It Ain't Me Babe, The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Romance In Durango, Isis, The Times They Are A-Changin', Dark As A Dungeon, Never Let Me Go, I Dreamed I Saw St Augustine, I Shall Be Released, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Love Minus Zero, Simple Twist Of Fate, Oh Sister, Hurricane, One More Cup Of Coffee, Sara, Just Like A Woman, Knockin' On Heaven's Door: This Land Is Your Land
(2) Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Blowin' In The Wind, Wild Mountain Thyme, Mama You Been On My Mind, Mr Tambourine Man, Tangled Up In Blue
(3) I Don't Believe You
(4) With God On Our Side
(5) It's Airight Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

DEEP: Very listenable, more so than "Get Ready! Tonite Bob is Staying Here With You" if only because of the evenness of the recording. Performance is phenomenal, a lot of great acoustic stuff and hey, an entire '75 show can't be bad. Another excellent job -- if you like Rolling Thunder, highly recommended. Nice cover, too.



FLASHING FOR THE REFUGEES

Speedball 009 [T-147]

Vorst National (Brussels, Belgium); October 8, 1987

Tracklist: Desolation Row, Like A Rolling Stone, Times They Are A Changin', Gotta Serve Somebody, Maggie's Farm, Seņor, I Want You, Pledging My Time, Chimes Of Freedom, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Don't Think Twice, I And I, Shot Of Love, Blowin' In The Wind, Man Gave Names To All The Animals, In The Garden

NOTE: By some reports, the source tape here was slightly sped up to fit the entire show on a single CD.

rmd: This is exactly what I want to see. A complete show, properly labeled, in excellent audience sound. They've even chosen a great concert. Nothing unprofessional about this disc, and it deserves a very strong recommendation. The packaging here is minimal, but the cover includes a color picture of Bob looking angrily at his cigarette, with a harmonica in a holder around his neck. (Anthony Kapolka)

CDG: Very good recording of a tight show with excellent song selection. The Heartbreakers are near-perfect throughout the long show. A diverse set of soulful performances.



THE FLEADH MOR

Scouser 2CDR

Fleadh Mor (Waterford, Eire); July 4, 1993

Tracklist: Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, Memphis Blues Again, All Along The Watchtower, The Man In Me, Watching The River Flow, Little Moses, Tomorrow Night, Boots Of Spanish Leather, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Cat's In The Well, Ballad Of A Thin Man, It Ain't Me Babe

FOLK

Promo Way/Cambio 16 [T-270]

This disc was issued as a promotional insert by an Italian magazine, "Cambio 16." A collection of performances by various artists, it includes only one Dylan performance, the Minnesota Hotel version of "Baby Please Don't Go."

FOLK ROGUE

Wild Wolf 6965 [T-628]

(1) Newport Folk Festival (Newport, RI); July 26, 1964 (line)
(2) City Hall (Newcastle, UK); May 6, 1965 (line)
(3) Newport Folk Festival (Newport, RI); July 25, 1965 (line)
(4) Hollywood Bowl (Los Angeles, CA); September 3, 1965 (line)

Tracklist: (1) It Ain't Me Babe. All I Really Want To Do, To Ramona, Mr Tambourine Man, Chimes Of Freedom
(2) Don't Think Twice
(3) All I Really Wanna Do (workshop), Maggie's Farm, Like A Rolling Stone, Phantom Engineer, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Mr Tambourine Man
(4) Tombstone Blues, It Ain't Me Babe

DEEP: Terrific quality performances from Newport '64 and '65, some only recently circulating. The electric Newport has never been heard in better quality. The 2 "missing" tracks from the "first" Hollywood Bowl 9/1/65 tape are plugged in here, too. Presented in superb sound. Not to be missed.

ISIS: A thoughtfully arranged compilation vividly documenting Dylan's shuffle from acoustic to electric. At Newport in 1964, his vocals are crystalline, strained almost to the point of shattering and yet at the same time, confrontational and defiant. The performances are fresh and unhurried, majestic and captivating. One year later, Dylan plugs in and the world shifts a little on its axis - except that it all seems so innocent when you listen to it now. Astounding music, not fully polished; but that adds rather than detracts from its appeal. The Hollywood Bowl recordings are strangely delightful to listen to - full of light and space. A pleasant listen and momentously historical.



FOLKSINGER'S CHOICE

Yellow Dog 017 [T-200]

Cynthia Gooding Radio Show (New York, NY); February 1962

Tracklist: Lonesome Whistle Blues, Fixin' To Die, Smokestack Lightning, Hard Travelin', Death Of Emmett Till, Standing On The Highway, Roll On John, Stealin', Long Time Man Feel Bad, Baby Please Don't Go, Hard Times In New York

rmd: An absolutely delightful disc! Great performances of (mostly standard) songs interspersed with a conversation with Cynthia Gooding. Bob's bashfulness is very endearing. The sound quality is excellent; this is a must-have disc.



FOOD FOR YOUR EARS

Wall Of Sound 002 [T-013]

(1) BobFest (New York, NY); October 16, 1992
(2) San Jose State Event Center (San Jose, CA); May 9, 1992
(3) Dane County Memorial Coliseum (Madison, WI); November 5, 1991
(4) Northwestern University (Evanston, IL); November 4, 1991

Tracklist: (1) Song To Woody, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
(2) Positively Fourth Street, Just Like A Woman, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Highway 61 Revisited, All Along The Watchtower
(3) I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Trail Of The Buffalo, Mr. Tambourine Man, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

FOREST CITY NIGHT

FOREVER YOUNG

Goblin BSGR 1CD [T-009]

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (Cleveland, OH); September 2, 1995

Tracklist: (1) (Bruce Springsteen) Johnny B. Goode (w/Chuck Berry), Shake Rattle And Roll, Hey Bo Diddley/She's The One, Great Balls Of Fire (w/Jerry Lee Lewis), Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On (w/Jerry Lee Lewis), Darkness On The Edge Of Town
(2) (Bob Dylan) All Along The Watchtower, Just Like A Woman, Seeing The Real You At Last, Highway 61 Revisited, Forever Young (w/Springsteen)
(3) Rock'n'Roll Music (Springsteen, Berry, Melissa Etheridge et al)

DEEP: The complete performances of Dylan and Springsteen at the Hall of Fame bash in Cleveland in excellent, excellent quality. No need to rehash the much-discussed performance of Mr. Bob and Band other than to say they rose to the occasion. You can hear the voice and the band in all their glory. Nice duet, too. The Bruce portion is with the E Street Band as they follow Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee through some old standards, plus two of Bruce's own cuts. Nice enough stuff but the real deal begins with the opening chords to "All Along The Watchtower." Highly recommended.

NOTE: The contents of this disc are apparently identical to those of "Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame."



FOREVER YOUNG

Cool Daddy 2CD

(1) Madison Square Garden (New York, NY); January 31, 1974 (evening) (line)
(2) Alameda County Coliseum (Oakland, CA); February 11, 1974 (afternoon) (line)
(3) Night Of The Hurricane II rehearsals (Los Angeles, CA); January 23, 1976

Tracklist: (1) Most Likely You Go Your Way, Lay Lady Lay, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, It Ain't Me Babe. Ballad Of A Thin Man; Stage Fright, Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, King Harvest, When You Awake, Up On Cripple Creek; All Along The Watchtower, Ballad Of Hollis Brown, Knockin On Heaven's Door, The Times They Are A-Changin', Don't Think Twice, Gates Of Eden, Just Like A Woman, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding); Rag Mama Rag, This Wheel's On Fire, The Shape I'm In
(2) The Weight, Forever Young, Highway 61 Revisited, Like A Rolling Stone, Maggie's Farm, Blowin' In The Wind
(3) Just Like A Woman, Hurricane, Lay Lady Lay, One More Cup Of Coffee

EDLIS: Ice magazine has reported this CD is a clone of "The Poet & the Players."

CDG: Not recommended. The sound is extremely bass-heavy, and needs substantial equalization. The CDR version is even worse.

NOTE: Not all reported versions of this set include the final track, "One More Cup Of Coffee."

FORT MYERS, FLORIDA

no label 2CDR

Everblades Arena (Fort Myers, FL); January 26, 1999

Tracklist: Gotta Serve Somebody, I'll Remember You, Memphis Blues Again, Blind Willie McTell, Watching The River Flow, My Blue Eyed Jane, Mr. Tambourine Man, Tangled Up In Blue, One Too Many Mornings, Can't Wait, Highway 61 Revisited, Love Sick, LeopardSkin PillBox Hat, Blowin' In The Wind, Not Fade Away, Forever Young

EDLIS: The sound of this recording is very good, if rather heavy on bass -- a problem easily handled by a little knob twisting.

FORT WORTH 1974

Amsterdam 731A/B [T-540]

Tarrant County Convention Center Arena (Fort Worth, TX); January 25, 1974

Tracklist: Most Likely You Go Your Way, Lay Lady Lay, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, It Ain't Me Babe, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Stage Fright, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, King Harvest, When You Awake, I Shall Be Released, Up On Cripple Creek, All Along The Watchtower, Ballad Of Hollis Brown, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Times They Are A-Changin', Don't Think Twice, Gates Of Eden, Just Like A Woman, It's Alright Ma, Rag Mama Rag, This Wheel's On Fire, The Shape I'm In

CDG: An audience recording, and not a bad one considering its vintage. Incomplete, including most of the Band's songs, but missing Dylan's closing set and encore. If you like the '74 tour you'll probably like this one.

FORUM NIGHT

Morbid Reality 235 2D

International Forum (Tokyo, Japan); February 9, 1997

Tracklist: Down In The Flood, I Want You, All Along The Watchtower, Just Like A Woman, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Silvio, Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie, Masters Of War, Don't Think Twice, Seeing The Real You At Last, Simple Twist Of Fate, Highway 61 Revisited, Like A Rolling Stone, It Ain't Me Babe, Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

rmd: A great sounding CD. The studio tracks are all excellent; The acetates are very good but sound like acetates. The artwork, including an alternate picture from the Freewheelin' cover shoot, is excellent too. If you like this era, this is the best that's out on CD that I'm aware of. (Arnie Stodolsky)

AMG: A superb 25-song compilation of the best unreleased material from the '62 studio sessions, including interesting originals, a bunch of solid folk and blues covers, alternates of a few tracks that were released, and, most fascinating of all, several tracks featuring electric band accompaniment.



FRENCH GIRL

Silver Rarities 87/88/89 [T-291]

Tracklist: The Times They Are A-Changin', When I Paint My Masterpiece, Man Of Peace, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, Ballad Of Ira Hayes, I Want You, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Memphis Blues Again, Dead Man Dead Man, Queen Jane Approximately, Boy In The Bubble, The French Girl, In The Summertime, Man Of Peace, Union Sundown, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Joey, If Not For You, Slow Train, Tomorrow Is A Long Time, Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest, John Brown, Don't Keep Me Waiting Too Long, Stealin', I Want You, Oh Boy, Tangled Up In Blue, Walking Down The Line, Simple Twist Of Fate, Gotta Serve Somebody, Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking, Maggie's Farm, Chimes Of Freedom, All I Really Want To Do, John Brown, Heart Of Mine, Rolling In My Sweet Baby's Arms, John Hardy, Heart Of Mine, Wicked Messenger, Watching The River Flow

DEEP: Quality is very good, albeit a little hissy. Pretty cool to hear Dylan do some of the older material.

FRIEND OF THE DEVIL

Wanted Man 64/65 [T-017]

The Orpheum (Minneapolis, MN); August-September 1992

Tracklist: Everything Is Broken, Friend Of The Devil (9/2), All Along The Watchtower, Under The Red Sky (9/2), Just Like A Woman, It Takes A Lot To Laugh (9/3), I Believe In You (9/3), I'll Be Your Baby Tonight (8/31), Ballad Of Hollis Brown (8/31), Hard Rain's A- Gonna Fall (9/2), To Ramona (8/30), It's All Over Now Baby Blue (9/2), Visions Of Johanna (9/3), Every Grain Of Sand (9/3), If Not For You (8/31), I And I (8/30), Idiot Wind (8/30), Lenny Bruce (8/30), To Be Alone With You (8/30), What Good Am I, Highway 61 Revisited, It Ain't Me Babe

DEEP: Dylan played 50 songs during this stint and a nice selection of 22 are presented here in decent but (all too common for Wanted Man) not outstanding quality. The disks are certainly very listenable and contain some outstanding performances; however, separation is not a strong point and the sound does not have the crispness/clarity that distinguishes the better releases. On the plus side, Dylan's vocals shine bright and the track selections make this a worthwhile and unified set. Although a compilation, it's put together like a regular show. Lukewarm recommendation.



FRIEND TO THE MARTYR (OUTFIDELS)

Silver Rarities 44 [T-205]

Power Station (New York, NY); April 11-May 8, 1983


Tracklist: Jokerman, Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight, I And I, Clean Cut Kid, Julius And Ethel, Death Is Not The End, Foot Of pride, Sweetheart Like You, I And I, Someone's Got A Hold Of My Heart, Union Sundown, Tell Me, Blind Willie McTell, This Was My Love

BIABH: To be avoided. A sloppy package superseded by "Rough Cuts," which is more complete, has superior overall sound quality, and is unmarred by digital noise.



FRIENDS AND OTHER STRANGERS

Moontunes 016 [T-023]

Last Waltz Rough Mix (San Francisco, CA); November 25, 1976

Tracklist: Down South In New Orleans (Dr. John); All Our Past Times, Further On Up The Road (Eric Clapton); Helpless, Four Strong Winds (Neil Young); Furry Sings The Blues (Joni Mitchell); Tura Lura Lura, Caravan (Van Morrison); Acadian Driftwood (Band); Baby Let Me Follow You Down, Hazel, I Don't Believe You, Forever Young, Baby Let Me Follow You Down; I Shall Be Released (ensemble)

DEEP: Dylan's complete set at the Last Waltz, including a delightful "Hazel" not issued as part of the official release. This mono soundboard is a tad below what you'd consider excellent but the naked rawness and rough-edged feel more than make up for it. Also included is the "missing" verse from "Forever Young." The official release suffered from considerable overdubbing - no such problem here. The complete sets by Van Morrison, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell are also included, and as a huge bonus the unissued "Acadian Driftwood" by the Band and Eric Clapton's "All Our Past Times." Nice job, safe to say this is more "true sounding" than the official release.

(4) Tombstone Blues (w/Chambers Bros)

DEEP A stunning upgrade of the virtually complete Hollywood Bowl soundboard. This one sheds what seems like 3 layers of skin from previous editions and emerges with a brightness and clarity that enhances the listening experience immensely. Bob's vocals are clear, distinct and without the distortion on the louder vocal passages. The acoustic set has more definition and a lot more "air" between the vocals and guitar. The electric set benefits even more from the significant upgrade - Robbie's guitar is more prominent, Kooper's keyboards more distinct and the drums have a punchier sound, more snap than thud. Bob's vocals are much clearer. The recording has a crisper, more defined and punchier sound with very little of the compression found on the earlier versions. The balance of the material is from Newport '64 and '65, missing several tracks. Quality is excellent in every way. A terrific package on this one with a vintage close-up cover shot of Bob, a heavy duty, 16 page glossy b&w booklet full of more vintage '65 and '66 pics (some unpublished, I believe), classy graphics and picture disk CDs. Essential.

rmd: Why, oh, why, did they cut away the introduction, and all the between-songs stuff? And why omit the Newport "Mr. Tambourine Man?" To make a few more people buy "Folk Rogue," or what? There would have been plenty of room on disc one of this set. I don't get it. I don't buy it. (SK)



FROM THE COAST OF BARCELONA

Razor's Edge 009/010 [T-389]

(1) Minestadio (Barcelona, Spain); June 28, 1984
(2) Slane Castle (Slane, Eire); July 8, 1984

Tracklist: (1) Highway 61 Revisited, Jokerman, All Along The Watchtower, Just Like A Woman, Maggie's Farm, I And I, License To Kill, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, It Ain't Me Babe, It's Alright Ma, Simple Twist Of Fate, Masters Of War, Ballad Of A Thin Man, Enough Is Enough, Every Grain Of Sand, Lay Lady Lay, Like A Rolling Stone, Mr Tambourine Man, Don't Think Twice, Girl From The North Country, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Se¤or, The Times They Are A Changin', Tombstone Blues, Blowin' In The Wind
(2) It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Tupelo Honey (w/Van Morrison), Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat

DEEP: Well below the better 1984 discs in terms of sound quality.

EDLIS: Complete recording of one of the best Dylan concerts ever in very good quality. Highly recommended.



FROM THE COAST OF BARCELONA

Black Cat 01/02 [T-390]

(1) Poble Espanyol De Montjuic (Barcelona, Spain); July 1, 1993
(2) Pabillon Araba (Vitorio, Spain); July 2, 1993

Tracklist: (1) Hard Times, Memphis Blues Again, All Along The Watchtower, Just Like A Woman, Tangled Up In Blue, The Man In Me, Watching The River Flow, Little Moses, Tomorrow Night, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Mr Tambourine Man, Cat's In The Well, I And I, Maggie's Farm, Man In The Long Black Coat, It Ain't Me Babe
(2) Boots Of Spanish Leather, Born In Time

rmd: This audience recording has wonderfully clear sound -- perhaps too clear, because it sometimes seems that every member of the audience can be heard on the source tape. A wonderful, loose- feeling performance, a real treat that's not spoiled by the crowd noise.

DEEP: I find this compilation not bad at all and a nice companion piece to the best complete 1984 shows.

FROM THE VAULTS Volume 1

Dandelion 059/060 [T-631]

live tracks 1992-1998 from www.bobdylan.com

Tracklist: Visions Of Johanna (Minneapolis 9/3/92); Tight Connection To My Heart, Delia, Weeping Willow (Supper Club 11/17/93); Shelter From The Storm (Roseland 11/19/94); Mr Tambourine Man (Wolf Trap 8/23/97); Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll (El Rey 12/16/97); Tears Of Rage (MSG 1/17/98); Born In Time (Newark 2/1/98); Girl From The North Country (MSG 1/20/98); The Man In Me (Syracuse 1/28/98); Love Sick (Grammy Awards 2/28/98); Make You Feel My Love (UCLA 5/21/98), I'm Not Supposed To Care (Anaheim 5/23/98); Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Leipzig 6/2/98); Mama You Been On My Mind (Brussels 6/17/98); Boots Of Spanish Leather (Glasgow 6/21/98); Se¤or (Lucca 7/6/98).

DEEP: A collection of 18 of the 30+ tracks that have, at one time or another, resided on the official website. The fidelity of the recordings is incredible. To call the quality of the Supper Club recordings or the "Shelter" from Roseland '94 astonishing would not be overstating the case here; the 3 Supper Club tracks are worth the price of admission. Night and day is an understatement. The rest of the set is peppered with more goodies - some wondrous, some very good, some okay. One constant is the great sound throughout. Nice, colorful package with small booklet/notations for each track.

NOTE: The release of these discs is widely believed to have provoked both the reduction of the number of unreleased recordings available at bobdylan.com and the elimination of the site archives.



FROM THE VAULTS Volume 2

Dandelion 131/132 2D

live tracks 1992-1999 from www.bobdylan.com

Tracklist: Idiot Wind (Minneapolis 8/3/92), I Believe In You (Rochester 11/3/98), Across The Borderline (Rochester 11/3/98), Man In The Long Black Coat (Tampa 1/30/99), Don't Think Twice (Troy 2/22/99), Never Gonna Be The Same Again (Tampa 1/30/99), Not Fade Away (Troy 2/22/99), Silvio (Tampa 1/30/99), To Be Alone With You (Troy 2/22/99), Little Moses (Minneapolis 9/2/92), The Times We've Known (New York City 11/01/98), Shake Sugaree (Atlanta 12/01/97), Watching The River Flow (Tallahassee 2/1/99), Make You Feel My Love (New Orleans 2/3/99), Love Sick (Nashville 2/6/99), Blowin' In The Wind (Tampa 1/30/99), Newry Highwayman (Belfast 6/19/98), Visions Of Johanna (Portland 2/25/99), I And I (Dijon 7/1/98), Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie (Hamburg 6/12/98), Friend Of The Devil (Binghampton 2/19/99), Tears Of Rage (Troy 2/22/99)

DEEP: Sound is excellent throughout. The package is nifty: a color glossy housing, with an eight-page booklet including a track by track review as well as snazzy pics. A fine listen.

rmd: Collection of downloaded tracks from the official website, all in the best possible quality and mixed between tracks to give a 'continuous' feel. Although Wild Wolf's "Masters (bobdylan.com)" featured slightly smoother versions of some of these tracks, the dynamics here are superior, as is the track selection. A far more compelling representation of this material.



F*** THE PLAYLIST

Sterling Sounds 2CD [T-464]

(1) Brixton Academy (London, UK); March 30, 1995
(2) Brixton Academy (London, UK); March 29, 1995

Tracklist: (1) Down In The Flood, If You See Her Say Hello, All Along The Watchtower, Jokerman, Every Grain Of Sand, Positively Fourth Street, Mr Tambourine Man, Masters Of War, Love Minus Zero, God Knows, Memphis Blues Again, I Believe In You, Like A Rolling Stone, Times They Are A-Changin, I Shall Be Released
(2) I Want You, Just Like A Woman, It Takes A Lot To Laugh, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Don't Think Twice

DEEP: Without going overboard with too many plaudits, these disks are sensational. Recording quality far exceeds "Skipping Reels Of Rhyme," while the better "Brixton Blues" falls short in the end. Good dynamics, crystal clear vocals and solid overall sound. Everything is pushed to a greater degree of clarity. Overall the slightly ragged production on the filler trax is overshadowed by the recording quality. Nice package and inserts, too.

rmd: If you enjoyed Bob's Full House (which is one of the greatest performances/recordings I know - maybe THE greatest) then you just have this for the full Brixton experience. Recording quality is first class, and the performances . . well, maybe not quite so brimming with riches as "Full House" - but still oh so very fine. The "Love Minus Zero" is beyond words.



FURY OF THE MOMENT
