Review:
One of my all time favorite RTR shows has been cleaned up beautifully, and released in proper performance order. This show has been available on CD since 1990 on Great Dane's classic 'Get Ready...'. This is one of the all-time great boot CD releases. Passionately inspired performances, great quality sound, a wide selection of songs, and several Desire tracks all combine with Dylan being talkative, and dead on with the perfectly paced deliveries, to create a must-have CD. The only thing I don't care for is the original pen and water-color art work used for the cover. It is a nicely done primitive, and it does inspire the loose feeling associated with the tour; but my personal preference is for vintage photos. There are so many great, undiscovered RTR shots out there. The Boston show alone makes this show indispensable to the collection... but there's more. Q has also included all seven of the circulating songs from the soundboard of Plymouth. Just as incredible and awe-inspiring, and not as commonly available on CD. Now what would you pay? But wait ... there's more! To finish out the filler are two classics each from the Waterbury and Toronto soundboards that help to make this CD a boot to own if you own no other. Heads up to Sony... this ought to be the next release in the bootleg series!!!
