DEEP: Another fine compilation that easily takes the cake
for most eclectic track listing. Sound quality is consistent
throughout and ranges from excellent to very good, quite surprising
considering the number of sources. There are 15 cover tunes, many
of which Bob has played only a few times (if that many), and
several originals that receive infrequent airings. The tracks are
so eclectic and interesting; even the ones that don't work are at
least interesting. High marks for this set and, to reiterate, sound
quality is consistently good throughout. For those who are not
familiar with BD live material circa 1989 and 1991, be forewarned.
It is a far cry from the polish and sheen, so to speak, of BD live
circa 1994 and 1995. The voice is rougher and the arrangements are
not as tight. This does not detract from the attractiveness of the
set, it is just to caution those who are intrigued by the track
list.
CDG: Despite the interesting selection of songs, this set cannot escape
the faults of its era. Energetic but rushed and unpolished.
