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.
