DEEP: Some Dylan compilations don't quite measure up (i.e.
some Wanted Man's) for a number of reasons - disparity in quality,
misguided track selection, short disks - they have a feel of being
thrown together to meet a deadline. The ones that do measure up
have a feel of being put together by someone who really appreciates
the music. This disk falls strongly into the latter category. The
quality is consistently excellent on all eleven tracks, quite
amazing considering that 5 shows are represented, and care was
given to select tracks for both rarity of play and performance
quality. Dylan and the band are at the top of their game on all
these tracks. A classy looking package, too.
CDG: A compilation, taken from the European tour 1994, all
in exceptional quality. Good selection of tracks from an excellent
tour.
rmd: A big, big disappointment. There is nothing outstanding, sensational to find here. Because the audience noise is so often conspicuous, it is far below standard and will probably leave you disappointed and frustrated. If there is one thing I hate, it is a noisy audience.
