NOTE: No longer recommended; superseded by the official Live 1964 release. The Broadside recording circulates commonly, on such items as Broadside.
DEEP: The quintessential Dylan concert up to that point in
time, as important to 1964 as the Manchester concert is to 1965
or Live 1966 to 1966. The sound is much smoother, fuller and
has more "punch" than previous CDs I've heard of this
show. This one is pristine, with Dylan's voice more natural and the
guitar/harmonica eliciting a much richer tone. Dylan at his early
best - humorous, charming and witty in-between songs and strong,
confident and defiant during them. As a bonus, you get the WBAI-FM
"Broadside" radio show from '62 in superb quality. The
double-jewel packaging is superb, with a classy black and gold
color scheme and vintage Bob and Joan photos. Essential listening
for everyone.
CDG: A classic performance in excellent quality, in part
due to some digital filtering to remove tape hiss.
