rmd: A compilation of excellent audience recordings from
Dylan's 1990 London residency. Even though I'd have preferred a
complete concert, I'm happy with this Oh Mercy pastiche.
The last three songs are excellent performances, and a welcome
addition. A direct copy of the LP boot "Deadpan Twist."
The CD itself sports a black and silver image of Bob, with an artsy
blue streak down the side. (Anthony Kapolka)
Nice quality audience recordings. The best tracks on the CD are
the three concluding "filler" tracks, after the songs
from Oh Mercy. My only complaint is that the CD clocks in
at just under 45 minutes, leaving about 30 minutes of wasted
space.
