DEEP: Very nice soundboard recording of a complete Dylan (23
tracks)/Petty (8 tracks) show. Not up to the soundboard standard of
Marseilles '93, mind you, but very good nonetheless. I favor the
acoustic and mid-tempo performances from this show; the rocking
songs Bob speeds through as if a 33rpm played at 45. The excellent
keyboard work by Benmont Tench is a highlight. Let me also add that
I find Mike Campbell to be a very distinctive guitar player and one
who "did right" by the songs with his playing. The bonus
trax are from audience sources, with no duplication from the
Shoreline show. Quality is decent, though by no means great. Well
worth picking up. The packaging, to be blunt, sucks.
rmd: Sound quality is substandard. (Masato Kato).
