THE REAL SOUND
Red Sky 1014 [T-462]
Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA); September 8, 1993
Tracklist: Memphis Blues Again, All Along The Watchtower, Positively Fourth Street, Silvio, Born In Time, BlackJack Davey, Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Maggie's Farm, Series Of Dreams, Boots Of Spanish Leather (inc.), It Ain't Me Babe
DEEP: 77 minute soundboard recording which omits two
circulating tracks. The quality here is in-your-face, vocals in all
their full-throated, raspy glory with nuances intact, and music
well balanced and vivid also. A milestone show of sorts as we get
the live debut of "Series of Dreams." Dylan's vocals are
crystal clear and well defined. This is a stretch, but the only
negative I can come up with is that some may find the recording is
a bit too up front. An essential set, with some nice insert info on
how BDs albums have charted over the years, gold/platinum status,
etc.
rmd: Not quite soundboard quality, taken from a hearing-impaired feed. While the "Series Of Dreams" makes the concert essential, the rest of Dylan's performance is very good.
