DEEP: The Cottbus portion of this set is presented in
excellent quality - upfront and punchy, with vocals and
instrumentation crisp and clear and all nuances intact. Bob and the
gang deliver a performance to match here, loud and strong and
energetic and passionate. From the opening roll, Dylan's vocals are
on the mark and the band rolls right along with him. A nice
selection of filler (albeit in lesser quality but still pleasing)
completes a very worthwhile disk. Two things about the packaging
these are the best looking disks of all time with full color repros
of the Cottbus and Magdeburg tickets on each. Very cool. The front
insert folds out into a full color poster - a nice touch.
