NOTE: This set appears to have been issued under two slightly different versions of its cover slips; one version features an incomplete tracklist.
DEEP: Not since (bathed in a
stream of) PURE HEAT have more uniquely sublime Dylan
performances been gathered together in one place. The quality is
stunning, to say the least; crystal clear, upfront sound, every
quirk and rasp of those glorious pipes ringing true in all their
raging glory, every pluck, strum, bash and cymbal hit burning
through with astounding clarity, and even some sorely missed harp
thrown in for good measure. Perhaps the ultimate live collection to
date. Includes the usual, classy full color, multi-page booklets
and gorgeous photos.
rmd: While the Globe concert is magnificent in every
respect, the filler tracks are less reliable, both in performance
and in sound. Overall, though, I've never heard a better field
recording.(AD)
