First concert with the 9th Never-Ending Tour Band: Bob Dylan (vocal & guitar), Bucky Baxter (pedal steel guitar & electric slide guitar), John Jackson (guitar), Tony Garnier (bass), Winston Watson (drums & percussion). 8–12, 14, 18 acoustic with the band. 3, 11, 14, 18 Bob Dylan harmonica. 1 Bucky Baxter (backup vocal). 11, 14, 18 Bucky Baxter (electric mandolin). NOTES: Some track transitions are not entirely seamless D1 T2: [1:15, 1:26] dropouts; crowd noise clipped at end D1 T7 & T8: She Belongs To Me split into two tracks for some reason D2 T14: [4:16] cable bump/wire jiggle/whatever D2 T18: [6:04-6:12] ending clipped SOUND: Vocals barely discernable for first track but begin to round into listenable shape a minute or so into Lenny Bruce. Bob's guitar is so up front during Lenny Bruce if I wasn't such a professional I might be frightened. This recording ends up sounding pretty well, the crowd is far away and when Bob yells the high end buzzes a little, but not too bad. COMMENTS: Songs like Tangled and Mobile are pretty good here, Bob is singing a little more quietly than he will in the coming months on these, nice. Whoops, guess the Old Harper just kicked in, She Belongs To Me is vintage '93 caterwauling. Strangely that same caterwauling works to some degree on Tomorrow Night. Bob's solo comes through bright and magnified, an ugly little gem. Great acoustic set, these are fun. Dig Tony's small bass solo in Jim Jones. After the song Bob muses that it's a tough tune to play, so maybe that's why it sounds cool...Bob had to focus. Sadly that proves so taxing he vocally blunders his way through the rest of the show. Kidding. I and I is fascinating in a train wreck kind of way; you can't help but stare at your speakers and listen to the entire thing. And on it goes, during Highway 61: "Yes I think it can be easily done...I'm not sure though!" Another tumbler of Maker's Mark for the big guy, I'm buying. . BOTTOM LINE: Overall, I'd say this is a minor step up from the audience recording; take a listen to the three filler tracks from the bootleg "Apollo Landing" for an idea of the sound quality of that. It's pretty good; when the sound on this balances and warms up it's okay, too. In the end it comes down to which you prefer, but don't lose sleep over having one and not the other, the performance isn't that great. 3b533c3d2cd7aeb9c921634fa9ee40f5 *bd900205d1t01.shn 5faf866f44749705f00957e22807e7e0 *bd900205d1t02.shn 60e3416c200324714f52aab542f6dd27 *bd900205d1t03.shn 6b16761d1cb16b1e9a6fbf8adee01941 *bd900205d1t04.shn 7fcba3d00b55a3b3c68ee508ee4b5969 *bd900205d1t05.shn 686ecbda6c9eeb52c31395c604312bab *bd900205d1t06.shn 331b56bab9486b7dbf168ada7284e9c3 *bd900205d1t07.shn 7b5e711011acd57993ee72c6e2af716d *bd900205d1t08.shn 52b490189d839075f7fbdd60cc56ce84 *bd900205d1t09.shn ed2ef7766a8aaf6c3b8a2d4ae35a92f0 *bd900205d1t10.shn 11bf95824a09caa6200a7560d5623b24 *bd900205d1t11.shn 14615c3c59eb01b036722093337b3cee *bd930205d2t01.shn 3e770ab330780f09161fb76d4fb4c6c3 *bd930205d2t02.shn b38092a16a81be2e8a9c534c021eb011 *bd930205d2t03.shn b08f7f0f7e814ef21b877de1428c260b *bd930205d2t04.shn 29341baa924b10eab8d95f7790f317d2 *bd930205d2t05.shn 0fdfd62a9bfc8ead03630b8ca86d1e8a *bd930205d2t06.shn c11a87de286bdf5e20e1eeac14b4d776 *bd930205d2t07.shn 287d2a51b83da85fa00f46d669d8276e *bd930205d2t08.shn
