=================== =================== =================== === Friends And Other Strangers info.txt =================== =================== =================== Bob Dylan - Friends And Other Strangers Warehouse, New Orleans, LA / May 3rd, 1976 (evening concert) Label: The Soundboard Master Tapes, TSMT-001/002 Audio Source: soundboard Lineage: Silver --> XLD --> FLAC 8 Number of Discs: 2 Artwork: included Total running time: 133m 27s Disc 1 running time 64m 43s / Disc 2 running Time 68m 43s Notes: Bob Dylan and the RTR played two shows at the Warehouse in New Orleans on May 3rd, 1976. The evening show is sourced from an excellent quality soundboard recording. The sound quality on this is a considerable improvement over all previous release and can be considered definitive. All of the Dylan performances are present and a selection of the other numbers fill out the balance of the set with 'Isis' being the biggest cut in the tape, eliminating the final several minutes of the song. The first two Dylan songs are played alone accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. 'Love Minus Zero / No Limit' makes its only appearance on the second RTR tour. Dylans work with Guam begins with the duet 'Vincent Van Gogh' with Bob Neuwirth which is followed by the intense 'Maggies Farm' played during this tour. Dylan exaggerates the hillbilly accent during the chorus lending a counterpoint of irony to the song, but he sings so intensely he has to pause before the final 'I aint gonna work on Maggies farm no more' and clears his throat. Two songs from Desire follow. 'Isis' is played with a heavy rock beat and is unfortunately cut after four and a half minutes, but that is a flaw on the source tape and there is nothing that can be done (unless an audience tape were to surface). The final Dylan set takes up the bulk of disc two beginning with 'Shelter From The Storm.' The acoustic arrangement from Blood On The Tracks was transformed into an electric, fuzz laden stomper with Dylan shouting out the lyrics. The vulnerable desire for salvation is changed into a diatribe from one demanding respect wrapped into the heros hubris. After 'Youre A Big Girl Now' the only ever live performance of 'Rita Mae' follows. This Desire outtake, released two years after this show on the rare Masterpieces LP, sounds awesome and one that should have made more live appearances. The weight of these performances lay in 'Idiot Wind' which effectively replaced 'Hurricane' in the set list for giving purpose to the proceedings. This performance seems to drag as Dylan spits out the lyrics. 'Were gonna go after this song - get a transfusion' are Dylans words before the final eight minute version of 'Gotta Travel On' where everybody it seems takes a solo. Friends And Other Strangers is packaged in a gorgeous digipack with many period photos on the artwork and given the sound quality and excellent performance is worth having. http://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com/dylan-bob/bob-dylan-friends-and-other-strangers-the-soundboard-master-tapes-tsmt-001002/ Info: 3400 The Warehouse New Orleans, Louisiana 3 May 1976 Evening Rolling Thunder Revue 2 concert #14.
