After a recent discussion with a friend about the absurdity of there not being a Never Ending Tour Bootleg Series (yet), I took matters into my own hands. I’ve bookmarked certain performances throughout the years that stood out to me and decided to compile them into what would be a realistic 5-CD set. For the sake of variety, I made sure to pick at least one song from every album to be represented (aside from Christmas in the Heart and Dylan [1973], which he's never culled from for any set).

I compiled all the tracks into GarageBand, matched the levels as closely as possible, and did my best to crossfade each track into each other to create a true live album feel. Since I only have bootleg recordings available to me, and given that I'm far from an audio engineer, it’s not perfect. But I'm happy with the results, and hopefully you will be too.
