Review : The sound of this bootleg starts with an audience recording of the introduction, but soon goes into a very good soundboard recording. The sound in general is a bit too harsh, but we have here a historical document in excellent quality. Nice bootleg from Zion.

Review (Collector's Music Reviews) : Bob Dylan with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and The Queens Of Rhythm – Bonner Springs 1986 Soundboard (Zion-219) is a 3CD stereo soundboard from the Sandstone Amphitheater, Bonner Springs, Kansas on July 24th, 1986. This is reported to be “copied straight from the mixing desk cassettes”.

Review (Gig In Japan) : Bob Dylan’s 1986 tour with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was later described in his autobiography as “a period of disorientation” and “a bit overwhelmed by the momentum of the younger Pettys.” But it was Dylan who was a natural performer, and even at that time he was actually devoted to playing and singing, and a wonderful soundboard recording that proves it captured the enthusiastic performance in his hometown. It was the masterpiece "The Best Show : Minneapolis 1986" or the superb audience “Madison Square Garden 1986 Final Night" that captured the happy party night at MSG. The 1986 US tour was a time when other leaked soundboards were being unearthed, but among them, a very half-finished soundboard had been on the market for a long time. Bonner Springs on the 28th of May. Although it was a sound board with good sound quality of PA out, the second half of the live, the recording of less than one-third of the entire show, became an enemy, and the item was never released in any form. . More than that, the appeal of the sound board was halved in that Dylan’s live performance in Kansas meant that he could not hear “Kansas City”, which he sang at the opening with a wit. However, our store exclusively obtains from overseas collectors the full-length soundboard version that has not been circulated among traders until now. The fact that the full-length sound board of the day when it was thought that “most of the live was not recorded” was finally discovered because of the sound source that was on the market only at the end of the live for a long time. It will give a big shock to Dylan maniacs all over the world. In the first place, two versions of the sound board only for the second half of the live, which has been popular in the past, are on the market, one is recorded from Petty’s “Tonight Might Be My Night”, and the other is ” Rainy Day Women #12&35". In fact, the latter has been uploaded on the Internet since the beginning of this year. However, this version has a long recording time from the second half, and recording begins with Petty’s “Straight Into Darkness”. This alone is an upper version that can be a sufficient topic, but the point that this time it is recorded firmly from the rare opening is too big. In this way, you can hear it on the sound board from “Kansas City”, but unfortunately the staff was late in pressing the recording button, and the beginning of the same song was missing. Fortunately, on this day, low-quality audience recordings with good sound quality are available, and we have adjusted the problematic parts so that you can listen to the rare opening completely. Furthermore, the audience recording was also active in the defect that occurred in the touch of “Straight Into Darkness” from the end of “Ballad Of A Thin Man”, which was the timing to switch to the second cassette. This part is connected extremely smoothly, and I wonder if you will notice it when you hear it. Dylan The PA out sound board of the 1980s has a much better balance of instruments than the PA out sound source of the 70s, for example, ZEP, and it is not too direct, and there are even places where the drums and keyboards are separated into stereo. feature. This is a phenomenon that was consistently seen in the 80’s PA sound board such as "The Best Show : Minneapolis 1986”. This is very easy to hear, and it’s something that you can fully enjoy as live music. What I’m most happy about is that Dylan’s wonderful performance was captured as if it weren’t lost to that famous Minneapolis recording. As Dylan said after finishing singing in the first place, it is clear that the engine is fully open from the opening when he shows the rock and roll classic “Kansas City” live for the first time. It is further spurred from the singing “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”. The advantage of PA out is that you can see such a situation, and Dylan from there is already sharp. On top of that, when introducing the members, he joked that the late Heartbreakers bassist Howie Epstein was from Kansas (actually, he was from Milwaukee), and led the band to a breakthrough on “Like A Rolling Stone.” If you think about it, Dylan on this day seems to be really fun, such as ending it by increasing the tempo. If Minneapolis is a local “great performance of spirit”, the sound board here in Bonner Springs, Kansas can be called “a masterpiece full of room”. Not only is it the third masterpiece and masterpiece of the 86-year American tour after Minneapolis and ““Madison Square Garden 1986 Final Night" mentioned above, but above all, it was thought that it did not exist even among core enthusiasts. The longest upper version that recorded the first half of the live performance starting with “Kansas City” with a shocking sound board. A limited press CD that can be said to be a historical excavation is born!
