Review (Bob's Boots) : It's a rarity for Crystal Cat to release a Dylan show from the USA, but here we have one. There are a few commercial labels that have released this show that closes out the 2nd annual Rothbury Festival. All have their good and bad points. This one presents a great audio and incredible bonus tracks. It is a soundboard tape that has been remastered by CC. Of course it also includes CC's flair for packaging. There are great photos from the event, and the discs are custom silk screened. As an added bonus, the Cat includes highlights of Dylan performing Together Through Life tunes, covers and songs from other shows around the same time period. Altogether, the discs present two and a half hours of listening pleasure. The theme of the venue is jam-bands, so the band pulls out all the stops and cranks out some great solos. This is one of the better set lists of the tour, and there is a bit of magic woven in to each tune. Speaking of magic, during the concert there was a light misty rain that began to fall at the beginning of High Water, and ended just as the song did. Just another one of those magical moments. Check out Chasing a Shadow for an indepth review of the Rothbury songs. While that was the first release, this version has been remastered and has a different sound that many agree is the better sound
