BOB DYLAN : HONKY TONK BLUES |
|
Disc One (45:12)
Disc Two (55:18)
Label : Montserrat / GR Venue : Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Date : February 15, 1999 Quality : audience recording (A+) Comments from Bobs Boots : This is a fairly nice, and unique sounding show. The performance might be, at times, somewhat uninspired, but it is far from unenjoyable. Bob's extended guitar solos (that I usually don't care for live) seem to work a little better with a second listen. The horn section adds a sweet sound on a couple numbers. The recording, however, is a little too thin, and a little too far away. The audience around the recorder proves why you shouldn't talk at a Dylan show. "What's that guy on the end playing?.. Oh, it's a ukulele." "Play somebody must get stoned!". The package aesthetics are fair as well, but the front cover is week. Fortunately, it can be flipped to reveal a nicer looking photo of Dylan and Setzer. |
