Review (Bob's Boots) : This title is the second CD version of this great show. A slightly better version with the songs in original performance order was released in 1988 entitled 'Bob Dylan's Dream'. There were several released in the years to follow. As with the previous title, this one too was recorded directly from one of the many vinyl releases of the same name. The soundboard recording is as good as the vinyl, but some find vinyl noise from a CD a source of irritation. Some unique highlights to appear on this version, however, are the addition of "Like A Rolling Stone" from Edinburgh, the 1978 radio broadcast narration, and nice photos inside of Dylan in the famous 'hound's tooth' suit. The CD 'Bob Dylan's Dream'  was copied by 'Wanted Man' and released in a similar package as this Scorpio title. A couple of years later, Wanted man also released a better quality version entitle simply 'Melbourne'. There was also a release by Lavender in a cardboard slip cover that is merely a copy of this Scorpio release. A fantastic voyage, this show should be in every collection.
