BOB DYLAN : NAME THAT TUNE ! |
|
Disc One
Disc Two
Label : Doberman Venue : Liederhalle, Stuttgart, Germany Date : June 16, 1991 Quality : Audience recording (A+) Review (Bob's Boots) : Everyone knows that when Dylan is "on"... he's untouchable. But even the hardest of the hard-core agree that he has performed some stinkers as well. For my money, Bob at his worst, is better than most garbage out there today. Well, this 2 disc, commercial CD-r set is one of those opportunities to hear Bob when he was not at his best. The whole gimmick of this set is that Stuttgart '91 was a fairly lame performance. Had the monitors gone down? Was Bob sober? Who knows. To this, the manufacturer has culled some less than perfect (although far from bad) performances, put a rather un-flattering photo on the cover, and voilá... Of course, Bob can't ever be all bad. What Good Am I? stands out as a powerful and touching heartfelt performance. Ballad Of A Thin Man smokes! There are other tunes that work also, so don't write this one off too fast. Review (Roberts) : This is a nasty and mean bootleg, full of disrespect for Dylan's work. OK, there's much more better shows than worse shows compared to this, but still... The enclosed artwork has lots of negative comments, which you may agree or disagree with. The show IS quite bad, Dylan is most likely very drunk, and his performance is going in all directions. As far as I can see, he didn't touch the keyboards on stage again until fall 2002...listen to the opening track and you'll get an idea why.. |
