BOB DYLAN : OH THE STREETS OF ROME |
|
Disc One (66:10)
Disc Two (68:07)
Label : Wanted Man Music Venue : Paleur, Rome, Italy Date : June 19th, 1984 Quality : Soundboard Recording (A+) Review (Bob's Boots) : This is a crystal clear soundboard. The audience is virtualy non existent. The only problem with it is that Dylan's mics are so much hotter than the other instruments that it sometimes burries them. This is not always a bad thing for vocals, but the harp and guitar are equally loud. On Just Like A Woman, for instance, the acoustic guitar is so far above the mix as to be irritating. Of course, the songs that Dylan performs solo (acoustic) are a perfect blend of voice and instrument. Simple Twist Of Fate is one of the highlights worth mentioning. Bob pours himself into it as never before, and becomes the actor. When You Gonna Wake Up has all new lyrics. The artwork is nice, but typically simple from this label. |
