Label : Rattlesnake

Venue : Jones Beach Amphitheater, Wantagh, New York, USA

Date : July 30, 1999

Quality : Soundboard Recording (A+)

Review (Bob's Boots) : A great sound quality 3 CD set. The biggest problem is that Dylan's opening number, "Oh Babe, It Ain't No Lie" has been left off. The reason for this is unclear. It is available. There is no time restraint problem, as the discs are short (averaging under 60 minutes each). That brings up the final point of contention with this set. With only minor editing, this pricey set could have been a 2 CD set that would have been just as fullfilling. As for the show itself, it is a tad bit lackluster. The quality is there, but the magic isn't. This is a fair package, but nothing special.
