Review (Bob's Boots) : As with much of the late 80's, Dylan's vocals are intense and powerful. The 3 piece band led by G.E. Smith is raw and energetic. The mix is very warm and full. The performance is marvelous. Dylan takes a huge bite out of the Big Apple from Radio City. Coincidentally, Warner Brothers released the incredible 'Traveling Wilburys Vol.1" while Dylan was playing in this 'showplace of the nation'. This might have lent a hand to a little extra sparkle and drive to be found in this tour de force. This Italian Label was noted for incredible packages and sound quality. This set is no exception. The package includes a 6 page fold out with classy looking graphics, beautiful photos, and a great write up of the event. The topper for this package is the CDs, silk-screened with a Dylan photo. 
Review (RMD) : This is the best recording from the '88 tour. The sound quality is pure, rich, full-bodied and crystal clear, mastered to bring out an intensely intimate feeling. Most of the songs are sung with the 80s hand in fist vocal stance and  rough, raw bar band sound. The focus and articulation are remarkable. The two traditional tunes are beautifully sung. Great sound, great setlist, outstanding performance. A splendid quality soundboard tape. Filler tracks are from Lake Compounce, Bristol, CT (September 4th, 1988). Recommended.
