BOB DYLAN : WANTED MAN |
|
Label : Kiss The Stone Time : 79:23 Venue : Lake Compounce, Bristol, Connecticut, USA Date : September 4th, 1988 Quality : Soundboard Recording (A+) Review (Bob's Boots) : Super nice package from the Italian Label KTS. This manufacturer went to the 'Nth' degree to establish themselves as a legitimate outfit. From the 'point-of-sale' posters, to slick, full color wholesale catalogs. From merchandise order forms inside the CD (which allowed purchase of titles with a credit card), to a true factory seal on the outside. This CD is no exception. Great aesthetics, and the trademark CD silk screened with the cover photo. The sound quality is always fantastic as well. This one is a perfectly quiet soundboard tape with very little to no audience (even between songs). Although there is a small bit of tape hiss. A jam-packed 80 minutes was virtually unheard of in '92. It's enough to capture the entire show (although Like A Rolling Stone suffers from a bad edit to eliminate some of the long guitar lead. The show itself is good enough, though far from remarkable. Dylan just never seems to get into it. The one thing that this 1988 tour was noted for was songs that only popped up once or twice on the tour. For this show, they are Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Had A Dream About You Baby, Rank Strangers, & I Don't Believe You. Review (Monicasdude) : Although this disc is usually reported as including the complete concert, the final track has reportedly been edited to fit the performance onto a single CD. The same concert, with "To Ramona" omitted, circulates in higher quality on "Lake Compounce Festival Park". Oddly, KTS used the unedited version of the tracks as a spurious closing song for the 1988 concert on "Stuck Inside Of New York". |
