Label : Crystal Cat Records

Venue : Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo, Japan

Date : April 4, 2014

Quality : audience recording (A+)

Review (Collector's Music Reviews) : The Crystal Cat label have returned and this time they've gone Far East. "Zepp Diversity, Tokyo 2014" was recorded on the 4th night of Bob Dylan's Japanese tour, Friday the 4th of April. For anyone keeping score, this was the night that Dylan pulled a surprise out of his hat and dropped 'Huck's Tune' into the set. The cat has been very clever with his artwork this time, dropping in a little Eastern flavour in to the mix too - from a sample we've heard, we can confirm the sound is fantastic.

Review : Excellent audience recording of Dylan's 4th night in Tokyo. The bonus tracks come from the first show and from the 7th night when Bob moves to the piano for "Beyond here lies nothing". In the middle of the song we can hear a loud noise, for my opinion coming from Charlie's guitar but who knows? Tony puts his hands on in ears and they disconnect the guitars and stop the song...shit! Bob doesn't panic and start a little tune on the piano joined by Donnie on banjo. Some five minutes before the technicians come to Bob (to explain it will take a while to find the problem?) and Bob leaves the stage with the Band. Some minutes later Stu crosses the stage to pick up an acoustic guitar. We believe he will do a little song! but no, he comes back to put the guitar on his support. Alright! Stu will come back on stage, and we hear Stu! Stu! here and there. He's clowning around; trying the drums then Bob's piano, disappearing again. Charlie will pass by also. I hear "Charlie!" "Charlie!" He crosses the stage and disappear on the left. Then...Bob comes on my right accompanied by George. They move to that white guitar lying right in front George drums. They seam to be in a heavy discussion about that guitar and both disappear on the left on the stage. Woa! kind of funny! The only one who is not clowning is Tony. He seems seriously concerned! We don't see Donnie. Bob's crew and Japanese technicians are working hard to find the problem. Four of them crawled underneath the piano, paradoxically a Yamaha! They change some cables and Jules ask Jason to adjust the volume of the mics (the center mic and the piano mic). Some 25 minutes later they take the stage again.
