All Along The Watchtower 5:34.13 Received as audio discs second generation from taper. Flawless. Extracted by EAC and then renaming tracks and made FLAC for you. A great setlist. I was attending this show and may be a little biased, but to my ears a great performance and an excellent recording. The taper was not located very close to stage - but in my opinion he has been able to bring out the magic of the night - although my normal preference is a little warmer recordings. It's a bit on the sharp side - but with vocals brought right up front. Concert review by Amund Børdahl: The apparition of this face above the crowd: Mastering those words right here and now. Maggie's farm as an opener, but not as a warm-up. The man in black, his voice deep and distinguished. Concentration, diction. His musicians, notwithstanding their consistently solid constribution, with flashes of excellence: on a night like this they are his backing group. Even when the music flows without words, the singer draws all attention to him; his facial expression, his chaplinesque movements, his preparing himself for the next stanza, his overwhelming presence. Tell me that it isn't true: never heard it more beautifully performed, and this song is always beautiful. A so-called oh-would-that-he-played-that-song, and then he plays it perfectly, and rounds it off with a center stage harp. A magnifique Lay Lady follows I'll Be, then Most Likely, Blind Willie, Watching the River, all great, and Ballad of A Thin Man was never sung better: Oh my God, am I here all alone, pronounced like a line for boothunters. In brief, the first half of this concert is flawless. Compact brilliance. Floater follows, and stars begin to appear on the blue sky that has revealed itself behind the heavy red draperies. Don Herron plays the electric violin. I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes. I had them once, though I suppose. To go along with all the ring dancing, Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves. I left all my dreams and hopes buried under tobacco leaves. Maybe our ears are not fully trained yet for searching versions of L&T-songs, two more follow, surrounded by oldies so goldie that they cannot but not win the night, and upsinging, as it is called, is always a challenge, and few ears would appreciate upsinging throughout (it occasionally happens, you know), but somehow it adds to the show tonight, especially on Positively, another inspired, mm, heart-breaking version of that song. Masters of War my encore, not that I did enjoy the coda. Sure did. And the rest of the audience? The apparition of these faces in the crowd: Petals on a wet, black bough (Ezra Pound).
