Bob Dylan - Afternoon Acoustic Sony Music Studios, New York City, Nov. 16, 1994 Track 14: MTV Unplugged (New York, NY); November 17, 1994 Label: Wild Wolf / 11/17/94 Audio Source: soundboard Lineage: Silver - XLD - FLAC 8 Number of Discs: 1 Artwork: scans of the original artwork as 300 dpi PNGs included Total running time: 70m 14s Notes: DEEP: Sublime quality, sourced from a splendid videotape of the performance. Only a rehearsal but a most enjoyable listen warranting repeated plays. Hard to believe our good fortune at what turns up out of the blue. NOTE: The rehearsal of "Tombstone Blues" ends with several attempts at a satisfactory ending. The division of this rehearsal segment into discrete tracks varies among the circulating CD/R versions of this recording, but the actual audio material does not vary. http://www.angelfire.com/wa/monicasdude/722.htm Review: An excellent soundboard recording, taken from the video which began to circulate shortly beforehand. The performances (being rehearsals), are not as polished as the final 'unplugged' broadcast. Dylan fluffs many lyrics, and there's quite a bit of down-time between songs, when instruments are tuned and things are worked out. But, there are some great moments there too - in particular the second take of I Want You (track 5) where we are treated to an accidental solo acoustic guitar - drums, and vocals performance after what appears to be a partial power cut. The talk between songs is interesting as well. You get to hear Dylan and the band working out various arrangements. The rendition of Hazel features a rather ragged harmonica solo, which was later ommited from the final arrangement. Dylan answers the question from a band member "One bridge or two?" with "I don't know, we'll decide that later...what about no harmonica solo?" Perhaps not an essential release, but a fascinating addition to the official MTV Unplugged release and the Completely Unplugged CD. This Wild Wolf release features one more track than the all but the same Rattlesnake disc, Love Minus Zero/No Limit. This is not part of the rehearsal tape, but is the version from the actual performance that was included on the official CD release in Japan and Europe, but not in the USA. Therefore, it's actually a pirate track. http://bobsboots.com/CDs/cd-a52.html Info: 15755 Sony Music Studios, New York City, New York 15–16 November 1994 Camera rehearsals for MTV Unplugged taping sessions.
