"This is by far the best audience recording of a [Rolling Thunder] show, far eclipsing the Toronto tracks available
on "Flagging Down the EEs" and easily setting the standard for a 75/76 audience tape of Rolling Thunder, IMO. The sound knocks me out -  every nuance of voice and music is intact, Bob's vocals ring loud and clear (yes, even at very high volumes) and the recording retains a warmth that is unusual for a mid 70's tape. This one was worth the wait. Need I mention the performance? To me, these '75 gigs are arguably the most memorable of a career filled with memorables (sic). You gotta hear the guitar (Ronson?) on Hattie Carroll to believe it. Dylan's vocals rip at the heart of injustice and the guitar IS Hattie
Carroll's screaming anguish. Incredible stuff. The duets with Baez are superb. MamaYouBin is a shi*-kicking foot stomper.The band weaves a unique stew of rock-folk-country-Arabian-blues and seemingly creates a new type of music along the way - just call it Dylan. The solo acoustic tunes are incredibly sung,  filled with sorrow and pain and regret and longing - Love-0, SimpleTwist, OhSister.  Scarlett Rivera's violin is nothing short of remarkable - it's amazing how the "Desire" sound is recreated on stage by all the musicians. It just meshes, this traveling troupe of musicians and the king of the troubadors, blowing into NYCity and playing their asses off for Rubin Carter. OneMoreCup/Sara/JLAW - divine, all.  This one sits nicely
with the boards from this leg - Waterbury, Plymouth & Boston - and is a real stunner.  Not to be missed."

"This particular package is as good a sound quality as any...Recorded from an audience tape made with mid-1970s amateur equipment, it's still one of the best quality Rolling Thunder shows available. The vocals are up front, warm, and clear. The band is well mixed and flowing & tumbling down in the  groove with a unique folk-rock rolling thunder sound that has not been captured since the tour."
