The discs themselves are plain, and would have looked much nicer with a Dylan silk screen. The reason behind this esoteric label, as is most always the case, is to shield the true identity and content of the discs from any authoritative eyes. The sound quality is good, but not quite up to par with contemporary releases. It is a stereo audience recording that is slightly too bass heavy. This heavy bass sound is a common problem that haunts many new boot manufacturers. Japanese shows always have a different feel to them. This is due to the subdued nature of the audience. All artists feed off of audience response. When the response is polite, quiet and respectful; that's the energy that the performer returns. Bob does not play harp at this show, but instead, concentrates on guitar. The guitar work is very nice with the show highlight being a great version of the 1964 Elizabeth Cotten song O Babe It Ain't No Lie. The highlight of the package is the incredibly well chosen and well performed bonus tracks. The claim to fame of this release is that it was on the streets just a few weeks after the show © 2006 CD Pinkerton / bobsboots.com |
