Review:
This set has been previously released as Lonesome Town on the Japanese Watchtower label. However, Rattlesnake has corrected the problems that were evident on that release. The sound is more upfront and dynamic, and the mix (which was at times muddy, with distant vocals on Lonesome Town) is now perfect. To my ears, the tape speed problems are also absent. It's a full step up in quality from an already fine soundboard to an astounding one. It's a great performance, with Dylan rocking and rolling throughout. The vocals are powerful and commanding on every song. He's even quite talkative between numbers! The packaging is superlative (even for Rattlesnake) It's beautifully designed, and full of wonderful photos. The only gripe would be that the source is incorectly attributed to Adeladeon the back cover*
This is a must have disc, and comes very highly recommended.

Note:
* There has been some debate as to whether the initial attribution of Sydney, Australia February 24, 1986 was correct, (which could explain why the date & venue is wrong on this release) with some people even suggesting that the discs were a compilation of various soundboard sources, passed off by the label as a single complete show. It has now been discovered that the initial venue listing of Sydney, Australia February 24, 1986 is indeed correct and that the 'Lonesome Town' and 'True Confessions For Carol' discs DO contain the COMPLETE show and are NOT compiled from various sources.
