No content has been altered DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES vol 30 ------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Apr 1996 09:29:38 +0500 From: xyx Subject: DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES vol 30 © 1996 xyx (P) bobsboots.com Dylan's complete set at the Last Waltz, which included a delightful "Hazel" not issued as part of the official release. This mono soundboard is a tad below what you'd consider excellent, but the naked rawness and rough-edged feel more than make up for it. Funny how they decided to exclude "Hazel", as Dylan's opening number of "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" segues right into it nicely, the last note of "Baby" virtually becoming the first notes of "Hazel." Can't wait to check the editing on the official CD. Also included is the 'missing' verse from "Forever Young." According to Mr. Townsend, the official release "suffered" from considerable overdubbing - no such problem here. Remainder of Dylan's classic (albeit short) performance include "I Don't Believe You" and "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" reprise (so to speak). "I Shall be Released" is here also as a group effort and a fine one at that. The complete sets of Van Morrison, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell are included, and a HUGE bonus is the unissued "Acadian Driftwood" by the Band, featuring some very "rough sounding" verses from Richard Manuel. Another highlight is Clapton's "All Our Past Times." Nice job. Safe to say this is more "true sounding" than the official. © 1996 xyx (P) bobsboots.com |
