The slimline jewel cases houses two plain red discs that are identical other than the disc number. The package is first class from the fonts to the beautiful photos and images, and from the color scheme to the layout. These guys know how to make a package. The title is only slightly misleading. This was just another concert along the 1986 Dylan Petty tour. The subtitle is "Pre-Broadcast Master". In actuality, the second annual Dylan inspired Farm Aid concert was being performed and broadcast live from Austin, Texas by VH-1 and its radio partners. VH-1 had also prearranged to set up cameras at the Dylan - Petty show in New York. At the appropriate time, the live feed was switched to NY, and Petty and Dylan were seen live as a seamless splice into the Farm Aid concert. This set represents nearly the entire night's performance taken directly from the soundboard. It's incredible quality. The first song of the night, So Long, Good Luck And Goodbye is not included for time limitation reasons, but that's no great loss. It's a weak cover song that has been out on boot before. Harder to forgive, the final Knockin' On Heaven's Door is also absent. It is a beautiful duet with Petty that hasn't surfaced to silver, and would have been a better choice to include than many other songs here, the show starts in full gear with Bob spitting out 4th Street with a venom. Clean Cut Kid, however, is a lost cause. It's played at twice the tempo that it was recorded, and the groove is completely gone. The girls can't get their lines in, and Dylan struggles to several times. There are several highlights, though. The solo songs are nice and One Too Many Mornings is simply beautiful, and my choice for the highlight of the show. On the last word of each line, Bob sings a four note melody within the one word, and it is spellbinding to listen to. Just before he begins, there is a particular girl in the audience that catches his eye. He walked toward her, bent down and picked up a frisbee that the crowed had landed on stage, and threw it to her. He flashed her a huge smile, and then poured out this incredible song.
