In The Garden Blessed Be The Name Pressing On (3) Review: The first fourteen gospel concerts that Bob ever performed were all at San Francisco's Fox Warfield Theater. The next four were at the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica. This show is the fourth and final night of Santa Monica. So, while this is the eighteenth performance of the Gospel Tour, it's only the second venue that Dylan and the band have played. While this show was released as a commercial CDr nearly two decades earlier, this is the first appearance on silver disc. The Thinman has once again created a beautiful package with incredible period photos, and pleasing fonts, graphics and layout. The discs themselves are each offset printed with different concert photos from the tour that take up half of the disc. There are more images to be found on the liner and insert back. This is simply a great package. As for the music... I can't say enough about these gospel shows. They are among my favorite Dylan shows of all time. Every song is an incredible highlight. Dylan pours himself into these new songs like a man possessed... by the Holy Spirit. Of course, all shows are alike in content and format. The songs never change, the order never changes. To a casual fan, they can become tiresome. As for me, I can't get enough. Just to hear the different raps, intros and preaching that Bob does is worth owning every show. Bob performs every song from the Slow Train album, and every original song that would eventually appear on the Saved album except for the as yet unwritten Are You Ready. © 2008 CD Pinkerton bobsboots.com |
