Review:
This release contains
75 minutes of the commonly
circulating tapes from the
1978 Rundown
studio tour rehearsals in the best quality that has circulated to date.
The sessions were recorded directly from the soundboard on reel to
reel. This is a very low generation copy of the master tapes. Lots of
changed
lyrics and rare interpretations. As for the January material, there is
only a slight tape hiss (as would occur when playing a cassette). It is
slightly louder on the softer passages, but by no means does it intrude
on the recording. The transfer to digital was recorded hot, and leaves
the vocals and music high above the white noise level. Dylan's vocals,
as well as the harmony vocals are far above the music in the original
recordings, and cut like a knife. This could easily be released
officially with only some slight manipulation of the original tape,
and alone is worth the price of the disc. The package aesthetics and
images are wonderful. Highly recommended.
