Lineage for this torrent would be: Silver CDs -> EAC -> FLAC

I saw this one request in a Patti Smith torrent a few weeks ago. I’ve been collecting silver bootlegs since 1996 (mainly Bob Dylan but a few others as well) and plan to digitize them over the next coming year(s?) I thought this would be a good one to start with. Also one of the first I bought if my memory serves me well. Anyway, it’s a very nice audience recording released by the in those days legendary Razor’s Edge label.

A review of this title can be found at BobsBoots: http://www.bobsboots.com/CDs/cd-p35.html

This package is chock full of great looking photos, graphics, and overall aesthetics. The 2 CD set contains not only the final show of the year, but one of the best. Dylan rips into the vocals with a vengeance. They are well up front, but still not too far above the music as to sound out of place. The music is tight, crisp, and well mixed. 1995 Didn’t start off well for Dylan, but it got better and better, and culminated with this incredible double billing with Patti Smith. Highlights include a reworked It’s All Over Now Baby Blue. Tony uses a bow on the acoustic upright, and creates the feel of a classical work. Dylan’s phrasing is unique, and adds a new flavor to the mix. Dark Eyes is sung beautifully by Patti. Dylan sings harmony, and does it fairly well!
