HOLD THE FORT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH 2CD (WILD WOLF) Complete
FT. Worth (Dylan portion), 16 May 1976 + various venues (see track list
below)
Tracks: 28 Time: 145+ Source: Soundboard/TV Quality: Excellent

The definitive Ft. Worth '76 show, presented in best ever,
pristine sound quality that lays waste to previous incarnations
of this material. The quintessential Rolling Thunder '76 tour
document, this does for RT76 what "Cowboy Angel Blues" did for
RT75. Unlike previous issues, this one is nicely appended with
"Hard Rain" from the TV special of the same name, the
blues-drenched rehearsal take of "The Sun Is Shining" and a
one-time only, transcendant performance of the classic Hank tune
"Weary Blues From Waitin'."

Some may question the wisdom of
"corrupting" Ft. Worth by injecting two non-Ft. Worth cuts into
the show (see tracklist), and for those folks there is always the
program button. Me, I'm glad to have 'em, no matter where they
"set," right maw? :-) The quality improvement is considerable
compared to previous releases, brighter, with more punch and
clarity, and less "noise."

After reading Peter Stone Brown's
celestial (or Jordanesque, or Dylanesque> pick one) review of
Bob's Tramps show of July 26, 1999, I am considering another line
of work, so you will not be seeing any "review," per se, of this
show. PSB "laid it all to waste" with his monumental account of
that gig, and all reviewers, myself included, are in
hiding contemplating their next move. If this were a basketball
game, PSB just scored 101 and broke Wilt's record ("what the fuck
is this guy talkin' about - just let us know about the show,"
they say). Shitgoddamn, I felt like I was there after reading
that Tramps review !!!!! You? (I can only imagine how "shriveled"
the "lamest of all-time" NY Post "Tramps-reviewer" would feel if
he "caught a glimpse of it" - you RMD readers know what I mean).
So, we'll be sending out our aqua-recruiters, who will attempt
to enlist Mr. PSB's services on behalf of future DEEPs, so we can
find out what's REALLY HAPPENING on these kinds of disks. Suffice
it to say that there's LOTS HAPPENING on "Hold the Fort For What
It's Worth" that you want to hear. Great cover, too!!!

Additions and corrections:

> However, some of this can't be right!!!
> 20) Silver Mantis
> There is NO PA tape of Silver Mantis. The previous version of
> HOLD THE FORT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH included an audience version
> from Ft Worth.

It is absolutely a PA tape, with no break whatsoever in the flow
from Lay Lady Lay and in the same quality. Perhaps the previous
version contained an audience tape but not this one.

> 21) I Want You
> Not done at Ft Worth! Is this from 18 may 76?
> 22) Going Gone Gone
> This is on the Ft Worth PA tape, so why include one from 18 may 76?

Good call.....the attribution on the tray card is wrong. It
should have stated that the "GoingGoingGone" was from Ft./ Worth
5/16 and the "I Want You" from Okla City 5/18.

> 24) Knockin' On Heaven's Door
> 25) Gotta Travel On
> There is NO Ft Worth PA tape of these tracks.
> So are they Ft Worth audience tracks as on the previous version
> of HOLD THE FORT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH?

Another good call...never got that far in listening, to be
honest, as I skipped right to Hard Rain & Weary Blues From
Waiting :-) It's obvious these two are audies.
