Review from Bobsboots.com:
The story goes that special attention was paid this night to the performance and mixing,
as CBS had plans of releasing it as a live gospel LP. I don't know that the story has been
officially substantiated. The results, however, speak for themselves. This is one
incredible CD. The sound quality is nothing short of officially releasable quality. The
performance is breath taking. Dylan manages a few sparks from the hell-fire and
brimstone performances of the previous fall. This one is not to be missed. Even if you're
not a fan of the gospel material, you will sit back in amazement at one of the finest hours
of the maestro. The package photos are superb. The graphics are simple and elegant. If
there could be any complaint at all, it would be that the disc leaves you wanting more.
Indeed, this represents only half of the concert. Although not quite the quality, the entire
concert of the following night was released by Flashback as "The Born Again Music". For
the sake of confusion, there's a recording of the following night entitled "Solid Rock".
