Review from http://www.bobsboots.com/CDs/cd-s16.html
"This disc represents the entire Dylan portion of the circulating mono soundboard recording.
It is believed that the entire show was recorded in stereo from the sound console.
Never to have surfaced are the show's two opening numbers, 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' and
'It Ain't Me, Babe'. The sound quality of the recording is as true and clean as any ever made
along the Rolling Thunder tour. The vocals are crisp, powerful, and on top of the mix.
All instruments are well balanced and represented in the overall sound. The 11th recording
made along the tour, this show was recorded on the 11th day of the 11th month .... and what
a magical mystery tour it is. The complex, though loose weaving and interacting of the
instruments and vocals create a beautiful tapestry that will not be matched on any tour
before or since. With the 'Desire' album to be released in a few weeks, Bob relies heavily
on it for the show material. The cryptic songs of desire and despair add another layer to
the thick blanket of mythography that is, was, and will forever be 'Rolling Thunder."

Excerpts from http://www.expectingrain.com/dok/rmd/xyx/60/beneath61.html#542:
"As or the show, well, it just does'nt get much better than this. The show seems loose and
spontaneous, like they're just blowin' into town to hit you with a lethal dose of (salvation)
& folk and roll that is chock full of mystery, history and a strange but interesting cast of
characters both in the songs and onstage. Dylan sings with wild abandon in some places (Hard Rain, Isis)
and with a soft, breathtaking beauty in others (Oh Sister, Sara). ..The acoustic set w/Joan
is worth the price of admission...What a unique sound Dylan put together for these shows.
Uncharacterizable, it seems, beyond simply calling it Dylan music. And he never sang better,
wrapping that voice of sand and glue (thanks, Bowie) around words and sounds like only he can,
getting inside the words and the whole language even, twisting and turning words & phrases into
something new and different each time, revealing more about these songs than anyone could or should expect."
