BOB DYLAN 1986

This is worth downloading and though we haven't recommended any Bob Dylan lately and the period covered by this with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers we have sampled elsewhere, this set is a real curio and fascinating artistic document if ever there was one. Not least because it is legendary from the point of view of being almost unlistenable for the audience at the venue. Listen and check out the notes to see what I mean






Big O say:

BOB DYLAN & TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS
Minneapolis 1986 [Charlie Miller Soundboard, 2CD]Live at the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome, Minneapolis, MN; June 26, 1986. Very good soundboard.

Thanks to Charlie Miller; Rick Pavek; and billydee for sharing the show at Dime.
billydee noted:
Tape flips in Breakdown and In The Garden. Thanks Rick Pavek and, of course, Charlie Miller for all he does!
Regtrademark, Dime:
WOW! This an incredible find. This is the rare case where the tape sounds 100 times better than what the audience heard at the concert! This was the worst sounding show I ever attended. It was the first concert ever put on at the Metrodome, the sound bounced around so much you couldn’t make out anything. I always suspected that I had seen a great performance, but who could tell? There was an audience tape that accurately captured how crappy it sounded in the seats, but now THIS! Thanks!…
I was there and that old tape was what it actually sounded like in the Thunderdome. This new soundboard sounds great, though.
