"In May 1988, Bob Dylan released Down In The Groove, his 25th studio album. While the disc did not receive good reviews, nor sell particularly well, Dylan launched a summer tour in support of the album. The 1988 tour marked a dramtic shift for Dylan in his live performances. Where in recent years, Dylan’s live shows often featured collaborations with high-profile artists such as Mick Taylor, the Grateful Dead, and Tom Petty, the 1988 run centered around a small, 'garage rock'-type combo, consisting of guitarist G.E. Smith , bassist Kenny Aaronson, and drummer Christopher Parker. Influenced by his time with the Grateful Dead, Dylan’s set list became more adventurous during this tour, with song selection varying from show to show. He also began to incorporate more traditional cover songs into the set lists. For Dylan, the 1988 concerts would be the start of what is now known as the Never Ending Tour, which is 3 and a half decades and over 3000 shows strong as 2023.. This soundboard recording captures Dylan during that historic 1988 tour, in Bristol Connecticut on September 4, 1988, 35 years ago today.” Speedy
This is really good and I am often surprised nay taken aback by the number of Dylan sets still meeting my quality standards. I have said in the past that many of the recordings from the soundboard of Dylan’s last decades of concerts are very bass heavy and unclear around the vocals (which do tend to need all the help they can get I grant you!) but this is a real beauty and well worth the listen and download!
