This one’s from draftervoi at the Wagon and they say: We've got 300 dpi scans of the cue sheet, all six disc labels, a newspaper print ad for a ticket broker that proves Winwood played two nights at Great Woods Performing Arts Center on August 21 and 22, 1988.  There's no evidence which date (or if both) was the source of the recording. 

This set of tracks was broadcast three times by Westwood One.  The first broadcast was 88-G broadcast in December 1988, followed by this show (89-23), and then the final broadcast as 90-03.  I put up 89-23 back in 2013 and it's still up in our archives. If you've got that one, you don't need this version unless you want to collect 'em all for the commercials.  I've tossed in the print ad for 88-G, even though this isn't from that particular syndication.

DYLAN OF THE DAY :: "Under the Red Sky" Bob Dylan [ Great Woods, Mansfield, MA, September 12, 1993]

 

the Facebook poster notes 

"Under the Red Sky" is one of several songs on Dylan's 1990 album "Under the Red Sky" that sounds quite a bit like a fairy tale - albeit a rather disturbing or at least unsettling one. I can't help wondering if this characteristic of his a number of his lyrics at the time was at least somewhat related to the fact that his daughter Desiree was a young child at that time. Despite its mild, innocent-sounding start, the song wanders through some rather sad, forlorn-sounding twists and turns. Although even at the start, the "red sky" that hangs over the little boy's and little girl's alley does sound kind of foreboding. 

When I ponder the song's story, I also can't help being reminded of an anecdote I read a number of years ago, which described how for a while, Bob kept dropping into one of his grandson's kindergarten class to play for the kids. The children used to call him "scary guitar man" and after a while, the teacher asked his grandson's parent to tell him to please not come anymore, because the songs he sang frightened the children and made some of them cry. 

Makes you wonder what exactly he was playing for the little ones. Probably not "Froggie Went A-Courtin' or "This Old Man," both of which Dylan recorded for release. I hope it wasn't something like "Precious Angel," with this verse: "Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high When men will beg God to kill them and they won’t be able to die?"
