DEEP: Dylan's complete set at the Last Waltz, including a
delightful "Hazel" not issued as part of the official
release. This mono soundboard is a tad below what you'd consider
excellent but the naked rawness and rough-edged feel more than make
up for it. Also included is the "missing" verse from
"Forever Young." The official release suffered from
considerable overdubbing - no such problem here. The complete sets
by Van Morrison, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell are also included,
and as a huge bonus the unissued "Acadian Driftwood" by
the Band and Eric Clapton's "All Our Past Times." Nice
job, safe to say this is more "true sounding" than the
official release.
