DEEP: The first glass-mastered release from the recently
surfaced Hollywood Bowl tape. If I may, the cover, a 1965 color
close-up of Dylan's head in front of a microphone, is absolutely
stunning. Quality is very good, same quality as the initial CDR
release Western Electric. The show
provides a revealing look at Dylan at
the height of his unique powers during the acoustic set, which is
compelling and IMO a more inspired performance than the '65 UK
shows or even the '64 acoustic sets, for that matter. The electric
set is a different story. You can sense the tentative, apprehensive
nature of the performance, with the reins pulled back a bit and the
confident, headlong burst into the fire that would characterize the
'66 shows not yet in evidence. In any case, this one's a must, a
major link in understanding the chain. Nice package with the
previously mentioned cover and artwork all around.
