ROCK SOLID
Junkyard Angel 004 [T-608]
Massey Hall (Toronto, ON); April 19, 1980 (line)
Tracklist: Gotta Serve Somebody, Covenant Woman, When You Gonna
Wake Up, Precious Angel, Slow Train, Solid Rock, In The Garden,
Cover Down Break Through
NOTE: The first seven tracks on this disc reportedly make up Solid Rock, a live album compiled by Dylan but rejected by Columbia. The final track, incorrectly sourced on the cover slips, comes from the same April 19 performance as the other songs. However, "Cover Down" was apparently not slated for the planned LP.
DEEP: Not much need be said about this terrific sounding
set, allegedly the unreleased live album considered for official
release way back when. The sound is as close to official release
quality as you are likely to hear. The performances of the gospel
material are breathtaking, Dylan's singing never better and his
conviction awe-inspiring. Essential stuff.
rmd: I think this is Bob's greatest album ever, unreleased
or not. Great performance and crystal clear sound.
rmd: Stunning quality "official" live recording
that never actually made it to release. The performances are superb
and committed.
