NOTE: A substantially superior version of the material first released as Oh The Streets of Rome. This relatively obscure
release was quickly cloned as the better known Live At Palaeur, to which the excerpted comments were
originally directed.
DEEP: This new edition presents the show in fuller, more balanced sound than the tinny, thin-sounding original release. This set has more bottom, and while Mick Taylor is still not front and center in the mix he is more "in play." Dylan's vocal sound is extraordinarily clear and defined, and his lyrical improvisations are on dazzling display. The performance as a whole is a joy to behold. A wonderful set.
rmd: A gorgeous presentation. The sound is fantastic, clean and balanced, and the performance is quite impressive, strong and careful though certainly not overly cautious. A very masculine affair from beginning to end; it oozes anger, disdain, and pride. (DM)
