Play sample :
Bob Dylan’s performance in Japan this time was virtually turned into a dead cover tournament, which surprised maniacs all over the world as well as Japan, but even so, Dylan continued to stick to playing what he did. is their “Brokedown Palace”.
I’m sure many of you have heard about the scene of the premiere in UXBRIDGE’s “TOKYO 2023 3RD NIGHT”, which is already on sale, but even in the same “AMERICAN BEAUTY”, “Truckin'” was so smooth (even as a band). It was a tune that was easy to listen to), whereas this one was performed on a whim? It was a fact that it seemed like it was.
It was enough to surprise maniacs all over the world just by showing off such an improvised new repertoire by Dylan while the set list was fixed for the past few years, but the performance of that day was dangerous. That’s why he quickly moved on to “Melancholy Mood” (which was actually a rare revival these days).
However, Dylan, who could not give up on “Brokedown Palace”, tried the same song again at the end of the live on the last day in Tokyo. Certainly, it’s only natural that he would want to sing the famous ballad of “AMERICAN BEAUTY” following a relaxed number like “Mother of Muses.”
In fact, Dylan began singing with a lot of passion and the band worked hard to match, but when the song approached the third song, Dylan’s song became suspicious, and naturally the band couldn’t hide their anxiety.
Even so, Dylan decided to continue singing somehow, so he stopped singing and tried to bridge the gap with the piano, but he failed. I thought that the performance would stop, but I survived this place by the brute force of moving from there to “Goodbye Jimmy Reed”.
It’s also interesting that the audience got excited by witnessing such a rare happening medley. In a sense, it’s all the more so because “God” showed us a human-like appearance on stage.
As a result, the interesting development that “Brokedown Palace” and “Goodbye Jimmy Reed” are played in a medley state also shows a freedom that cannot be imagined in the recent set list fixed situation, and once again all over the world It was supposed to surprise maniacs. Is this the name of injury?
The final day in Tokyo, which once again surprised maniacs around the world, was captured by an excellent audience.
“TOKYO 2023 2ND NIGHT”, also known as “Truckin’ Day”, which was released at the same time this time, also had a tremendous recording quality, but this one has a perfect sound quality that goes even higher. The sound quality that makes you wonder “why not press?” is a level that can be recommended from beginners to enthusiasts with confidence.
The closeness of Dylan’s singing voice, of course, and the backing band are captured in a truly wonderful balance. Please listen to the deep sound quality. Although it is released on CD-R like “2ND NIGHT”, it still guarantees outstanding sound quality!
Uxbridge 1916
