However, the sound quality itself is fully mirrored this time. You can enjoy the appearance of Dylan who challenges the stage lively with a new catalyst called GE Smith with a powerful sound image. In addition, it is interesting that even though the famous song started at the beginning of “Mr Tambourine Man”, Millard warned the audience to start talking, saying “Listen!” In other words, it was also a recording containing his own voice.
In addition, 1988, which was a new heyday for Dylan, can be said to be a masterpiece mass production tour, and Dylan was actually super excited on this day as well.
First of all, “Absolutely Sweet Marie” has Dylan’s engine fully open as you can hear it, and this is a tremendous momentum shout. From there, it feels like it’s skipping to “Driftin’ Too Far From Shore”, and it’s a crisp performance that’s different from the studio version of the same song. This is a typical scene of 1988, but maniacs should be absolutely satisfied just by listening to the wonderful performance of this early stage with powerful sound pressure.
Still, the acoustic corner opens with a rare song selection called “Song To Woody” that makes maniacs cry, and Dylan’s singing voice is powerful there. In 1988, his intense singing that makes you want to call it a unique “power singing method” is also attractive, but the engine full-throttle singing is also vividly captured with mirrored quality. It is GE Smith’s guitar that cuts into it, and I am reminded that 1988 is a special time.
“I no longer care about the recording problems I mentioned earlier.” Rather, it is a new mirrored sound source that can be confidently pushed that the charm of this tour is sufficiently confined even if such a place is put aside. Record of Dylan in 1988 by Mike Millard who finally appeared. Please enjoy the performance of him and the band in great condition with a powerful and superb audience!
