received from HCE MMG, who writes on the card: ” a daud, not a sdb!”. claims he received from
the person who taped. Dont know. I was always a bit suspicious of this tape. Dont think it was
originally taped on dat, but analog. However it does have some suspicious edits, and it was taped
at a festival, so there is always a chance it was taped with shotguns, from a high spot,aimed
at the top of the stacks.The drums seem to suffer from echo. People used to try to make fake sdbs
back then..and it does sound like its been eq’ed/

On the other hand its steady all the way, the audience is very distant.
There is talk among the band members at times. Dont know.
Its not an FM. It was broadcast on some small radio station in the NE a few weeks after the
show took place, but not an FM.
Dont know.

    Review:
    A crisp stereo soundboard recording that was actually broadcast in part by WHCN, Hartford, in 1989. A great looking package as well. The cover photo is a 1988 promotional shot used by Aquarius Pictures for the Hearts Of Fire film. The back shows Bob at his January 1988Hall Of Fame induction show. Even though this stereo PA tape is super quite with little to no audience; this is one of those performances that’s just hard to get too excited about. Bob sings as if he’s a caricature of himself. He exaggerates all the ‘Dylan nuances’, forgets the entire first verse of I Don’t Believe You, and mumbles God knows what. You can’t get by with that on this clean of a soundboard tape. His heart just doesn’t seem in it. An acoustic To Ramona was performed after Highway 61 Revisited, but needed to be eliminated to allow the show to fit onto one disc. Unfortunately, this was the most expressive, heartfelt song of the show (but not by much). If your only goal, however, is to find a great sounding 1988 soundboard, this is the one.
