This is the 11th show with Bob Dylan and former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor.
This is another very good bordering on great show and in great quality. Parts of it are
fantastic. The crowd is very vocal on this one yelling out for songs such as (this one
amazes me since this song had just been written less than a year before and was never
released until years later) “Blind Willie McTell,” “Solid Rock,” and even the Rolling
Stones / Mick Taylor classic “Time Waits For No One” (at the end of track 3, disc 2).
Also someone yells out at the end of the first acoustic set “Where is the Band,” which is
quite a tribute to them as Dylan was putting on a great solo performance at the time.
Taylor plays a fantastic solo on Greg Suttons “Imagination.” The setlist is fairly typical.
“Man of Peace” is included this night (replaces “Simple Twist of Fate”) and is really one
of the better versions of it. “Why Do I Have To Choose” is interesting because Taylor
opts NOT to play slide on it (he plays the second solo on it this night). Santana as usual
ruins every song he plays on with his bad tone and solos that do not fit in with the music.
One interesting thing that happened was that “All Along the Watchtower” was played
twice this night. Once in it’s usual spot in the show and then as the last song. Also,
Santana’s conga players are on the last couple of songs. Right now is the 20th anniversaryof those shows and I thought it would be cool to release each show to STG on the date of
the actual show plus 20 years. So, here is the eleventh show; only 16 more!!! We’ll see
if I can keep up with the rest of the tour. No artwork, enjoy

These 84 Dylan shows are wonderful. The band that was so hot they never played the States. 😉
I recall these all showing up on DIME 20 years to the day after the show back in 2004. I was able to grab most of them though I missed a few and lost several more via drive loss in the ensuing years. Big thanks for you presenting some of them on your site! Thank you!
You are very welcome.
Thanks Mat. Went to the football stadium gig in Newcastle UK. First time I had seen His Royal Bobness. Got a dodgy VHS video tape of it.
Gotta love those dodgy VHS videos!
