Various Artists – Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 25

Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 25 – You Can Always Come Back, But You Can’t Come Back All the Way

To those of you who wanted more NSD, here you go. For those who didn’t, why are you reading this? Big thanks to Sherm, who got in touch out of the blue with “Things Have Changed,” inspiring me to compile another volume.

As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the nice folks who’ve sent me recordings, the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). If you’ve got something good, PM me. I suspect more volumes will follow, albeit infrequently.

Enjoy!

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
For the final night of the NYE run, after missing out on the lottery for New Years tickets, we decided to set up camp in my friend Ron’s living room in Oakland and record the show from the KFOG FM Broadcast. I called my friend Gene, a taper who lived in Pennsylvania at the time and would later purchase a Sony TCD-D10 DAT recorder, because he was giving a NYE party and did not live in range of a station that carried the nationwide broadcast. I tipped him off to the ‘Let The Good Times Roll’ opener because he had a bet going as to what song the Dead would open with on New Years, so I called him long distance as soon as the first set started. This was the second show that I recorded with my new D6 that I had gotten for Christmas in 1988. Thanks mom!!!

I thought that the drum solo for the ’88 NYE show was really cool, with the addition of Olatunji, Sikiru Adepoju , and Kitaro.

Though I had tried for the lottery mail order for NYE tickets starting in 1986, it wouldn’t be until New Years ’89 that I would actually get tickets. 1988 was the last Grateful Dead NYE show that I would record off the radio, because I had the privilege of being at the show for the 1989, 1990, and 1991 NYE shows. Unfortunately, I was not able to record the 1991 New Years show because once I got inside the Coliseum I found that people had ‘reserved’ the entire tapers section with coats placed over the seats, so we ended up sitting up in the nosebleed seats and leaving my recording gear in the bag. That was kind of a bummer show because Bill Graham had recently died and they just showed films of past NYE shows.

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

Notes from the original uplader: First off, I don’t know how this compares to the other copies that have circulated because I’ve never heard them. This is by no means perfect. There was some drama. The Weir set through the mid-point of Stop That Train, the mics were on a stand @ 7’ at which point, we got busted. We were lucky enough to hand security a blank tape so most of the set is salvaged. After they left, we started the rig back up and hand held from Like A Road until the end. I used “…” above to denote fades. Disc one and two are the affected discs. Disc three is pretty solid start to finish and worth the listen for sure. Killer Show! It sounds surprisingly upfront and present for lawn and barley any chatter during the Jerry sets.
