Notes from original uploader:
Complete rehearsals for the summer ’87 tour when Bob
Dylan sang as part of the Grateful Dead.

There are some real gems here. Many of these tracks are duplicated and/or superfluous (unless you’re a completist), but the performances are different enough in either band quality or tape quality to not warrant skipping over *too* much….although there are some real head-scratchers here…hey, it’s a rehearsal bootleg, so…

Just a few of the many highlights:
– the Dead bringing to life that forgotten Shot of Love track Dead Man, Dead Man. I’ve never heard it like this before, *yow*!
– you wanna talk Basement Tapes? The French Girl!
– Joey – totally passionate.
– Jer on the banjo for Rollin’, John Hardy, Oh Boy, and a couple others. So much fun!
– TANGLED UP IN BLUE. Faaaaaack – this is just downright *funk-a-delic*. Ever hear outright danceable Dylan? Not until you’ve heard this mother – crankkkkkk it up! The Wicked Messenger follows a bit later in this same, totally groovy vein.
– Bob sings the Boy in the Bubble, Jerry sings the (2nd) Senor.
– Around Under Your Spell the tape quality actually does take on more Basement Tapes-like sound – a bit ragged, but still listenable.
– Kristofferson’s They Killed Him. Absolutely devastating stuff. Another lost-in-the-80s track.

These rehersals seemed more focused and energetic than the release, or any of the other tapes that exist. Get it!
