Comments
Could have been better
I think this really could have been good if they would have had more time to be a band together. The rehearsals and shows all happened in a few weeks and I think there were only 6 shows. Everyone seems to like "Queen Jane" and it's probably because The Dead used to play this song alot in their own shows, so they were very familiar with it. On the Grateful Dead album "Postcards..." there is a rehearsal from these shows of "Man Of Peace" that is really good. I've heard that the rehearsals were much better than the shows.
D&D
Still love every groove !!
ehh
Queen Jane is cool because it's a rarity at this point. They shoulda put out his concerts at New York that go under the boots Stuck Inside of New York becuase that is the start of his ressurgance. That would have been a better live album.
So-So
I bought this when it first came out, and haven't listened to it much since. I don't think it's one of Mr. D's better live efforts. I think Real Live is so much better. I do like the version of Queen Jane Approximately on here, though.
SLUMDOG Listenable. Don't
SLUMDOG
Listenable. Don't like the rock version of Joey and Knocking On Heavens Door is poor.
The rest is ok.
Not a bad album, I love the
Not a bad album, I love the version of Slow Train and I want You's not bad either.
We Like Bob, So We Like This, But . . .
I like Queen Jane on here, but I am not sure if it is possible to mix his voice lower, turn his mic lower or whatever they did, but he doesn't come through at all, and maybe that was on purpose. I think everyone was probably clamoring for this due to some of the recent disappointments, and this one didn't exactly put him back on the map.

Better Deas than Dylan
This is The Grateful Dead doing Bob Dylan covers with the man himself singing lead. Fair enough, but probably better Dead than Bob.
Different
It's a different live album, maybe too short to imagine it as a show. Dylan wasn't in a good moment. He doesn't sing well, it's hard to hear sometimes, he misses the words or it's difficult to understand... But The Grateful Dead does a great job and makes the album interesting. My favourite is Queen Jane Approximately.
I was happy to attend part
I was happy to attend part of the recording of this album. I was there in Foxboro, MA on 7/4/87. I really like how he sang "I Want You."
It was also the day I was introduced to "Slow Train Coming."
The Slow Train album and Saved became my favorites. That is the gopel rock Mr. Dylan did. I was really a big dead head then too when this was recorded. I saw them like 30 times from 1987-1990.
It was a great show!
