Comments
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!
