It's been a while since we've had an officially released Dylan collector's item. Sony Japan has done a limited-edition run of a stellar Dylan live retrospective. It features six songs which have never been released, five that have never been issued on any of Dylan's albums, one from a promo only album, one that is a cassette-only B-side, and assorted others. Many of the tunes are familiar, some aren't, but the selection is eclectic and wonderfully compiled. The set opens with a bluegrass version of the old gospel tune "Somebody Touched Me," recorded in 2000, followed immediately by a reading of "Wade in the Water" from 1961.

This album is a literal encyclopedia, and apprenticeship for the blues guitarist! There is no date listed as to when this was recorded, but Robben shows who he is this night and one can only guess what an illustrious carrer he has awaiting him. He shows the importance of the minor 6th scale, and his Mike Bloomfield influence shows strongly. Jimmy Witherspoon a man who needs no introduction, and is missed sadly today by many, displays his usual, dazzling charm, and stage presence.
