"This is a re-release of the 1992 KTS CD entitled 'Stadiums of the Damned' A great release from the start, this unknown Label has gone KTS one better by eliminating much of the white noise, and bringing out the music a tad more to give the CD a smoother, more natural feel"

Review: 
This is a re-release of the 1992 KTS CD entitled 'Stadiums of the Damned' A great release from the start, this unknown Label has gone KTS one better by eliminating much of the white noise, and bringing out the music a tad more to give the CD a smoother, more natural feel. The package and aesthetics are not quite as nice as the earlier release (being simply a cardboard slip case), but the sound quality improvement makes this one a winner. The above two 'grayed out' songs from the concert have yet to turn up among collectors. Of course, as with it's benefactor, the songs are all edited in and out. 
Concert Review 
Dylan delivers a knock-out performance. The gospel material is powerful and biting without a condescending edge. The older standards are performed with a new fire and passion that includes them among the best live versions to date. Dylan stumbles on the lyrics once or twice, but adds new lines as well that more than compensate. The vocals are crisp are over the top out front and in your face. The music is tight, well mixed, and well performed.

"I Shall Be Released" - Bob Dylan & The Band & Guests (Live)

Chatter is more or less drowned out by the music, Very good recording. IMO, a very fine concert, piano addition is super. Hurray, the ¨IOT¨ has finally been replaced! (Well, almost.) Piano adds a wonderful jazzy feel to the songs. IMO, Bob has reinvented himself once again. Some excellent new arrangements. Can't Wait, Cry A While, Love Sick, Hi 61, are just a few. One helluva show! 

Audience recording: Church Audio CA-11's > Church Audio STC-9000 > Sony PCM-M10 > Soundforge 9 (44.1khz/16bit) > Traders little helper (Flac level 8) > You

Recorded from in front of left stack, between stage and soundboard.
Some wind noise and crowd chatter throughout but perfectly listenable.
Enjoy!

Ballad Of A Thin Man, Charlotte, North Carolina, 1978-12-10

Bob Dylan - Sarah

  Tell Ol’ Bill Sessions (Thinman-35)

Studio 4, Conshohocken, PA – June 17th, 2005

1-12 Tell Ol’ Bill – sessions  13.  Tell Ol’ Bill – final version

The film North Country is “a semi-fictionalized account of a long legal battle of group of women miners who endured a hostile work environment and numerous and continuous insults and unwanted touching when they became the first women to go work at the Eveleth Mines in Minnesota”, according to the plot summary on the international movie data base.  The soundtrack contains many Dylan songs including “Lay Lady Lay”, “Sweetheart Like You”, “Do Right To Me Baby (Do Unto Others)”, “Paths of Victory”, and of course “Girl Of The North Country”.  “Tell Ol’ Bill” is the only original song on the soundtrack and is Dylan’s first original song since the release of 2001′s Love And Theft.  The song occurs several times throughout the film and refers to the character Bill White, the lawyer played by Woody Harrelson who represented the women in the lawsuit. 

This tape contains more than an hour of the run-throughs with Dylan and his touring band in pristine quality.  It first surfaced on the internet in August and is one of the most exciting tapes to appear in a long time.  These are the first Dylan outtakes to circulate since the Oh Mercy sessions surfaced many years ago.  The tape begins with the tail end of a run through which stops with Bob complaining he can’t hear Stu’s part and Elana not being able to hear anything at all. 

“Let’s forget all of the turnarounds…and make it thick.”  The third track has two run-throughs, the first being slower heavier with more force on the beats followed by the first verse again in a quicker tempo with Dylan saying it “breathes better when the instruments come in with the vocal…And we’ll put a turnaround back in”.  This version also contains extra lyrics not in the final version:  ”From white to green, from brown to black / Not one more minute can I waste / They go too far, they drive me mad / At a slow and steady pace”.  The fourth track contains the band working on the breaks and discussing the tempo before another full run through on track five.

The previous versions of the song were played in Db but this is played in Bb with the song ending with Dylan saying, “yea we did the stop good” and wanting to change everything about it including playing it in a minor key.  The sixth track is a rehearsal in Bbm which ends in some discussion.  Track seven is a full run through in the minor key which sounds very much like “Man Gave Names To All The Animals” from Slow Train Coming.  On track eight they go back to the major key and give the song a different shuffle rhythm before a full run through in track nine in Ab with Dylan saying “that sounded very good from here!” 

The tenth track is very similar to the ninth in the same key but with a softer drumbeat.  Track eleven goes to the key of Db with the piano sounding higher in the mix and Dylan clearing his throat and ending with him saying he can’t sing in this key.  They change the key back to Bb and play a run through.  Thinman include the finished version at the very end making this a very comprehensive, nicely packaged release of this fascinating tape.
