Review:
The two and a half hours of music on this set represent the full show of the 16th, and all but two songs from the 17th. The two missing songs are Silvio and Roving Gambler. Silvio is not one of my favorite songs, and it was played the night before, but Gambler is another story. The acoustic song is quite nice, and the only performance of the venue should have been included. This is a minor quibble, though. Overall, it's hard to knock this title, as this is one of Thinman's strongest releases to date. The photos are very nice, the information seems to be correct, the overall aesthetics are pleasing, and best of all, the recording is quite good. The splice and edit noises that have plagued this Label in the past are not to be found here. The vocals are far out front, and the music is well mixed. This is one you'll enjoy, but it's not the best of the tour. There are soundboards that have been released from around this time, and there are about sixty or so silvers that have focused on this tour. However, the George shows have not before appeared on silver, and there are those that believe you can never have enough Bob, so... "Here's to you."
