| Euro 2005 Birmingham source: National Exhibition Centre Tracks: Disc one Maggie's Farm Tell Me That It Isn't True Watching The River Flow Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues Ballad Of A Thin Man Highway 61 Revisited Mr. Tambourine Man Stuck Inside Of Mobile Chimes Of Freedom (acoustic) 'Til I Fell In Love With You Disc two Visions Of Johanna (acoustic) Honest With Me Death Of Hattie Carroll (acoustic) Summer Days encore: Like A Rolling Stone All Along The Watchtower Bonus: It Ain't Me Babe Every Grain Of Sand High Water (For Charley Patton) Sugar Baby (acoustic) Review: Birmingham is an outstanding show. Perhaps the best of the tour. It is well represented here in this very clean audience recording. The vocals are crystal clear. Dylan's voice is simply huge on this night. It's melodic, it's teasing, it's full of gruff beauty. Many of these versions are truly incandescent, and are among the best performances of the decade. The entire show is a highlight, with too many individual gems to even mention. The bonus tracks include four beautiful highlights from the previous night. One can only hope that the entire Glasgow show is to be released, as it is simply superb. As for the package, TMR has created a theme for its European releases taken from the American southwest. Most likely as a nod to the western look cowboy hats that Dylan has become so fond of in the new Millennium. This release contains some intimate photos combined with an original border that lends a ragged charm to the packaging,... worthy of the material, and of one's collection. © 2006 K.
