Review:
The Dylan at Budokan LP would be recorded less than a week from the date of this show. While being a more prestigious venue, the Tokyo show doesn't seem to have quite the power and heartfelt enthusiasm as this Osaka performance. Of course, this can't match the official release in sound quality. If you're a fan of the new arrangements of Budokan, you'll love hearing them in an even more convincing tone. Bonus tracks from the final night of the three shows in Osaka have been woven in to allow the listener privilege to an entire performances, as well as to 31 of the 33 songs performed during the Osaka residency. The double jewel case inserts leave a little to be desired, even if they were inspired by the official tour program, and the generic, fake silk screened information on the discs themselves are a sad joke.
