Long
Distance Operator
source: Berkeley, CA 1965 Tracks: Tombstone Blues I Don't Believe You Baby Let Me Follow You Down Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues Long Distance Operator It Ain't Me Babe Ballad Of A Thin Man Positively Fourth Street Like A Rolling Stone Review: The quality of this CD is well below average by today's standards, but for a 1965 audience recording, it's not bad at all. Get over the low fidelity buried sound, and you'll be rewarded with a gem whose historical value cannot be overstated. It's a great performance, to start with. Very unlike the raw power that was to follow in the coming year.. but just as good in it's own rights. Consider it being the only recording of any substance of Dylan & The Hawks (The Band) of that year,... consider that it contains the only know version of the title track,... consider that some of the arrangements are like no other known recording, .... and this CD becomes a masterpiece.
