Review:
This CD represents the first two thirds of the 21 song show from Rio. It's from a mono tape recording directly off of the soundboard. The vocals and harp are nice and warm and way out front. (Actually a bit too far in front). The music mix is nice, but a bit buried under the vocals. The drums and bass are rich and fat. Because of the mono recording, however, GE Smith's lead guitar becomes a bit cold and thin. The band is tight. Dylan's performance ranges from good to inspired. Songs 2, 3, & 11 were broadcast on Brazilian TV the same month on a show called "The Best Of Hollywood"
