Review:
“This Show's On Fire,” …well... not quite.
The performance is very average. It's possible that the low signal to noise level may have contributed to the mediocrity of the recording. The overall mix along with the vocals need to be much brighter. Attendees of the show might have had a better sonic experience than what TMR has translated to this commercial bootleg. The "lick and a promise" approach to aesthetics that this Label often uses doesn't usually pay off. This time is no exception. The cover art is chaotic and the child-like font used for the title only adds to the mess. The foldout does contain an intelligible review, but does little to save the packaging. A superb Master's Of War and a very nice rendition of Chimes Of Freedom are easily salvaged from the Maryland show. As for the filler, it is up to a higher standard of performance and audio quality. However, for the more selective collector, a cdr will suffice.

The biggest problem with the sound quality of this disc is that this show was performed outdoors in an open air minor league baseball stadium. As any soundman or musician will tell you, it is nearly impossible to get a perfect sound outdoors. Dylan's professional crew does a great job, but outdoor shows are a most difficult mix, and are rarely on par with indoor events. Add to that trying to record this mix from the audience, and you usually end up with something like this. Of course, some outdoor recordings are better than others, as the filler material proves.
