That most unfocussed event the celebrity fundraiser. Endless troops of stars appearing on stage to mumble there way through the back catalogue and raise some money for a cause they are not necessarily connected to.
I am not even going to pretend I have ever sat through this collection all the way in one sitting. I am not even going to pretend I have even heard some of it. I bought this for one reason only, well two really.
Number 1. being this was Dylans return to performing and he may be the best reason. His set is strong and assured, accompanied by Harrison and the boys in the band all to good affect.
Number 2. it was literally five dollars and in great shape.
Here we are Day 3, no records bought, feeling strong and in no way ashamed to have pre-ordered Neil Young’s Tuscaloosa and Dylan’s Rolling Thunder L.P.’s.
That box looks in great condition. What a great price for a triple album! I paid six times that a couple of years back for one less well cared for.
As for the music, you’re right. It’s a curate’s egg.
