Bob Dylan/NJ,USA 1988

This is a recording of a live performance in New Jersey on June 24th from the 1988 US tour, which marked the beginning of Dylan’s life work, the Never Ending Tour, recorded on a soundboard from FM On-Air Master. This is the first day of a two-day concert, and although it is not complete because it is a broadcast recording, it is a valuable live recording now that the simple four-piece band consisting of guitar, bass, and drums is based on the tight sound led by G.E. Smith, and also features Bob’s own guitar. And from the light-hearted opening of “Subterranean Homesick Blues” to familiar representative numbers and rare traditional covers, the performance and set unique to this period are a must-see. 01.
