Bob Dylan Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Bob Dylan Tom Petty/KS,USA 1986 Mixing Desk Cassettes

Bob Dylan’s 1986 tour with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers was a time when he “lost his way” and “he was pushed by the momentum of the young Petty group,” he later confessed in his autobiography. However, Dylan, a natural performer, was actually devoted to playing and singing even at that time, and the wonderful soundboard recordings that prove this are the masterpiece “THE BEST SHOW: MINNEAPOLIS 1986” that captures the passionate performance in his hometown, and the superb audience “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1986 FINAL NIGHT” that captures the happy party night at MSG. The 1986 US tour was a time when other leaked soundboards were being unearthed, but among them, a very half-baked soundboard had been circulating for some time, the one on July 28th at Bonner Springs. Although it was a sound board with good sound quality from the PA out, the fact that it was recorded in the second half of the live performance, less than a third of the entire show, was a hindrance, and the item was never released in any form. Moreover, the appeal of the sound board was halved in that Dylan’s opening song “Kansas City” was not heard because it was a live performance in Kansas. However, our shop exclusively obtained the full-length sound board version, which had never been available among traders until now, from an overseas collector. Since only the final part of the live performance had been available for a long time, and it was even thought that “the majority of the live performance was not recorded,” the fact that a full-length sound board of the day was finally unearthed will be a great shock to Dylan enthusiasts around the world. In the first place, there are two versions of the sound board of only the second half of the live performance that has been widely distributed since the past, one of which was recorded from Petty’s “Tonight Might Be My Night,” and the other was from the shorter recording time “Rainy Day Women #12&35.” In fact, the latter has been uploaded to the Internet even this year. However, the recording time for this version is long from the second half, and the recording starts from Petty’s “Straight Into Darkness”. This alone is enough to be a topic, but the fact that this time it is well recorded from the rare opening is too big. In this way, you can hear it on the sound board from “Kansas City”, but unfortunately the staff was late in pressing the recording button, and the beginning of the song was missing. Fortunately, there was a good sound quality audience recording on this day in low generation, and the problematic part was adjusted so that the rare opening could be heard in full. In addition, the audience recording was also active in the gap that occurred from the end of “Ballad Of A Thin Man”, which was the timing of changing to the second cassette, to the touch of “Straight Into Darkness”. This part is extremely smooth and you may not notice it at first glance. Dylan’s 1980s PA out soundboard has a much better balance of instruments than, for example, ZEP’s 1970s PA out sound source, and yet it is not too direct, and even has parts where the drums and keyboards are separated into stereo. This is a phenomenon that was consistently seen in 1980s PA soundboards such as the aforementioned “THE BEST SHOW: MINNEAPOLIS 1986”. This is very easy to listen to, and it is also enjoyable as live music. What’s most pleasing is that Dylan’s wonderful performance is captured in a way that is not inferior to that famous recording of Minneapolis. As Dylan said after finishing singing, it was clear that the engine was at full throttle from the opening when he first performed the rock and roll classic “Kansas City”. This is further spurred on by the acoustic “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”. The advantage of the PA out is that you can see this as easily as you can, and from there Dylan is already sharp. In the end, when introducing the band members, Dylan jokingly referred to the late Heartbreakers bassist Howie Epstein as “from Kansas” (he was actually from Milwaukee), and in “Like A Rolling Stone,” he led the band to break the performance, then sped up the tempo to finish. Dylan looked like he was having a really good time that day. If Minneapolis is a “spirited performance” that is unique to his hometown, then the soundboard in Bonner Springs, Kansas, could be called a “full of ease and great performance.” Not only is this the third great performance and great album of the 1986 US tour after Minneapolis and “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1986 FINAL NIGHT,” but above all, it is the longest upper version, recording the first half of the live show starting with “Kansas City,” which was thought to have never existed even among core enthusiasts, on a shocking soundboard.
