This is the 8th Show of Bob Dylan's 1984 tour with former Rolling Stones guitarist

Mick Taylor.  This is the first GREAT show of the tour, a must-have show.  Every song

is perfect.  Dylan's singing and Taylor's playing meshes so well together and the band is

so hot that they seem to be operating with one mind; perfect!  Each player seems inspired

by the performance of the other members and each raise their own game to meet the

challenge.  The result is a phenomenal show, what a treat.  This is only the first great

show.  There are other magical nights but none surpass this night; equal, different

but not better.  Every note Taylor plays fits perfectly into the context of each song. 

Listen to him when he is NOT playing lead.  A true master, he is always playing the

perfect part yet never over-playing.  There is one problem with this offering and it comes

on track # 6; "I and I."  The song is cut and another show has been dubbed in on the last 2

minutes to complete the song (I think it is from Gothenburg as best I can tell, which is the

next show so there is continuity in the order).  Other then that it is a fabulous soul-stirring

recording.

During "Ballad of a Thin Man" Dylan loses a little bit of fire in his vocal but picks it up

again on "Every Grain of Sand" and doesn't loose it again.  Taylor is hot all night. 

"Simple Twist of Fate," (which now has become a regular part of the setlist) "Every

Grain of Sand" and of course "Masters of War" are becoming great show cases for his

style and technique.  "Tangled up in Blue" has lost it's minor chord that Dylan tried the

first two nights he played it and now it has taken on the structure it will retain for the rest

of the tour.  As not to screw-up the evening even Santana plays decent on "Tombstone

Blues" but Ian MacLagan is the star of it this night with his fabulous boogie-woogie

piano playing.  The show ends with a stirring version of  "Why Do I Have To Choose"

with a nice slide guitar solo by Taylor and Dylan's singing after the solo is great. 

Santana ends the song with a passable but weak solo before it sputters to an end.  It must

have been tough to play after Taylor.  Right now is the 20th Anniversary of those shows

and I thought it would be cool to release each show to STG on the date of the actual show

plus 20 years.  So, here is the eighth show; only 19 more!!!  We'll see if I can keep up

with the rest of the tour.

This is the 15th Show of Bob Dylan's 1984 tour with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor.

This is a GREAT show and in great quality, just simply stunning.  At this point in the tour every

single show is great and every one has moments that transcend greatness to that next level.  This is

a pleasure to listen too.  Dylan now is obviously having a great time.  He seems to be loving

touring, he is connecting with the audience and interacting with the band musically.  It's all quite

glorious.  Listen to Dylan's phrasing on "Tangled Up In Blue" at the line "As she tied the laces of

my shoe." A line he's been singing at that point for 10 years.  Listen how he makes it seem fresh,

how he emphasis the word "laces" and stretches it out.  The next time he'll emphasis another part. 

He is a master, giving something fresh to the audience every single show.  It's almost beyond

comprehension.  The crowd here appreciates that.  Just listen to them after "Like A Rolling Stone."

A few interesting points of this show are that "Simple Twist of Fate" has been moved were

typically "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" has been (has replaced it).  We also get the second

performance of "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" (stop the presses, Santana is almost passable on this

version).  Another night without "Tombstone Blues" and mercifully we are spared Santana's nightmare

on "Blowing in the Wind."

Dylan stays strong the entire evening.  Listen to him sing his ass off on "Simple Twist of Fate" and

even on the tired "Like A Rolling Stone" he is singing fabulously.  Wow, give "Why Do I Have To Choose"

a listen! (and listen to Dylans guitar, it's great). Not only is his singing great but also listen to the

harmonica solo on "Don't Think Twice."  Do you think he was into it?  It's great!  His interaction between

guitar and harmonica here is impressive and moving.  Taylor and the band are right with Bob.  Taylor's solo

on "Every Grain of Sand" is very different from what he has been playing.  This song is very interesting to

listen to by itself from the beginning of the tour until the end.  If you want to hear a master composer and

craftsman at work give it a listen.  Taylor moves between simple solos, complex solos, slide solos, it all

shows a glimpse of Taylor's mindset at that moment.  This guy is a modern day Mozart, just unbelievable!  On

this night of course Santana botches the songs he plays on, especially "The Times They Are A Changing." 

Interesting enough on "Why Do I Have to Choose"  he seems to be playing a solo that actually fits the song, however,

his tone is so incredibly bad that his solo is disregarded as just another attempt by Santana to

"stand out" from the others.  My God man!  You are there with Dylan and Taylor!!!  Shut the hell

up and strum the right chords if you can!  We get a few bonus tracks at the end of this courtesy of the

trader who I got these from.  Feel free to delete these but there is the best "Man of Peace" of the

entire tour here along with "Love Minus Zero No Limit" and "All Along the Watchtower."  All

are incredible.  Listen to Dylan sing, what a pleasure and the band does not disappoint either.  I

think each is from the Offenbach show but I have not confirmed that. 

Right now is the 20th Anniversary of those shows and I thought it would be cool to

release each show to STG on the date of the actual show plus 20 years.  So, here is the

fifteenth show; only 12 more!!! We'll see if I can keep up with the rest of the tour.  So

far so good!  What are we going to do when the tour is over?

This is the 11th show with Bob Dylan and former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. 

This is another very good bordering on great show and in great quality.  Parts of it are

fantastic.  The crowd is very vocal on this one yelling out for songs such as (this one

amazes me since this song had just been written less than a year before and was never

released until years later) "Blind Willie McTell," "Solid Rock," and even the Rolling

Stones / Mick Taylor classic "Time Waits For No One" (at the end of track 3, disc 2). 

Also someone yells out at the end of the first acoustic set "Where is the Band," which is

quite a tribute to them as Dylan was putting on a great solo performance at the time. 

Taylor plays a fantastic solo on Greg Suttons "Imagination."  The setlist is fairly typical. 

"Man of Peace" is included this night (replaces "Simple Twist of Fate") and is really one

of the better versions of it.  "Why Do I Have To Choose" is interesting because Taylor

opts NOT to play slide on it (he plays the second solo on it this night).  Santana as usual

ruins every song he plays on with his bad tone and solos that do not fit in with the music. 

One interesting thing that happened was that "All Along the Watchtower" was played

twice this night.  Once in it's usual spot in the show and then as the last song.  Also,

Santana's conga players are on the last couple of songs.  Right now is the 20th nniversary

of those shows and I thought it would be cool to release each show to STG on the date of

the actual show plus 20 years.  So, here is the eleventh show; only 16 more!!!  We'll see

if I can keep up with the rest of the tour.  No artwork, enjoy
