Bob Dylan - 1994-10-19 & 10-20 - New York (SBD)
Welcome to another Back to Back entry here in October, in which we give you 2 days worth of concerts in 1 post! For 3 days, from October 18 to October 20, 1994, Bob Dylan took up residence at the Roseland Ballroom located on West 52nd Street in New York City’s Theater District. The theater has hosted events ranging from a birthday party for Hillary Clinton to disco dance nights to movie premiers, not to mention concerts from acts as diverse as Phil Collins, Beyonce and Gov’t Mule. Some say the setting inspired Dylan, as his shows at Roseland have been hailed as some of the most powerful of his career. Others feel his performances were propelled by the magic from sitting in with the Grateful Dead the night before his stint at Roseland. Whatever the reason, Bob Dylan regained his rightful place at the head of the pantheon of rock and roll during those 3 magic nights. Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth was in the audience for the last night and wrote the following: “I don’t know what/whose show you saw last week, but what I saw was the best show I’ve seen Dylan do in maybe 15 years, a master at the height of his powers, singing (singing real good!), playing just incredibly, with a crack band supporting him (finally!), playing songs from every period of his lengthy career and just doing everything right”. This soundboard recording captures the last 2 nights of his run at Roseland, on October 19 and 20, 1994, 18 years ago today and tomorrow. Download this one to hear Dylan resurrected, and don’t miss the guest appearances by Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen (who had been in the audience!) during the encores on the last night!

I think that most of these reviewers were fooled by the fact that his band was a crack outfit, and they were really were on fire that night. Sure it's good. And Dylan's voice is better than average. They brought that much out of him. But even here in 1994 he still held to that generic style of vocal cadence that would make the words from Mr. Tambourine Man fit perfectly into the melody of The Girl From North Country. Or any other song from his catalog, for that matter. It’s a style that he has regrettably used at his shows ever since. It's a good recording. I won't deny that. But it's just ol` Bob out there having fun. Not too concerned if the audience thinks that they're not getting what they paid for. Surely above average, though..
Thank you very much for this! I'm a huge Dylan fan, and I've been going to shows and collecting recordings since '98. So far I've been to about 30 concerts, and have a ton of boots. Let me know f there's anything in particular you are looking for. Maybe I can help!
I have not listened to this one yet, but I'm looking forward to it! 1993-'96 was a unique period for Bob, and one of my favorites. Second only to perhaps the Larry Campbell years(1997-2004).
