In May 1988, Bob Dylan released Down In The Groove, his 25tjh studio album. While the disc did not receive good reviews, nor sell particularly well, Dylan launched a summer tour in support of the album. The 1988 tour marked a dramtic shift for Dylan in his live performances. Where in recent years, Dylan’s live shows often featured collaborations with high-profile artists such as Mick Taylor, the Grateful Dead, and Tom Petty, the 1988 run centered around a small, 'garage rock'-type combo, consisting of guitarist G.E. Smith, bassist Kenny Aaronson, and drummer Christopher Parker. Influenced by his time with the Grateful Dead, Dylan’s set list became more adventurous, with song selection varying  from show to show. He also began to incorporate more traditional cover songs into the set lists. For Dylan, the 1988 concerts would be the start of what is now known as the Never Ending Tour, which is 3 and a half decades and over 3000 shows strong as 2023.. This soundboard recording captures Dylan diring that historic 1988 tour, in Bristol on September 4, 1988, 35 years ago today.
