Bob Dylan - Before The Flood

Having played all 39 studio albums, it’s time to hit the live albums. This is first live album by Dylan, ably backed by The Band and incorporates some of their own songs. It’s a fine performance with many reworkings of older songs, and played with vigour. A fine album IMO.

This latest Kevin Gray remaster from the original analog tapes is nothing short of spectacular. Best sounding version of this classic I’ve ever heard.

Double vinyl album. The first LP is flawless every track a 9 or 10 out of 10.

Robbie Robertson is just brilliant on this set. That thumb plectrum pinched harmonic style of picking - what a guitar player.
