Album Notes Bob Dylan & The Grateful Dead: Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir (vocals, guitar); Brent Mydland (keyboards); Phil Lesh (bass); Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann (percussion). Recorded live in July, 1987. This document of the historic summer-of-1987 live pairing of the rock era's premier singer/songwriter and its longest-running psychedelic adventure-c**-sideshow is not nearly as great as the shows themselves were. Yet, it exemplifies rather eloquently what each brought to the party. Dylan, obviously, brought the tunes--but not just the acknowledged classics. As the dry reading of "Joey," his mid-'70s tribute to gangster Joey Gallo, rightfully suggests, Dylan kept the Dead on their toes with his choices. The Dead, of course, brought their indescribable way with a song, their ability to turn any tune into a jam-friendly, lyrical boogie. And as the opening "Slow Train Coming" rightfully suggests, when this weird combo of talents clicked, every dusty corner of Dylan's catalog got a unique makeover. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  must-have for fans of either It is always hard to compare Live albums to studio, but I can't list this among Dylan's best. However, just the specter of him and the Grateful Dead together makes it a landmark worth having. It is impressive in places, I must say, but not throughout. Review ID: 10000000007829989 Was this review helpful? Report this review Knockin' On Heaven's DoorI'm not a fan of the Dead but I am a huge Dylan fan and this is a good album. You can usually find this for less than 99 cents and it's certainly worth picking up for that price. There is nothing groundbreaking or outstanding here. Just some good live tunes. 4 Stars. Review ID: 10000000003590197 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Dylan backed by the Dead - a melting potThe edge of Dylan's voice is smoothed by the lyrical guitars of the dead. This may not satisfy Deadheads or hardcore Dylan fans. However,it does make very good music. Review ID: 10000000001361908 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
