For many people, the Dylan live performances of the 1990s will be remembered as something that happened recently. However, almost 20 years have passed quickly. Thanks to this, items from this era have completely become a thing of the past. Furthermore, items released at that time were often based on audience recordings using equipment inferior to the sound sources that were circulating among traders, and items of a level that were not considered by Dylan collectors from the beginning. There were quite a few. Or, even if you can get them now, the quality is likely to be outdated. As proof of that, the best items from this tour are not selected even on Dylan Boots' authoritative site "Dylansboots.com". Nowadays, the items from that time are nothing more than a thing of the past, and on the other hand, there are no items that meet the standards of 2016...This has long been a serious situation for many enthusiasts. In order to make a difference in this situation, we are releasing a European tour in the spring of 1995. The tour was the first live performance of the same year, but at the beginning of the tour, it became a hot topic that Dylan did not play the guitar until the middle of the show and went on stage as a singer with a hand microphone. The day before the start of the tour, Dylan's back pain, which he had been suffering from for some time, worsened, and because of this he went without an electric guitar. On the first day of the tour in Prague, he even explained this on stage, which was rare. Fortunately, his back condition improved and he recovered enough to be able to carry the electric guitar on stage from the beginning of the live performance. However, singing with a hand microphone actually created a freshness in the production, and Dylan did not play the guitar for several songs from the opening, and the staging of the singer state continued until the final day of the tour. As a result, it was a forerunner of the modern Dylan, who didn't play the guitar at all and acted as a singer in most of his songs, but at the time it seemed very interesting. Furthermore, the set list composition, which was completely renewed from the previous year, also attracted attention, and it is nostalgic that many items were released in 1995. Under such circumstances, one of the most wonderful days of this tour was the last day of the tour, the Dublin performance on April 11th. In addition to rare song selections that could only be experienced on this tour, there will be a gorgeous guest lineup that can only be seen on the last day of a European tour since 1984. Because it had such charm, "DYLAN GETS TO THE POINT" had already been released at that time. Although this title was described as “This is one of the best of the 1995 recordings” on the previous site, there were audience recordings that boasted a quality that easily surpassed this from that time. This time, the other sound source will finally be released! The quality of the sound source "DYLAN GETS TO THE POINT" is completely different dimension. The closeness of the sound image and the high quality of the sound quality itself easily exceeds that. When you are faced with the high-quality sound that is comparable even if you listen to it now, you will find it strange that such a sound source has not been released until now, and at the same time you will realize that it is a sound source that should be released. However, the mastering suppresses the tendency for the bass to resonate too much, which is common in DAT audience recordings from the 90s, and elevates the quality to an even easier listen. Furthermore, the opening Dylan call where digital noise has been added due to the aging of the master DAT is compensated for with “DYLAN GETS ~”. In addition, in the second half of "Boots Of Spanish Leather", the skipping that occurred due to aging was patched with the same sound source (it may be too precise to notice...lol), and careful attention was paid to the recording condition. I paid. Originally, the spring 1995 European tour featured a set list unique to this period, but "Where Teardrops Fall" suddenly appeared as the second song. Most of the songs on the album ``OH MERCY'', which was a critical comeback for Dylan, were frequently played live, but this song is a rare live performance, so it makes up for that in the beginning. However, on the last day. Starting with this song, the soft and gentle way he sings songs with slow tempos and songs with acoustic parts may be said to be a style that leads to Dylan's current singing style. And in the second half of the live there was a literal surprise. Carole King appeared from "Highway 61 Revisited" and played the piano with the band until the encore! Moreover, at the end of the day, only songs in which the piano shines are featured, and King's piano completely functions as the band's ensemble, which is also surprising. Her piano sounds not only faintly but also clearly, and her playing perfectly fits each song. This can also be said to be the origin of Dylan's current piano-oriented stage sound. The last performance was the encore song "Like A Rolling Stone" where he not only played the piano but also sang the chorus. She had already jumped in and joined the chorus with Chrissie Hynde and others at the Brixton Academy encore about a week ago, but on this day she was even more instrumental in joining the band as a piano player. height. After that, the encore was a series of guests who seemed to be on the last day of the tour, and Van Morrison, who had jumped in every time Dylan performed live in Dublin during this era, takes the lead vocals here with “Real Real Gone”. Dylan also liked this song, and he would sing it himself six months later. Finally, Elvis Costello, who was the opening act at several performances including Brixton, appeared, sharing vocals with Dylan on "I Shall Be Released". I didn't know that the best sound source of such an amazing live performance, both the performance and the guests, had been hidden until now.
