Hello everybody!

I've just listened to the 2CD Dancing In the Dark boot. It's a rehearsal
from 1987, not Tom Petty.. nor the Dead. My first thought was that it
must be for the upcoming Never Ending Tour in late 1987. It sounds much
like the type of backing when Dylan played with Charlie Quintana etc in
1984 in the Letterman show. Some tracks are really good I think, sound
quality are perfect in almost every song. For bonus there are 6 tracks
from the spring tour in 1980 I think. The sleeve notes says it's
recordings from 1980-1981 for a unreleased live album. According to Deep
Beneath... they are all from the shows in Toronto 4/80, same as Solid
Rock boot. When You Gonna Wake Up are dynamite! Sound quality are
brilliant, this is what live recordings should sound like! Much better
live feeling than in any other officially released Dylan live album.
Anyone that have some more information about the above?
