> From: Marty Traynor

> A few days ago (interpreting the word few quite liberally), Craig Jamieson
> asked for input on the cd "Rise Again" on Wanted Man Music from a recording
> done in concert in Seattle, November 30, 1980 (with 5 cuts from November
> 29, 1980 as a bonus).
>  
> I consider this cd to be a perfect illustration of the importance of the
> EDLIS Who Has Which Boot Agency.  That is because it is exactly half good,
> and you can obtain the good half simply by politely asking the ever-
> responsive jcliburn@flintcreek.win.net (hope I got his address right,
> I'm so lazy I usually just "mail reply" to one of his posts) to put you
> in touch with someone who would be happy to trade a copy of "Rise Again"
> in return for other Dylan material.
>  
> Why is "Rise Again" half good? Well, there are some songs here you may
> not find elsewhere, such as "Ain't Gonna Go To Hell for Anyone" and
> "Cty of Gold" and covers of "Mary from the Wild Moor" and "We Just
> Disagree" and "Fever" (yes, *that* fever...Peggy Lee move over) and
> "Rise Again" and the "Abraham Martin and John" with the "Hvae you
> seen my old friend Bobby?" line.  Collectors of 1979-80 material may
> be familiar with these songs performed on this tour, but I was not
> and in general I liked them.  I enjoyed the entire performance, in
> fact.
>  
> But now for the half bad aspects of the cd (actually a two cd set).
> First of all for roughly 40 bucks US currency I don't think it is
> too much to expect some basic data in the packaging...the name of the
> venue, the names of the other musicians, maybe a bit about the tour
> the recording is taken from, etc.  But what we get is one photo of
> our hero on the front and a basic set list.  They should consider
> charging $40.99 and spend the extra 99 cents on more information.
>  
> But worse yet, the sound quality of this set is very uneven.  I can
> hear wavering sound levels, poor cuts between songs, and at least one
> glaring dead spot in the middle of a song.  Frankly, when a cd
> sounds like this, I assume it has been copied from a tape without
> any sound engineering.

> Rise Again is an excellent

> There's the whole concert from the 30th with 5 bonus tracks from the night
> before. He performs "Fever" at this show.

> I assume you're talking about "Rise Again," from Seattle, Nov 30, 1980, with
> filler from the previous night?  If not, just disregard this (I've been
> wrong a lot lately).  You're right, the performance was great:  a monster
> "Serve Somebody" and several other wonderful tracks.  Sound is only fair,
> I'd say, extremely heavy on the bass (which is maybe what makes "Serve
> Somebody" sound so good).
