>I'm posting to warn people about a boot I just bought.  I don't know if it's
>a new release, but it seems like it.  I'd never seen it before.  It's called
>Bob Dylan At The Spectrum 1974, issued as Amsterdam AMS 838.  The show date
>is January 8, 1974, at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.
>
>The tracks listed are:
>disc 1:  1.  Ballad of Hollis Brown  2.  Lay Lady Lay  3.  Just Like Tom
>Thumb's Blues  4.  It Ain't Me Babe  5.  Tough Mama  6.  Ballad of a Thin
>Man  7.  All Along The Watch Tower [sic]   8.  As Went Out Morning [sic]  9.
>Knockin' On Hevens Door [sic]
>disc 2:  1.  Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands  2.  Mama You Been On My Mind  3.
>The Lonsome Death of Hattie Carol [sic]  4.  Except You  [sic]  5.
>Desolation Row  6.  I Don't Believe You  7.  Forever Young  8.  Something
>About You [sic]  9.  Like A Rolling Stone
>
>But this is a lie.  The following changes should be made:
>disc 1:  8.  Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat
>disc 2:  1.  To Ramona  5.  It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding
>
>Also, when you put in disc 1 your player will tell you there are 10 tracks
>instead of 9, but don't get your hopes up:  the first 6 seconds of
>Watchtower are programmed in as track 7, and the rest are nudged down a
>notch.
>
>I'm sure there will be many of you who could spot the errors just by knowing
>the date (and even I suspected something when I saw SELOTL listed), but I'm
>posting this just in case there's somebody relatively inexperienced out
>there (like me) who might be taken in by the prospect of hearing Desolation
>Row sung in that great '74 acoustic style.
>
>Other than the mistakes, I'm happy with the boot.  Great singing, fair
>sound, lots of selections from Planet Waves that soon disappeared from the
>setlist.
