MTV Unplugged : CK 67000 (CD)
Tombstone Blues
It's interesting to catch Dylan in a live gig when he's on a roll and the man was definitely in fine fettle when this deal went down. He's rearranged some of his classic tunes and found sidemen from that little pocket universe he has access to, the one where little known musicians wait for the chance of playing with the master; the same place he found Robbie Robertson, Scarlet Rivera and a host of other sterling virtuosi. The album features great covers of "Tombstone Blues", "Desolation Row" and "Dignity" with a near epic rendition of "With God On Our Side" closing the set out. MTV Unplugged is a marvelous summing up (albeit a necessarily short one given the limits of a one CD set) of a gigantic career. If you've ever cared about Dylan as an artist, then you should pick up on this album.plus s/h if applicable.
Highway 61 Interactive : SONY CD-ROM 67034
You can literally spend hours on this CD-ROM. The quick time movies, soundbites from concerts, interviews with fellow travelers and scraps of miscellany from Dylan's life make this a must for his fans. The menu is a collage where you point and click onto a different view. A guitar icon let's you know when you can hear music or an interview. Fingers point out the options (left, right, up or down) and the scene changes appropriately. When you're in Greenwich Village, you can cross the street, turn left or right, go to a record store or a news stand or an art gallery and click on to an aspect of Bob's life. The same thing happens when you enter a studio ,clicking on the organ to hear Al Kooper riff about the first session he ever played with Dylan. There's plenty of previously unreleased versions of familiar and unfamiliar tunes to tempt fans.plus s/h if applicable.
