Includes a second “When I Paint My Masterpiece,” which is not as impressive as at Basel, and an electric arrangement of “Desolation Row,” which is surprisingly effective, primarily because of some fine playing by Mike Campbell, whose guitar work throughout the rour is something of a revelation.

Although originally booked for a show in West Berlin, Dylan and the Heartbreakers switch their show to this massive venue in East Berlin. Owing to the scarcity of name acts in the country, something like a hundred thousand fans attend the show, which is marred by running battles between fans and security. Some 130 fans are injured. Dylan’s set is less than an hour long, although it does feature a new arrangement of “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine.
