As with much of the late 80’s, Dylan’s vocals are intense and powerful. The three piece band led by GE Smith is raw and energetic. .. The performance is marvelous. Dylan takes a huge bite out of the Big Apple from Radio City. Coincidentally, Warner Brothers released the incredible ‘Traveling Wilburys Vol.1″ while Dylan was playing in this ‘showplace of the nation’. This might have lent a hand to a little extra sparkle and drive to be found in this tour de force.

A splendid Simple Twist Of Fate was the next treat, but Dylan’s voice was starting to go in places and the song came to a hesitant, oddly stumbling end.
One of the revelations of the tour had been saved for the October 1988 shows, with the first ever live version of Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream at Upper Darby on 13 October 1988.
I do not think there was any fan who could have envisaged this long, comic monologue being pulled from his back pages; but Dylan clearly enjoyed tackling it. You could hear the relish in his voice, particularly when he sang the words “my way” near the song’s conclusion.
