A very good 88-concert and the sound on the circulating soundboard tape is incredible.

It is concert #15 of the Never Ending Tour & this tour is “labeled” the Interstate 88 Tour, part 1.

One thought on “Today: Bob Dylan played Jones Beach Theater, Wantagh, New York, 30 June 1988”

  1. Wowwowowow!
    I was at this show and also the one at Garden State Arts Center (either day or two before one after)
    Great show.
    I have been looking for video of those two shows for a very long time.
    At one of them- as the band was returning for an encore, I threw a big kiss to
    Bob. As he bent down to grab his guitar he turned back and threw one right back at me.
    Be still my heart.
    The highlite of Bob shows… Well, one of them.
    They are all highlites in their own ways.
