I bought the new Dylan yesterday and have not even listened to the second disc yet and I think it's great! I had a bootleg which they referenced in the liner notes, but it was stolen from me. I was hoping this would be a good replacement and in my mind it is.
I have not read or heard any reviews of this set so I did not have the chance to mount any preconceived notions about it. I have seen 'Zimmy' on several occasions and this is the most laid back and casual, or (gasp) dare I say, friendly mood I have ever witnessed. He is not the "Dylan" myth here, he is just the man.
Would I have made a few changes in the track selection, of course! Did he make any bad choices? No! For the money this is an inexpensive snapshot of an icon who was on the mark that night! What more can a jaded music lover want???
As far as the complilation with Tom and Keith, I wasn't too impressed with the sound but the cover picture is worth the price. Who does their hair!?!
