Notes by the taper:
Folks, it just does NOT get any better than this. Quite literally a perfect concert event; and I believe that this recording offers the very best that my old Sony Minidisc rig can provide. I dedicate this recording to Bob Dylan and his band - thank you for a magical evening that I will never forget.

After weeks of waiting patiently for the band/producer/venue to release some last-minute house tickets, my wait was rewarded just two days ago when out popped Sec 222 Row C (which was basically front row, center balcony behind the board). In addition, my aisle seat had an unobstructed view of the stage, as rows A and B stepped down to their seats. This allowed me to put my recording gear on the floor in front of me during the entire show - a huge bonus if you're a taper !

The two words I have chosen to describe this evening's performance are : mesmerizing and triumphant.

Mesmerizing in that from the first blast of LSPBH, the entire crowd - not just those around me - were stunned into a trance-like state, listening intently and soaking-up the majestic performance that was unfolding there before them. Having seen hundreds of concerts over the past 35 years, I can honestly report that I have NEVER seen a crowd so controlled by the music being created on stage. No one stood, not a single untoward whistle or shout during a single note played or syllable sung; then a passionate and resounding ovation erupted after each and every song. It was chilling - the connection from performers to listeners. Bravo Charlotte - what an amazing crowd !!

I'm convinced that this was simply the most taper-friendly crowd in the history of live music, and after listening to the show twice on the ride home, I can tell you that I will probably never make another recording anywhere near the overall quality of this capture. No samples needed on this one ... download with confidence, and please enjoy this masterpiece.

It is impossible to isolate the musically highlights from this evening - the entire performance played out like a grand, symphonic explosion of passion, fire, heartbreak, love, loss, and finally, heartfelt triumph. The outpouring of love for Bob and his magnificent band built throughout the performance; and at the final bow, you will hear an ovation spring forth from the exhausted, priviledged patrons who were fortunate enough to bear witness to the healing and restorative powers that only live music can create.

It is with great pride and much happiness that I present this performance to you all here on Dime. I hope that this recoring circles the globe many times and brings you just a taste of the JOY that we all felt last night... and I'm hoping to capture this lightning in a bottle again Saturday night in Winston-Salem.
