Notes: The six summer 1987 Dylan/Dead shows were interesting because it seems that the majority of Bob Dylan fans who weren't also Grateful Dead fans thought it to be a low point in Bob Dylan's career while Dylan himself and the Dead band members loved the experience, as did the Deadheads of course.

The problem for Dylan's fans was that although the musicians had run through a huge number of songs during the early June rehearsals, nothing was heavily practiced and the Dead members had no clue of the setlists until shortly before each show. None of this bothered Dylan, The Dead or the Deadheads much, but Dylan fans who wanted a slick backing band were disappointed. But just to get to see Jerry Garcia play pedal steel guitar with Bob Dylan made it a highlight for me - even if it was in a stadium!

The mastering deck for the soundboard recording was a Sony digital multitrack wide tape PCM format. Since an album was planned, mixed down preview copies were made on cassettes for Dylan and the Dead members to pick out which songs would be used for the album release.

I really like the way this torrent turned out despite the number of edits.
