Performing outdoors on the first night of the annual Laguna Seca Daze music festival on the beautiful Monterey
peninsula, Bob Dylan headlined an impressively diverse quadruple bill that featured opener Beth Hart followed by
the Black Crows and George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars, on May 27, 1995, all performing before a highly chargedup general admission audience.
At this point in time, Dylan's "Never Ending Tour" band was in its ninth permutation, and featured John Jackson,
Bucky Baxter and Dylan himself as the primary soloists backed the agile rhythm section of Tony Garnier and Winston
Watson. This particular line - up had become Dylan's most enduring band to date, with well over 200 performances
to their credit. Their unique seasoned chemistry had provided Dylan the opportunity to further pursue his electric
guitar work more than with any previous group. As a result, his musicianship and resonance as a guitarist became
another integral facet of his live performances.
Even though this tour featured a framework set list and basic format of electric set/acoustic set/electric set, Dylan
was featuring a wide array of material, spanning nearly every era of his career. Yet nothing sounds dated, as Dylan's
songs were continually evolving and that air of unpredictability was, and remains, an important part of the "Dylan in
concert" equation—right up to the present day.
• This particular show was recorded for live FM Radio broadcast and tapes of such remain high on the priority
lists of Dylan collectors. But now, with this new release, this magical set is available on this new CD for the
first time.
