Title: Columbia blows it
Review: Columbia blew it last year by releasing that 1964 Philharmonic Hall Concert as Volume 6 in The Bootleg Series when the success of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ would have made it an ideal time to release something truly rare, like Dylan's outstanding Toronto show from 1980 when he was absolutely on fire, praising the Lord in explosive live versions of the songs from "Slow Train Coming" and "Saved," as well as some never recorded material.I was really hoping they'd put THAT out this year. Instead we get this "soundtrack" to the Martin Scorsese documentary. I'm sure that will be good, even great, but this CD, though filled with excellent music, doesn't offer much of anything new. There's nothing here that's going to startle the ear unless you've never heard Dylan before. Like another reviewer said, this set seems recycled. With so music that's never been heard still gathering dust in the vaults, does anyone really need yet another version of "Mr. Tambourine Man"?
