Jones, Cohen, Parsons and Noone show Dylan up. Lead-off is a song the Walker Arts Center crowd could love, new album cut is a dull nod to Peckinpaugh days, Infidels outtake shoulda stayed that way, the New Orleans song I seem to like for its movement/lyrics but the performance is nothing special. If Dylan is going to release all this material I'm going to use the Ipod to prune.
