Both the 2001 and 2009 recordings are bootlegs on an unusual kind: they are examples of Assisted Listening Device (ADL) recordings. These are usually special feeds at concerts to help people who have hearing trouble. Every now and then, these recordings make it onto bootlegs. The ones I heard generally sound great, but they almost always have pristine sound of what was happening on stage, and very little crowd noise. It makes for a strange listen, as if the performer was playing to a bored audience that could barely be bothered to cheer.
Thankfully, these days, there are many ways to edit sound files. So I did to this concert recording what I did to the 2001: I split the crowd noise from everything else (using the MVSEP program), greatly boosted the cheering, the put the cheering back with the rest. Now, it sounds like a typical high quality soundboard boot. And that's extremely unusual for a Dylan concert from this era. There are lots of soundboard boots from earlier phases of his career. But from about 2000 onwards, there are basically none. The only exceptions I know of are these two ADL recordings from the 2001 concert and this one.
Dylan has had a late career renaissance, with many of his more recent album being both critically acclaimed and selling well. This concert took place a few months after the release of his studio album "Together Through Life," which was another winner, even reaching Number One on the album charts in some countries. Weirdly, he only performed one song from that album, "Jolene." But he played four from the previous album, "Modern Times" ("Rollin' and Tumblin," "Nettie Moore," "Spirit on the Water," and "Thunder on the Mountain"), and well as songs from other more recent albums like "Love and Theft" and "Time Out of Mind."
This album is one hour and 46 minutes long.
