Hurricane
Oh, Sister
Simple Twist Of Fate

Personnel: Rob Stoner (bass)
           Scarlet Rivera (violin)
           Howie Wyeth (drums)

Another Rolling Thunder warmup, but this time an advance peek at
Dylan's new band. The _Desire_ album hadn't yet been released, but the
single "Hurricane" was already being played on the radio, so most of
the audience was probably already familiar with the song when he
launched into it on this television tribute to John Hammond taped for
PBS. Using a very small backup band consisting of Rob Stoner on bass,
Howie Wyeth on drums, and Scarlet Rivera on violin, Dylan performed
mature, fully realized versions of "Hurricane", "Oh, Sister", and
"Simple Twist of Fate". I think it would have been spectacular to have
an entire concert with this minimal band. This tape is highly
recommended.

Albums: _Blood Takes_ (also contains original Blood tracks)
        _Passed Over and Rolling Thunder_ (double album, half of which
                consists of _Blood Takes_)
        _Joaquin Antique_ (probably the same as _Blood Takes_?)
