Album Notes & Community Reviews

A highly polarizing live document that radically reinvents Dylan's classic material using a massive, slickly polished backing band complete with horns and prominent backing vocalists. The somewhat bizarre incorporation of reggae rhythms and lounge-act sensibilities confounded critics but revealed his restless desire to constantly dismantle his own legacy.
