5.7.4 Comments

-------------- This part of the Never-Ending Tour saw Dylan perform at the 25th anniversary Woodstock concert called Woodstock '94. Many fans saw this is as another sell-out, Dylan probably just saw it as another festival show and another chance to de-mytologize himself. BobTalk ------- None but the standard band credits during Maggie's Farm. Recommended shows ----------------- Lewiston 8/16, Merrillville 8/26. Tapes ----- Good audience tapes circulates from all shows, except Woodstock where the mixed stereo TV broadcast is available. There is also a PA-tape from the show in Lewiston. ------------------------------
