Disc five is a bonus disc containing all Time Out Of Mind related tracks that were previously available on The Bootleg Series Vol.

But the story of Fragments—the story of the album Time Out Of Mind isn’t, but almost was—rests with “Mississippi. So in conclusion, I am glad I bought it, it offers more than I thought, although the inclusion of CD 5 is annoying if you bought the deluxe Tell Tale Signs. Everyone from Lanois to Dylan to the phalanx of hired guitarists behaved like people gripped by a shared trance. At the end of the track, which has a Claptonesque guitar break, you can hear Dylan say ‘Nice,’ someone else in the studio replies, ‘Yeah – that’s beautiful,’ and then there’s a round of applause.

This makes for a really fascinating and rewarding listen as you not only trace the evolution of the songs but can decide whether you prefer the album as released or as a more upbeat version. Disc 5 gives us the original haunting take of “Can’t Wait” that raised Howard’s arm hairs: Over a hard backbeat, Dylan’s block piano chords and impressively tasty riffing from Lanois, Dylan chews the scenery with the unhinged glee of a Shakespearean actor let loose in a Hollywood blockbuster. There are plenty of stories about how Dylan and Lanois clashed in the studio over the sound of Time Out of Mind and Lanois’ approach to production. All of these live versions are previously unreleased, apart from the 1998 recording of ‘Make You Feel My Love’ from L.

The last disc you don't need if you have Tell Tale Signs, but I understand why it was included as it goes with the period, and they can charge more with another disc included. The previous Bootleg Series, Springtime in New York, suffered from focusing on too wide a time period as well as running too short. Man verwendete sogar für das Album ein klassisches Viva-tonal/Elecrical-Process-Label von Columbia Records, einer der ältesten und angesehensten Hersteller von Phonographen und Schallplatten, wurde 1888 gegründet und begann 1901 mit der Produktion von Schallplatten.If you had a bootleg copy of these shows you would think it was great but not on an official release.

Guitar lines seem to be on the verge of wandering entirely out of sync with the drums only to fall in on beat with a satisfied breath. The extra discs yield the usual Bootleg pleasures: The Disc 2 version of “Cold Irons Bound” features stunning alternate lyrics about “stones in the pathway hurled” and “clouds of blood,” while the live versions of “’Til I Fell in Love With You” and “Standing in the Doorway” inflect the songs with sinewy hints of roadhouse blues, soul, gospel. Shades of Howlin' Wolf indeed, and Not Dark Yet and Make You Feel My Love are major late career triumphs, in terms of performance and composition. There are multiple versions of both songs littered across Fragments, and it is fascinating to hear them expand and contract, changing shapes and keys and tempos. It’s as devoted as he ever sounded, and behind him, Garnier and Mangurian play so subtly and understated they register as lighting.But the true glory of these recordings is witnessing session legends like Mangurian, Jim Dickinson, and Bucky Baxter—giants whose playing pushed the blood through the veins of American song—sound momentarily lost, reverent, uncertain. There are too many times I've bought stuff that has "alternate versions" of songs, and invariably they're just alternate takes of the same song, no real noticeable differences. With such a vast amount of material available for Dylan's career, it is easy sometimes to go for years without hearing a particular album or era.
