Ah, the beard. Warning: staring at the artwork too long could cause ingrown hairs. Another cool Cat title: this time a good audience from the Newport Folk Festival. Among the many highlights includes Bob's reading of "Tears of Rage" done in a quick, almost rap-style of delivery, with the band contributing background vocals on the chorus that eerily echo the late great Richard Manuel. "Tears" is one of the bonus tracks from 8-4-02 included at the end of the 2nd disc. As far as the main chunk of this title is concerned though, Bob and his band play hard (especially on "Down in the Groove"). The sound is a little thin but still great. Just don't look too long at the beard.
