April 18, 2003 - Dallas, Texas - 2 CDs [top]
Disc 1 - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, Tell Me That it Isn't True, Tombstone Blues, Saving Grace, Things Have Changed, Just Like a Woman, Drifter's Escape, Never Gonna Be The Same Again, Dignity
Disc 2 - Easy Lovin' (song by Freddie Hart), Bye And Bye, Honest With Me, Standing in the Doorway, Summer Days, Like a Rolling Stone, All Along the Watchtower
Have artwork. CEDAR 1 (Very listenable recording, with a warm, enthusiastic crowd. Maybe a little boomy and vocally distant compared to recent recordings.) I also have another version which sounds very similar but has different disc timings. Another version - (68min+27min - D2 starts with SITD), alternate version 'a', sound quality is probably between bw and bd version but this one does not have the wind noise; excellent sound.
April 19, 2003 - Austin, Texas - 2 CDs [top]
Disc 1 - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, Tell Me That it Isn't True, Highway 61 Revisited, Saving Grace, Things Have Changed, Just Like a Woman, Drifter's Escape, One Too Many Mornings, High Water (For Charley Patton)Disc 2 - Lay Lady Lay, Bye And Bye, Honest With Me, Standing in the Doorway, Summer Days, Like a Rolling Stone, All Along the Watchtower
Have artwork. CEDAR 1 (At the beginning of "Bye and Bye," a subdued male voice says, "And you're the best thing that I've ever seen." Very good, warm recording, with unobtrusive crowd and clear instruments (though separation could be better). Many problems resulted in the early distribution of this recording from conflicting sample rates, and so different copies will show different problems. Small problems that seem unrelated to the sample rate issue include: small skip at d1 t1 2:58; pop at d1 t9 3:05; pop at d2 t6 7:00; and small pops between most tracks on d2. Slight distortion has been reported as well. Apparently this recording is sometimes called "First Night in the Backyard.")

I'm trying to listen -- I didn't pay money to see you." Minidisc recording, with very good sound on the whole.)

A tiny bit boomy with generally unobtrusive crowd. Overall an A-.)

CEDAR 2 (About 4 seconds into "Just Like Tom Thumb," a woman says, "I wanna hear... [something inaudible]." Nice minidisc recording with upfront vocals. A- range. Runs a bit "hot" during the loud bits, and some occasional wind distortion.) also have CEDAR 3 (8 seconds before "Drifter's" begins, a nearby male voice shouts "Gunsmoke" twice in quick succession. Good quality, a little boomy and compromised at points by crowd chatter. CEDAR 1 (A woman's scream starts off track 1 (0:02 - 0:04). Overall, a little distant and thin with a boomy bass; separation is limited; crowd enthusiastic but unobtrusive. Also includes 2 songs by Sheryl Crow.)
