Recording type: ProShot
City/Venue: New York, USA /Madison Square Garden/October 16, 1992
This set brings together all available rehearsals, interviews, extras,
and performances. It was compiled in the spirit of other "Genuine" sets,
eg., The Genuine Basement Tapes, where all available resources are
sought for the sake of completeness. It thus includes three
pre-broadcast performances, two by G.E. Smith and one by John Hammond,
Jr., that are not included on previous DVD sets, as well as interviews
that were conducted with the performers. It also restores the original
order of the pre-broadcast and broadcast performances. Finally, Disk 4
contains an overdubbed version of My Back Pages, the one in which
Dylan's vocal was "improved".
Number of discs: 4

This four-disk set is culled from the best available sources and was
professionally-edited and authored by Backpages. Except for the G.E.
Smith and John Hammond, Jr. pre-broadcast performances, the quality is
excellent. The Smith and Hammond performances were transferred from a
3rd generation tape and are thus only fair video quality with audio
static.
The lengthy effort that went into collecting the best resources, coupled
with the unparalleled excellence of the editing, authoring, screen
shots, and artwork, surely merits this remarkable set at least a top 10
ranking. It was envisioned and produced in the spirit of the "Genuine"
Basement Tapes and Bootleg Series CD-R compilations. Thus, while the
Disk 1 rehearsals and extras may not be as entertaining as the rest of
the set, these items had to be included for the sake of completeness.
While three of the disk 2 pre-broadcast performances are of inferior
technical quality, they are the best that could be obtained and will
have to do until the master tapes are made available.
