Double live albums frequently come off as redundant and indulgent but in the case of television the blow up comes awfully close to being an essential document simply because the band s studio albums didn t always capture the rawness and spontaneity that fueled their on stage improvisations.
It sees the babd rip through songs from their classic marquee moon and a couple from follow up adventure in a manner capturing a spontaneity perhaps lacking on the albums.
A brilliant live album is made even better with the remastered version enhancing the sound the original release was very murky.
The improvised passages and extended version of bob dylan s knocking on heaven s door are electric.
