Notes:

This show had some 'dead air' gaps which have been removed using Cool Edit Pro. The transitions are not flawless but it's still a worthy download...for the price.

The overall Pre-Board sound is identifiably unique. A 1993 "Pre-Board" is from the RTM box set, that means it is a line recording, probably hooked to a sound monitor, but it is not a soundboard (SBD) recording in the sense that it does not represent the feed going out to the audience. It frequently emphasizes several instruments and/or vocals at the expense of others. Most of the RTM box set recordings have Dylan's vocals up front, but often they are recorded too hot and have volume fluctuations as the taper tries to compensate. Some of them, however, are excellent recordings.
