Six songs from the 1976 album Desire were previewed here together with two from Blood On the Tracks (not enough) and the balance drawn from many of his more folk based songs. On this album, the amplified guitars side of Bob Dylan that was so clear on Live 1966 is downplayed.

For my tastes, there are too many of my favourites missing. When I listen to a Dylan studio album, it tends to be Highway 61 Revisited or Blood On the Tracks.
