In recent years, the "Mike Millard Tapes" have been increasingly digitized from direct masters or low-generation tapes. These tapes were recorded by Mike Millard, a taper familiar to fans for his exceptional audience recording skills. The same label has released several recordings using these newly digitized Mike Millard Tapes as masters, but if you look closely, you may have noticed that there are two types: "Brushed Mike Millard Tapes" and "Legendary Mike Millard Tapes." Not all Mike Millard Tapes have perfect sound quality; some have considerable room for improvement, and the "Brushed" series features significantly improved versions. The "Legendary" series consists of recordings that were originally near-perfect in sound quality, leaving little room for improvement, and only minimal editing such as light cuts between tracks.

This time, we're featuring a recording from the early stages of Bob Dylan's Never Ending Tour in 1989, from the "Legendary" series, which already had excellent sound quality and required almost no equalization. The four-piece band delivers a tight, polished rock sound. The guitarist is G.E. Smith, familiar from Hall & Oates. He also led the backing band at Bob Fest, demonstrating the trust Dylan had in him at the time.
