Taken from the '87 Dead/Dylan tour, this generally disappointing disc only hints at the synergy the pairing occasionally achieved. Dylan made the selections himself, so who knows what his criteria were? My favorite cuts are the simmering "Slow Train Coming" and "Gotta Serve Somebody." "All Along the Watchtower" features some Garcia guitar pyrotechnics, but "Joey," about mobster Joe Gallo, is lumbering and tedious, even more than on Dylan's Desire album.
