Rolled Back My Sleeve





















He's spoiling us... When the poet laureate of rock & roll is involved, overkill never comes into it, and a grand total of ten Rolling Thunder '75 gigs in pristine sound quality is always welcome. For dedicated Bobcats who have already worn out these shows in bootleg form however, the rehearsals and rarities presented here are the real treat of course. Take a wonderful interpretation of the Irish folk ballad Easy And Slow for instance, from the Seacrest Motel rehearsals. Or how about a slow-burning, drastically rewritten If You See Her, Say Hello from the S.I.R. rehearsals? "She might be in Babylon..." Right on.
