Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Bob Dylan - Live at Jones Beach Theatre: Wantagh, New York June 30, 1988: 3.5 stars
Good bootleg but not as fantastic as the reviews indicate. A friend of mine saw this show (or one near to this date) and said it was one of the best shows he's ever seen. I can see how that would be, although it doesn't come all the way through on this. Performance is a little thin and wooden, and Dylan’s vocals and the slappy bass are way too prominent. Not going to print out a B+ boot.
