    What strikes you as the cast of thousands run through the Guthrie repertoire on these three discs is just how singable they were--Woody played fast and loose with his melodies, but his words still score and sear.

    Outside of nostalgia, though, much of the work still feels necessary.

    The set is essential for three glorious and long-unavailable performances of classic Guthrie compositions by Dylan & The Band recorded at Carnegie Hall in January 1968. [Oct 2017, p.53] [Album: 9/10 Extras: 7/10]

    This handsome 3-CD box contains both concerts in their entirety for the first time. [Jan 2017, p.104]
