Jerry's voice is shot, but his tone is DIALED.

Technically Phil & Friends, but this is a nice (only?) acoustic version. Link: https://archive.org/details/1994-09-24.paf.sbd.zelner-vernon

Greetings and welcome MuffinMan! Thanks for turning me on to this, it's a great version. Bobby is singing his heart out, and the rest of the boys support him quite musically. This is how Dylan is meant to be performed!

Thanks djchall– I was wondering about what was being done to Bobby's sound (at the board?). No big deal, just curious.

Had to check it out since I'd not heard it before. Can anyone clue me in on what's going on here?

Nice version! Long and trippy, with some nice playing from Vince and Bobby especially (Phil sounds a bit too low in the AUD for me to really tell either way). I realize it’s not for everybody, but I have always liked MIDI Jerry, and while I think that the broader palette of colors could be a crutch sometimes, it definitely expands the band’s sound and is masterful when tastefully applied (like here). 90s fans, this is the business. Others, get past the date and give me substantive criticism if you don’t like it, I’d love to talk about it.
