Sorry if the Manchester sound wasn't up to scratch.

I thought the Festival Hall sound, on the whole, was very good, although they did mess up the start of one song by getting the balance wrong.

Russ' mandolin was a bit quieter than I'd have liked, but it was audible, definitely. Ashley Cleveland's guitar (and flamboyant trousers!) didn't worry me at all, and AFAIR her husband's electric guitar only featured significantly on 2 songs...it blended into the general sound on the others. And gospel songs have a long history of being accompanied by electric guitar (ref Sister Rosetta Tharpe). No more out of place than Michael McGoldrick playing pipes on "Country" songs!

Still, I wasn't one of those who yelled "Judas" at Dylan and I think some of the stuff he did with The Band was among his best work, so who am I to talk?
