Review:
This is mastered from audience recordings of performances during the May 1998 West Coast tour of Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. The sound quality is comparable with the companion boot Misty Wet With Rain, recorded during the same tour. CIB Archives also produced 2 other boots from the West Coast North American Tour: a 2-CD Bob Dylan boot titled California or Bust!, and a single-CD Joni Mitchell boot titled Mostly Melancholia (Los Angeles, May 22, 1998)
