The Ramones - It's Alive 1974-1996 (2 discs)

Eminently historic from their first ever appearance - CBGB 1974. Only watched the first disc so far and it's pretty exciting. Contains well over twenty venues and has about four hours plus overall of performances. Best is the New Year's Eve concert at the Rainbow, London which was the "It's Alive" album as well. However, there is a lack of on-stage histrionics.

Bob Dylan - The other Side of the Mirror - Newport Folk Festival 1963-65

Pretty serviceable document of all of Mr. Big Nose's performances in Newport. The change to electric is hardly as startling as I hoped as it's more like a logical evolution. A good companion piece to Live 1964. Songs don't differ that much from the studio versions.
