Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.8/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

This is an absolutely fantastic record.
Offered first are some of Dylan’s best songs of the era (or frankly ever) performed in a remarkably intimate fashion and stripped back on solo acoustic. Some tempos faster than the original, some slower. Great stuff.
What follows is some incredible blues rock with an amazing band to accompany Dylan. Charged, engaged, bold, passionate, and alive.
A must-listen and one of the great live albums. (Edited)
So damn good, especially when he is solo.

Epic, but the release cuts out the critical talking bits that cement the performance's importance. (Edited)
Yes, it's THAT gig. The first disc, which features the acoustic part of the show, is oKay, a bit dull though to be honest, the second disc, the electric half,is as good as it gets. It's stunning, the energy and grit is infectious, Dylan sounds really fired up, tell me, mom a, is a fantastic opener and it never lets up from there. A genuine piece of rock'n'roll history, this an essential live album that any music fan MUST have in his/her collection. Brilliant. (Edited)
The most necessary of all the bootleg series. A distallation of an individual spirit that would not comprimise in the face of swathes of followers threatening to dessert.
