Thanks kads for your info! So I can finally storage the QM version in the attic.
Godfather has also chosen a nice cover shot for this boxset. There are also many not so flattering pictures from this period (one of them was used for the anthology from the wanted man label).

Just got this one yesterday. Great that a label is devoting a full box set at this period which is a bit forgotten. I always liked these shows for some reason and it’s nice to finally have a bunch of them collected this way.
Godfather is doing a really good job with these releases! Hope they keep up the good work for a long long time.

I have been a big Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fan since ’85 and catched them in Rotterdam in 87 with Dylan and then discovered Dylan. So this box is a treat to me. All the memories come back! I already owned some complete Dylan/Petty CD sets but this gem brings together some amazing and excellent sounding Dylan shows and apparently these Italian shows were among the best of this tour! The quality of all discs is great!

To answer Matts22′s question about Torino, I have a download of that Torino 87 QM’s release but this is superior!

Thanks a lot for this great review! I will get my boxset in December. Thanks Godfather for including “Senor” from Dortmund on the bonus CD. It’s cool to have it finally on silver disc.
Does anybody know how Godfather’s Turin tape sounds comparing to the “Torino 1987″ from Quality Masters with the famous ugly artwork?
