The first disc seems to function as a sampler for other stuff (The Minneapolis Hotel Tape, Carnegie Hall, a Witmark demo, etc.) that would be better suited for full releases. Still, the "soundtrack" helps address some oversights (only two tracks from the Blonde on Blonde sessions were included on Vol. 2), and provides a clearly-mic'ed alternative to the muffled "Thin Man" on Live 1966. <br /><br />Given the era and the odds & ends (hehe) approach, I really wish they had included the alternate version of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (included on the Love & Theft bonus disc with "I Was Young When I Left Home"), the original "If You Gotta Go..." single, the live b-side version of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues", the mis-pressed early version of "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" and the beautiful instrumental version of "I'll Keep It With Mine". The latter rivals the best stuff on the Pat Garrett soundtrack.
