A mixture of old classics, songs he hadn’t played for a while and tracks from World Gone Wrong were all treated to the true authentic voice of Bob Dylan. Not only that but each show seemed better than the previous one and some songs, such as, “Queen Jane” & “Ring Them Bells” , were performed nearly as well as they have ever been, either before or since.
-Andrew Muir (Razor’s Edge)
The concerts @ the Supper Club in Nov 1993 are considered by “most” fans to be “The Real MTV unplugged”. 4 fantastic shows in 2 days, all of them delivered at approximately 60 min.

I think it’s time for Bob to release a “by request” live official bootleg album including things like Queen Jane, Blood in My Eyes & Tight Connection (from these shows) and maybe a couple dozen other gems that have never been officially released. When Bob felt it was a good time to unleash his pipes, it was always a treat. I’d maybe buy that album! … On the other hand, I’ve got a nearly 10-hour playlist of live faves already, so I understand why those who make decisions at Columbia (and a few others) might find such a disc completely superfluous.
