May 7: Bob Dylan – Free Trade Hall, Manchester 1965 (audio)

bob dylan manchester 1965

This is a near perfect soundboard  recording that is good enough quality to be an official release. The show is amazing and deserves a place in even the smallest Dylan collection.

Classic bootleg concert.

Even if Dylan is “bored” at these spring-65 shows.. he’s still brilliant.

bob dylan yokohama 2016

A great night, and a pleasure to see Bob and the band enjoying themselves  and sounding fantastic. I’ve listened to my share of bootlegs and have seen  him in concert a handful of times, but something really special is happening  now. Great music, great delivery, but also intimate and just plain fun. Best  live show I’ve seen from Dylan. Lots of dates coming up – get tickets and  bring some friends – you won’t regret it!

May: Bob Dylan A Coffeehouse in Minneapolis 1961 (audio)



bob dylan 1961

The May tape has never enjoyed the same popularity [as the December tape – The Minnesota Hotel Tape]. Partly because of the low quality of the original recording, and partly due to a remarkably uninspired performance. One of the first times that a young Bob would hear himself on tape, nerves, inexperience, and limited repertoire would result in, at best, this mediocre offering. The tape is significant, however, not only for its historical importance, but also as a standard to compare the December tape. A short seven months that separate the two. A lifetime that separate the two. The interim shows the explosive growth from a kid with a guitar to a Folk Phenomenon.
