Product description

A monumental 36-disc box set featuring every known recording from Bob Dylan’s mythic and controversial 1966 tour of the US, UK, Europe and Australia.

With the exception of the Manchester concert (May 17, 1966) released as Bob Dylan Live 1966 – The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 in 1998, a pair of songs appearing on the 1985 Biograph compilation and a smattering of others, the overwhelming majority of tracks and performances on Bob Dylan: The 1966 Live Recordings are previously unreleased in any format--official or bootlegged--and are being made available now for the very first time.

All the songs on The 1966 Live Recordings were written by Bob Dylan (vocal, guitar, piano, harmonica) with the sole exception of "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," a traditional song arranged by Bob Dylan for concert performance. Dylan is accompanied on these recordings by Robbie Robertson (guitar), Rick Danko (bass, backing vocals), Richard Manuel (piano), Garth Hudson (organ) and Mickey Jones (drums). (Sandy Konikoff plays drums on the White Plains and Pittsburgh shows only.)

Meticulously researched, curated and restored for this extraordinary collection, Bob Dylan: The 1966 Live Recordings is drawn from three main audio sources: soundboards, CBS Records mobile recordings and audience tapes.

Beautiful nostalgic trip

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2016

I was in the audience for the Birmingham concert and the recording here is just as I remember it, including Dylan's comment
"there's dirt on the stage". I had no idea that it was recorded at all so I am delighted with this as it brought back so many memories. The first half of the concert was spellbinding (like many other venues on this tour) and I remember vividly how extraordinarily loud the second half was. Some of the audience were shouting "get rid of the band" and some actually walked out of the theatre. I didn't understand this, as Dylan had "gone electric" on some of his albums already at that point. This concert was a tremendous experience and in some ways it changed my life, because the music scene was turned upside down by what could be defined as Dylan's "mercurial alchemy." Dylan was looking for a mercurial sound on the "Blonde on Blonde" album and he surely managed that in spades. This was the birth of folk rock if anything was.
For true Dylan fans I think this box set is an indispensable record of Dylan in 1966 so I would not think twice about investing about £100 on it - it is worth every penny.

Necessary Jewels

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2020

Trouble starts when Bob Dylan and the Hawks flourish their dazzling and mysterious music in front of audiences eager to see the real Burl Ives – with hilarious results. Some of the high-wire fun that follows is badly recorded or cut off in mid-flow, but it still features the spooky moment at almost every concert where the whole house bursts into laughter as the singer admits he can’t find his knees, several numbers dedicated to the Taj Mahal, and that now notorious episode when the future leader of the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn (well, it certainly sounds like him) yells out: “Judas!” Hearing all that will cost you serious time and money. Is it worth it?

Yes and no. The Manchester and Albert Hall sets are available separately at a far lower price, and probably represent the fiercest nights of the tour. Other discs contain murky material that only the devout will play more than once. But limiting yourself to those two stand-alone CDs will also rob you of some very necessary jewels – notably, “Just Like a Woman” and “Mr Tambourine Man” from Scotland and Paris, where Dylan’s harmonica work threatens to soar into orbit and completely leave the planet.

Other parts aren’t so sublime. “Many Mornings” and “Tom Thumb” are really the same trudging tune, and Dylan is audibly bored to death with “Desolation Row.” It’s like a good joke that he’s already told far too often. Elsewhere the Hawks back him to perfection, but Robbie Robertson sounds under mortifying pressure. Early concerts reveal how hard it was to slot his brash, roadhouse style into Dylan’s nimble assault, and it’s not until the last run of shows that he finally comes to grips with the proper sound of these songs, prising their spines apart and playing through the gaps. Come the Albert Hall, he’s peerless. Even so, the suave, minimalist sideman from “King Harvest” or “Dirge” is barely in evidence, and if nothing else this set reveals the extraordinary repurposing of his skill that Robertson achieved at Big Pink.

He’s also voiced his disquiet over the audience hostility Dylan attracted. It’s difficult to gauge the depth of that from this. Some gigs are rowdy, others rude, Paris utterly hushed, but you can’t help thinking Robertson may have stretched his tales just a tad in the telling. After all, with Ronnie Hawkins, he’d played at Southern backwoods shindigs where the crowds resembled tooled-up extras from “Deliverance,” so a few Stalinist folkies barking from the cheap seats can hardly have counted as much of a threat. Dylan, meanwhile, sounds unconcerned by the whole rigmarole, blithely patient in the face of fools. He’s contended in recent years that “Judas” had been a vile insult on any number of levels (though one would guess its anti-Semitism was unintended), but you wouldn’t have known it at the time. Here Dylan parades in maximum Dada pomp, the hippest of the hip, charged with a seamless, glacial, Class-A disdain. His poise rarely falters, even when one friendly voice assures him, “We’re with you, Bob.” Incredibly, he sped on at this frightening pace for another two months before that fabled bike crash - or whatever it was - brought the craziness collected in this box to a halt. Dylan was lucky to clamber out alive.

Half a century on, his views on this razor-thin man and the capering uproar he incited night after night remain obscure. In old age Dylan may well dismiss it all as youthful folly, laugh at his own accelerated masquerade, mourn those playing here who are now long gone – or perhaps, like many of us, scarcely credit the beauty and naked sense of risk that these recordings still display.

Firstly the Quality is sublime. Every harmonica and guitar note rings out brilliantly. I'm listening sequentially through the Tour which seems to work well. Effectively travelling largely around the U.K.; including Bristol, Liverpool and Leicester.
The acoustic and electric sets are both equally great and the jarring contrast as the tour progresses keeps the interest going. As you listen the opening chords of Tell Me, Momma are the entree to the electric set.
Must be Dylan's best tour?

Fabulous

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2018

Just a stunning collection. There’ not a lot else to be said. It’s for the aficionados, obviously. The already available Free Trade Hall set probably remains the best but some of the nuances from some of the other concerts are truly fascinating. It’s great to hear “Judas” plying his trade night after night.

Landmark collection

History in the making but I feel for the fans who are no longer here to enjoy these monumental recordings, people who collected any scraps that were available over the years. These shows should have been public 25 years ago, savour them now. The music is brilliant but the package is ordinary, the booklet is disappointing.
