Bob Dylan "Live 1966" (1998)
Recorded during Dylan's controversial early move to electric music. The
first half of the concert/album is Dylan alone playing acoustic
tracks. For the second half, Dylan is accompanied by his excellent
backing band the Hawks, who would go on to find fame themselves as "the
Band" (see days 127 and 156).
The book states that Dylan and the Hawks were heckled and jeered during
the electric set... maybe that was edited out of the version I listened
to because it just sounds like cheers for the duration.
I like the mix of sounds between the two sets and I guess it's an important historical musical recording, but at an hour and a half, this is a touch too much Bob for my tastes.
