Description

Rare signed concert program from Bob Dylan's first-ever UK performance—Royal Festival Hall, London, May 17, 1964

Extraordinary original program for Bob Dylan's first public concert in London, England, held at the Royal Festival Hall on May 17, 1964, four pages, 7.5 x 9.75, signed on the front cover in black ballpoint, "Bob Dylan." The interior features Dylan's poem 'My Life in a Stolen Moment,' a reproduction of Ralph J. Gleason's article 'Bob Dylan, as seen by a Critic,' and a large list of songs from which Dylan selected his set list, headed: "Bob Dylan will introduce his own programme and will select much of it from." Dylan ended up playing 18 songs that night, including 'The Times They Are A-Changin',' 'Who Killed Davey Moore?,' 'Chimes of Freedom,' 'Mr. Tambourine Man,' and 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.' In very good to fine condition, with general handling wear, and a few small stains.

Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from REAL and of a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in full: "In 1964 I went with my wife Tina to the Bob Dylan concert at the Festival Hall. When I left the concert about 5.00pm I met a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time! When I finished talking the crowd had dispersed. When I got back to my car there was Bob Dylan standing on the pavement alone with his guitar. I went up to him and thanked him for a great concert! He was quite polite and he signed my programme for me. He said he was waiting to flag down a taxi. I should have offered him a lift."
