Description

Gold RIAA sales award for the bootlegged Bob Dylan 'Royal Albert Hall' Concert, presented to legendary Dylan photographer Barry Feinstein

Official serial number hologram-style RIAA gold sales award presented to "Barry Feinstein to commemorate RIAA Certified Gold Sales of more than 250,000 copies of the Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings double compact disc 'The Bootleg Series Vol. 4, Bob Dylan Live 1966, The 'Royal Albert Hall' Concert.'" Impressively framed with its CDs, plate, and album image over an in-concert image to an overall size of 21.25 x 17.25. Award retains its original backing with Ill-Eagle Enterprises label intact. In fine condition.

Released in 1998 as Vol. 4 in the Bob Dylan 'Bootleg Series,' Bob Dylan Live 1966 features a live recording from Dylan's May 17, 1966 concert at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, England—a bootleg initially attributed to the Royal Albert Hall. The concert is famed as a transitional moment in Dylan's career, opening with a typical solo acoustic set before launching into an 'electric' act with Dylan backed by the Hawks. The 'electric' Dylan was met with uproar from the folksy audience, sparking a legendary confrontation between Dylan and a heckler who yelled out 'Judas!' Dylan turned to his band, told them to 'play it fuckin' loud,' and ripped into 'Like a Rolling Stone' to end the show.

Legendary rock photographer Barry Feinstein served as the exclusive photographer on Bob Dylan’s 1966 European tour and again for Dylan and The Band’s 1974 tour of the United States. His greatest photographs of Dylan—perhaps most famously, the cover of the 1964 album The Times They Are A-Changin'—have been collected in the book Real Moments: Bob Dylan by Barry Feinstein.

From the personal collection of Barry Feinstein and accompanied by a letter of authenticity from his estate.
