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."
