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.
