Summary: Essential Live Album
Comment: Ranks right up with the best live albums ever such as Live at Leeds, Allman Brothers/Fillmore, Frampton Comes Alive, Johnny Cash at San Quenten, Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard. Nuff said. Essential live album and a desert island disk(s).

Summary: The Best Live Rock and Roll Record of All Time
Comment: I'd been listening to the Electric half of this record for years before CBS/Sony finally released it as part of the Bootleg Series. Yes, I was listening to the bootleg. What Dylan fan hadn't been. Rolling Stone Magazine certified this as one of the best records of all time, a bootleg, imagine that.
The stuff with the band, Lord or Lord, it's good. The unreleased "Tell Me Momma" is a rocker of the first order. The Electric reworkings of "I Don't Believe You" and "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" turns them into brand new songs, rock and roll beauties. And "One Too Many Mornings" who would've thought you could make a rocker out of that one, but Dylan did and did it well. But the closer here, wow! Bob Dylan shouts out "Like a Rolling Stone," and you just want to scream it along with him. Jeez, I can't say enough good about this record.

Summary: best song writer that lives on this earth
Comment: As a guitar player i am amused of this record. The cohrds are simple and easy and the melody catchy. And the words! he can write so beautifully and you can see this man was born to be an artist. I love all of Bob's music (except for the eighties).Many people at that time (and some now) ruther bob's early music, and think his change to electric was negative, but I think that the change was perfect. He seems to have such a good time and I cant stop smiling whenever I hear that amazing sand and glue voice.He inspired me to write my own music and to not let enything stop me. I have also readen his autobiography, and seen the movie about him by D. A. Pennbaker about bob's 1965 tour in England.Martin scorseze beautiful movie "No direction home"(and the new and cool I'm not there").I think Bob's an amazing artist because he is constantly changin' like he said it "I go to sleep as one person and wake up as another, i am changing all the time". My massage here is to tell you that this is a great album and so is all of Bob's work- so Hear his music! Read his lyrics! see his interviews and shows ant let him change you like he changed me.

Summary: Best rock concert recording ever?
Comment: I haven't a clue as to how true it is that this is the greatest rock concert recording ever. How can you really judge that? There have been so many great concert recordings after all. But after listening to this album I feel like saying this is the greatest rock concert recording ever. This performance by Bob Dylan blew me away. I absolutely love the way he sings his songs here. It is the strangest thing to me just how real Dylan can sound. Just like people have said, there are times when he sounds more real than anybody else. And you do experience that listening to this CD.
The concert is of coarse the legendary 1966 Royal Albert Hall "Judas Concert" and listening to it you experience history in the making. Man I am so glad I have rediscovered an appreciation for Dylan and discovered this amazing album.

Summary: Heads or Tails?
Comment: Allow me to bore you with personal information; I love Bobby's old acoustic folk and blues. I said that because it's relevant as I disliked the acoustic half of this particular set. It all seems a bit redundant with greater performances of the same songs to be found elsewhere. It's no wonder he went electric. To these ears he sounds a bit tired of doing what he'd already done ad-infinitum. The second electric "judas" disk by contrast is nothing short of exhilarating. As under-appreciative as I generally am of live recordings, this one generates sparks. There's not much as gratifying as great live performances, they just don't seem to sound as good on replay - nothing surprising in that I guess and there must be plenty of performers who find the studio environment a little too restrictive as well. Mejustthinks the immediacy and virtuosity can get lost in the medium somewhere. And so it is with this powerful live set as well -we don't exactly recapture the moment but we do get Dylan at his most strident and vibrant. This is the young firebrand reassuming control, tossing off the stuffy old orthodoxy and the short leash of the folky intelligentsia, simultaneously launching himself headlong into the furnace of his own creative vision. And I should not forget to mention the Band. Those boys sure create some fire of their own. Play it loud!

Editorial Reviews:

Nineteen ninety-eight: The same year he dances with Soy Bomb at the Grammys, his record label finally issues Bob Dylan's ultimate live document. A classic case of not giving the audience what they want but what they need, Mr. Dylan's oft-bootlegged 1966 gig begins with lovely and supple folk that foreshadows folk music's turn from protest song to introspection. The album's true highlight is the legendarily ill received and rocked-out electric set, with Dylan backed by members of the Band. There are too many perfect, on-fire guitar solos by Robbie Robertson to count, and Dylan himself responds to the audience's angry bewilderment with equal parts menace, grace, and brilliance. --Mike McGonigal
