Summary: One of Dylan's Greatest Live Albums
Comment: Every time I get get a new Dylan album its almost like I am listening to him for the first time. Each album is unique and has its own personality.This will complement your Dylan collection if you haven't purchased it already. I recommend this to any and all Bob Dylan fans.

Summary: Great for those of us who were there at the start...
Comment: If you, like me, found Dylan early in his career, and liked the folk protest Bobby even better than the later rock and roll Bob, this item should be in your collection. It is the concert I missed, except that the one with Joan Baez I skipped was in Philadelphia, on the same tour. My friends wanted me to go, but I had my first girlfriend in my life and couldn't afford concert and train tickets for both of us, so I passed on it. The romance lasted seven rocky years. My enjoyment of Dylan has been sporadic, but has somewhat endured for 45 years or more. My liking for Joanie went on for nearly 20 years. Many, many times I wished I had gone to Philly even if it had made girlfriend mad. This is recorded quite well, overall, except for the duets with Baez that conclude the concert. Joan was singing along, but a word behind Dylan, and that isn't as effective or affecting as it should have been. Otherwise, this shows listeners who never "knew" the folkie Bob Dylan what the initial buzz of his career was all about. This is a good price, although I found my copy in a used bin at my chain music chain for half the listed price, so I am even more content. But the cost, considering that you get 100 minutes of the young but already legendary singer songwriter, is quite reasonable. Don't be afraid to buy this if you are a fan.

Summary: Makes me wish I had a time machine
Comment: This live album catches Bob Dylan on Halloween night 1964, right between Another Side and Bringing It All Back Home, and that is one hell of a time to catch Bob Dylan. He opens with "The Times They Are A-Changin,'" and though the crowd loves it he evidently doesn't. His performance makes the song sound like an unpleasant obligation, as if to say, "Aw man this is so lame, I don't care about that junk anymore, why can't I get out of playing this generation-defining single I recorded earlier this year?" Once that's out of the way he doesn't play "Blowin' in the Wind," which would be a little like if Nirvana had refused to play "Teen Spirit" in 1992. Which come to think of it they may well have done. But anyway Woody Guthrie's heir apparent is well on his way to declining the role and mantle of his former idol. In a 19-song set he plays only six protest songs. Fortunately two of those, "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues" and "Who Killed Davey Moore?" are excellent non-album songs that I don't know where else you can find.
Dylan plays three songs from his then forthcoming Bringing It All Back Home, two of which appear as works in progress. He introduces "Gates of Eden" as "A Sacrilegeous Lullaby in D Minor" and he introduces "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding" as "It's Alright Ma, It's Life and Life Only" and then screws up the part about the man who lives in the vault. The crowd's total silence during these songs combined with Dylan's exceptionally slow and clear delivery suggest that the audience had never heard this stuff before. Surprisingly, some people applaud the opening of "Mr. Tambourine Man," though I don't know how they could have recognized the song five months before the album came out. If you're a Dylan fan (and honestly I don't think anyone else could possibly be interested in a 44-year-old double live album titled "The Bootleg Series: Volume 6"), then this set is worth hearing just for the pre-release airings of these songs. They sound like the ink's still wet.
On the slightly weaker second disc, Dylan's girlfriend Joan Baez comes out and joins him for four songs. The almost painfully forceful clarity of Baez's famous voice has often reminded me of staring directly into the sun, but fortunately on this album she's usually a little bashful about turning on her vocal searchlight full power so to speak, and anyway Dylan's generally mic'd a little better than she is. So to my surprise I actually liked the first of their joint songs.
Getting away from his protest folkie persona, the man is jokey, shucksy and, of course, brilliant. He can't say "In all seriousness" without bursting out laughing, and, just after Mr. Zimmerman notes that it's Halloween, he says, "I've got my Bob Dylan mask on." He sounds like a 23-year-old wunderkind having fun and already tired of taking himself seriously. He forgets the words of his own song "I Don't Believe You" and has to ask the audience how the first verse goes. Someone in the crowd asks him what he does for a living, and he replies, "Anything you say! I hope I never have to make a living." When Joan Baez says she's gonna play an early Bob Dylan song, he says, "Go ahead! See if I care!" Overall, this album made me think that Bob Dylan's genius was something that just sort of happened to him and that he wasn't entirely sure what to do with it.

Summary: Missing Link between Greenwich Village minstrel & rock star
Comment: I have listened to this CD at least a dozen times and I continue to enjoy it. To me, it is the missing link between Bob Dylan, the Greenwich Village minstrel, and Bob Dylan, the hugely successful rock star and poet. His stage presence is that of a young guy who is nervous but is nevertheless having a great time. Example: after strumming, tuning, and strumming his guitar again, it becomes apparent there's a problem--he then cheerfully calls out, "Does anyone remember the beginning of this song?"
Dylan is young--and he is so fresh and unaffected that it is difficult to reconcile that with the insight necessary to write certain of the songs he performed ("It's Alright Ma," "Gates of Eden," "Hard Rain"). I do not fault him for later becoming aloof and obnoxious--how else to handle the extreme success and attention in your early 20's?--but I appreciate this CD because the performance gives a peek at Dylan before those changes occurred.
Well worth the listen--enjoy!

Summary: Not 5
Comment: I'm giving this cd 4 stars only because I have to compare it to other live recordings of dylan. Bootleg #4 (the acoustic part) is by far my favorite. This one is a little looser, more chattier with the audience and longer, but I don't think Baez singing along to God on their side is an addition. He is also a little sloppier in singing and playing.
Still great of course.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The brooding Bob Dylan of the 1966 live collection in the Dylan bootleg series gave way to an even more hooded character on the second live bootleg album from 1974. Which makes the jump back to a younger Dylan in this set all the more jarring. Here is Dylan as an eager-to-please 23 year old with nothing between him and his worshippers but a guitar, a harmonica, and, for four songs, his lover, Joan Baez. In marked contrast to the acerbic electric Dylan of the mid-'60s and the tight-lipped living legend of the mid-'70s, here is Dylan as entertainer. Joking and bantering with the crowd, Dylan deals up some favorites ("The Times They Are A-Changin'," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"), but is already shedding his earnest folkie persona; imagine another artist a mere two years into his career declining to perform a hit on the scale of "Blowin' in the Wind." But Dylan was moving fast. Having completed the last all-acoustic collection of his early years three months before the Philharmonic concert, he would record the half-electric/half-acoustic Bringing It All Back Home three months later. Three of the four acoustic songs from that album are presented here, as are a handful of then-unreleased songs, including "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues," "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" (which was soon given a rock arrangement), and a protest-period remnant, "Who Killed Davey Moore?" Had Concert at the Philharmonic Hall appeared the year it was recorded, it would been seen as a respite for folk fans to catch their collective breath before Dylan reappeared in his rock & roll Rimbaud guise. Heard for the first time decades later, it's simply a testament of his gifts as a showman and songwriter. --Steven Stolder
