The Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live, 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall Concert"

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live, 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall Concert" Review

(2-LP set) This May 17th, 1966 concert, in which Dylan played electric material in front of a British audience, was actually recorded in Manchester. Even those who've owned this recording for many a year should be tempted by this official package, as it has been expanded to include the 8 electric rock songs from the original bootleg, but also the 7 solo acoustic performances that comprised the first half of the show. There's also a 56-page booklet with a fine essay by Dylan's friend Tony Glover (a notable folk musician in his own right). This is not just an interesting adjunct to Dylan's '60s discography; it's as worthy of attention as anything else he recorded during that decade.

Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8 Feature

• Bob Dylan - Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol.

Bob Dylan's unpredictable nature has always kept his audience on their toes. Given his mood, a song performed on one day can seem like an entirely different composition on the next. On the two-CD Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8--certainly one of the most riveting of the Minnesota bard's collections of unreleased recordings, studio demos, alternate takes, and live tracks--two versions of "Mississippi," which Dylan originally wrote for Time Out of Mind, bear that out. The first, where he is backed only by producer Daniel Lanois' poignant electric guitar, finds him wistful in his memories of Rosie. But by disc two, where he reprises the song with a whole band, his reading of the same lyric is dispassionate, as if he were recounting the experience of "the stranger that nobody sees," as he puts it. While the second rendition disappoints, the 27-song album, which covers material from 1989's Oh Mercy through 2006's Modern Times, offers a king's riches. In replacing the banjo with cranked-up electric guitars on a blistering live performance of "High Water (For Charley Patton)," he makes the song nearly an angry manifesto. (Another live song, "Ring Them Bells," thrills with the stunning raw power of his early performances, and renders the studio original utterly bland.) Not everything seems up to Dylan's remarkable standards (conjuring a black R & B voice for "Can't Escape From You," an homage to early rock and roll, seems off kilter and silly). But the breadth and scope of the material (from sneering and tender folk originals, to covers of Jimmie Rodgers and Robert Johnson blues, to a collaboration with bluegrass king Ralph Stanley, and side excursions into ragtime and waltz) reinforce his position as the premier songwriter of his generation. -– Alanna Nash 2 CDs with 27 songs in a brilliant box with a 60 page booklet.

Bob Dylan Live 1975 (The Bootleg Series Volume 5)

Bob Dylan Live 1975 (The Bootleg Series Volume 5) Review

Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder tour was a gypsy caravan of sorts involving such friends as Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn and Joni Mitchell. Now, for the first time, this legendary roadshow is displayed in all its glorious, mixed-up confusion on 2 CDs that cull 22 performances from the Worcester, Boston, Cambridge and Montreal shows. A 56-page booklet accompanies It Ain't Me, Babe; Mr. Tambourine Man; Blowin' in the Wind; Just Like a Woman , and more. Must-hear mid-'70s Dylan!
