Free Music Notes for The Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live, 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall Concert"
Free Music Review: The Best Live Rock and Roll Record of All Time
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
Free Music Review: best song writer that lives on this earth
Hit: 5 Stars
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.Free Music Review: Best rock concert recording ever?
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
Free Music Review: Heads or Tails?
Hit: 4 Stars
As uninteresting as it may be to the reader, I have to state that I love Bob's old acoustic folk and blues. I say that because it's relevant as I really 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 that transcends really great live performances, it's just that they usually don't sound anywhere near as good on replay. The immediacy and virtuosity seem to disappear 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 a smart, youthful 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 folksy 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 sparks of their own. Play it loud!Free Music Review: Gave me a Migraine Headache
Hit: 2 Stars
The cover photograph says it all. Monotonous sound structures which get repetitive after the 1st track and you've grasped Dylan's message that life is miserable and I am here to complain about it. Even the Band cannot revive this corpse and the highlight is someone from the audience screaming Judas !
