#100 BOB DYLAN - Carnegie Hall, New York - 1963 (Flac)


BOB DYLAN
Carnegie Hall, New York City, NY
October 26, 1963
(LB-6180)


The complete Carnegie Hall concert began circulating in 2008 via torrent sites as did the six month earlier concert at Town Hall, both shows are superb and will surely be released someday on the official bootleg series. Bob Dylan was moving so fast and leaving a trail of music behind that Columbia’s plans for releasing a concert from these two shows were abandoned. The planned album made it to the acetate stage and crackling copies have circulated for years amongst Dylan collectors.

This is the complete Carnegie Hall concert from October 26, 1963 and is the source tape used by bootleggers ‘Hollow Horn’ for their ‘Unravelled Tales’ release in 2008. Since circulating, it has been subjected to many cut up postings. I’m not sure if the complete original source is still available on the net today but if not, here is your chance to obtain one of Dylan greatest early performances without the bootleggers edits and fades. The sound quality is virtually flawless

High calibre songs from the third album sessions and relegated to outtake status "Percy's Song", "Seven Curses", and "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" were performed to a rapt, sell-out Carnegie audience. Only two tracks from the forthcoming ‘The Times They Are A Changin'' album did not appear on the Carnegie set list; ‘One Too Many Mornings and the closing ‘Restless Farewell’ 

These files stem from my original download saved to hard drive, there were no notes included with the audio files apart from the md5 text. 

This recording was succinctly described by a blog reader as: 

 "One of the most important recordings in American history"
