Bob Dylan - The 1966 Live Recordings: The Untold Story Behind The Recordings

[@elliottchrist]

There's being a Dylan fan and there's being a "oh man I wish I could hear more of that acoustic soundcheck version of 'Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?'" Dylan fan.

[@elliottchrist]

Guess which one I am.

[@shuax]

AHAHAH literally, I would kill for that version

[@balexsmith7952]

Definitely fall in the latter category. I got goosebumps when I realized what he was singing.

[@edword3457]

Jimi Hendrix's version on the BBC recordings is a fitting tribute to Bob, he also loved Dylan soo much! But yeah, if only we had a raw acoustic version

[@manyworlds]

Much respect to Richard Alderson. He seems almost heartbroken when asked to talk about the tour some 50 years later, but at least he lived to see these recordings get the recognition they deserve.

[@loge10]

This video is about Richard Alderson and what he went through to capture this historical moment of music history. Amazing that I see no comments here about his contribution...thank you, Richard, for the effort and the suffering to bring us this.

Martin Scorsese did a great movie about Dylan where you can see alot of the backstage stuff from this era. The movie is called No Direction Home... I think..

[@lindadote]

jacob bech ........there’s another movie by D. A. Pennebaker titled “Don’t Look Back” that covers a 3 week tour of England by Bob in 1965, also worth a look.

There's also Eat This Documents, an unreleased, once aired tv special directed by Bob himself, of the 1966 tour. But yes, the outtakes on Don't Look Back I've always wanted to see

[@benlonergan4196]

I love watching old video recordings from the past where people are just behaving normally. Like Bob Dylan having trouble with his microphone and asking his engineer to help him fix it and they're back and forth and all. Whenever you hear music or watch films from the past they're always filtered through some cultural lens and through what the artist is trying to say. But watching videos like this shows you that they're normal people just like us. Even the young genius Dylan walks around frustrated and says goofy things to his co-workers.

[@paulsavage5057]

What is a normal person? Please tell me because they aren't like your friends or you. Now normal is a bad word, isn't it? It shows that Dylan is an asshole unlike the people he worked with.

[@jaw444]

i think that's why they did it--to stay alive, relevant, because song lyrics are literature, ever since Dylan in the early 60s, he opened doors for all those guys, who gave him credit, that you could be yourself, dress like you, act like you, and write what you feel like writing, do your own songs and use them to express anything, any way, crossing the line into what literature is, use of words to reveal life, simple and complex. Dylan didn't need a prize, they needed to give him one.

I absolutely love the 1966 live recordings. I have listened to and watched every bit of material from that tour a million times over. I've laughed to it, I've cried to it, I've played along to it on guitar and vocals, drums, bass, organ, harmonica, lead guitar...something in that tour, the sound, the vibe, the culture, the clashes with the audience...it moves something in me. The acoustic sets feel like an obligation from Bob to the crowd. Bob is so over the acoustic guitar and seems so exhausted, but it gives something to the performance. Then, oh man, "Tell Me, Mama," comes buh-lasting in and it's so, "screw you! In your face, suckers!" I love it! Bob and the boys came to rock the house and every performance was a certified barn-burner. There are so many memorable moments and highlights from the "Royal Albert Hall" recordings, to bootlegs from other cities, to documentaries ("I'll protect you, Mickey.") There was just such a cool, "happening" vibe to it all. Bob seems to become more and more defeated by the end of it, almost desperate for it to be over. It's almost sad at times and it comes across on stage, but it also feels so important and rare that it was all captured in audio and video.

[@kmckenna45]

I’m fascinated by this period because it appears to be BD deconstructing his own musical success - taking the folk music he constructed, but felt weren’t representative of HIS sound. Taking the melodies and lyrics that WERE his and putting it through a true Bob Dylan filter - instead of trying to emulate Guthrie. BD and the Band put it out there - for the audience to HATE - he didn’t appease. Dylan always leads - and allows the public to eventually appreciate his genius.
