Amazon.com's Best of 1998

Nineteen ninety-eight: The same year he dances with Soy Bomb at the Grammys, his record label finally issues Bob Dylan's ultimate live document. A classic case of not giving the audience what they want but what they need, Mr. Dylan's oft-bootlegged 1966 gig begins with lovely and supple folk that foreshadows folk music's turn from protest song to introspection. The album's true highlight is the legendarily ill received and rocked-out electric set, with Dylan backed by members of the Band. There are too many perfect, on-fire guitar solos by Robbie Robertson to count, and Dylan himself responds to the audience's angry bewilderment with equal parts menace, grace, and brilliance. --Mike McGonigal

Amazon.com essential recording

The greatest live recording in rock & roll history was--officially, at least--buried in the vaults of Columbia Records for more than a quarter of a century. But no more: Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert has surfaced on two discs mixed and mastered from three-track source tapes that put the myriad pirated recordings to shame. More important, Live 1966 documents a momentous artistic showdown between a willful, inflamed, and utterly fearless performer and his headstrong core following. The Dylan of the mid '60s had made the leap from socially conscious voice of his generation to surrealistic electric poet, a transformation that was met with contempt by a vocal element of his audience. The most telling moment of the recording centers on the standoff: A folk zealot in the audience shouts, "Judas!" earning cheers from the contentious crowd. Dylan responds by snarling, "I don't believe you. You're a liar," then turns to his group, the Hawks (soon to become the Band), and, as the intro to "Like a Rolling Stone" takes shape, commands, "Play loud!" A crucial moment and, time has demonstrated, the correct call. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL.......2007-07-18

"She's got everything she needs, she's an artist she don't look back". This recordings got everything YOU need, don't look back. Dylan's recording consistency during this period is unsurpassed by any artist ever. We all know his genius and the 60s is where his music was established and perfected beyond the capabilities of what you would think is humanly possible. This bootleg is a diamond among gems. Two reasons-

a-Dylan's energy and creativity were peaking on even par during this period.

b-Dylan notoriously experimented with his vocals throughout his career, on this recording his experimentation hit perfection.

I own most of Dylan's material, this is the best and by far the most played. I could go in depth regarding this album but most reviews have already done the job. As a hard core Dylan fan I just had to put in my ten cents. One word summary-BEAUTIFUL

5 out of 5 stars Bob Dylan: 1966 Royal Albert Hall.......2007-07-06

I resisted buying this CD for a long time, because I have a bad habit of assuming that overhype = bad. In reality, of course, overhype usually indicates that something is good, and worthy of hype, just not so MUCH hype. I finally bought it, mainly because it was one of the last real holes in my Dylan collection. I never, ever expected it to be a 5-star CD.

But it is. The whole audience/Dylan interaction is every bit as fascinating as its legendary status suggests. In fact, it's all so perfect, it's hard to believe it wasn't planned: the "Judas" cat-call comes right before the very last song; and what is the last song? Only the all-time greatest Dylan classic, "Like a Rolling Stone." Dylan's response, too, is great. It's not witty at all--in fact, it reveals that the "Judas" accusation really caught him off guard. He is silent for about 10 seconds, just keeps on fingerpicking the intro to the song, and then he leans into the microphone and says in an even tone, "I don't believe you." It seems like he had to spend about 10 seconds to even convince HIMSELF that the Judas charge wasn't true! Then he delivers his verdict very calmly. But after thinking about it for another five seconds or so, he becomes more self-assured, and yells, "You're a LIAR!" People think of this concert as a defining moment for the Cult of Dylan, but when you listen to it, it seems like it was really a defining moment for Dylan himself. He may have decided, on that very stage, that he would never turn back from his rock experiment. He was plugged in for good.

So, if you are buying this set for the novelty factor, you'll get you're money's worth. However, the first disc--the acoustic set--is a real treasure, probably even the better of the two discs. I don't own much live Dylan, so I can't compare to other concerts, but in comparison to the studio versions this stuff is really great. I mean, solo acoustic versions of Blonde on Blonde songs sounds awesome, but it is even awesomer than you think. "Just LIke a Woman" and "Visions of Johanna," in particular, are way better here than on the original albums they came from.

All in all, despite my original expectations, this is a 5-star CD. Get it soon.

5 out of 5 stars Must have.......2007-06-09

This is a must have for anyone interested in rock and roll hisotry. Someone earlier said it's not worth listening to multipule times, but I disagree. This is one of my most played CDs ever, every track being a great version of the original. "Like a Rolling Stone" might be even better live, with so much energy from Dylan and the band. Any Dylan fan will love this!

5 out of 5 stars Monumental.......2007-05-04

A Dylan fan is occasionally asked what album they would recommend to someone who is interested but not yet sold on Dylan. With 40+ albums representing a wide range of work it is almost impossible to limit a choice to one album.

But this -- more so than any studio album may be the place to start. You get some of the highlights of his 60's legendary trilogy (HWY61, Brining It All Back Home and Blonde on Blonde). This is Dylan at his absolute peak. He's done other phenomenal work -- but nowhere else is this so clearly heard as in the two sets that make up this concert.

This is arguably one of the greatest single act concerts in the history of rock and roll. It is also an important milestone in the history of one of rock's and culture's more important contributors in the last half a century.

5 out of 5 stars Bob Dylan at his best........2007-03-17

Not only is this a great live album, but it's also a slice of Rock and Roll history.

The first disc is Dylan, acoustic guitar, and harmonica. It's classic folk era Dylan.

The second disc is Dylan backed by the Hawks (later known as the Band).

There was a major backlash by folk music fans, because they didn't want to hear Dylan with electric gutars and drums.

SOme of the songs are booed and one fans even calls Dylan "Judas", which Dylan responds to by finishing the concert by having the Hawks play "Like a Rolling Stone" "f*cking loud".

Bob Dylan has always been incredibly prolific, only releasing a fraction of what he records. Such a policy has made him a prime target for bootleggers over the years, finally prompting this sanctioned 1991 triple-disc dive into the Dylan vaults. It consists of rare tracks, unreleased outtakes, early versions of classics ("Times They Are a-Changin'," "Like a Rolling Stone," "I Shall Be Released"), and alternate versions that sometimes cut the originals ("Idiot Wind"). A measure of Dylan's depth is his list of discarded songs ("She's Your Lover Now," "Blind Willie McTell," "Series of Dreams") that would be the crown jewels of most catalogs. These 58 tracks serve as a shadow history of one of our most important artists. --Ben Edmonds

How far beyond awesome? If there's a Heaven and a Hell, if you haven't heard this at your end, you ain't goin' to Heaven.

Buy it. And I dare you to try to remove it from your CD player after hearing it the first time. But listen to it sitting down, or it'll knock you down.

Add 5 stars to the stingy 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Need help with sound quality!.......2007-04-03

Can somebody out there help me with this collection? A few years ago Columbia was remastering the Bob Dylan catalog, and that is when I purchased the 3CD set of his called BIOGRAPH, because on the back of the box it said, Digitally Mastering at Sterling Sound, N.Y.C., with SBM, super bit mastering sound, so I was glad that I waited to purchase it till the remastered version became available, and I`ve been holding off from purchasing this collection till this collection has been remastered as well, in the SBM way that Biograph has. Or prehaps it has been by now, can somebody tell me if Columbia has remastered this collection yet?

5 out of 5 stars Dylan Review.......2007-03-11

I absolutely love this bootleg set. It is the best music purchase I've made in several months; I can say this after having it firmly rooted in my CD player since I received it in the mail. I'm not a "reviewer of music," but watch out for Dylan's version of Idiot Wind in the set. It'll break your heart and leave you wanting more. A MUST have for any Dylan lover!

5 out of 5 stars Hear Dylan again -- for the first time!.......2007-02-24

I've been a huge Dylan fan since I found "Bringing It All Back Home" nestled amongst my mother's Sonny & Cher albums at the age of 17. I'm no completist, but I do have most of Dylan's catalog, including almost everything he released during the 1960's... or so I thought!

The Bootleg Series 1-3 is exhaustive without ever feeling exhausting - the three discs span three decades of Dylan's career, and it just FLIES by you like snapshots in an album, giving you a great sonic evolution of the greatest singing poet the world has ever known. The discs demand immediate re-listens (no really!), and many tracks will beg the question "why the heck didn't THIS ever find it's way onto an album?!?"

For the uninitiated (are there any left?), this collection is a great introduction to Dylan's first 30 years; but to those of us who grew up listening to the man, it serves as a time machine, transporting you back to that emotional rush when you first heard the nasal whine and amazing lyrics of Robert Zimmerman. For some, that's worth it's weight in gold.

Amazon.com

Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of "Like a Rolling Stone" less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features 26 rare and unreleased recordings (most between 1961 and 1966), including 1959's muddied "When I Got Troubles,' reportedly the first song Dylan ever put to tape, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed live soon after Dylan's arrival in New York. While the usual suspects are present--"Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Masters of War," "Mr. Tambourine Man"--this collection unravels the unexpected, including an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ("Sally Gal"), captivating alternate takes of "She Belongs To Me," "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and "Visions of Johanna" (with full band) and the ripping electric version of "Maggie's Farm" that throttled the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and carried Dylan over the genre-influencing threshold into generation-altering icon status. --Scott Holter

5 out of 5 stars "Bobby D Finds his roots".......2006-11-10

This was an absolutely TREMENDOUS CD.
Especially recommended on Side 2 are "She Belongs to Me" ("She's an artist, She Don't look Back") and a Devestating Version of "Desolation Row".
On Side 1 are "When my Ship comes in" (In the Video Baez tells how Dylan is upset that they won't let him in a Hotel because of his "Scruffy appearance", then as Baez tells it "So he wrote 'When My Ship comes In' He can't get a Hotel Room, so he writes when my Ship comes In"!!!)
Also on Side 1 is a "Catch Lightning in a Bottle" version of "Chimes of Freedom.
AND if you like this CD, check out Baez's performance on YOUTUBE of "Diamonds and Rust"; Then go to the 1992 Dylan Tribute where the Clancy Brothers (and for this performance only Tommy Makem) do "When My Ship Comes In". You can't go wrong on any of these.

4 out of 5 stars A revelation!.......2006-10-11

Just spent a day listening to the second disc while painting my house. I played it loud over and over while I worked. I have to say it's brilliant. While there is a lot of good stuff on this disc, the standout tune for me is "Visions of Johanna." The Band is absolutely in full form, and Dylan sounds like he's about to levitate. Couldn't have been a better day ... completely reinvigorated my interest in the man's music.

3 out of 5 stars This is not the soundtrack.........2006-10-04

I clicked on Mr. Tamborine Man, quite expecting to hear the whimsical, amazing version on the DVD from the Newport festival, where he sings alone surrounded by folkies, occassionally interrupted by some annoying guy lamenting the protest songs, and I get a rough duet with who? I click on Visions of Johanna, do i get the surreal version on the DVD, with Bob refusing to crash in the Hills of Tennessee, just wanting to go home (and crash on his motorcycle) with delicate refrains and moving poetic intonations and drifting harmonica.. no, just a studio electric version. Guess I'm supposed to get all the live bootlegs, ok. I am gratefull to , 'Don't Look back', having intoduced me to Dylan. Where is it?

5 out of 5 stars Two Fine, Distinct CD's.......2006-09-14

If you have many of Dylan's albums of the sixties, this is an excellent addition. Disc one is solo acoustic and chronicles a songwriter coming into his own. Disc two is full of live and alternate takes that shed new light on the original versions of the songs. Sometimes alternate takes are meant to be kept off of albums, these versions are quite rewarding, and definitely worth repeated listens. The liner notes include other pictures taken from the album cover photo sessions. Here are some other fine albums you may like if you like Dylan:
1) Kings Avenue by Joe Kile
2) Stranger's Almanac by Whiskeytown
3) Banjos And Sunshine by Sixty Acres
4) Ain't No Grave: A Tribute To Traditional And Public Domain Songs by Various Artists

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

5 out of 5 stars Another golden Bobby D .......2007-05-07

This is THE Bob Dylan that I cherish - if you really dig some of the eariler, folksy "Times they are a changin" Bob Dylan then this is a great album for you.

The duets with Joan are an added bonus - with a bit of Dylan's wit and humor showing through. We are also treated with a (small) amount of stage banter from Dylan - something which was regretably absent when I saw him in 2003 in concert.

5 out of 5 stars It;s Life and Life Only.......2005-10-12

For me Dylan was always there but I didn't get it. I mean Johnny Cash told me that Bob Dyaln was a great song writer, But I just never got what all the Dylan fuss was about.
Then I check out this cd.
Now I get it. Man do I get it.

4 out of 5 stars "Hope I Never Have to Make a Living".......2005-09-21

This late in Bob Dylan's career, it seems that Colombia is content to release (and profit from) a perennial bootleg album. For diehard fans there are reasons to buy and cherish all of these, not all of them healthy. For your casual fan however, some releases are better than others.

Unlike the other releases, Vol. 6 lacks a distinctive sound that made the other volumes so engaging. First, there was Vol. 1-3 (one release). This three-disc set blazed the trail by making available live and unreleased cuts that spanned Bob's entire career; these discs reveal just how deep Dylan's musical veins run. Vol. 4, The Royal Albert Hall Concert, is essential because it captures Dylan at the height of his creativity in 1966. These two discs pack in an otherworldly, heroine-fueled, Rimbauld-esque vision that is still shattering rock and roll music today. One can feel in these performances the psychological tension (created in part from the times, but more from an artist in the process of shedding skins faster than he can grow into new ones). Vol. 5, The Rolling Thunder Revue, also captures another pivotal era in Dylan's career, this time that of a thirty-something icon's last stab at youth. Again, there is an intensity to the performances, to his voice, to the rolicking play of talented musicians.

Lastly we arrive at this collection, the Halloween Concert. What does it lack? For one, passion. The performances feel forced. Dylan is shaking off the albatross of being a "protest singer," and about to embrace (lyrically) the subjective and personal. When we do get these newer songs, like "It's all Right Ma" and "Gates of Eden" the listener feels this intensity. But the older songs, wich make up most of the set, are not performed with much passion or conviction. Dylan's voice whines and sounds distracted. The short set performed with Joan Baez is particularly disappointing, as all sets with her were. Joan, for all her talents as a singer, stands in too much contrast to Dylan's ideosyncratic voice. Song birds are beautiful and bull frog croaks are beautiful -- but not on top of one another. You can understand, listening to their shaky duets here, why in a matter of weeks Dylan would not allow her with him on the stage anymore.

Perhaps the most interesting aspects of this album are Dylan's monologues and dialogues with audience members between songs. He giggles and bandies absurd sentences, sounding very childish in the process, cannabis induced of course. He plays games, at one point playing the same chords over and over, pretending as though he has forgotten the first words to the song.

For an all acoustic concert Columbia would have been wiser to release something from 1963, a time when Dylan still felt connected to the songs we was performing. Here he spends too much time on material he'd rather leave behind. One exception it his rendition of "A Hard Rains a Gonna Fall," certainly the most intense cut on the record.

All in all, my intention is not to disparage this recording. After all, it is a complete Bob Dylan concert recorded during his hey-day. But considering the wealth of other material available, the previous bootlegs should be purchased before this one. That being stated, for fanatics like me, it is still a must, and beats the pants off "Knocked Out and Loaded" and "Down in the Groove," two albums only a mother could love.




4 out of 5 stars Terrific early Dylan.......2005-01-12

Terrific, eh? Four stars, eh? Yes, I know, Dylan-philes everywhere are already seeing me in hell, but I'm just trying to be fair and balanced. So sue me.

Another legendary Bob Dylan-concert which has been available as a bootleg for decades, the so-called "Halloween Concert" is not quite as accessible (or essential) as "Bootleg Series" volumes 4 and 5, the 1966 and 1975 concerts.
This is strictly acoustic material, just Bob Dylan, his guitar and his harmonica rack, and not everybody who like band-backed Dylan enjoy his earliest solo stuff. And while there are plenty of warm, wonderful performances here, there are also a couple of performances, including an 11-minute "It's Alright Ma", which are mostly for diehards.

But if you're seriously interested in the acoustic Bob Dylan, this concert is a must-have. The sound is spectacular, wonderfully realistic and immediate, and the transfer is extremely clean. The packaging is lavish, featuring a fine essay, numerous photos, and discographical information, just like the previous issues in this series. And there are some truly stellar performances here...104 minutes of music, including a wonderful, sensitive performance of "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll", an acidic "With God On Our Side", and a lovely, melodic "If You Gotta Go, Go Now (Or Else You Gotta Stay All Night)".
Joan Baez guests on four songs on disc two. Dylan and her fool around on an enjoyable "Mama, You've Been On My Mind", and Baez sings a thoroughly beautiful "Silver Dagger" which is worth the entire second disc.

There are protest songs here, alongside "talking blues", folk, love songs, and humorous narratives. Great renditions of "Spanish Harlem Indident", "Mr Tambourine Man", "To Ramona", "The Times They Are A-Changin'", the definitive solo performance of "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)"...
And Dylan himself is is high spirits, relaxed, friendly and funny.
This is a must-have for fans of Dylan's acoustic period, and even those who already own the bootleg should consider replacing it. To me, these performances are often better than the solo numbers on the 1966 album, and several of them are equal to the magnificent acoustic songs on "Live 1975".
4 1/2 stars. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars love it.......2005-01-08

One of the many oddities of Bob Dylan's long and unruly career has been the rather cursory recording treatment given his stint as ringleader of the Rolling Thunder Revue. It's a shortcoming that's rectified with the release of Live 1975. Prior to the appearance of this two-disc collection, Rolling Thunder's eclectic road show was chronicled only in the infrequently screened, Dylan-directed Renaldo & Clara film and the bafflingly brief and one-note 1976 live set, Hard Rain. In contrast to its predecessor, this set, culled from four appearances made in November and December of '75, captures the breadth and subtleties of Dylan's Rolling Thunder performances. "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You," formerly a coda from Nashville Skyline, is given a rather incongruous bite here, while "It Ain't Me, Babe" is colored brightly by multi-instrumentalist David Mansfield along with erstwhile David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, the sparkplug of the gratifyingly ragtag group that coalesced on short notice. Solo acoustic performances weave through caterwauling full-band treatments of songs old ("The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll) and new ("Hurricane" and four other selections from Desire, which wouldn't hit the racks until early '76). While the contributions of a number of caravan cohorts and guests are left out, Joan Baez shares the spotlight with Dylan on four numbers, most notably on the rarity "Mama, You Been on My Mind" and the traditional "The Water Is Wide." But despite its cavalcade trappings, it was Dylan's show, and this collection demonstrates finally just how close to his '60s peak the '70s Dylan was. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars Dylan is king!.......2007-03-09

These discs have been in my cd player since I purchased them a month ago. Dylan's painted face allows him to be more diverse. It has songs that feature just Dylan and his guitar and others with his stellar band. For any Dylan fan interested in the bootleg series, this is a great starting point. I have several others in teh bootleg series, but few are as fun as this one. He just rocks!

3 out of 5 stars perhaps lower expectations are in order.......2007-02-15

Some of you are not going to like this review, but buyers will need some candor here. Dylan really is great, and his often great work in the 1970s is generally underappreciated. But this live set is not the place to learn to love Dylan. If you're curious about this title, my recommendation is go pick up his studio recordings of the mid- to late-1970s, beginning with the remastered titles. These are lovely, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes groovy, and often superb. If you already have these, then, if you choose to get this title, you might set your expectations a little lower.

The main problem with Live 1975, as a reviewer below notes, is the singing--or, as one might better say, the bellowing. Dylan has one of rock's great voices and in his studio recordings, including his studio recordings of the 1970s, he sings with astounding emotional authority (where does he get that, one wonders--how does anyone get that?!). In these Live 1975 tracks, however, Dylan is out of voice, bellowing either to be heard or else to "voluminate" in lieu of giving a more emotionally nuanced vocal performance. This is not an uncommon failing of concert recordings, but the present case is quite pronounced and I agree with the reviewer below that it seriously taints the enjoyment of these disks.

I may as well go on to note that the sound of the band is quite dense here. I think it's not a performance problem or an engineering problem, but one of arrangement: there are too many instruments crowding the middle range, so it sounds a bit like an undifferentiated wall of sound. Again, rather characteristic of the 1970s live sound, but rarely the case with Dylan's studio recordings.

In short, if you're curious about Dylan in the 1970s, there are better places to look. My favorite of the Live albums is the 1964 one.

5 out of 5 stars This album rocks!.......2007-01-18

Without a doubt one of Dylans best recordings. I was blown away hearing this for the first time, and the twentieth for that matter. This album was just recently released and is a must have for any Dylan fan. If you're looking for a gift for a Dylan fan this is it. Most fans have the popular titles, Blood on the Tracks, Route 66 Revisited, etc. but there's a good chance they don't have this title yet. Guaranteed not to disappoint.

5 out of 5 stars Another classic from the Bootleg Series with some essential takes.......2007-01-12

The Rolling Thunder Review live collection is a close second to Live 1966 as the most essential live Dylan album ever released. Throughout these recordings, a revitalized and energetic Dylan hollers out his new and old classics to a rambunctious crowd of random people (the show traveled like a circus and had little to no publicity) and reinvents many of his old songs along the way.

This series of shows, like many of Dylan's great post-'65 concerts, features a combination of hard-rocking band numbers and solo acoustic songs. He's got a great band, too, with several guitarists, a tight rhythm section, a violin, and even a pedal steel guitar. With this rocking ensemble he reworks several classics into hard rocking barnstormers. "It Ain't Me Babe" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" groove at quick paces and sound almost unrecognizable from their folky original versions. "It Takes a Lot to Laugh" and "Just Like A Woman" are transformed from their delicate studio incarnations to anthemic rockers. Likewise, Dylan's new material (soon to be recorded in the studio as Desire) rocks hardest of all. The versions of "Hurricane" and "Isis" recorded here put the studio versions to shame, performed with fire and energy here that makes these versions the essential recordings.

Some of the album's best moments are the acoustic tunes. The recent hits "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Simple Twist of Fate" sound great, and duets with Joan Baez like "The Water is Wide" channel Dylan's folk past while at the same time remaining firmly rooted in where he was at that moment.

The Rolling Thunder Revue presents Dylan in one of his most daring and original endeavors, and the excellent liner notes tell the story quite well. This collection contains a great selection of classics as well as some great songs that are under-represented in Dylan's live catalog ("The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol"). It's a wild ride and a rewarding listen that I heartily recommend.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS!!!!.......2006-12-06

I absolutely love this double album. Growing up I owned a bootleg of the rolling thunder revue. Unfortunatly it got lost, however this cd did make up for it. The re-working of "it ain't me babe" is great, and the Joan Baez duo of "mama you've been on my mind" is really good with the country/rocking feel. My one slight problem with this is that "NEVER LET ME GO" was left off...that is not cool

5 out of 5 stars A Must for VU Fans.......2006-10-14

More raw and experimental than "69 Live." Better (and warmer) sound, to my ears, than Max's. Never mind the tape hiss and lo-fi--the music gets through. As others here have said, this is not the best place to begin listening to the Velvets, but if you already are a fan, you will love it. The sprawling stretches of "Sister Ray" and other extended versions of VU songs are a revelation. There is nothing like the shock of hearing a band you revere live for the first time. This set can bring you quite close to that experience.

5 out of 5 stars AND THE ANSWER FOR ALLTIME.......2006-06-01

IS THE Velvets, who went Underground "a thousand Years ago",resurfaced and are proof positive that being underground and the "Consequence" for returning is as enigmatic,pure,solid, like Stonehenge. Do not worry if this is your first Velvet Cd. You are now solidified into the master's of the Dark. Now my people, go buy this CD and find out why such a progressive group in the mid 60's are just as exhilirating, provocative and even so they remain such. Buy this Cd, like 3 cd's for $30.00 and forget about seeking out "The Man".There's alwys "Tomorrrow's parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Cest Genial Oui oui je acheter une cd de lan velvet underground pour noel.......2005-12-09

these cds are good and all and people should get them or download them (pirated or whatnot) the velvets were a very underrated band, (jacob ingerson stfu, you dont know music) but i recommend this to people who have listened to them beefore ,and are used to them. This album is live and i think peopel should listen to them at hi-fi studio recorded sound first but, hey if you want to dive right in and hear what the music and what they were live at their best get this album. The thing that i like best about them is the simplistic package design and, that these tapes actually exist, its amazing, if your going to complain about the sound quality, you should try and record a live show and preserve the the tapes for a quater of a century. the magic and the moments that happen a great and you get thrre disks of it so i think its pretty good. Also there are extensive liner notes in a booklet that are entertaining

2 out of 5 stars Run, Don't Walk, to Live at Max's Kansas City (Deluxe)!!!.......2005-03-26

For completists only. I TRIED to enjoy these discs, but the sound is terrible. Live at Max's Kansas City (Deluxe) is such a better "bootleg"!! It renders these Quine recordings for study only, not enjoyment. And if you REALLY want to hear the Velvets at their greatest live, check out "Live 1969, Vol.1" & "2".
Also, for 30 bucks, the packaging is really cheap and minimal. I know they're supposed to be bootlegs, but GOOD bootlegs are usually beautifully packaged! NOT worth 30 bucks. Worth about 10 bucks, folks. I was very disappointed with the Quine Tapes.

5 out of 5 stars Another Unbelivable Hidden Treasue Released!.......2004-11-11

Im very surprised no one reviewed this yet, so here goes.

People who buy this album, should be familiar with the studio albums and (at least) a bit of the live recorded material to feel the full effect of the all out SHOCK! that comes from exploring the "Quin tapes". Basically, these Recordings come from a series of shows the Velvets played in San Francisco, (1969), which was at the time, the home of psychedelica itself. The Velvets were far from home, and just as far away from the hippie, summer of love ideology. Robert Quin, recorded the shows with the band's permission and in fact went on to become a fantastic guitar player often playing with Lou Reed's solo efforts. Quin actually lost his precious tapes, and what we get here is just a greatest hits reel that survived the rigors of time.

A true Velvet fan will notice the significance of these recordings immediately; Jams all over, Lou improvising new words on the spot, tons and tons of one of a kind moments. Unbelievable version of "Follow the Leader" that would make you think it to be one of the Velvets best, when in fact, its an incredibly rare tune. The Sister Ray>Foggy Notion>Sister Ray, played in the huge family dog auditorium has to be one of the greatest moments of Rock>Avant guard>total jam-out (you still with me?) of all time. Velvet Fans should be massively grateful to Mr. Quin that this material made it to publication. Robert Quin Passed away recently by his own choosing. This album is a monument to him simply because he recognized in 1969 that what the Velvets were doing needed to be recorded. The rest of the world took many years to catch on, and even now, the Velvets are not given the full glory they deserve; The greatest American band of all time. I give this album 5 stars (from the perspective of a Velvet Underground fan, 10 years and still madly in love).

!!This is not entry level material!!
Final note,
I wish Dead heads (Grateful Dead Fans) would get this album, and see that in 1969, the Velvet Underground jammed more and had a larger active repetuoir of original songs than the Dead. Yes I'm a Dead Head too, But the Velvets ARE a Band Beyond Description. Thanks for reading my review

and he delivers so do west

5 out of 5 stars Oh Yes.......2007-03-04

This is by far the best of the bootleg series and, although a shorther version, this live cut of Nantucket Sleighride is so close to the studio version that it is almost perfect. Great mix and recording. Was surprised by Yasgur's farm showing up but its a great version. They said the band was only 18 months old at this time and they sure were hot. Must have for live Mountain fans

5 out of 5 stars Rocks Hard!.......2007-02-21

If you are a Mountain fan you probably own their album "Flowers Of Evil". This album is very much like the live side of that classic album. There is plenty of improvisation, bass guitar fuzz, and Lesley going over the top with shear volume. The extended "Dreams Of Milk and Honey" just goes on and on..what a jam!

Simply put, this cd kicks! The sound quality is pretty good compared to some of the other cds in the "bootleg" series.

Put in on and turn it UP!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Live Mountain.......2007-02-09

I have purchased a few and heard many others in the Mountain bootleg series and have been mostly disappointed with the sound quality. Not the case with this one. It sounds like a board recording and the audio quality is excellent. Its a 2 disc set with many of the songs that made Mountain such a great live act. The Cream influence is very evident in Dreams of Milk and Honey. Whoever labeled this must not have been a great Mountain fan though.
On disc 2 the song labeled "Theme for an Imaginary Western" is actually
"For Yasgurs Farm". Great recording though and I would highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars The perfect Mountain Live recording.......2006-09-16

On this double disc set you get to hear all the Classic Mountain recordings in Perfect Fidelity.Now what can be better than that?This is something you NEED more than anything else in this screwed up world.More than cars,chicks and that green stuff.A definite desert island disc.If you bought some of the lesser quality recordings in this bootleg series don't be scared off from purchasing this one.You won't regret it!And wait till you hear Lesley's version of "Auld Lang Syne",a classic right up there with Hendrix's version of "Star Spangled Banner".Finally there exists some good music to play on New Year's Eve!I can't wait till 2007 when I fry my speakers with this baby!

4 out of 5 stars Fan of the other Vault sets? Then pick Vol. 4 up!.......2006-08-06

I just got my set today here in the US via Amazon UK. C'mon, if you're if you're thinking of picking this set up, then you probably own Vol's 1-3 already. Right? If you've enjoyed those for what they're worth....OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS......then you'll be very pleased with Vol 4. Eight discs....cool stuff! Of the two 1992 shows that are three days apart, the July 22nd show from Pennsylvania has the best sound. Plus, you're in for a real treat as Keith's midi goes out during Romeo & Juliet, stopping them in their tracks, as they tell the crowd, "uh oh." Then there's playful banter between the crowd and ELP as they try to fix the problem. The crowd's in good spirits and enjoys the humor. Pay attention to the audience member who shouts a joke that's a "tip of the hat" to Spinal Tap. So yeah, they're audience recordings. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. And if you're an ELP fan like me, and own Vol 1-3, then you've already ordered Vol 4 without needing to read user reviews. Cheers......and enjoy!!!!

    Bob Dylan has always been incredibly prolific, only releasing a fraction of what he records. Such a policy has made him a prime target for bootleggers over the years, finally prompting this sanctioned 1991 triple-disc dive into the Dylan vaults. It consists of rare tracks, unreleased outtakes, early versions of classics ("Times They Are a-Changin'," "Like a Rolling Stone," "I Shall Be Released"), and alternate versions that sometimes cut the originals ("Idiot Wind"). A measure of Dylan's depth is his list of discarded songs ("She's Your Lover Now," "Blind Willie McTell," "Series of Dreams") that would be the crown jewels of most catalogs. These 58 tracks serve as a shadow history of one of our most important artists. --Ben Edmonds

    5 out of 5 stars Beyond awesome!.......2007-05-26


    How far beyond awesome? If there's a Heaven and a Hell, if you haven't heard this at your end, you ain't goin' to Heaven.

    Buy it. And I dare you to try to remove it from your CD player after hearing it the first time. But listen to it sitting down, or it'll knock you down.

    Add 5 stars to the stingy 5 stars.

    5 out of 5 stars Need help with sound quality!.......2007-04-03

    Can somebody out there help me with this collection? A few years ago Columbia was remastering the Bob Dylan catalog, and that is when I purchased the 3CD set of his called BIOGRAPH, because on the back of the box it said, Digitally Mastering at Sterling Sound, N.Y.C., with SBM, super bit mastering sound, so I was glad that I waited to purchase it till the remastered version became available, and I`ve been holding off from purchasing this collection till this collection has been remastered as well, in the SBM way that Biograph has. Or prehaps it has been by now, can somebody tell me if Columbia has remastered this collection yet?

    5 out of 5 stars Dylan Review.......2007-03-11

    I absolutely love this bootleg set. It is the best music purchase I've made in several months; I can say this after having it firmly rooted in my CD player since I received it in the mail. I'm not a "reviewer of music," but watch out for Dylan's version of Idiot Wind in the set. It'll break your heart and leave you wanting more. A MUST have for any Dylan lover!

    5 out of 5 stars Hear Dylan again -- for the first time!.......2007-02-24

    I've been a huge Dylan fan since I found "Bringing It All Back Home" nestled amongst my mother's Sonny & Cher albums at the age of 17. I'm no completist, but I do have most of Dylan's catalog, including almost everything he released during the 1960's... or so I thought!

    The Bootleg Series 1-3 is exhaustive without ever feeling exhausting - the three discs span three decades of Dylan's career, and it just FLIES by you like snapshots in an album, giving you a great sonic evolution of the greatest singing poet the world has ever known. The discs demand immediate re-listens (no really!), and many tracks will beg the question "why the heck didn't THIS ever find it's way onto an album?!?"

    For the uninitiated (are there any left?), this collection is a great introduction to Dylan's first 30 years; but to those of us who grew up listening to the man, it serves as a time machine, transporting you back to that emotional rush when you first heard the nasal whine and amazing lyrics of Robert Zimmerman. For some, that's worth it's weight in gold.

    5 out of 5 stars Bob Dylan bootleg series.......2007-02-20

    Love the Cd has songs I had never heard Bob sing, and everything was just fine.
