Bob Dylan-The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert

In 2016 Colombia records released a 36 CD box set of every show on his 1966 tour. This one from the Royal Albert Hall was released on vinyl. This is the tour when he went electric angering many of his fans. The first record of this two record set is just Dylan with his guitar and harmonica. He plays three songs from his new record Blonde On Blonde “Visions Of Johanna”,”4th Time Around”,and “Just Like A Woman”. On “Mr. Tambourine Man” he plays two long harmonica solos. The sound is good but there is a slight echo in the acoustic set. The second record is electric backed by The Band minus Levon Helm who left in mid tour. The sound is pretty good as he plays 8 songs. I really like “I Don’t Believe You(She Acts Like We Never Met)” and “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat””Ballad Of A Thin Man” features Garth Hudson on organ. He closes with “Like A Rolling Stone” seemingly screaming out the words.
