Live 1964,
by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan's legendary (and much
bootlegged) performance at New York's Philharmonic Hall on October 31, 1964 has
finally been released to the public after nearly forty years on the two-disc
Live 1964 from Columbia Records.
Features the then-23 -year-old singer/songwriter playing such now-classic
numbers as "The Times They Are A-Changin'", "To Ramona", "Talkin' John Birch
Paranoid Blues" and (with Joan Baez on a few cuts) "With God On Our Side" and
"It Ain't Me Babe". Recaptures the excitement and power of the phenomenon named
Dylan, whose songs mix social comment, humor and an underlying concern for the
oppressed and who would continue to influence his generation and the ones to
follow. See also: The Essential Bob Dylan,
a two-disc overview of the performer's amazing career.
