 Rating:  - Great treasure--Early Dylan at his PrimeI'm one of those listeners who gave up on Dylan after he went electric. Well, I did drift back with Nashville Skyline, but after that it was all work and no play for both Dylan and me. After seeing the excellent exhibit at the Morgan Library in New York City, I realized I just need more of that early Bob. (I did listen into the 1961 Carnegie Hall concert which they had at the show, and that's what really made me say, "You gotta find some of that early, wonderful, brilliant Bobby D.") The ...

Some people claim that it was one long show. Some claim it was multiple nights. I wasn't born yet myself, but the order seems acurate by the recordings I've heard. Dylan is one to constantly refine his work through live performance. So, it's always interesting when you get to hear a real early live show. This album is terrific. Note: This ... Read More Rating: - Amazing!A great Dylan record from his folk days, when he sang his songs, and didn't talk or whine them. I picked this one up from Starbucks, and I love it! Having never heard the original Gaslight tapes, I don't know how complete this recording is, but I do know that all the songs fit very well. Every song is beautifully done, but there are a few that I feel are specifically worthy of mention by me, a Dylan novice. "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is spectacularly performed. The things in the background ...

But it's a great batch of performances and it sounds great on this release. However, to set the record straight (and in reponse to Jack Priest's review here where he states: "Why they left off songs like "Black Cross", "No More Auction Block" and some very good others is ... Read More Rating: - Live At the GaslightSome good, very very early Dylan, a mix of age-old songs (Barbara Allen, Cocaine, Handsome Molly) and new (for the time, anyway) Dylan material (Hard Rain, Don't Think Twice, Rocks And Gravel John Brown). This was way back in his protest period, so it's only natural that the two best performances (Hard Rain, John Brown) were both protest songs with very vivid imagery. I'd say the version of Hard Rain is better than even the studio original! Of course, I also like Don't Think Twice, though in this case perfer the ... Read More |
