{"product_id":"bootleg-series-vol-4-the-royal-albert-hall-concert","title":"Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: The \"Royal Albert Hall\" Concert","description":"LIVE 1966... includes a 56-page booklet filled with rare photographs.\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitars, harmonica, piano); Robbie Roberston (guitar); Richard Manuel (piano); Garth Hudson (organ); Rick Danko (bass, background vocals); Mickey Jones (drums).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded live at the Manchester Free Hall, Manchester, England on May 17, 1966.\u003cbr\u003eIncludes liner notes by Tony Glover.\u003cbr\u003eA bootleg so legendary its incorrect origin graces the title of the official release, the Manchester-recorded \"ROYAL ALBERT HALL\" CONCERT documents one of rock and roll's watershed moments. The folk prophet's embrace of electricity in the face of his audience's dissatisfaction with such a decision is among the finest rock myths. This performance, recorded in the last days of Dylan's epochal 1965-66 world tour, proves the music he was creating at the time every bit as extraordinary and complex as the greatest art of the 20th century; Picasso, Joyce, and Kurosawa spring to mind much faster than any popular musicians.\u003cbr\u003eThe show's first half consists of folkie-friendly acoustic tunes--though one wonders what stringent folkies made of the hallucinatory wordplay of \"Desolation Row.\" When the Hawks join him onstage, the calm atmosphere becomes a deafening din, as coffeehouse introspection dresses up in garage amps turned to eleven, treating the stale traditionalists to a post-modern hootenanny. Robbie Robertson and Dylan trade electric guitar catcalls, like gunslingers grazing each other with bullets just for fun. Garth Hudson's organ rolls out a juke-joint groove. And the bard delivers a batch of songs bursting with ideas of self-identity and social existence that are, even today, standard-bearers.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412956664095,"sku":"886977328923","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/5f0c3839ca2bcd389d429ce5befc6935.jpg?v=1777878029","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/bootleg-series-vol-4-the-royal-albert-hall-concert","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
