Dylan, Bob – Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert (LP-New)

The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert (Live) – Two-disc live album by Bob Dylan, released in 1998. It is the second installment in the ongoing Bob Dylan Bootleg Series on Legacy Records. It was recorded at the Manchester Free Trade Hall during Dylan’s world tour in 1966, hence the quotation marks around the false attribution to the Royal Albert Hall. Extensively bootlegged for decades, it is an important document in the development of popular music during the 1960s.

The setlist consisted of two parts, with the first half of the concert being Dylan alone on stage performing an entirely acoustic set of songs, while the second half of the concert has Dylan playing an “electric” set of songs alongside his band the Hawks. The first half of the concert was greeted warmly by the audience, while the second half was highly criticized, with heckling going on before and after each song.

This is the “REAL” recording. The track listings are similar to The Bootleg Series Volume 4 also on SONY.
