Amazon.com's Best of 1998

Nineteen ninety-eight: The same year he dances with Soy Bomb at the Grammys, his record label finally issues Bob Dylan's ultimate live document. A classic case of not giving the audience what they want but what they need, Mr. Dylan's oft-bootlegged 1966 gig begins with lovely and supple folk that foreshadows folk music's turn from protest song to introspection. The album's true highlight is the legendarily ill received and rocked-out electric set, with Dylan backed by members of the Band. There are too many perfect, on-fire guitar solos by Robbie Robertson to count, and Dylan himself responds to the audience's angry bewilderment with equal parts menace, grace, and brilliance. --Mike McGonigal

Amazon.com essential recording

The greatest live recording in rock & roll history was--officially, at least--buried in the vaults of Columbia Records for more than a quarter of a century. But no more: Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert has surfaced on two discs mixed and mastered from three-track source tapes that put the myriad pirated recordings to shame. More important, Live 1966 documents a momentous artistic showdown between a willful, inflamed, and utterly fearless performer and his headstrong core following. The Dylan of the mid '60s had made the leap from socially conscious voice of his generation to surrealistic electric poet, a transformation that was met with contempt by a vocal element of his audience. The most telling moment of the recording centers on the standoff: A folk zealot in the audience shouts, "Judas!" earning cheers from the contentious crowd. Dylan responds by snarling, "I don't believe you. You're a liar," then turns to his group, the Hawks (soon to become the Band), and, as the intro to "Like a Rolling Stone" takes shape, commands, "Play loud!" A crucial moment and, time has demonstrated, the correct call. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Bob Dylan: 1966 Royal Albert Hall.......2007-07-06

I resisted buying this CD for a long time, because I have a bad habit of assuming that overhype = bad. In reality, of course, overhype usually indicates that something is good, and worthy of hype, just not so MUCH hype. I finally bought it, mainly because it was one of the last real holes in my Dylan collection. I never, ever expected it to be a 5-star CD.

But it is. The whole audience/Dylan interaction is every bit as fascinating as its legendary status suggests. In fact, it's all so perfect, it's hard to believe it wasn't planned: the "Judas" cat-call comes right before the very last song; and what is the last song? Only the all-time greatest Dylan classic, "Like a Rolling Stone." Dylan's response, too, is great. It's not witty at all--in fact, it reveals that the "Judas" accusation really caught him off guard. He is silent for about 10 seconds, just keeps on fingerpicking the intro to the song, and then he leans into the microphone and says in an even tone, "I don't believe you." It seems like he had to spend about 10 seconds to even convince HIMSELF that the Judas charge wasn't true! Then he delivers his verdict very calmly. But after thinking about it for another five seconds or so, he becomes more self-assured, and yells, "You're a LIAR!" People think of this concert as a defining moment for the Cult of Dylan, but when you listen to it, it seems like it was really a defining moment for Dylan himself. He may have decided, on that very stage, that he would never turn back from his rock experiment. He was plugged in for good.

So, if you are buying this set for the novelty factor, you'll get you're money's worth. However, the first disc--the acoustic set--is a real treasure, probably even the better of the two discs. I don't own much live Dylan, so I can't compare to other concerts, but in comparison to the studio versions this stuff is really great. I mean, solo acoustic versions of Blonde on Blonde songs sounds awesome, but it is even awesomer than you think. "Just LIke a Woman" and "Visions of Johanna," in particular, are way better here than on the original albums they came from.

All in all, despite my original expectations, this is a 5-star CD. Get it soon.

Must have.......2007-06-09

This is a must have for anyone interested in rock and roll hisotry. Someone earlier said it's not worth listening to multipule times, but I disagree. This is one of my most played CDs ever, every track being a great version of the original. "Like a Rolling Stone" might be even better live, with so much energy from Dylan and the band. Any Dylan fan will love this!

Monumental.......2007-05-04

A Dylan fan is occasionally asked what album they would recommend to someone who is interested but not yet sold on Dylan. With 40+ albums representing a wide range of work it is almost impossible to limit a choice to one album.

But this -- more so than any studio album may be the place to start. You get some of the highlights of his 60's legendary trilogy (HWY61, Brining It All Back Home and Blonde on Blonde). This is Dylan at his absolute peak. He's done other phenomenal work -- but nowhere else is this so clearly heard as in the two sets that make up this concert.

This is arguably one of the greatest single act concerts in the history of rock and roll. It is also an important milestone in the history of one of rock's and culture's more important contributors in the last half a century.

Bob Dylan at his best........2007-03-17

Not only is this a great live album, but it's also a slice of Rock and Roll history.

The first disc is Dylan, acoustic guitar, and harmonica. It's classic folk era Dylan.

The second disc is Dylan backed by the Hawks (later known as the Band).

There was a major backlash by folk music fans, because they didn't want to hear Dylan with electric gutars and drums.

SOme of the songs are booed and one fans even calls Dylan "Judas", which Dylan responds to by finishing the concert by having the Hawks play "Like a Rolling Stone" "f*cking loud".

big dylan fan.......2007-03-14

I got this after loving "Visions of Johanna" live acoustic from "Biography." I like having acoustic version of some classics. "Just like a Woman" and "Tambourine" are my favorites. ("Visions" is better on "Biography") The long drawn out harmonica is interesting. On the second cd, the electric cuts, I think people are looking at this with I
love Dylan rose colored glasses. All it is is an important historical document. By any stretch it is not great music and will not bare repeated listening. I agreed with the crowd even though my favorite Dyan albums are Blond on Blond and Modern Times. It's awful, even the song selection is lame. The few times Dylan says anything he sounds like a stoned nerd. (Also, by the way, from some of the included pictures, I now know what they are talking about when they say that in the Dylan biographical movie a woman is going to play him for a few years of his history.) So anyway, it is impossible to give Dylan less than four stars, but I would buy this only if the first cd might hold your interest.

Fantastic Introduction to Celtic Folk Rock!.......2001-05-17

Even if you think you only "might" be interested in this musical genre and/or Runrig, try BBC Session/Long Distance. You'll be convinced. There are several duplicate tracks on this two disc set,but they are all worth listening to twice. What a shame that this great band doesn't get more air play in the States. They deserve much greater exposure. Production values are excellent and the "live" tracks very well done. It is all I can do to stay in my seat when "Loch Lommand" gets going and "Alba" makes me want to book the next flight out;"Rhythm of My Heart" rivals Rod Stewart. The vast majority of the material is original and thoughtfully written. There is some real poetry here. I only hope that I get an opportunity to enjoy Runrig live someday, for now these CD's will have to do.

A Trip In Time.......2000-08-19

I bought Runrig's tape, Long Distance, while in Scotland, and have played the microns off it! The beauty of Scotland is revealed in this album, bringing back memories of a people and land so wonderful as to be almost inconceivable. The songs in Gaelic are so soulfully sung, it bring tears to the eyes. I still don't know the meaning but it doesn't matter. Being of Irish blood, the somewhat rebellious songs made me yearn to return to a land torn between its people, some wanting freedom, others wanting British support. I cannot recommend these 2 CD's highly enough. Even if one has never been to the Scottish Highlands, tried Haggis, or seen the battlefields of "Braveheart", these CD's will take you there, just close your eyes, put the headphones on, and let Runrig take you away. I am buying another set, just in case (God forbid) they are no longer available in the future!

Failte The Gaelic flame burns strong in Alba.......2000-04-03

If you are not already a listener to the music of Runrig then what are you waiting for. Long distance is more than a culmination of a lifetime in the world of music. Runrig are a band who are not afraid to change as they know the fans will come with them, on their latest "In Search of Angels" the sound changes again. But at the heart of every piece lies the Heartland of Scotland and the will to survive of all Celts, be they from Galicia in Spain or Shetland in the north. Without them the dream of the Scottish parliament would not be here, as they sang of in "Maymorning" "I'm alive again". But they have made such an impact, making the songs of the Heartland fashionable, such as Loch Lomond, whilst playing homage to what made the Scots people great in the "Mighty Atlantic/Mara", "Flower of the West" and "Siol Goraidh", Our indestructable will to survive.
