Bob Dylan/England,UK 1965

This time, we will not only be releasing Dylan’s latest live performance, but also live recordings from the 1960s that fit the word “vintage” perfectly. Last year’s official release of studio recordings from 1965 to 1966, which surprised enthusiasts all over the world, is still fresh in my memory, but the true quality of what was heard there, The whole story of Dylan’s recordings, which can be called the golden age, was revealed, and it made me realize how special Dylan was in the mid-60s. Dylan is known alongside the Beatles and the Stones… Although he started out as a folk artist, he completely changed his image to the world of rock and released a series of revolutionary masterpieces… He is truly charismatic. suitable for. After last year’s super-class release was realized, it has been an annual event in the past few years that live sound sources from 1965 have appeared in abundance. I’m sure there are many enthusiasts who were looking forward to it. This time too, there are plenty of live recordings from 1965…and on the contrary, the volume is so high that it’s hard to tell which is which. What’s more, it comes in the form of a file. Even at the 1965 live music festival, I think there are many people who felt like they were about to lose their minds. In such a volume, the highlight was a number of sound board sound sources containing live performances from the UK tour of the same year. All of them are of such ultra quality that they could be released as live albums as they are. This time, when many live sound sources from 1965 came to light, why were there so many sound sources from the UK tour? From this tour, the movie “DON’T LOOK BACK” was made, which can be said to be a monumental tour documentary of 60’s rock musicians. Even if you are not a Dylan fanatic, I think many people have seen this movie at least once, as it is a masterpiece that captures the dignified figure of Dylan at his peak. It was a period that could literally be called the last folk era, just before the transition to electric guitars and sound, but Dylan had the charisma of a rock artist. The film crew recorded the stage in monaural soundboard recording with the highest sound quality for use in the movie. It was hinted at in the fragmented performance scene that appears in the movie, but the soundboard recording that captured more live performances than was used there was sleeping. I think there were many maniacs who got it at the end of the year, but it can’t be helped that all the live stages were in a state with subtle defects. It wasn’t originally recorded with the intention of making a live album or a live movie. During the large number of UK tours that appeared at the end of last year, the live performance at Leicester’s De Montfort Hall on May 2nd seems to have been the most fulfilling in terms of performance content and recording condition. First of all, when you mention De Montfort Hall, there are bound to be some enthusiasts who get excited. Yes, this is a historic venue where Dio’s “R.J.D. 1983” Disc 1, which was released by our store, and the Genesis “LIVE 2LP TEST PRESSING”, which is currently a bestseller, were recorded. In Japan, it is a venue comparable to a city public hall, and the latter’s homely feel conveys that it is a concert hall with an intimate atmosphere that cannot be found in arenas or stadiums. It can be said that it is a perfect venue for a folk artist like Dylan at the time to perform live, and the most appealing aspect of the venue is the intimate staging of the 1965 tour. The tour itself ended at the Royal Albert Hall in London, as Dylan is at the peak of his popularity, so it would be lucky that the live performance was recorded in a homely atmosphere at De Montfort Hall. Moreover, it was never released at that time, and even more so because such an amazing sound source has appeared now! However, the sound quality is excellent. Although it was a live performance with a small number of sounds like Dylan at the time, I can only admire the sound board recording that was captured with such splendid clarity. You can almost hear Dylan’s breathing. What’s more, it’s a live performance with the entire song sung, which you can never see these days. What’s more, Dylan is famous for singing in different ways depending on the time of year, but this is a time when he is said to have sung most carefully during the folk era, and his singing is so beautiful that you can’t help but fall in love with it, and yet his young singing voice. And a number of famous songs performed simply in a real-time atmosphere of the 60s? “Like A Rolling Stone” hasn’t been made yet, and “Blowin’ In The Wind” was done at a time when Dylan stopped playing it. Despite this, there are many famous songs lined up in a row. Dylan from the 1960s is so special…the setlist is like a best-of album. Regarding the recording trouble mentioned earlier, on this day “It Ain’t Me, Babe” appeared to be recorded from the second verse. The sound quality and performance are so perfect that you hardly notice the incomplete recording of this song. De Montfort Hall, Leicester, England 2nd May 1965 SBD (72:54) 1.
