    It's just like being there. Incredible. Dylan is already in full possession of his powers. I particularly appreciate his guitar playing.

    This is amazing - Dylan was such a capitivating performer even at the very beginning of his career. Always love 'He Was a Friend of Mine' and interesting that Pretty Polly eventually merged into Hollis Brown.

    60 years ago this month, amazing! I'm over 40, my parents were just little kids when this happened, and Bob's still going strong today! Several generations have grown up with Bob at this point. He was ushering in a whole new world in 61!

Blessings from the shicksa who used to hang out at Cantor's Bakery on Côté de Neiges, Montréal, Q.C. Canada. Maybe you will say hi to me the next time we run into each other in the airport. Ditch the bodyguard this time!

    around the time Song To Woody kicks in it's clear that he (and likely all present) had pre-gamed a few or more of something. but it doesn't matter in the least. this IS Bob in that scene in 1961. and we all now know what sprung forth in the years that ensued. regardless of that statement, this is a set of distinctively well-performed songs.

    Wow. Cool treat to hear the Boggs channeling, and what a huge, thoughtful, profound sound at the Gaslight cafe. Vocal different, insitant, persistently and varied like vibrato seated in the balance place within the groove. Harps -a bogg dock ship horn up in the Virginia mountains type-a thing. I always wondered thinking about what it woulda been like to be Dylan back then. A course 25 years ago when I left living on the Crow River in Buffalo, MN and moved to the University of MN when I was 18 living in Pioneer Hall for a couple years especially wondered what it felt like for him in those early NYC days and when did he really leave Dinkytown to go make it big or did he come back and live some.? By the time we saw Don't look back in 97 as freshmen at the Oak Street Cinema he was beyond legend. This 61 nyc cafe performance was unreal. Huge space in the track. I always wanted to ask if the coffee was pretty good at those early 60s NYC cafes in those days?

    Why does Song To Woody sound so sad? Guess it's because it's written and performed straight from the heart. Bob knew Woody wouldn't be around alot longer and wanted to convey his respect.

    aufgenommen mit einem sehr frühen tonbandgerät, sowas kennen die jungen leute garnicht mehr. ähnlich einem cassettenrecorder (den kennen ein paar mehr leute), nur eben 20x so groß, mit riesigen spulen zum aufspulen des 12mm breiten und relativ dicken tonbandes.
