Here’s a little gem of a Live bootleg for all you Bob Dylan Fans. This is the young American Folk singer performing Live at THe Manchester Free trade Hall, in England on the 7th of May, 1965.
However, this is not to be confused with the 1966 ‘Judas’ concert at the same venue. That gig was known as that due to a comment hurled at the American Folk singer from the audience after he astounded the crowd by putting down his acoustic guitar and going electric. That caused quite a storm amongst his fanbase, many preferring the traditional Folk Dylan as opposed to the Traditional Folk Dylan.
But this concert was still in the height of his Folk period and is an amazing show. Hope you Enjoy!

Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is an American Folk singer who has released over 100 albums over the 63 years of performing. Born Robert Zimmerman in Hibbing, Minnesota he grew up listening to old school Rock and Roll artists like Little Richard, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis. However, Bob wanted to play too and he was involved in a few Rock n Roll band bac home. But he knew that If he wanted to find the fame he sought, then he’d need to think bigger.
So, in 1962, he set off for New York City where he became Bob Dylan. Playing in Small clubs, Coffee Shops and Cafe’s around the Cities Greenwich village area, he soon attracted a following of his own. Playing songs from old folk singers of a previous generation such as Leadbelly, Doc Watson, Etta James and his own folk hero Woody Guthrie whom he visited in the hospital. The aged singer and songwriter was dying of Huntingdon’s Disease.
Dylan soon attracted the attention of A&R man John Hammond and by the end of that year had released his self titled Debut Album ‘Bob Dylan’. The Following year saw the release of his Second Studio Album ‘The Freewheelin Bob Dylan’ which was soon followed by a Third album ‘The Times they are a Changin’. But, this concert was right at the height of this Era just before the singer reinvented himself as more of a Rockstar than Folk singer. This is a Collectable album for sure.
