  • Per a request, I'll be uploading the entire concert performed in Sydney, Australia on April 14, 1966. It's one of the best concerts from the legendary Bob Dylan World Tour 1966. This is the first of many more uploads, so stay tuned!
    This and the following tracks I'll be uploading from this concert were recorded by TCN 9 TV Australia for a public broadcast. The footage they recorded is unfortunately lost forever, but we're lucky this HQ audio survived.
    Enjoy this gem while you can!

    It's hard to imagine a better live version than this one. This should be in a time capsule, or transmitted to the rover on Mars. It may sound nuts to think of transmitting this song thru the cosmos, but in a way, it already has been.

    My favorite version is still the one where he introduces it with “this is not a drug song” rant. “I don’t write drug songs, wouldn’t know how to go about it if I wanted to!” I taped off the radio around 40 years ago, have to search my cassettes again. Still haven’t been able to find it posted online.

      There is a D and Q train, the latter of which doesn't stop at W4th. There was a brief change as you describe, following 9/11 or Sandy, but it soon reverted. I am in that nabe frequently and see visions of Dylan and Hendrix as I walk past Cafe Wha and Electric Lady Studios

      That’d be amazing! There’s a tiny snippet of Dylan playing it for a mic check on the “1966 Live Recordings” promo video on UA-cam. However, I don’t think he ever did it like that in the studio. I’ll do some digging though :)
