Hollow Horn Records, Unofficial Release | Superb Sound
“Remastered from what appear to be the master tapes, this recent edition of Bob Dylan's 1963 Carnegie Hall performance has to be heard to be believed. While the bulk of this show has appeared gradually over the last few years, a little bit here and a little bit there, this release features not only the five songs that have not circulated previously but the whole concert in the correct playing order with all of the many introductions and stories complete and in the best ever sound quality. Not to be missed.”
Review: This incredible labor of love release is an absolute must have to any size collection. Even though it is primarily a pirate release, and violates our policies on recommending pirates, for this long overdue concert we will overwhelmingly make an exception. Mainly because of the historical importance of the show, but largely because the tracks that have not seen official release have remained completely uncirculated even among the upper echelon of tape traders. To start with, the tri-fold cardboard sleeve that houses the two nearly identically silk screen printed discs includes some of the most striking color tinted images of a young Dylan that you will ever see. The front cover photo is simply breath-taking. The images, colors, and fonts help to create an over-all visual effect that is stunningly beautiful. The title uses European spelling, as that is the origin of the release. As for the music, it is, for all intents and purposes, as pristine, crisp, and clear as an official release. The tracks are not taken from the official releases, but from mix down tapes of the master. Because of this, they are a slightly higher generation than the master, so if you actually compare this release head to head with the official releases, you'll find the official release slightly brighter and crisper on the uppermost high end... but short of this side by side comparison, you'll never notice. There is little difference here (as to the released songs) from the officially releases. The biggest difference is that there is a short spoken introduction to North Country Blues on this release that is not heard on the promo release. Every song is a highlight and high point of the show, but to point out a few notables: This is the first live performance of The Times They Are A-Changin’. Bob had recorded what would be the title track to his upcoming LP release only three days before at CBS studios New York. Boots Of Spanish Leather is another song that would appear on the new album, but Bob had already performed this song several times by now, and it is now smoothed and honed to perfection. Another remarkable song is Lay Down Your Weary Tune. Biograph contains the only studio recording of this song, and this release presents the only live version. And of course, the standout highlights are the seven tracks that make their first appearance in four and a half decades. Before Blowin' In The Wind, Dylan tells a funny story that a friend related to him about a conversation he had had with a post grad that was studying for his masters degree. He had taken the word Blowin as meaning "to blow into". He couldn't understand how you could blow into the wind and get an answer.
All things considered, this set stands as one of the all time great musical releases. Yes, that includes legitimate Label releases as well. Dylan and CBS have truly missed the mark here by not giving a thumbs up to this shows full release. And, as only seven songs from the show have not seen official release in one form or another, it makes no logical or economical sense to deny the complete concert. Perhaps it works out better this way. Legacy would not have created this immaculate of a package. Thank you, Hollow Horn. Long may you blow. -bobsboots.com
