From The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia by Michael Gray:

"Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964 [2004] Forty years after it was recorded, here was
Dylan’s big-venue New York City concert at the Philharmonic Hall on Hallowe’en 1964, released
as a 2-CD set, with excellent scene-setting, historical-context-setting notes by SEAN WILENTZ (who
attended the concert at the age of 13). This is a brief early excerpt from his essay, which begins by
reminding us that Dylan was 23 years old at the time, and in intoxicatedly relaxed mood:
‘Many of the songs, although less than two years old, were so familiar that the crowd knew every
word. Others were brand new and baffling. Dylan played his heart out on these new compositions,
as he did on the older ones, but only after an introductory turn as the mischievous
tease. ‘‘This is called ‘A Sacrilegious Lullaby in D minor’,’’ he announced, before beginning the
second public performance ever of ‘‘Gates of Eden’’. He was the cynosure of hip, when hipness
still wore pressed slacks and light-brown suede boots . . . ‘Yet hipness was transforming right on stage.
Dylan had already moved on, well beyond the most knowing New Yorkers in the hall, and he
was singing about what he was finding. The show was in part a summation of past work and
in part a summons to an explosion for which none of us, not even he, was fully prepared . . . "

Best Song:
"It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"

Favorite Lyric:
"Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands..."
