Yes, I've just looked it up.William the White wrote:I think it probably was 66... The first half was acoustic and solo... The second electric and band and half the theatre emptying... But not me and our bunch...Montreal Wanderer wrote:I think it must have been his 1966 World tour, which I saw in Montreal in February 1966 (it went to Liverpool the following May). 1965 was his last tour solo and acoustic. 1965 was in the Empire theatre and 1966 in the Odeon if that helps.William the White wrote:I've seen my favourite aria - Di Provenza, il mar, il sol... half a dozen times live in productions of La Traviata in Manchester, London, Bristol and Leeds...
I saw Dylan royally feck up one of my favourites of his with an electric version of One Too Many Mornings back in about 1965 in Liverpool... This doesn't count really because I'd have about 20 songs competing for my favourite Dylan... And I've sen him feck up most of them one time or another in live performance all over the UK...
Highway 61 revisited remains one of my favourite albums so I stayed to the end (most people did in Montreal IIRC). It was the first time he was backed by Robbie Robertson (good Canadian content) and the Band (I'm not sure if they were called the Band then). The electric half was a bit of a shock - though not as bad as Nashville Skyline was to me!Acoustic Half

Re: Have you seen your favourite song live?
Back in the mists of time I had Dylan's early stuff albums: Tambourine Man, Maggies Farm, Positively Fourth Street, Gasoline Alley Bred and that sort of stuff. Only ever bought one single (45 ep )of his: Lay Lady Lay, backed by Knocking on Heaven's Door. Played the grooves off it

Re: Have you seen your favourite song live?
Saw quite a lot of pop bands live 60's and 70's, Meseybeats, Searchers, Swinging Blue Jeans, Billy J Kramer, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates type stuff. Won't claim to have heard much though except hyper-histerical, screaming the place down, girls .

Been a bit miffed that whenever I've seen I Am Kloot they haven't done From Your Favourite Sky. Anyway, in February they opened with it. Happy me
May the bridges I burn light your way
