As the possible Copyright Protection for 1965 CD set approaches, and inspired by Zac's article in ISIS 181, I decided to assemble the 1965 live recordings into a set. ============================================================================ Les Crane 17 Feb 1965 This is from my low gen tape (possibly 1st gen). It differs a little from the 1965 revisited version. It seems to be a bit crisper (and not sound processed at all - I have speed corrected it) The Opening "From New York City: There are important people ..." is missing. It is a little longer with "Crane: Did you listen to the words of that? Did you hear the thoughts coming out of that 23 year old mind? That is really exciting. Really is fantastic. OK we'll be right back following this message'" I have NOT track marked the two songs. My Tape > Tascam 102 > Cool Edit Pro > TLH chat - It's all over now, baby blue - chat - It's alright ma (I'm only bleeding) - chat -------------------------------------- From 1965 revisited EAC > TLH 01 chat - It's all over now, baby blue 02 chat 03 It's alright ma (I'm only bleeding) - chat ======================================= Santa Monica 27 March 1965 This is from my old tape. This is not great but it is better than other tapes of this show that I've had. Originally recorded on a portable reel-to-real smuggled in by two girls (that you hear making comments after most songs). This is probably slightly better than the one on 1965 revisited. This tape is incomplete and not continuious (was turned off between most songs). It probably misses the opening song. This tape includes the incomplete "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" that is missing on the better quality boot "Songs that Made him Famous". My Tape > Tascam 102 > Cool Edit Pro > Wave Edit > TLH 1. To Ramona 2. Gates of Eden 3. If You Gotta Go, Go Now. 4. It's Alright Ma(I'm only Bleeding) 5. Love Minus Zero / No Limit 6. Mr Tambourine Man 7. Don't Think Twice, It's Alright 8.

This transfer from a tape collected by PL. Previously torrented May 2007 with EQ added. 1. The Times They Are A-Changin' 2. To Ramona 3. Gates Of Eden 4. If You Gotta Go, Go Now 5. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) 6. Love Minus Zero/No Limit [cut at 2:43] tt= 27:21 Notes (1) is in "Don't Look Back". (2) is listed in DLB (as "May 4") but doesn't match. (6) is in DLB, listed as "Newcastle May 9". (Newcastle was May 6.) ------------------------------------------------------------- My tape. This tape was labelled "1st gen" but given the quality I find that hard to believe. The tape is not continuous and of course incomplete. Three of these tracks are available in PA quality in "Don't look Back": ie A fragment of "times", complete "to ramona" & "Love-zero". My Tape > Tascam 102 > Cool Edit Pro > Wave Edit > TLH -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1965 Revisited Glass Master > EAC > TLH Very similar quality to the PL tape. =========================================== Manchester 7 May 65 This is from the master tape. It is not that much better than the recordings on "Now ain't the time for your tears", "Now's the Time for your Tears" and the "1965 Revisited" version. (imho). I haven't included two of these bootlegs as they are not different sources, just poorer quality. Free Trade Hall 1965 - Rattlesnake is an improvement, but no better than my tape (imho) This one has a fragment of "God Save the Queen" at the end.

God Save the Queen (frag) ----------------------------------------- From 1965 Revisited Glass master > EAC > TLH =================================== RAH 9 June 1965 My Tape is at least 2nd or 3rd generation and not very good (but probably better than other sources). Tape is not continuous and generally is stopped between tracks. The order is strange and possibly tracks 13 & 14 should be after track 4, but this is how it is on my tape.

It's Alright Ma(I'm only Bleeding) (inc) 14. Love Minus Zero / No Limit 15. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue ------------------------------------- This was torrented a while back with a "Master Recording" tag. This is a false claim as the quality is worse than my tape. A few things of interest with this recording: tracks 5 & 6 are possibly in the correct order although "that was called 'Gates of Eden' occurs AFTER "If you Gotta Go" and "It's Alright Ma" is complete, so these may have been spliced in. Possibly The Santa Monica 27 March was the actual source of "It's Alright Ma" CD > EAC > TLH -------------------------------------------------------- This is from 1965 Revisited CD > EAC > TLH The order of tracks 5 & 6 may be correct and track 5 is incomplete. ====================================================== BBC 1 June 1965 Forget all the other recordings of this BBC Broadcast, especially the bootlegs "At the Beeb", "The Circus is in Town" or the one on the "1965 Revisited" set. They were made with a microphone in front of a TV (also the same source as the Vinyl Bootlegs "BBC Broadcast" etc). Various line recordings turned up in 2003 & 2005 and this is the best of the five different recordings I have. I discussed all 5 tapes in ISIS 123 (December 2005). First Broadcast (actually the second part) BBC TV 19 June 1965 01 Ballad of Hollis Brown 02 Mr Tambourine man 03 The Gates of Eden 04 If You Gotta Go, Go Now 05 The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll 06 It Ain't me Babe Second Broadcast (actually the first part) BBC TV 26 June 1965 07 Love Minus Zero - No Limit 08 One Too Many Mornings 09 Boots of Spanis Leather 10 It's Alright Ma (I'm only Bleedin') 11 She Belongs to Me 12 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Best (master) Rediffusion (PA) recording. Emerged in 2005. ------------------------------------------------------- Recorded on 15th & 26th June 1965, in Hull, Yorkshire, U.K. using a KB domestic 1/4in. recorder with a BSR tape deck, running at a speed of 3.75ips via a line connection to Rediffusion wired system junction box. The recording is in Mono. Transferred from original master tape to MiniDisc then to CD-R. This tape, while in great quality, came in the wrong speed and needed some work before it was lisatenable. Volume, Speed & pitch corrected in London, U.K. 10th - 12th September 2005 using CoolEdit Pro 2.0. Some additional remastering including fade-in, fade-outs at start & end of disc were done. Noise or hiss reduction has not been performed, in order to best preserve the atmosphere and feel of the original tape which this can sometimes take away. ------------------------------------------- BOB DYLAN - "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" BBC Studios, London June 1st 1965 (Transfer from Tape) JTT BOB DYLAN BBC Studios London England June 1st 1965 Broadcast: June 26th 1965 Just one track received many, many years ago on open reel claiming to be from BBC Tape.

(but not the complete boot) I have two different tapes of this show (the initial short one, and the later longer one) but they are much the same quality as this.

I've chosen this one because it is the original CD, CDR > EAC > TLH ============================================ Chicago 26 Nov 1965 This is my low gen tape (possibly 1st gen from the taper - I don't remember) This was was about to circulate when these samples got heavily critized in a Dylan fanzine. The taper got upset so wouldn't circulate it. That was at least 20 years ago. I still live in hope that one day it will circulate. I wasn't aware that it had appeared on bootlegs (it's NOT on the 1965 revisited set) but it's actually on Give The Anarchist A Cigarette although it is annotated there as from "Back Bay Theatre, Boston, Oct 29 1965.

Tape > Tascam 102 > Cool Edit Pro > Wave Edit > TLH =============================================== And that's it. My intention was to allow people to pick & choose and shows / recordings that they want, so I put all the different ones into a single torrent. This is NOT ever single LIVE recording from 1965 there is, just the ones that I felt were different. Every known live 1965 recording is represented here. Where several boots cover the same show in the same quality I just included one. The tape versions (my tapes) are ALL new to circulation. LJK September 2015
