Venue: L'Olympia Bruno Coquatrix Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France Date: May 24, 1966

In May 1966, Bob Dylan performed at L'Olympia in Paris, showcasing his evolving sound as he embraced electric instrumentation. Just before this show, Dylan released 'Blonde on Blonde,' which stands as a cornerstone of his musical legacy, celebrated for its lyrical depth and innovative merging of rock and poetry. Interestingly, 'Tell Me, Momma,' a standout from this concert, never saw an official release, yet it remains a fan favorite, epitomizing the raw emotion and sonic experimentation of Dylan's electric period. This moment captured at the Olympia reflects not just a pivotal turn in Dylan's career but also a cultural shift in the music world, as artists began to blend genres and break conventions.
