Bob Dylan - Fourth Time Around Live at Free Trade Hall, Manchester
In May 1966, Bob Dylan was in the thick of his legendary electric period, transitioning from folk music to a more rock-oriented sound. This live recording of 'Fourth Time Around' comes from a performance at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, a pivotal moment during his European tour. Just before this show, Dylan had released 'Highway 61 Revisited,' which featured classics like 'Like a Rolling Stone.' The energy at these concerts was electric, as many fans struggled to embrace his new style. Interestingly, this performance is part of the 'Royal Albert Hall Concert' in 'The Bootleg Series Vol. 4' released in 1998, revealing the friction and excitement of that time. Dylan's audacious blending of folk lyrics with rock instrumentation turned heads and raised eyebrows, but it also cemented his status as a trailblazer in the music world.
