The Bootleg Volume 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964 – Concert At Philharmonic Hall is another archive live recording. It was recorded on October 31, 1964 in New York and the studio Another Side of Bob Dylan had been released a couple of months earlier in August.
It follows on from Live 1966 “Royal Albert Hall” and Live 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue.
This time, Bob Dylan is still a solo acoustic folk singer although it includes three songs from the yet to be released Bringing It All Back Home. Dylan was shortly to change popular music forever but we didn’t know it.
Joan Baez provided vocals on Mama, You Been on My Mind, Silver Dagger, With God on Our Side and It Ain’t Me, Babe.

What Do You Think?
Once upon a time, there used to be a shortage of live Bob Dylan albums but not any more.
They are usually interesting and different. I’ve built up quite a collection.
But which one or ones are the best? Which should a casual Dylan fan who likes listening to live music buy? This will appeal to those who like their Dylan to be acoustic rather than electric.
Fortunately I’ve got a Bob Dylan live albums poll and the results are interesting.
