yes, this is the concert of "that" incident... it's a shame really because it detracts from this superb concert album, which is really officially titled "The Bootleg Series: Volume 4, Bob Dylan Live 1966, The 'Royal Albert Hall' Concert"... i can't think of a punchier title...

the set-list for the concert of two halves is great, and the re-interpretations on the second side really get a Bob fan excited...

the first side is an acoustic set which many people described at the time as amazing. as they couldn't understand how he was staying on the stool, let alone remembering the words, considering the amount of drugs he had ingested... run-outs of "desolation row" and "mr tambourine man" are versions that i prefer to the album tracks, although none of these live up to the majesty of dylan's reworking of "maggie's farm" on hard rain, the first half is a great listen, especially loud, on headphones, late at night, in the dark... it's very intimate, and dylan's piercing harmonica punctuates his stumbling yet brilliant flourishes of guitar...

and before the second side, allegedly, to come up of the sedatives and heroin he had taken, bob snorted MORE heroin, and then took amphetamines... and i thought booze to cure a hangover was excessive. the difference is immediate, and just before the last song, "like a rolling stone", that moments surfaces...

impossible to pick highlights, because the whole concert is the experience, and just picking a couple of tracks would pervert that...

but, if you want to try before you buy, listen to "tamborine man", "i don't believe you" and "visions of johanna".
