Leicester '66

Leicester '66 - Bob Dylan (unlimited downloads, in the .m4a format)*


I love Leicester, I have often heard it used as the butt of jokes but of all the places I have been to, lived and stayed in Leicester is my favorite. I also love Dylan, probably more than anything. This is why when I found the Leicester '66 bootleg, recorded at De Monfort Hall in 1966, up for download at expectingrain.com I was very excited. I would happily give up a limb (or two) to be able to go back in time and have seen this Dylan gig.


Bob's Boots says the following about the bootleg: "This previously unknown audience recording surfaced in the early 90s. As with most audience recordings of the day, it is not the best of quality. Add to that some problems of the mic being covered up for about 20 seconds during It's All Over Now Baby Blue, the tape player being shut off during Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, and the batteries going dead during Desolation Row. To provide a continuous show, the manufacturer edited in the Colston Hall version of Desolation Row, and added the Leicester version as a bonus for the completists."
