Notes:
Below is the text from the back of the box and the introduction from
the liner notes. Everything in this collection is in black and
white. All of the scans are really gray scaled! Your
monitor hasn't blown a circuit!
The huge booklet that comes with this set has
transcriptions of the radio broadcast, press conferences, and Eat The
Document. It also includes a load of other articles about
Dylan. All of the discs in the Jewels And Binoculars collection come in
double jewel boxes, except disks 25 & 26 (VT-216/217)
which come in a cardboard sleeve that resembles a gatefold vinyl record
jacket.
Box
Back Text
Herein on 26 CD's are all the extant recordings of the Bob Dylan /
Hawks 1966 World Tour (apart from those still locked
away in the vaults), along with interviews, alternate studio
performances and mixes, and even some informal hotel room
recordings. In addition, this set contains an exact reproduction
of the rare 1966 tour program as well as a 100
page book of text and photos documenting the tour
and Bob Dylan in 1966.
The 1966 Dylan / Hawks World Tour is the stuff of
legend. But unlike most legends from a bygone era, the goods are here
to back this one up.
Liner
Notes
The 1966 Dylan
/ Hawks World Tour is the stuff of legend. But unlike most
legends from a bygone era, the goods are here to back this one
up. Right here, in this boxed set. While knowing the
historical context of these performances will no doubt increase the
listener's enjoyment of them, it's not crucial to the understanding of
why they are so exalted. All one needs to do is LISTEN.
Herein are all
the extant recordings of that tour (apart from those still locked away
in the vaults), along with interviews, alternate studio performances
and mixes, and even some informal hotel room recordings. Even a
cursory listen to them will reveal one clear truth -- that Dylan was ON
every night (and every day) in 1966. "On" both in
terms of performing splendidly and his bringing his art to new levels,
but also "on" in the sense that he was DYLAN (not Bob
or Bobby, and surely not Robert Zimmerman) every single moment, on
stage and off. From his biting put down of an Australian
journalist ("are YOU
successful?"), to his clever ways of dealing with audience hostility
("if you wouldn't clap so hard") to his weary yet triumphant "thank
yeeeeew" that ends the famed Manchester concert, he was INSIDE everything
he did, with every ounce of his being.
Except for some
brief flashes during the 1979/80 "Born Again" Tour, and
a few magical nights of the "Never-Ending Tour", Dylan (or any other
rock performer, for that matter) has never again achieved this level of
intensity, or challenged his audience so greatly while not being
pretentious, condescending or boring. It's clear that the quality
of the performances were in direct relationship with the hostility
coming from the crowd, but it was more than that. Dylan just KNEW
he was right about the quality of his music, and nothing could (or did)
sway him. And even if Dylan's motorcycle crash in the summer
didn't bring this era to a close, something else (burnout? drug OD?)
WOULD have. Levels of brilliance of this sort are
not designed to be maintained. But the residue is still with
us. So listen up!

On
the bad side:
There is not much new here. Though a fantastic set to be proud of
owning... the reality is that there is just too much. It's overkill to
hear every version of every song from every night. The manufacturers
choose to put one show per disc (or a long show on two separate discs.
While this creates wonderful flow and progression, it also adds several
more discs to the package. And of course, worst of all is the retail
price of this behemoth. If you want all of the 1966 recordings,
this is a prestigious way to own them. However, one might simply choose
to obtain the discs that interest them most on CDr.,
and save enough money to make a car payment.
