Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of "Like a Rolling Stone" less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features 26 rare and unreleased recordings (most between 1961 and 1966), including 1959's muddied "When I Got Troubles,' reportedly the first song Dylan ever put to tape, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed live soon after Dylan's arrival in New York. While the usual suspects are present--"Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Masters of War," "Mr. Tambourine Man"--this collection unravels the unexpected, including an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ("Sally Gal"), captivating alternate takes of "She Belongs To Me," "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and "Visions of Johanna" (with full band) and the ripping electric version of "Maggie's Farm" that throttled the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and carried Dylan over the genre-influencing threshold into generation-altering icon status. --Scott Holter Recommended Bob Dylan

 This is the album that got me into Dylan September 29, 2008
Joseph D. Land
Before I heard this album, I viewed Dylan as over rated and I did not understand what all the fuss was about. The main song I had heard before this was rainy day women with it's horrable lyrics "everybody must get stoned".
But this album made me realize what a genius, word smith Dylan really was. Many of the songs on it are the best versions including: Don't Think Twice, Blowing in the Wind, Chimes of Freedom, Hard rain and so forth. This is a MUST have Dylan compilation and it stands as my favorite!

I would disagree with anyone who says this isn't just for serious Dylan fans. I am one, and there's still a lot here I wouldn't want to listen to very often....a lot of the songs are alternate takes where he seems to be working out the melody or instrumentation or lyrics for a particular song, & while they're interesting as insights into his creative process, it also becomes clear after listening a few times that these versions got rejected b/c they're just not as good as the ones that were released. If you're looking for alternate takes on Dylan tunes, you're better off with some of the many live recordings - I'd pick bootleg 4, 5 & 6 over this, and the Concert for Kampuchea set.

I changed my e-mail so I can't get on to update last review. It's still me, Nadia. Other than this version of Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat that I love so much I really want to emphasize that there are lots of gems in this 2 album collection. If you still haven't heard Masters of War, I highly suggest hearing it in this live version because the first time I heard it was on this collection and then I heard it later on in his regular album. But this is FAR SUPERIOR. It is indeed so powerful--both in the tune--his guitar, and also the words are so powerful and he does it all by himself!!!! He had courage to stand up against conformity and sing his deepest thoughts--at such a young age. Certainly we should have more Bob Dylans floating around. I was so moved at hearing Masters of War for the first time ever from this live performance, tears rolled from my eyes, it is so powerful and wonderful!! When the Ship Comes In is one of my very favorites. Read the lyrics to this song! The tune and lyrics together make this a VERY POWERFUL song. This young Bob Dylan is so bursting with talent it is truly unbelievable. Maggie's Farm and Tombstone Blues are stepped up versions and everyone is having a blast playing them. You will definitely like these versions. Do not stop with this Bootleg Series #7--I suggest Bootleg Series 1-3, which is also a MUST BUY and a few other first albums--see my other reviews for the entire little collection I recommend if you are just starting out with Bob Dylan. So much talent in such a young man!! I find that truly amazing.

This is a fun Bob Dylan experience with some insights, especially Bob on camera. Get the DVD as well - they come in a package.
"Bobby D Finds his roots" November 10, 2006
Bob Chorba (Milwaukee, Wisconsin United States)
This was an absolutely TREMENDOUS CD.
Especially recommended on Side 2 are "She Belongs to Me" ("She's an artist, She Don't look Back") and a Devestating Version of "Desolation Row".
On Side 1 are "When my Ship comes in" (In the Video Baez tells how Dylan is upset that they won't let him in a Hotel because of his "Scruffy appearance", then as Baez tells it "So he wrote 'When My Ship comes In' He can't get a Hotel Room, so he writes when my Ship comes In"!!!)
Also on Side 1 is a "Catch Lightning in a Bottle" version of "Chimes of Freedom.
AND if you like this CD, check out Baez's performance on YOUTUBE of "Diamonds and Rust"; Then go to the 1992 Dylan Tribute where the Clancy Brothers (and for this performance only Tommy Makem) do "When My Ship Comes In". You can't go wrong on any of these.
