The Carnegie Chapter Hall concert in full: 4 November 1961

Dylan on Tour: concert recordings selected by Tony Attwood

In this series, I’m just searching the internet for complete, or near complete, recordings of Dylan concerts.  In each case I’m not particularly concerned with the video – it is the music, and having the whole concert, or at least a lot of it, and having a decent quality of the audio, that is the heart of the idea.  As well of course as having an index to the selected concerts in one place, making them easier to find.

At the moment I’m particularly interested in some of the earlier concerts, not least because of my reading of Heylin’s book “The Double Life of Bob Dylan” which I’m commenting on in the series, of the same name.    The latest edition of that is The Double Life of Bob Dylan part 19: All around the world and I’m getting close to the end of that series.

But back to the concerts, previously we have had

This one as the video below states is Carnegie Chapter Hall, 4 November 1961

Depending on the settings you have, there might be adverts, but you can play around with settings and maybe get rid of them.- and it may continue to another concert, although the quality of that recording (if you get it) is not of the best, so I am only listing the songs from the first concert

The songs are

  • Little Girl (Starts around 1’50”)
  • Hold On
  • Italian Hall
  • Trouble Taking Place
  • White Horse Bar
  • Fixing to Die
  • Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre
  • Old Man
  • Liberty Ship
  • Hezekiah Jones
  • Freight Train Blues
  • Hey Woody
  • New York Town

Of course my gratitude to those people who recorded and who have maintained these recordings and made them available on the internet.

There are details of the other series we are running at the moment, along with some that have recently finished, on the home page .

Also if you look on the right-hand column and scroll down you will come to the heading “Indexes and reference pages” which gives a greater insight into our many past series.  We have in fact published over 3500 articles in something like 16 years.  Who’d have thought that was possible when we started?

  3. The White Horse Bar listing is a traditional song called “Lang-a-Growing” ( long time growing), a song sung by Liam Clancy for one. Dylan varies the words bit.

    From the traditional:

    At the age of 15, he was a married man
    At the age of 16, he was the father of a son
    At the age of 17, over his grave the grass grew green
    Cruel death had put an end to his growing
