This is what you missed, but do not fret, because it's all archived here just for you!

I celebrated Bob Dylan's 80th birthday on Monday night by playing what may be his most legendary show, May 17, 1966 at Free Trade Hall in Manchester, UK. This is the "Judas" show. You're not familiar? Get familiar.

I close out the two hours with a few tracks from the 1975/1976 Rolling Thunder tour, and one track from the Dylan/Petty tour of 1986.

If you're hungry for more Dylan birthday treats, head over to my other blog "A Season In Hell" for two hours of studio Dylan and a few great covers.

Let's pay tribute to the genius that is Bob Dylan.

The show I chose is a true classic. It's the "Judas" concert from May 17, 1966 in Manchester, UK. Dylan opened with an acoustic set, and then was joined by The Hawks (later to be known as The Band) for a second electric set. This upset many in the audience, who felt Dylan was turning his back on his folk roots. The recording is incredible and considered by Dylan fans to be much better than the official release from CBS, which was compressed and lost the warmth and depth of the performance.
