    Bob Dylan, 24 May 1966: the famous Paris '66 concert! The event was supposed to have been recorded by the French radio Europe N°1 for its program "Musicorama", but there never was any broadcast... In 2016, 50 years later, the recording was finally released as part of the 36 CDs box set BOB DYLAN 1966 THE LIVE RECORDINGS.


     Please click on the image and turn on the sound: while listening to Bob tuning his guitar, you can flip the 14-page special Olympia programme (you can remove the ads by clicking on the small x).
