false 672399 7 There are endless debates among fans of Bob Dylan, but one thing many seem to agree upon is that no one writes about Dylan's performances better than Paul Williams. His style is analytical and wildly enthusiastic, and admittedly not for everyone. But those who delve into Dylan's work, especially the fanatics who are always seeking out live-concert tapes, will find his exuberant analysis of Dylan's onstage career riveting. This first book in the Bob Dylan Performing Artist series (a second volume, <I>Bob Dylan Performing Artist 1974-1986: The Middle Years</I> is also recommended) concentrates on Dylan's formative years, and of particular interest (especially now that Dylan's legendary 1966 Manchester, England, show has been officially released) is the critical analysis Williams gives to Dylan's mercurial and confrontational mid-'60s shows. Williams's infectious verve makes reading his Dylan books similar to watching baseball with a friend who really knows the game: your eyes are opened and you find yourself appreciating some brilliant nuances you hadn't been noticing before. <I>--Robert McNamara</I> 1657161 1991 Bob Dylan Performing Artist 1960-1973: The Early Years total:38|5:15|4:13|3:8|2:1|1:1| 38 154 48 5 1 0 false false Sat Feb 07 08:01:20 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 08:02:25 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 17 19:28:55 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 19:28:57 -0700 2009 here]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 1993 Sun Jan 13 11:26:08 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 18:47:58 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Apr 21 13:27:03 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 13:30:38 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Sep 13 20:21:04 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 20:21:22 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 07:45:15 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 07:45:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 30 20:38:17 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 20:38:17 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 19 08:13:21 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 08:13:25 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jul 18 19:12:07 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 19:12:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 09:38:36 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:38:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 05:15:53 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 05:15:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 17 05:15:13 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 05:15:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 09 16:41:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 16:41:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 18 09:09:26 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 09:09:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 01 08:39:53 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 08:39:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:56:50 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 00:56:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 07 13:07:10 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 13:07:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 03 05:44:29 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 05:44:50 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Nov 26 02:10:42 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 02:10:42 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Sep 13 20:32:27 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 20:32:27 -0700 2008
