AI notes: On October 26, 1963, Bob Dylan took the stage at Carnegie Hall in New York City for a landmark solo performance that signaled his rapid ascent from Greenwich Village folk clubs to national prominence. Just 22 years old and riding the momentum of his breakthrough album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Dylan delivered a politically charged and poetically rich set that included songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” and the controversial “Who Killed Davey Moore?”—a biting critique of American sports culture. The concert reflected Dylan’s growing confidence as both a songwriter and cultural commentator, blending sharp social commentary with a disarming stage presence that captivated the audience. Though no official full recording of the concert was released, its impact echoed through contemporary reviews and bootlegs, further establishing Dylan not just as a folk singer, but as the voice of a restless generation on the brink of seismic social change.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete in 24 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.
