Este bootleg contiene el segundo concierto que Dylan dió junto a Levon Helm y Robbie Robertson el 3 de septiembre de 1965 (el primero es el del 28 de agosto). Los demás músicos son Harvey Brookes (bajo) y Al Kooper (piano y órgano).

The first "real" release (non-CDR) from the recently surfaced Hollywood Bowl tape. If I may, the cover, a 1965 color close-up of Dylan's head in front of a microphone, is absolutely stunning. Quality is very good, not Guitars-Kissing good but complaining about a '65 performance w/the Hawks from a board or reel source is a bit ludicrous, no? The show provides a revealing look at Dylan at the height of his unique powers during the acoustic set, which is compelling and IMO a more inspired performance than the '65 UK shows or even the '64 acoustic sets, for that matter. May be heresy but I find this acoustic set better even than the '66 ones (I got my flame-proof jacket on). The electric set is a different story. You can sense the tentative, apprehensive nature of the performance, with the reins pulled back a bit and the confident, headlong burst into the fire that would characterize the '66 shows not yet in evidence. Still, we get a rare live "From a Buick Six" w/ some lyric variations and a chance to hear Dylan w/the Hawks in only their second live gig (1st Forest Hills) in very good sound, taken from the board or a reel source. In any case, this one's a must, as much as the '63 TownHall/Carnegie, '64 NYC Philharmonic, '65 Manchester & '66 Manchester are musts. A major link in understanding the chain. Nice package w/the previously mentioned cover and artwork all around. Essential. (Same quality as the intial CDR release Western Electric on Wild Wolf).

The newly surfaced Hollywood Bowl tape is every bit as fascinating as had been rumored. The acoustic set is breath-taking perfection. The electric set doesn't 'crash' quite as hard as it will in the year to follow, but that's what makes it so wonderful. It shows an artist testing the waters for the onslaught to come. The cover photo of Dylan behind an interview microphone is spellbinding. The back cover contains the surrealistic artwork 'Desolation Row' from the 1970 LP release 'Daddy Rollin' Stone'. The title comes from a rare 1971 LP 'Black Nite Crash'. The only other relation they share is an early '60s acoustic set followed by the crash. This show is both historic, and wonderful listening.
