AMG REVIEW: This bootleg of Bob Dylan performing at the Gaslight in New York City is well worth seeking out for fans of the artist's folk years, as it proves to be a fascinating sampling of a young genius still finding his own voice in a live setting. Though a few originals are here (including an early live performance of "John Brown"), Dylan sticks mostly to traditionals, as was the norm in the early years of the folk wave. The funny thing is, Dylan plays his covers with such conviction that they actually almost eclipse his originals; while the performances of "Hard Rain" and "Don't Think Twice" seem to imply that Dylan was still unsure of his talents as a songwriter, he sounds strong and fierce in his renditions of "The Coo Coo Bird," "Handsome Molly," and "Motherless Children Have a Hard Time" — arguably the greatest track on the whole collection. The quality of the sound is surprisingly very good, especially considering it was taken directly from an early-'60s soundboard. Fans and scholars take note — this is inarguably one of the most historically important Dylan bootlegs out there, and it is definitely worth taking the time to find. — Barry Weber

Review:
The Gaslight tape is an absolute 'must have' to any serious collection. It has been available as a quasi-legitimate European LP for many years, in several different packages. In 2001, this Rattlesnake title was released with the complete 2nd and 3rd Gaslight tape. The tracks have been EQ'd to create a wonderfully quiet and crisp sounding version. The hand colored photos create a beautiful package.

Review:
The Gaslight tape is an absolute 'must have' to any serious collection. It has been available as a quasi-legitimate European LP for many years, in several different packages. BB-g35 is a reproduction of an LP box set.
There are tapes that float around that are better quality than the issued pieces. There are a few different CD packages / manufacturers available. As all forms of this recording are very good quality, Don't worry about which package to acquire. Most all have the same material.
* Subsequently released on the official CBS LP
'Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3'.
