Live 1962-1966 : rare performances from the copyright collections

"The double-disc set is precisely what it claims to be: 29 live tracks that were previously released as part of big clearing houses, now packaged for easier consumption. It's a smart move and a welcome one, too, as the copyright sets aren't designed for listenability, yet this compilation is, moving briskly from early folk tunes to electrified rock & roll. There may not be many epochal cuts here, but there is a surplus of first-rate performances here, particularly on the second disc, which gathers highlights from 1965-1966. For any serious Dylan fan who hasn't been willing to dive into the big copyright sets, this is an excellent way to get acquainted with the treasures that lie within".
