The 1966 Live Recordings is a 36-CD boxset of live recordings from the1966 Live Tour byBob Dylan ,released onLegacy Records in November 2016.

The set was announced on September 27, 2016,[ 1] the track "Tell Me, Momma "was uploaded the next day on YouTube for promotion,[ 3] and the release was supported by a 12-minute documentary.[ 4] 'The Untold Story Behind The Recordings' finally gave full recognition to the pioneering work ofRichard Alderson ,who recorded the European concerts; most of the concert filming was, moreover, done byHoward Alk ,with only a few concerts partially filmed byD. A. Pennebaker .
The concert fromManchester (Discs 19 and 20) was previously released in 1998 as part ofThe Bootleg Series Vol. 4 .A concert from the boxset (London, 26 May 1966 – Discs 28 and 29) was released separately in November 2016 under the titleThe Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert .Additionally, the 13 April 1966 show in Sydney (discs 1 and 2) was released as an Australia-only limited edition double LP under the titleLive in Sydney 1966 .
The 1966 Live Recordings currently maintains a 93% positive ( "Universal acclaim" ) rating atMetacritic .[ 9] Jesse Jarnow from Pitchfork said, "A classic tour from start to finish, the set’s only drawbacks owe more to the format than the music", praising the great performances but insisting on the repetition of the same setlist, though noting that the repetitive setlists could be seen as a "feature, not a bug."[ 7]
All songs written byBob Dylan except "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down ".
All tracks in mono except CBS Records recordings (Discs 17, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30 and 31) which are in stereo.
