Title: Bob Dylan: Like the Night by C. P. Lee, Paul Kelly, C.P. Lee ISBN: 1-900924-07-2 Publisher: Interlink Pub Group Pub. Date: August, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.95 |

Rating: 4
Summary: Well researched and insightful
Comment: We are often told of how musicians and singers touch their audience with their work. But this book puts that sort of insight into a historical context which is quite compelling. We learn much from oral history and the author's own experience, but the author obviously did more than scholarly homework for this project. There is an authoritative command of the subject matter. I would recommend this book to any Dylan fans or those studying popular culture in general. For better and for worse, Dylan is a historical figure and shaped a generation with his move from folk to pop. His contribution to popular music should not be underestimated. Dr. CP Lee of Salford University gives this subject the serious study it deserves.
Rating: 2
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: For some reason this was a disappointing read. Of course any information about Bob Dylan and especially this concert is great, but the way it's processed in this book is distracting. The best parts are the stories of the people who were there. The least effective were Lee's cultural analyses and song analyses. The more he writes the more he gets further and further away from Bob Dylan, it seems. The music from this show is so great, and deserves better. That those great songs are trod through local cultural suppositions is distasteful. Scrounge around for Eat the Document, listen to the Live 1966 album, leave this book in the dustbin.
Rating: 1
Summary: Redundant, overpriced, and poorly written
Comment: You can buy Bob Dylan's LIVE 1966 in any self-respecting record store, and it comes with liner notes superior to this book.
