Taken from a newly-surfaced soundboard recording, First Time Around is a long sought piece of the legendary 1966 tour puzzle. Among many highlights, it features an electrifying version of "Positively 4th Street" which was dropped from the latter part of the tour. This double CD is a historical document of Bob Dylan at the peak of his creative power. On stage, alone with his backup band, his performances are electrifying. This deluxe package features a 28 page booklet of informative text and photos of interest.
