Important note:
If you already got an earlier upload, you wouldn't need this recording. It's a shame that I don't even like this recording quality at all. I can only give B- to C+. I was standing right in front of huge speakers. As always, I used the built-in microphone, however, the sound goes from clear to muddy and vice versa all the time because my recording device was in a very unstable position. Lots of noise can be heard here and there. I've had a cold for a few weeks, and you can hear me coughing sometimes. Yet, I just want to make a small contribution to the Bob Dylan fan community.

Additional notes:
This was my 11th Bob Dylan show and the first show in the U.K. Also, it was first show in exactly four years since I saw the series of his concerts at Beacon Theatre in NY.
I was asking for the ticket at several websites. I received no response, and thank god, I got a pretty good seat on the day of show; very left on the 2nd row. Expecting to form a long queue as I did in the U.S., I got to the venue at 8:30 a.m., but found no one. Instead, box officers told me to check back frequently later. Eventually, I got the ticket at 2 p.m., and later found out that people around me went online at about the same time. In the U.S., I went straight to the venue on the day, and there would be some tickets being released by Bob's management a few hours before the show all the time.

I'm not writing further review as it is a negative one to some extent.

You can hear the voice of a famous follower of Bob's in the first few seconds, by the way. Though, it would be hard for you to identify her.

Some of my poor-quality photos are included. At least, you can figure out where I made this recording.
