Dylan, Bob
Finjan Club
FANTASTIC 140 GRAM VINYL, DOUBLE LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE. LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 ONLY.
At the time this legendary Bob Dylan gig was performed, his debut record had been in the shops just four months, and
Dylan was still a virtual unknown in circles outside of the Greenwich Village folk community. But in the summer of 1962,
Terri van Ronk, wife of the late great Village folksinger Dave van Ronk, began arranging a few out-of-town gigs for the
fresh-faced young Bob. He was brought in at short notice to perform at Moe Feinberg's PotPourri Club, located at 1432
Stanley Street in Montreal; Dylan was apparently paid $125 for a four-night engagement there, which ran from June 28th
to July 1st.
Unfortunately, those shows were not documented, but Dylan was asked to stay on in Montreal and on July 2nd he performed
at the Finjan Club on Victoria Avenue. The Finjan wasn't a large club and didn't draw big names. Nevertheless, over time
lucky patrons were fortunate enough to hear some soon to be famous musicians including John Lee Hooker, Josh White, and
Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. On the evening of July 2nd, Jack Nissenson, then a member of a traditional folk group
called Pharisees, took his British made reel-to-reel recorder along to the Finjan and taped Bob Dylan's performance, the
result of which is now presented here.
