Today marks the 55th anniversary of an important #BobDylan gig at the Berkeley Community Theater in Berkeley, CA. The 22 February 1964 performance was a triumph and helped propel Dylan to stardom. No recording survives but here's some ephemera and notes to mark the occasion. Image The performance came at the tail end of a road trip Dylan took with Paul Clayton, Victor Maimudes, and Pete Karmen that included stops to support striking miners, visit Carl Sandburg, party in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, see Dealey Plaza, and perform a small number of shows.
