Bob Dylan Bootleg LP - ISLE OF WIGHT Concert Live 1969 RARE EX

79

Rare bootleg album containing a hard-to-find performance by Bob Dylan and The Band at the Isle Of Wight Festival in 1969 right after Woodstock.  I came into possession of this through unfortunate circumstances.  My daughter has a coworker whose brother passed from Covid and she didn't want any of his record collection. 
This rare, 50 year-old bootleg LP is up for auction - Bob Dylan live at the Isle of Wight Festival in August of 1969.  The record's condition is excellent with nice shine and no spindle marks.   This one has some slight moisture discoloration on the cover (visible in photos) and the title of the album has been hand written on the front top.  The side edge looks like it says Great White Wonder #2.  Since the front said GWW - Isle of Wight I actually played the album to be sure and it is Indeed the Isle of Wight.  I noticed a couple tracks missing from the playlist. Minstrel Boy, Rainy Day Women and Mr Tambourine Man and I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine were on the playlist, but not this album.  I looked at some past sold albums and it seems the same tracks were not listed on theirs either.  Just calling what I see. Despite this, the plain white cover is intact and has a slight  split along the top edge. The album itself  has C-7-A This Isle of Wight show, and the ensuing bootlegs that cropped-up after, are legendary to fans of Dylan and 60s rock in general. Finally, the wrapper indicating "The Record Company" I have no idea if that is original or not? For those that aren't familiar, here's some info from online:

"The 1969 festival was considerably larger and more popular than the previous year's. Dylan had been little heard of since his allegedly near-fatal motorcycle accident in July 1966. Shunning the Woodstock Festival, held near his home in upstate New York, Dylan was initially reluctant to perform his comeback show on the little-known Isle of Wight. After weeks of negotiations, the Foulk brothers showed him a short film of the island's cultural and literary heritage; this appealed to Dylan's artistic sensibilities, as he was enthusiastic about combining a family holiday with a live performance in Tennyson country.  The family was scheduled to travel to Britain on the Queen Elizabeth II and nearly missed the gig because Dylan's son Jesse had been hit by a ship cabin door and needed to be hospitalised. Dylan travelled to the site by plane at the last minute.[7]

Before the festival, Dylan and his fellow Woodstock residents, the Band, rehearsed at Forelands Farm in Bembridge, and were joined there by George Harrison, the only "outsider" to have visited him in his enclave in the Catskill Mountains. On Saturday, 30 August, the day before Dylan was to take the stage, Harrison's fellow Beatles John Lennon and Ringo Starr arrived on the island, along with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton. Also seated in the sealed-off VIP area in front of the stage would be Beatle wives Pattie Harrison, Yoko Ono and Maureen Starkey, together with celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Françoise Hardy, Georges Moustaki, Syd Barrett, Donald Cammell, Elton John and others.

Thanks to rumours that one or all of the Beatles would be joining him on stage, Dylan's comeback show had become, in the words of music journalist John Harris, "inflated into the gig of the decade".  On 31 August, Dylan arrived on stage in a cream suit recalling Hank Williams.  Backed by the Band, he performed recent pieces from his Nashville Skyline and John Wesley Harding albums, as well as countryfied versions of earlier songs such as "Maggie's Farm", "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Like a Rolling Stone".

Dylan's setlist was as follows:

1. "She Belongs to Me"
2. "I Threw It All Away"
3. "Maggie's Farm"
4. "Wild Mountain Thyme"
5. "It Ain't Me, Babe"
6. "To Ramona"
7. "Mr. Tambourine Man"
8. "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine"
9. "Lay, Lady, Lay"
10. "Highway 61 Revisited"
11. "One Too Many Mornings"
12. "I Pity the Poor Immigrant"
13. "Like a Rolling Stone"
14. "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"
15. "The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)"
16. "Minstrel Boy"
17. "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"

Four performances from this concert were included on Dylan's album Self Portrait (1970): "Like a Rolling Stone", "The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)", "Minstrel Boy" and "She Belongs to Me". His set with the Band was also released in several countries on various bootleg records.
