Like the Night (Rebound): Bob Dylan and Road to Manchester Free Trade Hall

'For any fan of Dylan, this is quite simply essential.' Time Out CP Lee's highly-acclaimed account of Bob Dylan's pivotal 1966 concert at Manchester's Free Trade Hall, the one where someone cried 'Judas' at Dylan for turning his back on folk music in favour of rock 'n' roll. It's possibly the most famous concert of all time. CP Lee was there. In Like the Night, not only does he bring the concert to life in vivid detail, but he takes us into the fabric of the city of Manchester that Dylan rolled into, and the rolling ball of confrontation that had chased him half the way around the world. He brings us eye-witness accounts of the people who were there with him that night, and years later he engages in a quest to identify the person who made the infamous heckle. The book also includes a remarkable set of photos taken from the audience by a 17-year-old grammar school student at the time, Mark Makin. 'CP Lee was there, but the point is, he can put you there too.' Greil Marcus
