Official tracks deleted (missing) from this version.  See Bob's Boots for an excellent description of this concert. Here's a brief excerpt.

The Town Hall concert is steeped in the rich tradition of Dylan folklore. It was, for all practical purposes, Dylan's first USA concert of any merit. There were about 600 people in the audience, far more than the young singer had ever faced before, and there are a few nervous moments evident in the show. But, what an incredible and historic show it is! The tape is turned on about a minute before the show, and the listener is transported into the middle of the audience as they anticipate Bob's arrival on the stage. About five seconds worth of hand clapping introduces the harmonica intro of the first song. There is no other introduction. Oh, to travel back to that first major performance and to be able to give this young man an introduction with the foreknowledge of what would come! The introduction would be as long as the concert! This ranks high as one of the most important boot releases of all time, and on top of that, it's simply a thrill and a joy to just sit back and listen to.
