view full location details...gaslight cafe

Opened in 1958, the Gaslight Cafe was a beat and folk music hangout in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan. The Gaslight (or "The Village Gaslight") was originally a "basket house" where unpaid performers would pass around a basket at the end of a performance to earn money.
Numerous musicians, poets and comedians made their way through the Gaslight. Bob Dylan recorded a performance "Live at The Gaslight 1962" that was released in 2005.
According to the Folk Music Encyclopedia: "The Gaslight was weird then because there were air shafts up to the apartments and the windows of the Gaslight would open into the air shafts, so when people would applaud, the neighbors would get disturbed and call the police. So then the audience couldn't applaud; they had to snap their fingers instead."
The Gaslight closed its doors in 1971.

This is the location of the Bob Dylan recording known as the "Minnesota Party Tape."
In 1960, teenager Cleve Petterson had purchased a reel-to-reel recorder. He hung out at the local coffee shop, and he asked a local folk musician to perform some songs. Bob Dylan agreed.
They went to this address, along with Bonnie Beecher, and "Cynthia"- another local musician and friend of Dylan's.
Petterson recorded and Dylan performed the following: "Blues Yodel No. 8," "Come See Jerusalem," "San Francisco Bay Blues," "I'm a Gambler," "Talkin' Merchant Marine," "Talkin' Hugh Brown," "Talkin' Lobbyist," "Red Rosey Bush," "Johnny I Hardly Knew You," "Jesus Christ," "Streets of Glory" and "K.C. Moan."
The recording can be heard at the Minnesota Historical Center.
gray’s campus drug
from bob dylan posted in music by crabapple
Bob Dylan moved to the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis in the fall of 1959, and attended the University of Minnesota as a journalism major for a year. One of his apartments was above a place named Gray's Campus Drug at the corner of 14th Ave S and 4th st SE. Today, the drugstore is an upscale pasta bar.
While only in Dinkytown for 15 months before moving to New York, Bob Dylan had some formative experiences here: being introduced to folk music, trading in his electric guitar for an acoustic, hearing Woody Guthrie for the first time and reading Guthrie's book, Bound for Glory.
