Olof indicates that there’s no known recording of this show in circulation. There are, however, two tracks believed to be from the above performance included on the boot “Fantasy Acetates.”:
Bob Dylan - Fantasy Acetate (1963-1964) Various Dates & Locations Stereo Acetate LP (Fantasy Records 77182)
From
http://dylanforeverandmore.blogspot.com/2007/09/fantasy-acetate-1963-1964.html :
“Keith Venturoni has been in touch with Fantasy Records, and confirmed that the tape from which this acetate was made came from Ralph Gleason, who was a co-owner of Fantasy at the time. The acetate was made from the tape between 1972-80 by David Turner, Fantasy's then chief engineer (this may have been during the period when Bob wasn't signed to Columbia)…..
“There are six rarities - three tracks that appeared on the withdrawn 1964 Columbia album Bob Dylan In Concert , one studio track that appeared on a Columbia acetate, and two tracks that are otherwise unreleased. Mr Tambourine Man - previously unknown live recording, most likely to be from the Royal Festival Hall, London, 17 May 1964. Hero Blues - The Times They Are A-Changin' outtake with piano, with fake applause added on the end (This version also appeared on early Columbia acetates of the album.) Percy's Song - live Carnegie Hall, New York, 26 October 1963, from unreleased Columbia album Bob Dylan In Concert ,also on bobdylan.com , Jan 1998. This version has no intro as on In Concert but has lots of audience coughing that is not on the In Concert version. Eternal Circle - previously unknown live recording, most likely to be from the Royal Festival Hall, London, 17 May 1964.” (Bold added.)
This is a beautiful performance of “Mr. Tambourine Man.” The sound quality is excellent, in spite of some pops and crackles in the recording.

“The Eternal Circle” was only performed twice prior to this show (2 November 1963, and 22 Feb. 1964). This London performance is the third and last.
