Live at The Gaslight 1962 is a live album including ten songs from early Bob Dylan performances recorded in October 1962 at The Gaslight Cafe in New York City's Greenwich Village. Released in 2005 by Columbia Records, it was originally distributed through an exclusive 18-month deal with Starbucks, after which it was released to the general retail market.[3] The album release coincided with the release of the documentary No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (and accompanying 26-song soundtrack).[4]
