paul secor Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Great interview. I doubt that I'll buy the set. I'll just reread the interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will read the interview, wouldn't touch the set with a 10 foot pole. I love most of the first 10 years of his recordings as well as 'Infidels' and 'Time Out of Mind', but this is getting to be several bridges too far.

Teasing the Korean Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 From the above interview, Dylan on Sinatra: He was funny, we were standing out on his patio at night and he said to me, “You and me, pal, we got blue eyes, we’re from up there,” and he pointed to the stars. “These other bums are from down here.” I remember thinking that he might be right.

But now I think Modern Times, Together Through Life and Tempest are awesome. And I've enjoyed the previous two standards albums (Dylan does pretty darned well, and the band and arrangements are excellent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Still listening through the 1966 box. In Edinburgh, he sounds like a man possessed. As for The Band, listening to each concert (with the same set list), you notice that they improvise like a jazz combo. Same arrangements, yes, that get to the same places, but within each song, they play what they feel at the time. It's conversational, like a New Orleans band, but all focused on the singer. Garth Hudson is the standout (his responses to what Dylan is singing are exceptional), but they all do it - listen to Robbie Robertson play differently at each concert. No two solos are the same. It's really thrilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I've gone through the box. I enjoy the solo material most, though there are some outstanding band tracks as well. This week I've listened through the Triplicate discs three times. I really like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Folk music legend Bruce Langhorne has passed away, according to acolyte Dylan Golden Aycock. Langhorne was a session guitarist and percussionist and a friend to Bob Dylan. He inspired the song ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’, contributed the spidering guitar solo on ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ and played on Dylan’s tracks ‘Maggie’s Farm’, ‘Love Minus Zero/No Limit,’ and ‘She Belongs To Me’ and on The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.

Adam Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'd been hoping for some live material from the Christian years; really looking forward to this Bootleg. Now hoping that the next one will be live material from the tour with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic live renditions of the songs from this period; any Dylan fan would enjoy this, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yes, I have been digesting the 9 disc (and bonus 2 cd live show) from bobdylan.com and agree. The two discs with studio and rehearsal rarities are also really nice. Looking forward to viewing the DVD soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two discs with studio and rehearsal rarities are also really nice. Looking forward to viewing the DVD soon. Do you mean the Toronto and London shows when you say "bonus 2cd live show" or is that something I missed. If so where can I get it. Also I bought the 2cd set but dowloaded the "deluxe" set to get the rest so I don't have notes for the extra 6 discs. Where was the Toronto concert? Massey Hall? I like the horns he rehearsed with but doesn't seem to have used after that. Otherwise I find the rehearsals a bit desultory. A couple of the unreleased songs are great. And was "Let's Begin" released before? I think it's lovely. Because I pre-ordered I got a couple of downloaded songs before the official release but with no notes. One was the live The Groom's Still Waiting at the Alter. After I listened a couple of times I told my wife (a guitar player) she had to hear this guitar solo though I didn't know who it was by. It's really good. When I got the cd, I discovered it was Carlos Santana. Edited November 14, 2017 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Toronto is Massey Hall. It would have been nice to have horns for a tour, but apparently it was decided he could have the horns or the singers with him, not both and he chose the singers. Which makes sense. . . . The bonus material is "San Diego '79" a standalone two cd set that is/was only available ordering from bobdylan.com It didn't come cheap--you could get the deluxe set about 50 dollars cheaper elsewhere, but that wasn't the case when I pre-ordered and I knew I'd want the San Diego show. ..like the others it has the "sermons" excised, more's the pity.
