    The Official Bob Dylan Thread

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I would buy the Deluxe Version for the Isle Of Wright show alone! I was wondering if that was ever coming out in full, unedited form. The stuff with George just sealed the deal.

     

    This is really exciting!!! I thought I was the only one in the world who appreciated that period of Dylan.

    It's got that slow, slinky, hanging on by a thread,  psychedelic sound typical for 1969 Dead.  I like it but can't listen to a ton from this era. That "High Time" must be the biggest train wreck I'm heard them do. They almost stop it completely. Ouch!

     

    However, the "Black Peter" is worth the price of admission. Jerry's guitar and vocals are out of this world on that one!!

     

    And more '77 releases? I"m with Vacant Horizon...surprise us with an early 80's or nice '94 show. They do exist ya know.

    What do folks think of Vol.6 so far?

    Are you being sarcastic?  If not this is getting a little ridiculous.  All singers forget lyrics sometimes.  Jeff Tweedy does it all the time.  

     

    Lip-syncing, stealth musicians off stage, are one thing, but there's nothing wrong with having words to reference every once in a while during a lyrical brain fart.. 

     

    No sarcasm from me. The teleprompter bugs me. And yes, of course I know the reason they are used. I'd rather have Tweedy forget some lyrics then to use an aid. To me, it's glorified karaoke to use them, even if they are your own words you're reading. And I stand by my statement that it affects the way you sing.

    there are a lot of shitheads out there asking prices they will never get...

    Yeah, some insane prices on there for sure. I really don't understand the prices for the Big Star album. I didn't even think that was a RSD "exclusive" or anything. They had about 5 copies of that at my store and I think they are still there.

    Lawn Boy was long over due. There was only 1000 copies originally pressed. Those original 1000 were going for $700 a piece on ebay. I also have Junta on vinyl sealed and can't bring myself to open it yet...

     

    I would say after Pearl Jam original pressings Phish are the most expensive. Ghost and Farmhouse continuously go for over $150...crazy stuff.

     

    Hmmmm...maybe I should offload my original Vs. and Vitalogy albums. I never listen to them anymore and don't really care about having them just for collector reasons.

    Phish Lawn Boy

    White Stripes Elephant.

     

    I had in my hands the one copy in the store of Lawn Boy and put it back and within seconds it was gone. I now see them going for almost $100.00 on Ebay. Ouch! I really wish I had the Junta one they released last year.

    I just don't think he'll let this opportunity for creative collaborations with these other great artists pass him by.  

     

    Most artists that open for Bob come off the tour saying they never even met him, let alone played with him. I doubt collaborations will happen but I'd love to be pleasently surprised. Hell, Bob isn't playing "Like a Rolling Stone" anymore so anything's possible.

    Got a ton of great vinyl! 

     

    Husker Du, Dylan, Stooges/Black Keys, Rolling Stones, Bowie, Pink Floyd (7 Inches), Big Star colored vinyl soundtrack. Miles Davis-Round Midnight, Milestones, Someday My Prince Will Come. Yo La Tengo-Fade. Lord Heron.

     

    But the best thing I found was a pristine used copy of The Clash-Sandinista with the lyric sheet! The fact that it there is nothing short of a miracle considering their used collection usually is mostly Journey, Neil Diamond, and Billy Joel.

    Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

    The inauthenticity of Edward Sharpe I always took as intentional.

    Alex Ebert is doing a commedia del'arte thing...it's all a part of a greater performance. The messianic Edward Sharpe and his band of musical hippies. Very contrived but purposefully so...the music being so catchy simply adds to the picture for me.

     

    I never quite knew what to think of them until I saw the documentary of them on the train with Mumford and Old Crow ("Big Easy Express"). I thought they were the best part of that wonderful film. Their energy and pure love of each other and their music is really infectious! I actually had the opposite experience then Beltman; I always found their CD's lacking until I saw them live. Now I find their cd's REALLY lacking compared to the energy they have live.

    David Bowie

    This could be something similar to Dylan's 'Time Out of Mind'; a comeback that addresses issues of age and death.

     

    I thought "Hours" was exactly that. I remember being stunned by some of the direct lyrics on that album when it came out. Bowie had never really written that way before and this sounds like this tune could have been on that album.

     

    I too am thrilled he's back and the new song is just awesome!
