Mila Kunis. Even better if she'll stay for breakfast.

Ok. I didn't know that. But Henley and Frey were in Linda Ronstandt's band before forming the Eagles and then going solo themselves; is that correct?Joe Walsh was the lead guitarist of the James Gang. He was only hired as a sideman of the Eagles later.

Had a mix playing and The Traveling Wilburys' "Where Were You Last Night" came on, causing me to think that Jeff Tweedy would sound great exchanging verses with Bob Dylan on this song live. Perhaps Jeff could help revive the old band, taking on the moniker Doby Wilbury!

Trickle had been suffering from a persistent, severe, and mysterious pain.

The man took a lot of crap over his name, but, at age 71, this just can't be about that. R.I.P.

I was searching the JAF section for something specific and I came across this quote from Lynch in a thread about making a Wilco mix for a friend:
"Posted 16 March 2008 - 02:33 AM
I just introduced a friend to Wilco by borrowing him my YHF album and he loved it immediately."
Sorry Todd, even someone like George Harrison can fall prey to subconscious memory. At least you won't be sued over this.

Elvis played bass on one recording:
Pretty sure he's goofing, but I'm sure he hung in there:

What Light is a rock song?

Anyone can hit .333 over a three week period. Why should it be any different for a 37-year-old?
Ortiz is putting up the same numbers he did last year.

Catching Up With Otis Nixon
He's still not quite Lenny Dykstra, but at least he's trying.

Angel Hernandez has been a bad ump for a long time. He was acting crew chief that night, with younger umpires on his crew. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall with the other guys saying, "Ah...ahhh...yeah...you're right Mr. Hernandez...it hit...the...wall...ok...sure." I'm not sure there'd be a different result if Joe West, the actual crew chief, had been there that night. Got to be the worst crew in the game, although last night's Angels-Astros crew are a contender.

I'd love to see the full length out takes!

Other than the first Mermaid, Misunderstood was the first Wilco song I heard. The first minute of that song galvanized me to Wilco. A true turning point in my musical tastes.

This reminds me of the old Firesign Theatre parody commercial for Bob Dylan at the Met, where the announcer doing the bit says, "You can't understand a word Bob is singing...and that's when he's at his best!"
Your review gives me less trepidation for seeing the Wilco/MMJ/Dylan tour too. Thanks!
You're welcome. A security guard near me chuckled a couple of times when Dylan's voice popped trying to stretch out a lyric. He got a few "Not cool, dude" looks, that's for sure.
Even can hear the train whistles and sirens....
The amphitheater sits across the street from the police station, a block from a fire station, and has an elevated Amtrak line curving across the background. I sure wouldn't go see a quiet performer there.

I was 3 rows behind you! How did you like the show? Regardless of the fact that the setlists have been pretty much the same for the whole tour, it was still the best Dylan show I have seen. Did you notice the Raleigh cops watching the show from the steps of their building?
I may have been 2nd row, but I was far right side. I couldn't notice the cops as I was sitting very close to where the constant stream of people were running back and forth to the beer stand, and, of course, the ushers have to check their tickets each time (basically there was a checkpoint five feet from me). I tried not to get too distracted by it though. I did enjoy the show very much. It was great to hear Dylan use his "recording voice" rather than to hear him continuing trying to do something we all know he cannot. I'm even more looking forward to seeing him in Va. Beach this summer because of how he performed at this show. I was asked to write a review. It's in the ATS section: http://viachicago.org/topic/48914-bob-dylan-may-2-2013-raleigh-nc-red-hat-amphitheater/

I'm not really good at writing reviews, but someone asked.
Dawes were great, real tight. Two songs into Dylan's set they came and took seats in the second row to enjoy Bob. Eventually they ended up against the rail in front of the stage, but I don't understand why they did so much talking. You'd think they know better.
When I saw Dylan two years ago his band was spread out, played like awesome hired guns, and Bob's voice was incomprehensible (although I did enjoy the show because I'm a fan). Last night they played more like an organic band. They were basically in a circle (taking on the formation that bands sometime use when being videoed or televised, though they weren't) with Bob either up front singing and blowing the harp, or he took to the keyboard on the right (where he played most of the show). I don't think he played any guitar. Dylan had subtle interactions with his band and, if you were really paying attention, you'd see some small theatrics from Bob - nothing major, just something like Bob playing with his right hand while his left was turned inside out and placed on his hip while he lifted his left leg a little. Just Bob feeling the groove I guess! It seems to me he's adjusted the music to accommodate his voice. This performance sounded more like his recent records in terms of the low, gravelly voice rather than him still trying to rock out. The best part was that he was totally coherent. I could understand every word he sang. There were a few pops and hiccups here and there, but I'll take that over only being able to understand small portions of the songs. I thought Dylan's performance was fantastic and it makes me feel better about going to see him again this summer when Wilco tours with him.

Did you know that Rick James and Neil Young were in a band together for a spell? Mynah Birds. I believe there is audio of a tune or two they wrote together out there somewhere maybe the youtube.
They could never be on the same of the aisle at the same time.
-
I think Sara Gilbert looks like Jeff Tweedy, but I've never seen her in one of my grilled-cheese-and-Pringles sammiches. Thank GOODNESS!!!

Since Dylan changed his mind I had to take my camera back to the car. I couldn't even use the iPhone for pics because I was sitting right near the stage and there was a small herd of ushers and security right near me.Were you able to get any pics? Enjoy the show?

Actually I think I saw a teleprompter in one of Bruce's DVD concerts. I'm ok with it. Some people have bad memory skills. He's probably just covering his denim-wearing ass.
-
I didn't see Springsteen using teleprompters when I saw him last October. Dude rarely stands in one place. How's he pulling that off?
Saw Dylan tonight. He had a book atop his keyboard that he kept flipping through before each song. I'm assuming it was sheet music because he didn't utilize the book when he wasn't playing keyboard.
-
That's kinda hard to believe that Dylan's camp signed off on that. Maybe he's softening up in his old age - he definitely ain't getting any prettier, though.
Maybe it's just because Dylan likes to jerk people around.
Ticket taker when seeing my camera: "I'm sorry. When he got here, he changed his mind."
Oh Bob, you devious genius!

Worth the 3 hour ride! I was really impressed with Bingham. He really laid it down! Still not into MMJ now that I've seen them live, although I like 'Golden' and was pleased they opened with it. Jeff was just damn giddy during 'The Weight' and that was before he got to shake Dylan's hand in front of witnesses. Just having Dylan say his name on stage was probably too much for Jeff to handle with any kind of dignity. Haha!
