Is Chicago Is Not Chicago

John Coltrane - Giant Steps

it got the ball rolling and crossed me over

Walken with horns, aye? How did it sound? Quite an interesting development...could this mean we may be looking at horns on the studio version?

has anyone ever read "journey to the end of the night?" by: Louis-Ferdinand Celine? I'm quite curious....being a big henry miller fan, and kerouac as well I think it would be up my alley...wondering if anyone could reccomend...

also interested in "under the volcano" by malcom lowry? any thoughts or musings...?

glad to see that Neuwirth is on there. not to mention garth hudson!

i'll hunt them down later..

no need froggie! I just got them. Anyways you've been so helpful to me in the past. Maybe this can help you:

lost highway and what was the other again??

I'm so lonesome I could cry

i got em at home.... i'll try and rememer tonight

I found the denver hotel tapes..so no worries about that. but if you have the two hank songs from Don't Look Back, that would be absolutley immaculate!!!

Ok here it is!

Bob Dylan-Money Blues mp3.

Sorry about that....to be honest with you, i had forgotten about it until yesterday when the database at VC was down. So now that everything seems to be working again over here....enjoy!

thanks so much, I really appreciate it!

I hate to be this guy, but I was wondering if anyone on here could help me with some other rare dylan stuff, I was looking for. Does anyone have the denver hotel tape from '66 divided up into mp3 songs instead of one large 40 min file? I'm really only looking for the 3 "unreleased songs" and don't need to hear the just like a woman, and sad eyed lady of the lowlands from that....Also seeking out Dylan's version of "Lost Highway" from the Don't Look Back film...

any help would be fantastic!

My take on Frankie Lee, and basically the album as a whole, is that it is a deep and dark exploration of biblical themes and struggles played against the struggles of average Americans. Church vs. whorehouse/gambling/prostitution in Frankie Lee; the Poor Immigrant who simultaneously hates his life and fears his death; Dear Landlord -- please dont put a price on my soul; St Augustine ends with him alone, terrified and bowing his head and crying; John Wesley Harding -- a friend to the poor.

 

I am not religious at all, but the themes are just too powerful to ignore. The twang of the songs (maybe intentionally?) divert your attention from the heaviness of the subject matter. But these are not light songs. I have never been able to pin down any specific message or point that he is trying to make (I don't think Franke Lee actually means anything, but it says an awful lot about a lot of things subtley). Its a snapshot, basically. Like Desolation Row, maybe?

 

Simply put, its a masterful album.

very well put!

any word on money blues mr. o'boogie?

The complete set of all recording from Desire Sessions, (including official versions), but expertly remastered.

I think some of this is offically released, so i cant post it on dime or anything like that, but i could probably put it up on yousendit sometime today. Is it ok if i keep all the files in FLAC format?

if you could post money blues on here in an mp3 format that would help me immensley on this endless quest! (As is all Im truly looking for, everything else I believe I already have). Putting up the entire torrent in FLAC than would not be a problem on my end really. Thanks so much for your help Winston O'Boogie I really appreciate it!!!

To answer part of your question, I just found a new torrent "The Desire Sessions" on Oink. Its in FLAC format and it includes "Money Blues." I'll download it and I'll send the track to you (or post a link here if anyone else would like to hear it) at some point tomorrow. Either way is fine with me.

god bless your soul!!! thanks so much. I've been looking for that track for quite awhile... What does the rest of the session contain? Abandoned Love, CatFish, Golden Loom, Rita May? Anything else unaccessible on official release like Sign Language? or Wire Tappin'?

this might be incredibly random but theres two things I'd like to ask.

1. does anyone know if the song "money blues" from desire circulates (and if it does and someone has their hands on it could it be posted?)

2. does someone have the dylan version of "I Can't Get you Off My Mind" from the hank williams tribute disc that they could post?

you'd help me out immensley!

thanks so much

what what i've heard/read it'll de damn impossible for it to leak. bob's really keeping it quiet. it'll be interesting on the next tour, since the album comes out during the tour. will he not playing anything at all from the album until the following tour, or will he start playing new songs on the release date

i'm seeing him on the sat. before his album comes out than the friday after it comes out. I'll be excited to compare and contrast....

semi related I pilgrimaged to the Rock and Roll hall of fame this weekend for the dylan exhibit. It was so awesome....

I also finally picked up SAVED. I don't know how I ever lived without it!!!

Do you mean My Morning Jacket?

damn. just checked it out. your right. Although, I'm not convinced that they are THAT special...I had higher hopes...

Wasn't it Jim Keltner who said he was floored when TOOM came out and Girl from the Red Shore had been omitted from the track listing? He said something in an interview a couple years later that it was one of the best songs Dylan ever wrote. If that's the case, it'll surface in the years/decades to come, that's for sure.

 

I like Rank Strangers and Brownsville Girl from the two late '80s duds. UtRS has a few saving graces, but it's mostly substandard by far.

definatley! depending on the commerical success of this new album (which I can't imagine it being anything less than outstanding) i'm sure we'll see much more officialy released material. Post TOOM gave us Live '66 show...and post L&T gave us Live '75, Live '64, NDH Soundtrack and the NDH Documentary and Chronicles Vol. 1 as well! (granted it was quite a long gap). So if this album sells favorably we might see another huge outpouring in the years to come...or at least when the man finally croaks (god forbid)

i'm still holding out for a Complete Basement Tapes Session and a Complete Freewheelin' Sessions... or another installment of the bootlegg series set up just like vol. 1 - 3 I thought Vol. 7 (NDH Soundtrack) was decent but lacked...I realize they could only go up to '66 but theres more than a few overlooked gems that didn't make it on there...

Just for everyone's reference, MMM is from 6:00-8:00 on Sunday night, and Wilco plays from 6:30 to 7:30, so assuming you want to see Wilco, you'll only be catching snippets of Mike's set. At least the Bud Light stage isn't too far from the Mindfield stage.

damn! there's actually a lot of conflicts for bands I want to see playing at the same time....

is anyone in the know of whom the special unannoucned guest might be?

Yeah, I like that version better. It's just like Mississippi, Bob wanted a diff sound than Lanios'. Or maybe he just didn't want to release all the best tracks to piss people off...

hope the original mississippi and "girl from the red shore" (outtake from TOOM) see official release one of these days...

My buddy Greg and I will be there. We're staying at the Hard Rock hotel downtown. Anybody have anything going on?

hell yea! i'll be there. Just booked my hotel...12 miles out from grant park because I way too lazy to jump on the good ones when I had the chance.

mix master mike (dj of beastie boys fame) has just recently signed up!

thanks for putting these up!

what kills me is how long he's taking between albums these days. and how frequently he was putting out lack luster albums in the 80's. I mean the man himself said he was in huge dry spell and he couldn't get out of it...than why was he mass producing albums?

very interesting....maybe some of these reviewers were right when they said there were at least 3 masterpieces on the album. (the rest quite trite!?) although I refuse to believe that this album will be anything but top notch genius from our curly haired cowboy bard.

I wonder what preview listening/pre release reviews of Love and Theft said...

i know they are only 30 second clips...but i still refuse to hold to listen to them. I'm very stubborn and really enjoy the chance to listen to the whole thing brand new. But i still like to pick your guys brains. Can you tell me a bit more?

Musically is the faster stuff rockin or honky tonkin?

Slower stuff breezy ballady like on LT or straight heart wrenching slower torch ballads like TOOM?

Reviews said dylan spent an uncharacteristic amount of time on the vocals does it really show? (also claimed his prhasing was Sinatraesque...any truth to that?)

They also said...the lyrics were supposed to me more in the tradition of planet waves with sublime love songs rather than dylans heart getting ripped out...

seem to recieve lots of positive comments regarding this! allmusic.com even referred to it as her masterpiece. I'm definatley gotta check it out. I've been listening to the jenny lewis record alot, and for some reason it's been in my head to give dusty in memphis a spin...

thinking about checking out the Dusty Springfield album, "Dusty In Memphis" I've never heard any of her other albums...but Im intrigued. Anyone have any comments on it...?

wilco tapers make the world go round (in my humble opnion). If it wasn't for them we would have not gotten to hear any of the new songs theyve been playing (those of us who cannot attend the recent shows) but not to mention all the wonderful covers. In particular the 2 JT solo covers of Dylan songs.
