Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I still think it was him. LOL I am convinced it wasn't. Given what we have seen in the past of Robbie's ego, do you think he wouldn't have trumpeted that from every stage he's been on since 1966?You think he wouldn't have dropped the hint to Wenner, Marcus, Landau and Marsh at some point in time?

bjorn_skurj Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I wonder if Garth will get any money from this? I hope so, so he can pay his back rent to Mike Piazza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I am getting obsessed with the thought of the official release of this material. There is probably no other material in the Dylan archive that is of this much interest left. I think there are things which would be good to hear that have not been released, but this is the holy grail of non-released material. After all these sessions are the reason bootlegging became a big business in the first place. There may still be a few concerts which could be reasonably packaged as interesting and maybe a few outtakes from the big three album sessions, but everything else is an anticlimax after this. Clinton Heylin is going to be so pissed, but Greil Marcus is going to be so pleased. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I finally bought The Basement Tapes earlier this year, so it's fitting. Wow, so $20 per CD and lets say the book is $30. Seems too much, but the little cover picture doesn't show any detail. Very boring cover in contrast to the 1975 album cover. Weird how they don't capitalize the 'do' in "All You Have to do is Dream".I would think it was a cover of The Everly Bros, but it must have been bootlegged since there seem to be lyrics online and it is an original song.

LouieB Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Which original cover are you talking about? The LP/CD version of them with the carnival and circus folks on the cover? Or a bootleg or what? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HungryHippo Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It arrived yesterday! I've been relatively close to The Tree with Roots for sometime and these official songs are sounding soooo much better! I never imagined these recordings would ever see the light of day.

MattZ Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I know that the vinyl set is 3 LPs and does not include all the tracks from the "Complete" version being released on 6 cds. Does anyone know if the vinyl set will have download codes for the songs on the 3 LPs? Any chance there is a download code for the 6 cd version in the LP set? In other words, what is the best way to get the vinyl and all the songs on the 6 cd version? This is making my head hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I have the 2cd on reserved at the library --- I will give it a listen before I spring for the set. Will be seeing him again this Monday. Looking forward to that - playing a somewhat small theater that I have not been to before (Cadillac Theater in Chicago). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Monday was one of the better Dylan shows that I have seen in a while --- his performance/vocal on Stay with Me was pretty poignant. Stage was dark and shadowy as hell -- but it suited the music great. Stay With Me (Main Theme from the Cardinal) (Dir. by Otto Preminger 1963)Composed by Jerome Moross with lyrics by Carolyn LeighShould my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see,Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me.Like the lamb that in springtime wanders far from the fold,Comes the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold.I grow cold, I grow weary, and I know I have sinned,And I go seeking shelter and I cry in the wind.And though I grope and I blunder and I kneel and I'm wrong,Though the road buckles under where I walk, walk along'Til I find to my wonder every task least to see,Or that I can do it, pray, stay with me.---Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.

NoJ Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I saw his setlist from either Saturday or Sunday's show. I'm a fairly knowledgeable Dylan fan and I didn't know three quarters of the tunes on that list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 From what I have read - his next album is going to be a Frank Sinatra covers album. Which will be the second Dylan album I will not buy. The Christmas album is the other one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 he did "Stay with Me' for encore on Sat nite. Its a Sinatra tune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 He has been playing more recent material (or least the 90's and beyond stuff ). I enjoy the Christmas record --- it's a novelty for sure, but during the holidays it's a fun listen. The 'It Must Be Santa' video still cracks me up every time I watch it.

LouieB Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well that's sad. Looks like Dylan is falling under the category of someone who is totally out of ideas and falling back on standards, unless that is a joke. What Sinatra always had going for him, until the end, was his ability to put across a song. I am not sure what Dylan is doing in this regards. The Christmas album is funny but really not good in any convincing sense. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Dylan definitely sang Stay with Me with much conviction - and I must say emotion - it was a really cool performance. Hopefully, he will be able to convey that on the upcoming record. Can't say I am really excited about the upcoming release, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Anyone heard Dylan doing Things We Said Today from the Macca tribute album? It's atrocious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
