NoJ Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Spent some quality time last Sunday night listening to "Tin Angel" on the Tempest album to find out what the hell happened in that song. Man, that Bobby D can spin a tale! Definitely worth the repeated listens to figure it out. Also, "Roll On John". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Haven't listened to Tempest in a while -- according the below, (a nicely written New Yorker article on Tempest): "the lovers in “Tin Angel” meet their end in a triple murder-suicide".

calvino Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 A great interview with Mavis Staples about her upcoming tour with Dylan. I am not a big fan of the Chicago area venue that they are playing - so I will be skipping the show. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/mavis-staples-on-summer-tour-with-bob-dylan-its-really-an-honor-20160509?page=4 You hear stories he goes right from the tour bus to the dressing room.I'm gonna grab him. I'm not gonna be on the tour for a month and a half and not have any conversation with Bobby. He's gonna talk to me.Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/mavis-staples-on-summer-tour-with-bob-dylan-its-really-an-honor-20160509#ixzz48GRJDPu6Follow us: @rollingstone on Twitter | RollingStone on Facebook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 From a blog a good friend of mine writes. I like his reasoning as to why Bob's been pursuing his covers of standards for the last couple of records. It gives me hope for what's potentially to come. http://www.thevintagerecord.com/Bob_Dylan_Frank_Sinatra.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Been enjoying all the love radio has given Dylan today on his 75th birthday.Now it's night and I'm down a YouTube rabbit hole with Clinton Heylin's book on my knee, and just discovered a gorgeous unfinished tune, "On A Rainy Afternoon", which is apparently on the 18-disc Cutting Edge release. I've replayed it five times in a row, once again blown away by Bob, for the Zimmyenth time.It's fascinating to consider this tune as pre-motorcycle crash, pre-Basement; maybe proof that his sensibilities were heading to a "softer", more melodic path anyway.

calvino Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Finally getting around to listening to the Fallen Angels release (checked it out from the library) -- musically is sounds great. Relying heavily on Herron's steel guitar, which is nice. Again, it standards, so it's not too exciting, but Dylan does sound engaged. Nicely produced, too. Curious to know if the did these sessions live or did Dylan overdub his vocals - I haven't read too much up on these sessions. Also downloaded some 85 sessions and rehearsals recently - nice to see some new 'old' stuff out their in the boot world. Listened to half of each release - it's alright.

Vacant Horizon Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'd love to hear some of that '85 stuff. Have to do a search. The band is so great on the recent records. I also like Dylan trying to sing rather than croak. Song selection is awful. Why do all these classic artist acquiesce to the 'standard covers' BS? I guess it's better that putting out awful original music a la Neil Young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Interesting that they are releasing audience recordings, too. Since I am sucker for live recordings and if the price is reasonable, I will probably get this. So for it is only up in the UK. (info from the Hoffman board) CD 32 -White Plains, NY, February 5, 1966 (Audience tape)CD 33 -Pittsburgh, PA, February 6, 1966 (Audience tape)CD 34 -Hempstead, NY, February 26, 1966 (Audience tape)CD 35 -Melbourne, April 19, 1966 (Audience tape)CD 36 -Stockholm, April 29, 1966 (Audience tape) A monumental 36-disc box set featuring every known recording from the mythic and controversial 1966 tour of the US, UK, Europe and Australia.With the exception of the Manchester concert (May 17, 1966) released as Bob Dylan Live 1966 The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 in 1998, a pair of songs appearing on the 1985 Biograph compilation and a smattering of others, the overwhelming majority of tracks and performances on Bob Dylan: The 1966 Live Recordings are previously unreleased in any format--official or bootlegged--and are being made available now for the very first time.All the songs on The 1966 Live Recordings were written by Bob Dylan (vocal, guitar, piano, harmonica) with the sole exception of "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," a traditional song arranged by Bob Dylan for concert performance. Dylan is accompanied on these recordings by Robbie Robertson (guitar), Rick Danko (bass, backing vocals), Richard Manuel (piano), Garth Hudson (organ) and Mickey Jones (drums). (Sandy Konikoff plays drums on the White Plains and Pittsburgh shows only.)Meticulously researched, curated and restored for this extraordinary collection, Bob Dylan: The 1966 Live Recordings is drawn from three main audio sources: soundboards, CBS Records mobile recordings and audience tapes.

Analogman Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 One of those shows takes place 5 days after I was born. Interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 And one the day before I came in kicking and screaming. Well, maybe as a 4.20 baby II might have been on the mellow side....or wait; is4.19 in Sweden 4.20 in Philly???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Kind of amazing these shows took place 50 years ago. That's half a century, in case you didn't know. Math. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well I ordered the Live 66 box --- $108, not too bad. I haven't bought any Dylan archival releases in a while - thanks to my library system. Don't think the library is going to spring for this, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I find that sort of shady selling AUD shows. I wonder what they were recorded on? A dictation machine? Of course they are not the first to do such things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Plus I wonder if the taper will get some type of compensation or at least get credit on the liner notes. Hoping to read about how Sony/Columbia acquired the tapes, too, in the liner notes. Perhaps a collector sold the masters to them. I am sure the back story is out there already - I just don't know it. Of course, maybe Sony/Columbia just downloaded the audience recordings off of Dime. I don't think I heard an audience recording of any of the 66 shows - the only ones I have are sbd's.

Analogman Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I wonder about all of that also. I suppose there are a number of Dylan obsessives out there that could track down a 50 year old cassette tape. I was reading the comments on a torrent once on Dime a Dozen. It turns out a member of the band in question does indeed grab the shows, messes with them, and then sells the shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A member of Dylan's current band or a member of the Band (Robertson, etc.) - that's kind of messed up. Do they sell the shows through a legitimate record company to the public or as a bootleg?

Analogman Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Oh I meant another band. I just didn't want to say who. Also the Hendrix Estate has been doing this for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
