So "backstreet girl" is one of my favorite Stones songs even though it's never really played in concert. But anyway the rumor going around is that Dylan has covered "backstreet girl" during the recordings for his new album. Not sure if it will make the album, but i sure hope so. |

I think "Jigsaw Puzzle" or "Who's Been Sleeping Here" would be more interesting of a song for him to cover. |

New Bob album, when? |
|
|
| Gazza |
probably by mid-summer I would think
He was recording it in New York last month, and they rehearsed some of the songs in a theatre in Poughkeepsie, NY in late January
Certainly havent read anything anywhere about possible song titles, though |

Well, can't wait to hear the new album. |

Sales prediction? |

|
| stoned_in_dc |
if past history is any indication album will come out in september (love and theft came out on september 11 by the way)...
sales prediction.....
US sales 1 million within 1 year
1.5 million within 3
(yes i'm pulling those out of my b___t)
if dylan was covering backstreet girl on a record (something i don't think he would do) no one would know until it came out.. dylan's group are airtight on these things..not sure how they are so effective at keeping a lid on things... |

Sept. 11th but what year? |

We're big boys and girls here. You can use ALL the letters in "butt".
If there's a song called "Backstreet Girl" on the new album, I'm betting it's a new Dylan song by the same name as the Stones song -- which is one of my all-time favorites, by the way. Great accordion by Brian.
Who knows, though - I woulda bet money against Dylan ever covering "Brown Sugar" too. |

Yes. Flea's right on this point. We can handle the word "butt". We can even handle "ass". But shit,fuck,cocksucker,and asshole are right out!
I am hoping that Bob's next album is even half as good as his last two. If it is then we are in for another treat! We will then be arguing about why the Stones can not put out an album that good.

oh.. i love dylan... i've seen him live 13 times...
ok..i was pulling that shit out of my butt..as far as sales..but i think they are plausible numbers..
love and theft was released on september 11, 2001...
its one thing to cover a song live as bob did with brown sugar (i saw that..great stuff.)... but its another to do it on an album..
we shall see.. i'm betting against it..

I really disliked Dylans live show last year, Willie Nelson blew him out of the water. Dylan is no longer a top level performer in my eyes. |

| stoned_in_dc |
even if he is no longer at the top of his live game- which may well be the case- boy did he have a great run! from 1996-2001 he was phenomenal!...i would take friends of mine that had been disillusioned with his early 90s shows and they just could not believe how good he was....one girl i remember started crying during don't think twice in boston...
i'm going to go see him next time he comes through dc.. word is he's going to tour this summer with the black crowes..could be just someone talking about of their ass...
he turns 65 may 24 by the way...

I've always been a huge dylan fan and have seen him a bit over the years and he just seems lifeless these days. I agree up until 2001 everything he did was gold (besides late 80s), but the switch over to the piano marked his end in my book. That's when the voice went cartoonish and all he does now is basically gasp for air during songs. Love and Theft was amazing though. Sadly it may well be his last gem because since then he's really gotten bad.
It would be interesting for him to cover "backstreet girl" though.....he'd probably hate money from going to mick though. he doesn't seem to get along well with mick even though he seems to love Keith and Ron. |

I have always been of the mind Bob is either hit or miss. I have seen him about a dozen times,and he's either been great or shit. Not much in the way grey area with him. I will say that the last two times I saw him he was on top of his game,and they were two of the best shows that I have ever seen.

It was not a great tour (summer tour), his voice + his band.
But European shows were far better. |

He needs a rock band and to start playing guitar again.
At least he's still touring constantly and for affordable prices.
There's only 1 Bob |

Perhaps he can call up Tom and Jeff, get a couple new guys, and do a Wilburys kind of album again. I enjoyed the other two albums. |

I saw Bob in 2003 and he was still at the guitar then. There were some moments of "wha?" but it was still a fantastic show. He lost some real great band members since, went to keyboards and now seems to have lost that spark. Let's hope his next album doesn't reflect that. Love & Theft is a tough one to live up to. |

Had to have been earlier than that.
Save for a handful of songs, Bob's been playing keys since Spring Tour 03. |

Oh you're right. Silly me, I was thinking it was September 2003. I saw him in Sept. 2002 in Calgary... and he rocked solid for about 3 hours. Larry Campbell and Charlie Sexton were awesome. Songs I can recall them doing: "Somebody Touched Me" (opener), "Rainy Day Women, etc," "Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum," "Things Have Changed," "I Want You," "Stuck Inside of Mobile," "Honest with Me," "Lonesome Day Blues," "Visions of Johana," "Highway 61 Revisited," "Tangled up in Blue," and an encore of "Like a Rolling Stone," "Knockin on Heaven's Door" and "All Along the Watchtower." Some others too, but they escape me right now. |

Yeah, that version of the band was amazing. Besides being great guitarists, Larry and Charlie could sing fantastic backups too.
Cool choice of a Roy Acuff cover too!
