> Does anyone know why Mick was (temporarily) fired or why the tour never reached the US?
the original plan was for a South American tour. When that idea fell apart, Dylan and Santana decided to do a European tour instead. There was never a plan to tour the US.
The backing band for the whole tour was :
Mick Taylor - lead guitar Ian McLagan - keyboards
Colin Allen - Drums Greg Sutton - bass
Immediately prior to Dylan's first solo acoustic mini-set, the band would play a song on their own with Sutton on vocal. For the first part of the tour, it was "Got My mjo Workin'", later replaced by "I've Got To Use My Imagination"

thanks for the info, Gazza...
the Mojo on night 3 is pretty rippin'. I have night 4, 5, 6 on deck. That Barcelona SBD, and some of the other sources from later in the tour (and already mentioned in this thread) are outta sight! they are the ones that prompted me to undertake this thing. They were also seeded a year or so ago by the same source. I am hoping that that he offers up some alternate sources of the show, rather than reseeding the sbds he already has put up....

Gazza - do you you use PAL DVDs? |
|
Gazza |
I do, yes. but you'll find that most newer DVD's in Europe play all regions (same with VCRs) and the DVD drive on your PC should be multi-region as well.
The Barcelona show is a soundboard? First Ive ever heard of it. AFAIK the circulating recordings are audience, albeit extremely good ones. |

Barcelona sbd, Mac? Don't think so. A very good audience, though... |

might be confused - I was talking off the top of my head. the barcelona aud is great, and the sbds I have heard of that tour are great, too...

PAL / NTSC are different than regions. The former deals with the standard refresh rates of television sets...
anyway, the reason I ask is that, if you want them, I will burn copies of these PAL DVDs I just received for ya before I convert them to NTSC (a new paris 76 and x-pensive wino/rockpalast). |

I think Bob canned MT b/c of MT's drug use at the time. I still say MT's playing on that tour was just beautiful. |

Some of these less-well-known shows look great. (Apparently, there will be videos as well.)
Here's today's STG post:
#11 Bob Dylan & Mick Taylor (former Rolling Stones guitarist)
06-11-84
Stadion Bieberer Berg,
Offenbach, West Germany
DO NOT CONVERT TO .MP3 OR ANY OTHER LOSSY FORMAT
Converted by: Fendert
Conversion: Tape>x?>CDR>Wav>Flac
Quality: Very Good / Audience
This is the 11th show with Bob Dylan and former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor.
This is another very good bordering on great show and in great quality. Parts of it are
fantastic. The crowd is very vocal on this one yelling out for songs such as (this one
amazes me since this song had just been written less than a year before and was never
released until years later) "Blind Willie McTell," "Solid Rock," and even the Rolling
Stones / Mick Taylor classic "Time Waits For No One" (at the end of track 3, disc 2).
Also someone yells out at the end of the first acoustic set "Where is the Band," which is
quite a tribute to them as Dylan was putting on a great solo performance at the time.
Taylor plays a fantastic solo on Greg Suttons "Imagination." The setlist is fairly typical.
"Man of Peace" is included this night (replaces "Simple Twist of Fate") and is really one
of the better versions of it. "Why Do I Have To Choose" is interesting because Taylor
opts NOT to play slide on it (he plays the second solo on it this night). Santana as usual
ruins every song he plays on with his bad tone and solos that do not fit in with the music.
One interesting thing that happened was that "All Along the Watchtower" was played
twice this night. Once in it's usual spot in the show and then as the last song. Also,
Santana's conga players are on the last couple of songs. Right now is the 20th nniversary
of those shows and I thought it would be cool to release each show to STG on the date of
the actual show plus 20 years. So, here is the eleventh show; only 16 more!!! We'll see
if I can keep up with the rest of the tour. No artwork, enjoy

I can't hook up a burner to my computer. Is anyone interested in starting a tree of the lesser-known shows or taking a B&P?
[Edited by jpenn11] |

celtic stone |
Anyone have these Dylan shows and be willing to do a B+P for a copy
13/09/2000
14/09/2000
17/11/2003
Cheers!
[Edited by celtic stone] |

Gazza |
I have the first two. I was at both of those Dublin shows! mail me
Dont have the 17.11.03 Dublin show..still lookin' for that one myself |
|
celtic stone |
Thanks for offering Gazza, but I've found someone to copy these and a few other shows for me.
In relation to the 17/11/2003 show check out a site called "Bobsboots". On the site there is a traders list and plenty of traders there seem to have this show and I'am sure you have plenty to trade, so you should have no problem getting a copy.
Cheers! |

well, I am doing them all...
these kind of opportunities do not come around all that often, so I grab whilst the gettin' is good!!!
I am archiving the sets in lossless on DVD, so if you want to arrange something later, I can hook you up.
great stuff, though.

I hear ya. That's cool. Don't have dvd capabilities. I saved a few in lossless tho. Too much music, too little time, or too small hd. |
