Hand of Fate Hi,

Just back from the Fleadh, Ronnie also played Stay With Me with The Charlatans. He sounded excellent with both Dylan and The Charlatans, hopefully he can repeat it with The Stones!

Martha How cool!!! I just heard!

I need details!!!!!

Gary were you there?

Any photos??? Please post a shot of Ronnie and Bob if there's one to post floating around somewhere. And a review would be great too!

Ronnie rules!


21st June 2004 11:55 AM
Gazza jesus, Martha , no..after all I posted while the show was on....!!!

I've got 3 Bob shows this week (Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday). Doubt Ronnie will be at any of them, but then again thats not the reason I bought the tickets!

I make that the 9th time Ronnie has guested with Dylan. The only one I saw was Hyde Park'96. I missed about 2-3 others by a couple of shows, including last night! He's avoiding me, I think....

means nothing. Even if the Stones were to record and finish an album next week, they wont release it until a time when they can make the most of it commercially. As they probably wont tour until early 2005, theres no way they'll put an album out several months before that even if they could.

The tour is the main selling point for them these days, not the album.

Pointless getting exasperated over it
21st June 2004 12:11 PM
jb Dylan does not play a lot of his 'hits"....can anybody report on Ronnie's playing?
21st June 2004 12:21 PM
F505 Let Ronnie practise: the more he practises the more the Stones will profit on their next tour. So let him play with anyone. As long as he keeps on playing there is hope...

Shit I wasn't looking at the post time. I was half asleep having my morning coffee when I read an e-mail from TMR telling me about Ronnie w/Bob and I came here immediately. I ain't paying full attention to all the details. Give me a just-got-up-in-the-morning break! LOL

I've got 3 Bob shows this week (Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday). Doubt Ronnie will be at any of them, but then again thats not the reason I bought the tickets!

I am ENVIOUS! It's your turn though. :-)

One of the dates changed venues on you right? How did that go in terms of seating? Or are you in the GA section?

Bob will do something on one of your nights Gary. He's an imp and cannot help himself. Watch closely. :-)

erikjjf He's playing with The Charlatans in that pic. Maybe he wasn't entirely familiar with the song? Hmm?
21st June 2004 02:17 PM

Gazza review from rec.music.dylan


Bob Dylan
Finsbury Park, London – The Fleadh Festival
20 June 2004

by Toby Richards-Carpenter

As expected, this evening's show was dominated by an ageing rocker
with a big nose. Unfortunately though, the party in question didn't
hark from Duluth, Minnesota.

When Bob and his band sauntered on with Ronnie Wood in their midst, I
suppose we should have been prepared for routine festival fare. It was
still a disappointment, though, that we got it. The song selection was
restricted to those which Wood could play along to, which meant blues
numbers on the whole – although Ronnie was clearly seen to mouth ‘I
don't know this one' to Tony Garnier at the start of ‘Tweedle Dee And
Tweedle Dum'. As if it wasn't obvious.

So Ronnie Wood's presence had the double whammy of reducing the
majority of the set to a jamathon, and putting both the band and Bob
off their stride. Loose and wavering versions of ‘Maggie's Farm',
‘Honest With Me', ‘Highway 61 Revisited', ‘Summer Days' and even ‘High
Water' had the audience foot-tapping their cartilage away in the
drizzle, while the guys on stage giggled at Wood's endless succession
of mistakes.

Luckily, though, this was still a Bob Dylan concert, and some magic
was spun from the dross. Not from ‘Desolation Row' or Positively 4th
Street', which were performances that searched but did not find, saw
but did not conquer. But in ‘Lonesome Day Blues' and especially the
fierce, mean and partly re-written ‘Seeing The Real You At Last', Bob
found a purpose in song for the buoyant energy of his stage
companions.

There was more to come, infinitely more in just two songs. ‘Not Dark
Yet' stood stately, dignified and tragic, Bob singing in measured
tones of empathy. It seemed like a warm prayer of hope quite separate
from the surroundings of its creation. As if to emphasise that point,
Ronnie Wood spent the performance gurning, waving his hands in the air
and trying to put Larry Campbell off by grinning in his face. Bob
ignored him, and we had our moment of sanity and tranquility at last.

The precision and beauty of ‘Not Dark Yet', amazingly, was to be
emulated by the penultimate song of the main set, ‘Boots Of Spanish
Leather'. What struck me during this slightly rearranged version was
how profoundly sad the story became. Bob was singing in wilted,
reserved tones that really left no hope of resolution with the woman
he once loved.

It was a mournful, moving performance utterly at odds with the clumsy
bluesy racket of the previous hour and a half. That Bob could mine
such a gem in such a context is testament to his unearthly powers, and
it reminded me why I can never take even a knockabout Dylan concert
lightly. He always takes the trouble to show me a glimpse of the
beyond.

Bob Dylan, then, didn't take his Fleadh festival performance terribly
seriously. This is regrettable from a fan's perspective, but I don't
begrudge him an evening's fun on stage with an old mate, any more than
I feel the Counting Crows fans and good-time revellers in the crowd
deserved better.

The show should be remembered for the calm, reflective performances of
‘Not Dark Yet' and ‘Boots Of Spanish Leather', and perhaps even more
for Bob's determination to find them. But it won't be. It'll be
remembered for the performance of an ageing rocker with a big hooter.
The wrong one.

P.S. I am a big Stones fan!

jb So Ronnie ruined another gig?

Martha "As if to emphasise that point,

I wondered if Ronnie was running about the stage goofin' with everyone like he does with the Stones. Bob evidently did not instruct him to remain stoic at all costs. LOL

Where was Ronnie positioned on stage by the way?

More details.

Please. :-)
22nd June 2004 10:38 AM
Gazza Actually, on this occasion, I dont think Ronnie is the problem, Josh.

Dylan obviously wanted him to play onstage with him and so was prepared to let him sit in with him for a whole show playing songs he'd barely rehearsed or simply didnt know. Too bad for the thousands of people who came to see Bob, sat through a whole day of opening acts and who saw a show where they basically were winging it because Bob wanted to indulge himself with his pal. You dont do things like that in front of about 30,000 people.

Woody is the Stones' guitarist, not Dylan's. He cant be expected to know the licks of every song Dylan chooses to play. Dylan has a very tight and cracking band as it is. Guests are all well and good for a few numbers but not for the whole show when they havent rehearsed the songs.

On this occasion, the buck stops with Bob IMO
22nd June 2004 10:42 AM
jb I agree Gazza...but surely a more versatile player than Ronnie would have been able to blend in despite his being unfamiliar with the material...I mean, at times, Ron seems unfamiliar with Stones material!
22nd June 2004 10:49 AM
Gazza well...true to a point

If he ballses up Stones songs, he deserves a kick up the arse.

But at a show by another artist, the onus is on THAT artist if he's bringing on a guest to make sure he's familiar with the material and has rehearsed it. If he's coming on for two or three songs as is often the case, thats easy enough for him, but to expect someone to wing his way through 16 songs - different matter.

If I was going to see Bob, I'd be pissed if he or his band didnt know the songs because I'd expect them to be competent as they would have rehearsed them.

Ronnie obviously has some balls to get up in front of thousands of people and play songs hes not familiar with.

but again, this is one guy's opinion. handoffate seemed to think Ronnie played well. Maybe to a different pair of ears, he was able to get away with it
[Edited by Gazza]
22nd June 2004 11:52 AM
jb On a positive note, atleast Ronnie is trying to stay clean and occupy his time playing music....hopefully this will carry over to the tour.
