The idea that this contains every performance but Zep's is utter nonsense. Just looking at the set list, theres definitely about 2-3 songs by both the Beach Boys and Neil Young which have been left off plus two by Dylan and The Who. I'm also pretty sure Bryan Adams played more than two songs as well. And I'm sure there's quite a few more from other acts which have been omitted. Mercifully in some cases.

Yeah, I knew that Dylan played more than one song.
Does anyone know the complete setlist he played with Keith and Ronnie? |

If my memory serves me right, Dylan's set (with our boys) was "Ballad of Hollis Brown", "When The Ship Comes In", and "Blowin' The Wind". A horrible performance, they made themselves look old-fashionable, pathetic, unmusical, stupid, ugly drunken men. But I like it

Somewhere (way back) I posted an article on the woman who assembled the DVD. She said that a lot of the American stuff was missing because the tapes were destroyed as promised, and it's only the parts that were shown in Britain that have survived. I think there was mention also of some other performances that didn't make it but I can't remember it all now.

jesus, they could have used my copy..I have the whole thing on video!
Doxa got the Dylan/Keith/Woody tracklisting correct.
Crappy performance but not really helped by the three of them not being able to hear themselves in the monitors because while they played the stage was being set up on the other side of the curtain behind them for the big finale. That plus Keith & Ronnie being out of it and breaking strings!!
The one great thing that did come out of that fiasco was the fact that Dylan's request that some of the money raised be diverted to help bankrupt American farmers (which at the time was rightly condemned as being isolationist and poorly-timed) was the direct inspiration for the annual "Farm Aid" benefits, the first of which took place 2 months later (in Steel Driving Hammer's hometown, no less!) and which are still going to this day (the most recent was last week, I think)
Oh, and Bob's performance at that Farm Aid show was as breathtakingly brilliant as the one at Live Aid was toe-curlingly bad... |

With the aid of youth...
...and drugs, i stayed up and watched the whole thing. The Aussie bit was crap as crap can be. I think the Who did Pinball Wizard too. I remember during the "scream" of WGFA, Towneshend fell over. Funny as hell.
Jagger was ok. But the Hall and Oates band was shameful. Keith & Woody were just tragic.
In fact, the fact the stones couldnt solve their ego hassles to get together and do this (and no doubt headline and blow every one else out of the water) is the most shameful thing of all.
But, bloody hell. A bit late innit? Sir Bob should have had this thing out, oh i dunno, like 20 freaking years ago!!!
I think i will give it a miss. |

call me mad...but i think keith and ronnies performance with bob was one of the greatest performances by anyone in the '80's...it was diabolical but that's why i liked it so much
and as gazza has ponted out it wasn't really their fault...they couldn't hear themselves
although i've read that bob - in his usual style - added unrehearsed material to the final list (BOHB in particular) minutes before they were due to go on stage
apprarently keith, ronnie and bob's rehearsals were really good - and i can't see why they wouldn't have been...now those i would love to hear |

Gazza, about Farm Aid: didn't this allready start in the mid-70's? As far as I know both Aerosmith and ZZ Top have released performances they did on Farm Aid in '76 ot '77. Or is this something else?
Glad they omiited Zep...that was plain horrible. No voice, guitarist very much under influence, not rehearsed properly.

About the final sing-a-long "We Are the World", where almost everybody is on the stage, Mick having fun with Tina somewhere behind etc, I love the moment when Keith sits on the monitor with his back on the audience and a towell on his shoulders. Then Bob comes gives him some mark and all of them - Bob, Keith and Ronnie - walk away from the stage, through all the people there.
Like I said above, their performance was awful - and surely mostly due to the causes mentioned by Gazza and Stonedinaustralia plus that they surely were "under the influence" in Mathijs's terms - BUT there was something very cool in their whole performance that I liked it. That kind of attitude of "fuck it if we mess - ain't here about a little too much hypocrisy in the air". It was so "dylanish" to talk about in that situation about "what about if we keep some of the money here, maybe few millions, to help the farmers.." Who else could have nerves to say something like in that in that very occasion, when the whole pop world has a heart full of helping Africa? Not to blame the good meaning of Live Aid and Sir Bob but I always felt that there is something doubting in this whole thing when all these millionares were giving ONE day of their precious life to help to gather the pennies and cents of North to help poor people starving somewhere in South. And these "big-hearted" stars were treated like heroes.. no matter how much it happened to help to bright their image and promote their music for a BIGGEST audience ever. What goes for the post-Live Aid record sales, Queen, U2 and that bloody Phil Collins were told to be the winners of the show.
Summa summarum, to my young and a bit rebellious mind the anti-climax of Bob, Keef and Ronnie was outstanding in its way.. they were.. in that super moment of 80's fantasy world something.. real?

I guess that was somethin' else, Mathijs (maybe it was '86 and '87 perhaps). The first Farm Aid show took place in Champaign, Illinois in September 1985. I think Willie Nelson was instrumental in organising it, and the idea for it came more or less from Dylan's comments at Live Aid.
From www.farmaid.org
The Beginning... September 22, 1985 Champaign, Illinois
FARM AID started as an idea at the Live Aid Concert when Bob Dylan said on stage, "Wouldn't it be great if we did something for our own farmers right here in America?" Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $7 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.

bonkers I think would be more appropriate!

although i've read that bob - in his usual style - added unrehearsed material to the final list (BOHB in particular) minutes before they were due to go on stage
Even worse - according to an interview with Woody in a Dylan fanzine a few years ago - Bob actually suggested another song that they hadnt even rehearsed (the title of which escapes me at the minute) while they were going up the RAMP onto the stage in front of 90,000 people and a worldwide Tv audience of two billion!
>apprarently keith, ronnie and bob's rehearsals were really good - and i can't see why they wouldn't have been...now those i would love to hear
I have them. I wouldnt go as far as to describe them as "really good" - there's two separate sessions of them jamming on acoustic guitars in Woody's apartment a day or two before the show - but they're interesting enough in a "fly on the wall" kind of way. If you want a CD of them, e-mail me

Just to add to the post I made a bit earlier about the Live Aid rehearsals, Woody said in that Dylan fanzine interview "we played everything in Bob's catalogue and everything in the Stones catalogue in those two days" and when asked did he record it all replied "yeah. I'd love to know where a lot of those tapes are. I gave a lot of them to Keith and some to Bob" (he said Bob started to worry 'cos he was recording them all the time)
Dylan was remarking on the way to the stadium "I wonder what Bill Graham wants me to do.. Bill might make me do this.." etc while Keith & Woody were telling him to play what HE wanted. (Before contacting Woody two days before the show, Bill Graham had got a band together for Bob and, as he told Woody "I have to go along with it"). When they were going up the ramp to the stage, "Bob turned and said "Maybe we should do 'All I Really Want To Do"..and we were going "aaargh! Oh my God!".
When they started breaking strings it turned out that the other guitars had been packed away by the trusty roadie, so Woody gave him HIS! |
