Just saw the next two shows after the surprises in Nashville and, surprise, there were no surprises. Just some great TIMES with Bob. Only new songs I saw were the ones to be expected, Bob playing and showcasing the songs from Modern Romance (Rollin' and Tumblin', Spirit on the Water, Workingman's Blues #2, Nettie Moore, Thunder on the Mountain, and When the Deal Goes Down). So 60% of the album has now been seen live by me (will hopefully see The Levee's Gonna Break and Ain't Talkin down the road sometime & still no Visions of Johanna, my fav Bob song, despite seeing Bob over 30 times). If you notice (setlist provided below), he played virtually the same setlist both nights outside of a few minor changes (changing Ballad of Hollis Brown for John Brown, Nettie Moore for When the Deal Goes Down, and Masters of War for Like a Rolling Stone). Even Elvis Costello's set was about the same both nights (he made a reference that he thought he was playing in Duluth, Minnesota only to find out later he was playing in Duluth, Georgia)
Still I'm not complaining. The venues were great, my seats were fantastic and could only be classified as great, the band was great, and Bob was, well, great. Yes, I had a great time.

Sunday night, woman...it's a date!
Don't know if the M&M-man will be joining me or if I have to drag my other partner in crime along - but, I'll let you know. Either way, WE WILL get together before the show!
Already have plans for Saturday and Monday is pretty much out of the question because of work, and the week before I'm catching Bruce for 2 nights. I keep this shit up, I'll be in divorce court or out of a job!
See you in a month, darlink!  |

Another fine night by Uncle Bob, this time down at URI's Ryan Center. Elvis Costello opened and was superb! His voice is so powerful, I wonder if he even needs a microphone! A gorgeous "Alison" was his highlight. As for Bob and the band...what else needs be said, may the Never Ending Tour be just that! The highlight for me was 'Hollis Brown'---terrifying, just like it should be....'Watchtower' had some rippin' guitar lines....

Dylan At Newport 1963-65 - The Best Concert Movie Ever?
2007-10-10 17:09:34
I’m not sure what I was expecting from Murray Lerner’s The Other Side Of The Mirror – Bob Dylan At The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965, which I went to see last night at the BFI Southbank last night.
It was going to be fascinating, for sure. That much would have been evident from the clips we’ve seen down the years, most recently in Martin Scorsese’s No Direction Home.
In the event, Lerner’s film, the content of which has been dormant in the vaults for fully 40 years, turns out to be an absolute revelation, one of the best concert movies I’ve ever seen and possibly the best footage of Dylan in performance ever shot.
The film documents Dylan’s three consecutive appearances at the Newport Folk Festival, climaxing with the 1965 electric set that so stunned festival traditionalists, who were appalled by what they saw as Dylan’s betrayal of everything they held most dear and cherished and responded to Bob plugging in with howls of bitter outrage and a lot of loud booing.
Earlier, of course, a lot of these same people were at Dylan’s feet and you can clearly see their adoration on screen as the impossibly young Bob, playing an afternoon workshop, reduces them to admiring awe with a sparklingly playful “All I Really Want To Do” and a grave “With God On Our Side”, on which he’s joined by a fearsomely shrill Joan Baez, unambiguously besotted. By the end of the song, her caterwauling grim beyond words, you’re actually surprised that Dylan’s been able to stop himself from elbowing the hapless woman in the throat to shut her the fuck up.
There’s an absolutely fantastic version from 1963 of “Who Killed Davey Moore?”, whose latent ferocity seems to anticipate the later “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and a dignified “Only A Pawn In Their Game”, both of which are lapped up hungrily by the Newport crowd.
The change a year later in Dylan’s appearance and relationship with the same crowd is dramatic – the bashful shirt-sleeved boy genius of 1964 has already given way to a sharply-dressed nascent hipster, immediately bantering with the audience, a buzzing livewire. Great footage in this section, too, of Johnny Cash, looking totally fucked on a version of “Don’t Think Twice”.
“Who needs him? He’s sold out,” a belligerent young fuck, full of himself in front of the cameras, announces boldly early in the final section, giving voice to the hostility that later greets Dylan when, fronting an electric band, he unleashes “Maggie’s Farm” and “Like A Rolling Stone”, with Mike Bloomfield astonishing on lead guitar.
Filmed in sumptuous black and white, The Other Side Of The Mirror looks spectacular, and the music is of course great. But what makes Lerner’s film so brilliant is its basic simplicity – it’s mostly just Bob and his songs, with occasional conversational asides. Mercifully, Lerner doesn’t feel obliged to drag in a procession of so-called experts to explain the significance of what we’re watching - and by God, what a relief it is not to have to sit through another pontificating parade of talking heads. Lerner lets the music speak for itself, which it does eloquently and unforgettably.
Don’t miss this when it airs as part of an Arena special this coming Sunday on BBC4, starting at 9.00pm. If you miss that, the DVD’s released on October 29.

The 2-CD soundtrack to the new movie "I'm Not There" is also being released on 29th October.
it features versions of 34 Dylan songs covered by others - with the first ever release of DYLAN's original version of the title track, a legendary 'Basement Tapes' outtake which is one of his most sought after unreleased recordings.
(Think thats Cate Blanchett on the album cover, isnt it?)

Hey, Martha! I thought of you last night. Managed to catch Derek Trucks and his band at the tiny 800 people Carling Academy in Islington, London. Amazing place, when I win in the lottery that's where we'll all have the Stones play for us RO friends, just this long rectangle, wooden stage, amazing air conditioning system. It felt like being outside on a nice, cool Spring night,built for the now-gone smoking days I suppose...
Anyway, the man's a fucking genius. And the black singer's voice is awe-inspiring live, probably works on me a bit like motherwort.... You simply don't know where his beautiful voice is coming from, it may as well be Joey's bowels, over in Omahaha....They mostly played stuff from Songlines,some I didn't know, the blues were just divine, the more atonal jazzy songs I didn't much care for. All in all a lovely night... |

Jo......did I tell you? Derek is my CHILD! LOL
I am so happy to hear you hit their show and in such a small venue....AWESOME! Derek makes the sound of pure JOY come out of that SG.
Was Susan Tedeschi with him?
It's so nice to know you thought of me. Thanks for letting me know that. You make me smile.

No, there wasn't a single woman on stage, but they had a very big,jolly, black South African guest singer for just one song, they introduced him as "The voice of SA" and he was called Bussy "Bumwubalemtutulele", or something like that....
And you're welcome, Dahling,however, as soon as the UK government starts taxing my thoughts, I shall have to be more careful about when I think about people I like....  |
