I got most of 'Dont Look Back' with just one temporary squawk during 'To Ramona', I think. My friends in central Bath, BA1, still can't receive digital at all: and the crazed BBC are talking about switching analog off from next year! - - Mike(remembering that the first song he ever performed in a folk club was 'Positively 4th Street' - playing along, not singing...

And his drummer looks like Danny Bonaduce*'s even more damanged little brother and has far too many pieces in his drum kit. [Seriously, one of my co-workers put a picture of Neal Peart sitting at his drums as his wallpaper, and if I hadn't known who it up, I would have sworn it was Danny Bonaduce. And my-co-worker did swear at me when I asked him what the deal was with the Bonaduce pic.] "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." -- Mitch Hedberg . __________________________________ Yahoo!

The two were recently spotted at Boston's Fenway Park, watching a Red Sox game. The WATERLOO SUNSET rockers split in 1997 when relations between the rocker sibblings broke down. Guitarist Dave recently revealed he'd love to reunite, insisting, "I'd love (a reunion). I can't think of anything better. But it's up to Ray." And Ray is prepared to patch up his rift with Dave and record again - if they can make relevant music. He says, "If me and my brother sat down and played together and if we felt that any of the music that came out of that was relevant and had a reason to it, then we'd make another record. I wouldn't do it for a golden oldies tour though." He even suggests their tempestuous relationship helps fuel their creative process: "I think sibling rivalry never goes away. That's the pleasure and the pain of it. I think it's a part of what gives the edge to our music." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 12:52:48 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Gossip On Sep 30, 2005, at 12:06 PM, Eb wrote: > THE KINKS frontman RAY DAVIES has hinted he could be ready to > reconcile > with his former bandmate brother DAVE and reform the band.

Everyone had two numbers except for Robyn, who only had "Not Dark Yet" included in the prog. You were spot on about the interminable version of Tamborine Man, Eb. Half an hour into the proggie all that had happened was that Billy Bragg had performed "When the ship comes in", and Odetta had got through two songs. Oh and K T Tunstall had three numbers, counting Wheels on Fire as well as the two "Blood on the Tracks" tracks. I think her management must have got at BBC4! If I wasn't a Bob Dylan fan already, the selections on this concert wouldn't have persuaded me one iota. Bring back the Byrds, the Band and Manfred Mann! - - Mike Godwin PS Barbara Jungr performed an utterly loathesome interpretation of "Like a rolling stone". ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 16:43:01 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: #233 >> Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 09:00:35 +0100 >> From: "Charlotte Tupman" >> Subject: Talking Bob Dylan Blues tribute concert (RH content) >> >> Robyn's set at the Bob Dylan tribute at the Barbican on Monday night >> consisted of two Dylan songs and one Robyn song: >> >> Visions of Johanna >> Not Dark Yet >> Ole Tarantula Random note: Someone forwarded this post to the rec.music.dylan newsgroup. We have a double agent in our midst. ;) My birthday plans are kinda falling through. I'm feeling really sub- par, both because I have a threatening cold *and* because I blew out my circuitry with a lonnnnnnnnnng run last night, and all the news reports about hazardous, smoky air are kinda discouraging me from heading up to Hollywood as planned. Hrm. Happy birthday, Barbara.

I'm with you there, Mike...didn't see much from this latest round that gave pause. Perhaps there's too much time and distance now from his best work that the context is lost? Like if you asked someone to cover a Dylan song, gave them the words but they had never heard the original. For good but perhaps lesser-known covers, check out Robbie O'Connell's "When the Ship Comes In" from the 30th Anniversary Collection, and Chris Smither's "Desolation Row" with Bonnie Raitt on his 2003 album TRAIN HOME. Have we covered this ground already? Probably. > Eb, should I know who Geddy Lee is? Did he do a famous version of some Dylan song, like Jason and the Scorchers? Touche! On the topic of "music white people make," I got to see Arcade Fire utterly *flatten* a sold-out Riv last Wednesday night. I had been trending towards liking FUNERAL more lately, but wasn't prepared what happened live: the music exploded off the stage, swirling masses of interrelated sound, crunching guitar rhythms, two violins, a French horn, keys, assorted percussion...with ten people on stage all going full-out, it at times resembled the barricade scene from "Les Miserables." Part heavy-duty rawk show and part revival, it was the best thing I've seen in ages.
