This duo will be playing at the Bumbleshoot Festival here in Seattle but I'm probably going to pass with such a large crowd. Here is a Rolling Stone article about the tour: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/17386/189908 By Jesse Stanek and Jeff Vrabel Aug 09, 2010 3:08 PM EDT Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp kicked off their summer tour in Lincoln, Nebraska, yesterday, delivering two sets of spirited Americana nicely suited to Haymarket Park and its Midwestern surroundings. Mellencamp last played the venue as part of a Farm Aid benefit "100 years ago," he joked to the crowd. (The concert, for the record, was actually in 1987.) While his set favored crowd favorites and enduring deep cuts like "Pink Houses" and "Paper In Fire," Mellencamp also brought the crowd into the here-and-now, unveiling songs from his new T Bone Burnett-produced disc No Better Than This. One, "Save Some Time to Dream," was a gorgeously spare, Neil Young-ish country tune featuring tight rhythmic backup from his six-piece and. Meanwhile, Mellencamp reinvigorated classic tunes like "Cherry Bomb," which he freshened with an off-the-cuff a capella arrangement. Dylan, sporting his trademark black suit and white cowboy hat, had nothing new to play. But he delivered an energetic set of classics, some with striking new arrangements. Soaring pedal steel guitar lent "Lay Lady Lay" a newfound vulnerability, "Just Like a Woman," became soft and reflective, and "Cold Irons Bound" sounded bold and jammy. The latter two showcased Dylan's inimitable balance of the meditative and aggressive. Dylan and Mellencamp's tour wraps in September, but Mellencamp will continue on this fall with sixteen Midwestern dates in support of No Better Than This. Unlike his immaculately produced '80s albums, Mellencamp wrote this record quickly, on acoustic guitar, and recorded it in mono on a 55-year-old Ampex tape recorder. "I looked at T Bone and I said, 'What the fuck were we doing in the '80s?'" Mellencamp told RS. "I made a record once that took almost a year. I spent millions of dollars dicking around with songs, and in the long run it paid off because it sold millions of copies. But I go back and I listen to the record today, and it was...more of a craftsman thing." No Better is Mellencamp's latest rootsy record in a series that began with 2003's blues and folk covers disc Trouble No More.To get the proper vibe, Mellencamp and Burnett cut the new disc in the legendary Sun Studios, San Antonio; Texas' Gunter Hotel (where Robert Johnson recorded tracks like "Terraplane Blues"); and the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia. The latter location - the oldest black church in America and a one-time stop on the Underground Railroad - struck a spiritual chord with Mellencamp and his wife Elaine, who decided to be baptized under the altar where Mellencamp had been recording. The album may be stripped down, but Mellencamp plans an ambitious fall tour. There will be three different sections: a 30-minute "Sun Studio" set, a 30-minute acoustic set, and an hour of plugged-in tunes. And each show will start with a screening of Kurt Markus' It's About You, which chronicles the making of the record. "On those early tours [in the '50s], you went to see Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, and the show started with a movie called The Girl Can't Help It," said Mellencamp, explaining his inspiration for showing the documentary. "It's not an original idea, but it's an idea that hasn't been done in decades." The setlist for Mellencamp and Dylan's show are below. John Mellencamp's Setlist Pink Houses Paper in Fire No Better Than This Check It Out Save Some Time to Dream Cherry Bomb (Acapella) Don't Need This Body Small Town Home on the Range Rain on the Scarecrow The West End Troubled Land If I Die Sudden Crumblin' Down Authority Song Bob Dylan's setlist Watching The River Flow Lay Lady Lay Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll Go Mine) Stuck Inside of Mobile with The Memphis Blues Again Rollin' and Tumblin' Just Like A Woman Cold Irons Bound Workingman Blues #2 Highway 61 Revisited Tryin' to get to Heaven Thunder on The Mountain Ballad of a Thin Man Like A Rolling Stone All Along The Watchtower Actions speak for themselves - echoing into eternity ~ me ~ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:00:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: [PazFestII] Re: The latest from Pazfest Central njc It's true. It is just money. We shouldn't give a crap. My daughter is a princess and she seems to think I've got a fortune stashed away somewhere. Funny, my ex thinks the same thing. My daughter enjoys rom coms and all that girly stuff. Gag! She's going to want the big wedding when/if she meets someone she deems worthy of her. I'm making plans now to move way out of town, with no forwarding address. Paz, I don't think I could sell my kids at this point. They'll probably sell me off for organs. Cheap because they're used and old. ________________________________ From: Susan Tierney McNamara To: "PazFestII@yahoogroups.com" ; Catherine McKay Cc: Richard Flynn ; joni List Sent: Wed, August 11, 2010 9:08:16 AM Subject: RE: [PazFestII] Re: The latest from Pazfest Central njc My daughter is getting married Oct 2011, with the whole shebang ... ch-ching!!!

I've always thought Joni never needed anyone else but herself accompanying her, especially the piano. I thought her orchestral phase, including the tour, was a lost opportunity. Oh to have been able to see her alone at the piano onstage doing all her own career long compositions once more. Last chance, lost....

I do like that song for so many reasons and the piano version is just so cool, because it kind of deconstructs all that synth stuff and you get to hear the piano. You're talking about the Rock Master class one, n'est-ce pas? I enjoy that pause, but also her voice, which takes on a snarky tone on that particular phrase, both on the DED album version and on this piano-only version. I enjoy the sarcasm. Since you mentioned it, and since I already had I-tunes open, I gave both versions a listen. I also noticed that the picture that came up on the master class version was a beautiful photo, and I have no idea where it came from. Most likely I downloaded it whenever and wherever I got this recording from. I've attached it and Jim should get it, but jmdl won't because Smoe don't like attachments. If anyone would like it, email me privately and I'll forward it. And speaking of DED and piano bits, the demo version of "Good friends" is great too as another deconstructed version and gives a great idea of how Joni tinkles them ivories. If I were less lazy and/or my piano-playing skills were better, I'd want to play this one. I suppose I could do it if I tried. Oh, the trials of the underachiever. ________________________________ From: Jim L'Hommedieu To: Catherine McKay ; joni@smoe.org Sent: Wed, August 11, 2010 9:36:59 PM Subject: Joni playing piano Today I played a live track of Joni doing "Dog Eat Dog" without a band, on piano.

Sorry for sending this to all but I don't have email addresses for all who were there; and had to keep this jc in case anyone who was there is Joni-only.
