Everything else > was overdubbed and redone. Levon was basically gone, because he was disgusted with certain of the business > practices. Robbie asked him to do his part over again, but Levon had nothing to do with it. > Robbie was right in that there were some good reasons for overdubbing the whole thing. Richard wasn't singing > well, Rick's bass was out of tune, and Robbie wanted to improve his guitar solos. Also, the horns were recorded > completely out of balance and had to be redone in New York with arrangements Henry Glove and I put together. - - - - - Randy, There's a comprehensive discussion of the various editions of THE LAST WALTZ that have been released over the years. Check it out LP, CD and DVD Versions of the Last Waltz - - - - - Randy Remote also asked > Does this mean that Joni also redubbed her vocals/guitar post-concert? > RR There No reason to think she did. It would be out of character. I not in a position to state whether or not Robbie Robertson or other members of The Band overdubbed their parts accompanying Joni. It IS clear that some of Joni's 'guitar tuning' has been removed from the beginning of 'Coyote' and the time between songs has been shortened. You might want to listen and decide for yourself. I have a copy of the recording used by the folks who released "THE COMPLETE LAST WALTZ" BootLeg. As you know, Joni performed 'Coyote', 'Shadows And Light' and also 'Furry Sings The Blues" I just UpLoaded all -3- Songs via YouSendIt. You can access the recording @ andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/ ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1394 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
