Adam Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I liked this: Top Ten Overlooked Bob Dylan Songs I'd add Every Grain Of Sand & Shooting Star. I'd add Blind Willie McTell. Still only on Bootleg 1-3. Fair to call it overlooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Pomea Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I never saw that photo before, either: from the Blonde on Blonde photo shoot. Scary picture. He didn't look well in that photoshoot. Where was he? Behind the walls of Redwing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmirBagachelles Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 For me it's Tangled Up In Blue, the version on Bootleg Series 1-3. I think it is far superior to what's on BOTT and captures the mood associated with the tale he tells. I always reach for the demo BOTT, but taken together, the two versions of that LP are a cannonball for me. A fine piece long ago in MOJO had the (I think) whole story of the two records, two bands.

papsrus Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Dylan talks about habit, death in '60s interview. His thoughts about pondering taking his own life seem almost as if he wasn't alarmed about them at all, as if part of a daily list of things to do: Get groceries, write lyric, jump out window.

I don't know, man--it's Bob. Not much in his career he hasn't done just for the reaction (I'm a super-fan, and that's still my opinion).

Matthew Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 So I'm watching a Hollywood A Go Go show from 1966, and the host, Sam Riddle is interviewing Cher (I never realized how pervy Sonny Bono looked next to her until this show), and Riddle casually mentions that Dylan has a tv show in England. Really? I checked Dylan's IMBd entry, and nothing is listed for England 1966. Anyone know anything about this supposed English tv show in 1966? I've never heard of it -- which, granted, doesn't mean a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Maybe he's referring to Eat The Document, which did get one airing on NBC in the States. It was filmed on Dylan's 1966 British tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricia Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Those of you who haven't noticed the little gem of a music video included as an extra feature with the DVD of "The Wonder Boys" might want to pick it up just to see Dylan singing "Times Have Changed." There he is. Warts and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Bruce Springsteen talking about "Like a Rolling Stone" at Dylan's Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony: I was in the car with my mother listening to WMCA, and on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind .

DobermanBoston Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Big fan; one of the first artists I started listening to post-children's music. My favorite unsung/underrated/"dark horse" Dylan album is 1978's Street Legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The word is Columbia Records is preparing the ultimate Bob Dylan box set– a collection of all his albums including his bootleg series. The massive box will be a Dylanographer’s delight, collecting every single track including single tracks like “George Jackson” that never made into onto an album. There will also be a couple of CDs with miscellaneous tracks, so that just about everything you ever heard, had, lost, or wanted is all in one place. The price for this super collection is said to be $300–but there’s an upside. I am told that there will be a code so buyers can download the whole thing for free as well.

crisp Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 That's actually not a bad price for that much music. I don't own any Dylan, though, and I'm not sure if I'd take the plunge in that way. I've been monitoring prices on the mono box, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 They've really edited out a lot of the info in that article. I think that this set may not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Dylan and The Band at the Isle of Wight 1969. Looks like it was captured on a video recorder. Interesting to see Dylan's stage mannerisms haven't changed much since then. YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete C Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) For folks with Spotify, here's a playlist I put together of Dylan covers. Among my favorites are Ann Peebles doing "Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You," Marlene Dietrich's "Blowin' in the Wind," Flatt & Scruggs' "Down in the Flood," The Ramones' "My Back Pages," Isaac Hayes' "Lay Lady Lay," Anthony & the Johnsons' "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and Nina Simone's "Ballad of Hollis Brown."
