The Dylan thread...............

[cygnusx1]

I was 12/13 either grade 7 or 8 I cant remember... so it would have been 95/96ish maybe? why?

Just trying to figure out which part of Dylan's vast carrer you saw , MTV Unplugged (1995) must have been the part , just before Time Out Of Mind (1997)

I would love to have seen Dylan when he tored with Slow Train Coming

 

[cygnusx1]

I am a Dylanaholic ....... the best guitar on Dylan albums is on Slow Train Coming and Infidels .

yes , Mark Knopler (Dire Straits) ... I listened to Infidels just the other day , and I have to say it is so much more full because of Mark's presence.

what is your fav Dylan album and track ?




My fav Bob Dylan album is ......... Street Legal ..........that album just cuts me so deep ....... then I listen to Dylan at the Budokan ....... that is so refreshing , it was my first Dylan album , and what a joyous feeling the whole double album creates ......... you need it after the extreme sorrow and crisis of street Legal .......... yet Street Legal is about the agony and delight of Spiritual Conversion also !!!!


Slow Train Coming is quite simply the Most Spiritual album I have ever heard , Infidels is just so melodic and hard hitting ....... also enigmatic.

*I posted a Dylan thread ages ago on CF ...... it's there somewhere , I don't know how far back in secular music , perhaps a year ago.

My fav Dylan Album : Street Legal (yes Blood on the tracks is awesome)

My fav Dylan track : I and I ........ it still has me thinking what is Dylan on about ..... I am about 33 % uncovering it's complex meaning this far ...... Dylan is The I and I ........ he sees himself as a divided man , Dylan the artist , and Robert Zimmerman the man.

*found it!

NO Dylan

Guess who was looking at me from the center of my new clock ?

Bruce Blinking Springsteen ...................................I don't even like BS , I own none of his albums and his music for some strange reason ...........annoys me......

you just gotta see the funny side of it though...............

I'm not a big fan of the Boss. That must have been depressing.

I saw Dylan in New Orleans a few years ago, before I really got into him. I didn't appreciate it as much as I would have now, but it was a great show.

I wouldn't worry about it. His shows lately have been garbage. He didn't even play guitar at the one I went to. Nor did he acknowledge the crowd. He just coughed into his mic and had weird country/heavy metalish reworkings of his classics.

I would love to have seen Dylan when he tored with Slow Train Coming

I did - it was in October of 1978 at Massey Hall in Toronto.

He was greeting with shouts of "Praise the Lord Bob !" or "play 'Lay Lady Lay'" all night long!

I also seen him at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1981 !

Blood on the Tracks is just such an incredible album.

I love Bob Dylan.

I saw him live on November 6, 2004. It was in a small gym in a small school. My jaw was wide open the entire time and in the hours that followed the concert I was still in disbelief that I had been 15 feet away from Bob Dylan.

Aside from the new album, Slow Coming Train is the only album from more recent years that I really enjoy. I think Blonde On Blonde, Blood On the Tracks, Highway 61 Revisted, and the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (in that order, IMO) are his best albums.

I could go on, but I usually get giddy when I talk about Bob Dylan so I should probably stop now while I still have some dignity.

That's a real shame. I want to think that I was in a bad mood when I saw Dylan, but Chase was with me (and he's an even bigger fan than I am). I'm not sure what Zimmerman was up to, but if he tours again, I might give him another chance.

 

[philN]

I was more enamored with the fact that I was seeing him, than his actual performance.

He basically played for 2.5 hours straight only stopping to introduce his back up band and to tell one really, really, cheesy joke. I couldn't understand anything he said basically, but just knowing that I was in the same room as Bob Dylan was enough to make the experience memorable.

I'd pay good money to see you giddy as a schoolgirl.

I'd have to agree.

 

[Moros]

Lyrical genius, but never dug his voice or music.

 

[philN]

I never dug your voice or music.

 

[blackwasp]

I never dug your voice or music.

I have to agree. I never dug Osel's voice or music, but I did dig Dylan's voice, music, and lyrics.

 

[philN]

Yeah, Osel is WAY overrated.

Pshaw.

I saw Dylan in concert this year and saw him do a duet with Wille Nelson. Not the greatest performance, but for the $40 I spent, it was well worth it at the very least to just see him perform at all.
