With this band, one thinks, Dylan could have set the world on fire again.
~Paul Williams (Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, Vol 2: The Middle Years 1974-1986)
Bob Dylan’s performance @ Letterman in 1984 is legendary… at least among fans & commentators.
Rockefeller Center
New York City, New York
22 March 1984
Late Night with David Letterman
“Don’t Start Me Talking” is a witty comment on the fact that Dylan had agreed to sing on the show, but was refusing to be interviewed. This is followed by “License To Kill” & “Jokerman,” both songs transformed, all freshness and immediacy and fire.
~Paul Williams (Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, Vol 2: The Middle Years 1974-1986)
2, 3 Bob Dylan harmonica.
Notes
…..When it came to the performance itself, Letterman waved No-one else in the world would treat coast-to-coast high-ratings TV that way, and as a sampler of the album it was splendidly misleading. ~Michael Gray (The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia |
