November 25: Bob Dylan live at Winterland (The Last Watz), San Francisco 1976 (Videos)

Redirecting to a newer version of this post….

… at THE LAST WALTZ, Neil Diamond came off stage and said to Dylan, “You’ll have to be pretty good to follow me”. Dylan came back with: “What do I have to do, go on stage and fall asleep?”
~Ron Wood

Dylan was among those taking part, and though it was far from his best performance, he was sympathetically filmed, as were The Band when they were on stage with him—perhaps especially Levon Helm, in fact, whose keen relish of Dylan’s unpredictability is captured beautifully.
~Michael Gray (The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia)

Jan 3: Bob Dylan & The Band: Hero Blues 1974




bob dylan 1974

Yes, the gal I got
I swear she’s the screaming end
She wants me to be a hero
So she can tell all her friends

This is a real gem!

..Dylan opened the first two shows with the obscure “Hero Blues” from 1963, singing some of the original lyrics (“The gal I got, I swear she’s the screaming end/She wants me to be a hero, So she can tell all her friends) plus some new ones that seem : relevant to his immediate situation “Running down the highway, just as fast as I can go”; and “Don’t you remember, I told you long ago/… just ain’t gonna work around here no more”, and finally something about what “You can write on my tombstone.” Powerful stuff; one wishes he’d felt free to do more improvising.
~Paul Williams (BD performing artist 1974-86)

Photo special: Bob Dylan and The Band Oakland Feb 11 1974 (and audio):

All photos taken by Chris Bradford:
Chris_Bradford_Profile  “I am a high school English teacher, but have also taught French and. Photography. My passion for    many years, besides photography and music, has been baseball. I coached at the same high school for    35  years and have had 4 players play in the Major Leagues. I also coached for 10 summers in the  Alaska  League, a college-level league, 5 summers in Anchorage and 5 in Honolulu, Hawaii. My  photographic  interests these days revolve primarily around travel. My wife and I go somewhere e  every summer, our  favorite destinations being Cuba, Italy, Croatia, Morocco, France and Southeast  Asia, and numerous  other destinations. I am currently in the laborious process of scanning most of my thousands of rock n roll slides and negatives. Feel free to email me if you have questions about artists you may want to see photographs of. [email protected]

A while ago we here at Alldylan got an email from Chris where he told us that he had started digitizing his old slides, among them quite a few Dylan photos never before published. He asked if we would like to publish some of them on Alldylan. We were stunned, what an offer! We wrote back and said that we would be honoured. We will publish several posts with photos from several Dylan’s tours, and after that we will maybe post other artists. Chris has pictures of great historic value and he can be contacted if anyone wants to buy Hi-Res shots for printing.

We have put in some information and audio, just to bring us back in time along with Chris’s photos.

I must say that Chris is not very happy with the technical quality on this first batch of photos, but I think they are of great value to all Dylan fans and of Rock’n Roll history buffs so I asked him to allow us to publish them anyway.

Here are the first pictures, more will follow 🙂

Bob Dylan & The Band: “Basement Tapes Complete” reviews & relevant articles

bob dylan_basementtapes

 In decades of listening to these recordings in varying quality what I’ve always heard is a singer sharing some of his favorite songs in hopes of finding the inspiration to create new ones. The joys and treasures of both can be found on these six discs.
~Peter Stone Brown

It’s out.. and we’re listening. There a lot of music to binge on here.

While listening it’s also fun to read about this wonderful release, and that’s why I put together this post. It’s a collection of links to relevant articles about the “The Basement Tapes Complete”.
