I like both of those quite a bit. It seems I’ve heard that song done by so many singers. The most memorable for me wax seeing Bob Dylan do it live after he had recorded it for Natural Born Killers. I can’t imagine how they kept him off the H long enough for him to record the studio version, when I saw him live he was so high he butchered it, and everything else that night. Slipped off his stool a few times as well.

A follow up to my last comment, some say that with that voice, Dylan butchers everything he sings anyway 🙂. I made a point to take my stepson to see as many of the more notable “older” to him at least singers and groups as I could when he was a teenager. I knew many were near the end and I wanted him to be able to experience as much of what was passing as possible. He got to see a lot of great music by a number of people who are no more. Anyway, about 20 years later than the experience I described above, I took him to see Dylan live. The performance was almost identically bad for the same reasons. To this day, my stepson says the only one of all of those concerts he was disappointed by was Dylan.

A classic song and video combo.

To this day, my stepson says the only one of all of those concerts he was disappointed by was Dylan. Besides the live performances, I think he's a national treasure. I have the album of his audition tapes made the same night he stepped off the bus in New York and it's eye-opening. As far as his singing,I worked for my brother when I was a teenager. One night we were driving on a major highway somewhere in sticks where there wasn't any radio. We were listening to 8 tracks. My brother reached into the box and pulled out Dylan and put it in, about 45 minutes after the last time we heard it. He yanked it out and threw it out the window, then backed up and made sure to run over it twice. I can listen to the audition all day, but his later stuff gets old fast. The only show I was ever disappointed by was Dianna Ross, who seemed past her prime. Plus, it was just her in the Houston Summit, where the Rockets used to play, and she really didn't fit the space. I was almost disappointed by Jerry Jeff Walker but Willie and Waylon filled in for him. |

I left about 20 minutes in. Because he can’t sustain a breath for more than a few syllables at a time, he’s had to chop up all his songs and turn them all into Tin Pan Alley tunes. They’re all but unrecognizable. |

They’re all but unrecognizable. Just a quick observation on Bob Dylan. I see him as a reluctant performer--and more of a songwriter/poet. He didn't even record some of his own songs (for example "Farewell Angelina" was a big hit for Joan Baez--Dylan didn't record it). I'd much rather hear Patsy Cline sing "Crazy" than the songwriter (Willie Nelson). Anyway--I attach a YouTube video of Sarah Jarosz performing Dylan's "Ring Them Bells" on her octave mandolin. I suppose a lot depends on what you are looking for in music. Enjoy.... |

Jerry Jeff Walker often plays in Tomball at a small venue. Not to bad and not to good.

He doesn't have the wind. |

I never saw the Scorps back in the day, but two years ago while at the west coast pipe show the wife saw that they were playing at an arena in a casino.
One of the best shows I have seen for years, the crowd was really into it. As the crowd departed through the casino, they were pretty amped up.

I will investigate further. So much music, so little time. Though I have to admit that I have spent a disproportionate amount of my life listening to music. I remember my sisters playing The HMS Pinafore on my little red record player when I was 3. Always some kind of music in the house. |

What’s up with that? He was hot then, and he was the only one with experience putting something like this together. Ron McNair was supposed to play sax on it, but he blew up. |
