Arg. . . wanted to post something last night but didn't want to play all reaper-ish. . . I will probably be watching a lot of The Last Waltz soon. Really wanted to check out a midnight ramble. . . But I am lame. Awesome musician.
The Last Waltz is shown on Palladia a lot for those that don't own it.
May 3 & 4th are the next dates.
I caught it a few weeks ago. It's aging really well.

ummm.. isn't he still alive???


wish him the best... I believe he was just at the Fillmore..


have to say if there is one act I don't get its "the band"... every few years i listen to their stuff (I have it all on LP) and I just don't get them...and I say that as a huge fan of Dylan and his stuff with the Band.

Why do you have their albums if you're not a fan?

What people tend to forget, The Band really only put out two good albums. The rest are pretty shitty.

I'm a record collector.

sometimes you buy stuff and hope it gets you..sometimes the first time it doesn't and then a few years later...

lots of reasons.. the big pink cover is of course a dylan drawing...

maybe i like moondog matinee

the last waltz comes with a really cool book

lots of reasons..

I don't believe I paid more than a dollar for any of them.

Never 'got' The Band.  Respected their influence but didn't care for their music so much.  Then saw Last Waltz at that movie theater in Dupont that's now Benetton about 10 years ago.  Amazing experience.  That film reflected something intangible and transported you to some deeper level where the music and characters involved really revealed their genius.

I got a lot of problems! But not being into the Band is not one of them.. Its just personal preferences.. I'd hate to be a person that liked everything everyone else did or everything critics told me I should like!

Like I said : I got the records and someday I'll give them another spin.

I do love the 5CD  Dylan-Band Bootleg Series
