My theory, of course, is that for Gnashville music he would have had to wear tight underpants to go with the stetson.

Many thanks, S_A.
Here's a stunning performance of 'Hurricane' with violinist
Scarlet Rivera in 1975:

Here's Bob in '71 with George playing a different song (if not for you) and Ringo just playing, and Leon maybe playing bass. Quality product!

Was that from the George Harrison Concert for Bangladesh?

Bob Dylan coming on for 80

With Bob heading for his 80th birthday later this month, I thought I might post a few great pieces from the many phases of his Bobness over the next couple of weeks, and of course, hope that others might like to do likewise. Thought I would start with the version of 'North Country Blues' from Newport in '63, which is such a powerful performance, and as relevant today as it was when he wrote it.

An outtake from 'Infidels' but one of Dylan's finest songs:

What's he like, Jr! Such an amazing song and he doesn't put it on the record. Willie's birthday tomorrow, by the way, so he may well be making an appearance.
Here's Bob's 'The Death of Emmett Till' recorded live for the radio in '62 when Bob would have been 21.

New Michael Gray compendium "Outtakes On Bob Dylan" out on May 10. Likely to be worth getting.

Thanks for the pointer, gurney.
As said previously it's Willie McTell's birthday today and here's Bob in Newcastle in 2000 doing his take on McTell's 'Delia'.

This 'Jokerman' video never fails to mesmerise me:

So great, Jr. I mean Bob's always played the joker, and here he is doing just that in an alternative take of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues', the famed bit of film. Bob always reminds me of Charlie Chaplin in these videos - he's got some of the same moves. I just found out the famous bit was recorded in an alleyway behind the Savoy Hotel in London - had always assumed it was filmed in NY. What a trickster!

Joni and Cash (Elvis lookalike?) do Girl of the North Country. Picture quality not great but a combination to savour.

Great to see that again, Jc, with Allen Ginsberg chatting to road manager Bob Neuwirth in the background

Wonder what happened to the cue cards?

I want the one that says 'Whirlpool', JR....or maybe 'Pawking Metaws' actually!
