I think I would classify BotT as an "acoustic" album - at least in terms
of Bob's playing.

Interesting that Bob does the "Froggie" song after Springsteen's
_Human Touch_ album ended with the trad. lullaby "Pony Boy".
Might this be a kinder, gentler "Tweeter".

    The current issue of Rolling Stone #644 dated November 26th, 1992 
has a good write up of the Dylan Tribute.

"When Bob Dylan throws a party, everyone in the music business shows 
up"

Good picture of Bob on stage with the mulitudes.

Hello all,
	
	I was at the Tower records in downtown sacramento this afternoon and
they had GAIBTY at number 22!  Actually at the place I bought it on thursday
the clerk said it was selling very well and that he heard that it's selling
well "all over."  "The Rumour" he said is that it may break into the Billboard
top 20 the first week.  Now I didn't inquire into his source, so I have no idea
of the accuracy of the latter part, but it sure would be nice, no?  He also
said that it "seems to be helping out the rest of the Dylan catalogue.  We sold
copies of Biograph and The Bootleg Tapes this week."  That would be nice too.
Maybe we will actually see the Royal Albert Hall Bootleg Tapes after all!

	I enjoyed the new album on first listen, and it's growing on me with
every repeat.  The damaged voice is a little bit much on "Jim Jones" but even
that one is sounding better as time goes by.  This is exactly oppisite to what
happened to me with UtBRS.  That one sounded good the first time to me but lost
most of it's charm for me on the second listening and has continued to slide.

	"Froggie Went a Courtin'" is great.  It's so nice to see Dylan with
a sense of humour again.  I also like "Sittin' on Top of the World", "Hard
Times", "Step it up and go", "Tomorrow Night", and "You're Gonna Quit Me" 
quite a bit.

	I also came across a copy of Williams "Bob Dylan: Performing Artist -
The Middle Years: 1974-1986."  Has there been dicussion of this book on the net
or did I miss something?  I like the first volume a lot.  Haven't had a chance
to read a lot of this one yet, but the sections I have read have been enjoyable.His preface says "This is the second of two books about Bob Dylan in
performance."  Does this mean he's not righting a third one?  I would like to 
see his insights into "Oh Mercy" myself.  (It's an album I'm still extremely 
fond of.)
	
	Also finally came across a copy of Isis 44.  In the Wicked Messenger
section (2374) Mr. Woodward mention that George Harrison has "apparently
stated that there will 'definately' be another Wilburys album and the working
title is 'Volume 5.'"  Has anyone else heard this?  (I actually even enjoyed
Vol. 3 so I would like it to be true.)

	Finally I'll join the chorus in asking about the Bromberg sessions.
I had read that there was a horn section and a gospel chorus in the sessions
so maybe it's best that I don't know, but still....

Quite a lot! Inbetween "If You See Her" and "Blind Willie" there are a
whole slew of songs like "Seven Days", "Catfish", "Golden Loom" (all
Rolling Thunder era), "Ye Shall Be Changed" (_Slow Train Coming_
outtake), "Need a Woman", "Angelina" (_Shot of Love_ era), plus other
Infidels outtakes like "Someone's Got a Hold of My Heart", "Tell Me",
"Lord Protect My Child", "When the Night Comes Falling", and the _Oh
Mercy_ outtake "Series of Dreams". I'm sure I missed some songs, but
overall you're missing at least an hours worth of great music. In fact,
I'd say that volume 3, the bulk of which is made up of your missing
songs, is the best one of the entire set!

I thought it was Mark Knopfler on acoustic guitar, but it could also be

This turns out to be a fine album. Reminiscent of Bob's old friend's
Martin Carthy's recent 'Skin and Bone'. But first there is the shock
of getting used to the ruined voice. This is quite a shock even in
the time since the recording of 'Oh Mercy'. But there is a great
character about the singing, I find something heroic in it.
The guitar playing and harmonica are exemplary. The song choice quite
excellent. Nice to finish with 'Froggy went a'courting'
but I think my favourite track is 'Hard Times'.
I wonder where he goes from here. It would be sad if he hung up his boots.
But I don't think that is his intention. All he knows is the road and
we know what Robby said about that.

I've only had a few listen throughs myself.  Some early comments here.

Jim Jones - Is it just me, or does this song  sound a LOT like Desolation Row?

Hard Times - The first time I listened to this song, I thought to myself, I
know this song.  But I couldn't figure out who it was that I heard sing it
before.  Well, after a couple of listens, I realized that I remember a female
person singing it.  Not long after that, it hit me. Emmylou Harris did it on
the Live @ The Ryman disc.  A disc I would recommend :-).  It would be real
nice to see a total listing of all artists who also covered, or wrote, these
songs.  Anybody willing to take on that task?

One of the other tunes, reminded me a lot of Been All Around this World.
Probably because of the line "Rifle on my shoulder, Six Shooter in my hand"

Great! All the songs are PD or traditional so there should be no copyright qualms. I'll post "Jim Jones" in a couple of days.

Along with coughing up the lyrics (I could transcribe at least two of
the songs, they're clear enough, and most should be in the public
domain and findable in song books) is anyone interested in finding
original versions of the songs? Or older versions? perhaps if enough
of us have them, we could mail around a cassette and then duplicate
it? I can contribute Blind Blake's "You Gonna Quit Me," The
Mississippi Sheik's "Sitting On Top of the World" (192something) and a
version of "Frankie and Johnny" by Jimmy Yancey. I probably have
others too if I look long enough. How about others?

I cite this because I watched the show again last night, and can't
get over how great the Johnny Winter segment makes me feel.  I say
"makes" because the lines "God told Abraham, 'kill me a son'; Abe
said 'God, you must be putting me on'... and 'It can be easily done'
have been racing through my mind all morning.  And the original is 
also fabulous, with Bloomfield and all screaming along.  I think I
considered this song a relative bust when it came out (for the same
reason that I resisted _Freak Out_ and _Fresh Cream_.  They were all
ahead of their time.

One great thing about this show was that it enabled performers I'm
usually not crazy about to shine.  I'd never go out of my way to hear
Mellencamp, but he was fine (at least on "Rolling Stone").

Now, a question.  I'm sure it's been discussed here, but could someone
tell me about "Foot of Pride"?  Which album is it from?  It sounds
like late-"Christian" period -- with that line about the kiss on
the cheek (Judas?).  But the "ain't no comin' back" refrain certainly
is a twist on Christianity.  If anyone has the lyric handy, I'd like
to see them, and to hear anyone's interpretation.  This was definitely
an inspired selection by Lou Reed.

I was thinking that Bob released this album in order to spotlight his
singing, which as John mentioned, is magnificent -- especially on Hard
Times & Tomorrow Night. Bob should be recognized now as the truly
magnificent singer he is. Without the distractions of new songs, people
should focus on his vocal talents.

traditional means the songs been around forever and they dont really know
who wrote it. There's no copyright on it, but nobody can copyright it as
their own because its been declared tradtional.
public domain means somebody had a copyright on it but it ran out and was
not renewed. if memory serves, I believe that the copyright on a song
runs out after 70 years, but im not exactly sure on that figure.

Just thought I'd pass this on ... the current issue of Entertainment Weekly
features a capsule review of Good As I Been To You.  The album received an A,
and the reviewer commented something about how the album serves as a potent
reminder of how we draw inspiration from a wide variety of cultures in music
and art.  I think that alone is enough to recommend the album to anybody.
Also, Bon Jovi's new album, reviewed alongside the Dylan album, got a D.  Jon

	Bob showed up in Wilkes-Barre, Pa on Nov. 1st and put on a fine set!
He was wearing some kind of buckskin jacket and I think there was a smile or
two and a slight soft shoe during "Peggy-O"(either that or his shorts were too
tight). 

	From all the flames teh band has gotten in this newsgroup, I wasn't
expecting much, but they were really tight! The only complaint I had was when
Bob tried to solo on the acoustic, during band songs, he mangled most of them.
But when he used the Telecaster, he was trading some hot licks! Ans speaking of
solos, they were too long for most of the songs. I think the Dead setup suits 
him well...I thought the lap and steel pedal were good on some songs...
BUT EVERY SINGLE SONG?!? Ugh!

	Set was as follows...(thanks to george rothe for help with titles)

West LA Fadeaway
Peggy-O
All Along the Watchtower
Positively 4th St.
Tangled Up In Blue
She Belongs to Me
Silvio
Mamma You Been on my Mind

I saw the album as a 'second career'...why not dig deep into his 'jukebox'
head and pull out a set of covers from time to time?  I also saw the
revived interest in the guitar as a promise of things to come.  but all of
this doesn't offset my concern that something ain't right.  and I know I'm
being too subjective but there's that one line from 'Little Moses' that catches
my ear everytime I hear it...'when his labors did cease, he departed in peace,
to rest...'  and then you have the insert of the new cd with its 'cloud' motif
(as well as on the cover)...and I keep putting the 2 things together.
