BluesKing777 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Phew! Which guitar would he play? Gibson acoustic? Martin acoustic? Fender electric? Vintage? New? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_djZiswcrQ BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Don't know but probably some 17" archtop. Sorry but I do not like the new LP. Not that I dislike the tunes but I just do not want to hear Dylan singing them. Harry Connick, Jr., yeah. Dr. John, could be interesting. But Dylan?

E-minor7 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Excellent - Thanx for sharing. How good to see Mister Dylan nuanced and in full control over the details here. If this is love you gonna give me more and more and more. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 It was a little strange, but it was just Dylan being Dylan. In some ways, he's gone back to being the enigma he was in the late 1960's. Or maybe he never left there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfbird Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 ^^ That's the Letterman performance you really want to see. Dylan singing Jokerman as a punk tune with the Plugz of Southern California, later known as the Cruzados, back in 1984!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 My, how everyone dances around opinions regarding iconic artists like Dylan who stay at the party too long! He's pretty much sucked as a singer/songwriter for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayyj Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ï've found his albums from Time Out Of Mind onwards to be an interesting body of work - not to the level of his best 60s and 70s albums but I admire that he continues to plough his own furrow, making whatever music inspires him and not pandering to what pays best with audiences and critics. It's certainly ba far cry from the abysmal attempts at contemporary production that dogged much of his 80s work. His voice is shot but he's done a great job in recent years of harnessing what he has left, and the Tom Waits rasp of his recent records suits the songs well. I don't expect another Blood On The Tracks or of him but I respect the choices he's made and the world is more colourful with him in it. He did look a little bewildered on Letterman but he's often looked very out of his comfort zone on TV appearances. I'm not too keen on the covers record but I enjoyed the performance.

I thought the Infidels outtakes (my old boot is called Outfidels) stood with his work of the mid-1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm kinda' thinking Dylan is goofing on us. Like Zappa did but without the musical mastery. I hate listening to Sinatra's singing just as much, but he never wrote 'It's Alright Ma'. Wait...I retract. Just printed out the 'It's Alright Ma' lyrics. 15 verses of horsefeathers. I think I'm in pretentious poetry hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm kinda' thinking Dylan is goofing on us. Like Zappa did but without the musical mastery. I hate listening to Sinatra's singing just as much, but he never wrote 'It's Alright Ma'. Nope. I saw him two weeks ago. He didn't play a guitar, and looked a little uncertain what to do with his hands when singing, and especially during instrumental breaks and solos. He also didn't say a word to the audience the entire evening, either, even when he left the stage at the end of the main set and at the encore! The one exception was a mumbled phrase at the start of a venue-imposed intermission. But since no one understood what he said, some in the audience thought the show was over and left!

E-minor7 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm kinda' thinking Dylan is goofing on us. You could call it that - Dylan has showed us SO many colors of weird (or 'different') over the decades that no one should be surprised. It's a performance under pretty intense circumstances and the vintage singer glides into song-character. A role, , , maybe, but not the kind seen in theaters. This is a senior rock'n'roll act, take it or leave it. My words are few : Mister Bob, , , can I serve the tea. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I really like it after hearing a couple of times now!!! Here is the B&W Film Noir movie for the song: BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarLight Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Dylan is an icon to be admired for his contributions to the world of music. He has earned his keep. There will never be another Dylan. I felt honored to be watching him on Letterman. And thankful that this man existed in my life time. He changed the world as much as the Beatles and Elvis Presely, and Frank Sinatra. Keep playing Bob. We love you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
