j45nick Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 This one's for Em7, as I know these are two of his favorite singer/songewriters. Somehow, when I used to sit around swapping guitars and songs with people, it was never quite like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurfbird Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 What I never caught until the re-release with subtitles is that Donovan ASKS for Baby Blue. So, while Dylan has a look that kills. He's also fulfilling the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 How good to see that clip again, it's been a while. Oooohhh and countless the times those tunes were played in this camp. Btw. did anyone notice that Bob exchanged empty handed armies for reindeer-armies as the years went on. . . Always puzzled me a bit - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Btw. did anyone notice that Bob exchanged empty handed armies for reindeer-armies as the years went on. . . Always puzzled me a bit - Dylan was forever tinkering with lyrics. Sometimes I think it's because the new words fit the meter of the song better, sometimes he liked the new words better, and sometimes he just forgot the old words....

larryplatz Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Great stuff. I actually saw Dylan smile (now that's rare). As I watched the facial expressions of these two, you could really read a lot into it. Donovan was being touted at the time as Britain's answer to Dylan, which of course didn't set too well with Bob. And it wasn't fair to Donovan who (in spite of the obvious Dylan influence)was a very talented singer/songwriter in his own right. Watching these two while Dylan sang "Baby Blue", I could sense Donovan feeling humbled and a bit insecure with Bob doing his best to make him feel that way. A suitable caption might be "yah kid, you're pretty good but I'm still the master here". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Small bit of trivia, I believe this is a section of the footage that was filmed in the old George Hotel in Glasgow, sadly no longer there, same place that Trainspotting was filmed too... I spent a summer there as a bar chargehand/manager many many moons ago. Pretty much a run-down dive before it finally sold, closed-down and reappeared as a bunch of fancy shops. Billy Connelly used to do a bit of drinking in there to gather some good stories for his live shows, he'd buy the punters drinks for an afternoon/evening and give them a bit of the chat, but the best of their patter would be turned into some of his show the next time he did a a theatre tour. Full of tramps at its worst I once got a police caution for moving a dead body around the side of the bar, some geezer collapsed in the place, an old tramp, but the bar was full, I pulled him round the side to lessen the chaos and got a proper telling off for my efforts. Without a doubt the funniest job I've ever had, those old grouse-beaters were better comedians than most of the pro's you'll see. ...and of course it was next door to bookies but one.

blindboygrunt Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 i'm surprised he wasnt told to shove his drinks up his arse ... funny funny guy at his best , and thats exactly why , all his stuff is just the funny side of life , you'd be mad to think he really did ALL the things he has talked about , but he maintained that persona that it was believable .... hell of a success story that man regardless of what you think , some of his dvd's should be available on prescription , always leaves you with a healthy way of looking at the world after one of his shows ... the story of the crucifixion is a classic , translator necessary if you've never spent time with scottish folk though and he played a j200 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 He'd normally bring a banjo with him and play that... to be fair, he was extremely popular with them, the place was always buzzin' when Connelly came in, he wasn't very starrish either, never acted better than them or remotely precious and certainly not shy about buying all these firm-livered souls a skin-full. I've heard more than a few of the stories from his DVD's in the 10-15 years ago range in their original form. I'd also say he's one of the best comedians that ever lived... Just a naturally funny guy...and decent tipper :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
