I think it has proved a little much work to reactivate everything for one one-off broadcast. And fair enough too, it's a massive amount to do for a show we know bugger-all about.

I just want to see if he's going to play Murder Most Foul live. My guess is... no.

i would guess 14 songs, which is normally a 90 min bob set. if it really only is the early songs, i think blood on the tracks and earlier.

think he'll do an encore?


i have to work sun to tues, so i will try to watch it some other way

Hello Gang--- Well, here at the last minutes or hours before the show ...... lets all guess 10 songs and see who may get the most guesses correct.



My TEN are--->>>>> "Watching the River Flow" haha. Things Have Changed If Not For You Murder Most Foul I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine Lay Down Your Weary Tune I Want You Simple Twist of Fate Knockin on Heaven's Door
.
I Shall Be Realeased


Well, good luck its sillly i think i waited too late to start a contest------- BUT NO!!!! You few can make guesses !!! Go for it quick.

Adious anyway, Bob-pals!!!!

1 Things Have Changed

There's a pool thread over at Expecting Rain:

Another song I'd love to hear:

I’ve made up my mind to give myself to you



Sitting on my terrace lost in the stars

Listenin’ to the sounds of the sad guitars

Been thinking it over and I thought it all through

I’ve made up my mind to give myself to you



I saw the first fall of snow

I saw the flowers come and go

I don’t think anyone else ever knew

I made up my mind to give myself to you



I’m giving myself to you, I am

From Salt Lake City to Birmingham

From East L.A. to San Antone

I don’t think I could bear to live my life alone



My eye is like a shooting star

It looks at nothing, neither near or far

No one ever told me, it’s just something I knew

I’ve made up my mind to give myself to you



If I had the wings of a snow white dove

I’d preach the gospel, the gospel of love

A love so real - a love so true

I made up my mind to give myself to you



Take me out traveling, you’re a traveling man

Show me something that I’ll understand

I’m not what I was, things aren’t what they were

I’m going to go far away from home with her



I traveled the long road of despair

I met no other traveler there

A lot of people gone, a lot of people I knew

I’ve made up my mind to give myself to you



My heart’s like a river - a river that sings

It just takes me a while to realize things

I’ll see you at sunrise - I’ll see you at dawn

I’ll lay down beside you, when everyone is gone



From the plains and the prairies - from the mountains to the sea

I hope that the gods go easy with me

I knew you’d say yes - I’m saying it too

I’ve made up my mind to give myself to you

1/ Life Is Hard
2/ In the Summertime

So it turned out to be:

01. When I Paint My Masterpiece
02. Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine
03. Queen Jane Approximately
04. I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
05. Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
06. Tombstone Blues
07. To Be Alone With You
08. What Was It You Wanted?
09. Forever Young
10. Pledging My Time
11. The Wicked Messenger
12. Watching The River Flow
13. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

An odd live/studio hybrid with a lot of overdubbing (maybe by the regular band?) but Bob clearly singing stuff live (though occasionally being out of sync, presumably from different musical takes being used). And only an hour...

But some truly great new arrangements and a whole pile of new lyrics. To Be Alone With You is now effectively a new song and there were a mass of changes in everything.

My favorites, on first listen, were What Was It You Wanted and Forever Young

Masterpiece:
mandolin? Shahzad Ismaily ?
double bass: Janie Cowan
accordion: Alex Burke
guitar?

Band Members: Alex Burke (accordian), Shahzad Ismaily, Janie Cowan (bass), Buck Meek, Joshua Crumbly (bass)

Good view of band in Queen Jane

What is the clavichord like instrument in Forever Young? Dulceola? And which of the musicians playing it?

Yeah, I noticed people applauding in the crowd but no crowd noise, so I figured it was either lypsynched or... overdubbed? I don't really know how these things work.

Anyway, I enjoyed the show... odd setlist but some great material in there.

The thing that really stood out for me is no Tony Garnier! This would be his first time missing a Bob show since, what, 1989? Of course, it's not really a show, whether it was a live performance or a pre-recorded live stream.

If Cowan ends up playing bass with Bob on the next tour, she would be the first woman band member in Dylan's entire career, supposing you don't including those guest spots with the woman from Hot Club of Cowtown.

Watching again, what strikes me most is how much cigarette smoke there is and how many people are smoking. In some scenes literally every member of the audience is smoking and there are countless close-ups of cigarettes and smoking. Even the (not plugged in) guitar playing the close-up solo in Wicked Messenger has a cigarette on the neck. Perhaps that's why the band are wearing masks...
