Okay, cool thanks. :) More than 30 years removed, the three years starting with Infidels to Knock Out Loaded are more blurred, at least initially to me, than they as distinct as they were at the time. I'm so excited to listen to and wade through all of Dylan, but it is not an insignificant body of work to get your arms around.

i like (the terrible) "drifting too far from shore" because i imagine it as written to himself. "they killed him" is close to the worst dylan song. "brownsville girl" obv a historic masterpiece. not christian dylan tho no. around the three albums niels mentions there are (as usual) some amaze outtakes-- "foot of pride" maybe the best source of insane ALL CAPS zingers in the period.

listening to knocked out loaded right nowand i kinda wonder how much better pro forma blues raveups like "you wanna ramble" would sound w/his current band and production style, minus the gated snare and 80s backing vox etc
― Comme Si, Kamasi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 23 October 2015 20:24 (eight years ago) link
you mean without the "Sunglasses at Night" synth at the start of "Driftin' Too Far From Shore"?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 23 October 2015 20:27 (eight years ago) link
i think that his latter day approach would've done wonders for a lot his 80s material ... not quite the same thing, but I'm always surprised by how great Under the Red Sky songs sound in Neverending Tour form.
― tylerw, Friday, 23 October 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link
yeah back when I was still playing in the Dylan fantasy league Never-Ending Pool, he was suprisingly fond of "Cat's in the Well" (especially) and would also pepper in "Handy Dandy"
we ended up quitting because his setlists have really calcified compared to what they were in the mid 00s

ha yeah, it's not a dylan album i actually want to listen to. but yeah aside from a few one offs, it seems like he just picks a setlist for a tour and sticks to it these days. which actually is fine (if less fun for internet trainspotters like you & me) -- the recent shows i've heard have been really solid and together, probably because the band knows those songs cold.
― tylerw, Friday, 23 October 2015 20:57 (eight years ago) link
this is his current set, which is impressively non-greatest hits for the most part.

I guess it must be - was that an entire tour with Petty & Heartbreakers backing Dylan?
― niels, Friday, 25 December 2015 16:46 (eight years ago) link
Not 100% sure, but obviously from that video you can see Petty and some other Heartbreakers, and I just glanced at Behind The Shades and some other books and it seems to be the case. And Stan didn't leave the band until much later.

Also, thanks to all in this thread who convinced me to revisit this so-wrongly-dismissed era.

time is forever just running out … The apocalypticism of the paranoid style runs dangerously near to hopeless pessimism, but usually stops short of it
...
a fear of the end-times quickly becomes indistinguishable from a yearning for them
the various songs yield an exhaustive, Whitmanesque catalog of villains
but enough about 60s dylan
