one great thing about the 1974 Dylan/Band shows is that Robertson kind of cuts loose on the Dylan material — he kinda stuck close to the script on The Band stuff during their live shows, but there are some recordings in 74 where he's seriously just winging it and sounding incredible... one of the Tom Thumb Blues from that tour is incredible. I think they could definitely do a big set a la the 75 Rolling Thunder collection that would be killer (and get people to reassess the vibe of that period somewhat).

Thanks, bulb. That explains it. So Gretsch gave you spares as standard! I'm wondering what the business model was? It's hard to imagine archtop players regularly snapping their high strings with wild four-semitone bends.

Had been thinking we should have a poll about which string on our guitar tends to break. For me it’s the D string.

I am still dealing with the ramifications of realizing just last week that it's "Take a load off FANNY" and not "off ANNIE." All these years I thought it was about one person but it's about somebody totally different.

Apparently he knew he was dying and spent his last days just living in acceptance. Final photo in this post where he’s sitting at the table was taken the Sunday before he passed.

I was looking at those photographs thinking, "Wow, his wife has certainly aged well", not realizing it's not the same woman he was married to in the Band documentary. Robbie himself aged very well mind you!

His first wife, Dominique, became a psychotherapist, I believe. She only ever said nice things about him after their divorce and it didn’t just seem like it was “for the sake of the kids.”

No, I misread. They met in Paris, but she is in fact French Canadian.
