bass player is consistently entertaining

also it's not a grand, it's 174 bones pre-ordered from his website and you get another double-cd of a san diego show

let me tell you about the last time I had $175 lying around

if I can remember back that far

I assume it was before my kids were born

Hey all ilx #prayerwarriors pls remember mark g in your prayers tonight

I'm super excited for this, Tyler what's the band lineup? I remember it being sick

yeah, it's full of ringers -- tim drummond, jim keltner, spooner oldham, fred tackett

Drummond's allmusic.com credits are off the chain

I don’t know who Fred Tackett is but I am instantly in love with his name.

I remember him from some Tom Waits records.

He was (is?) in Little Feat.

prayers goin up for Mark G but what is goin on w/him?

I'm OK..

I have the albums of the period, just don't need the delve whereas I always loved 'SelfPo' and dug the dig.

It'd be good if this came with a free CD player

get your prosperity gospel out of this thread osteen

ha I'm actually reading this rn

There’s a freedom when you can come to your dick honestly and openly, knowing that He doesn’t judge you.

Don't miss Heylin's tips at the end.

(Although personally I think he's bein' mean to the original Empire Burlesque.)

He even does 'Rainbow Connection.'

this shit bangs

But does it fucking slap?

you want to fucking slap? you can slap. you can go and see KISS and you can fucking slap all the way down to the pit

Gotta Slap Somebody

"uncalled for slap" as E-40 would say

"Covenant Woman Take 3" is amazing...this band is sooo gooood

yea this is great

ums otm re covenant woman

great tune btw, album version is prob better a little imo but this is excellent

yonder comes sin is really something too

you guys streaming the sampler or the full thing?

indeed a very rocking band, not the Dylan style I prefer but it's very enjoyable and def bangs

Love "Shot of Love" and its over-the-top indignation, he really gets into it on these songs

just a lil thing, and i didn't want to revive the pitchfork is dumb thread because it's probably just a typo, but from the first paragraph of their review today:

In the autumn of 1978, Bob Dylan began performing a new version of “Tangled Up in Blue.” In addition to a complete melodic makeover, he updated a lyric that had previously referenced an unnamed Italian poet to address a more specific source text: “She opened up the Bible and started quoting it to me/Jeremiah, Chapter 13, verses 21 and 33.” Debuted during the tour behind his directionless Street Legal LP, his new arrangement of the beloved track offered a glimpse at Dylan’s next reinvention: You can hear a white light starting to seep in.

Jeremiah 13 only has 27 verses, so what's verse 33? something dylan made up, or something else?

great exchange on Expecting Rain:

I think the first Bible mentuion in TUIB was two days later -- on November 26, 1978 -- in Houston:
"She opened up the Bible, and started quoting it to me/The Gospel according to Matthew, Verse 3, Chapter 33."
(Matthew 33 does not exist)

There is a list somewhere of the different scriptures he sang.

Thanks so much redsock, that's what this board is all about! :D

http://expectingrain.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?p=1528423&sid=10ade3f07ee9b6d0a8f87dc2e335e02a

I guess it's from "Olof's files"

On another note, I never found any of Dylan's live lyrical revisions very good

Thanks so much redsock niels, that's what this board is all about! :D

and yeah, lots of good stuff on that thread. i didn't know about the Fan throwing a cross on the stage incident!

lol a lot of this esp the Slow Train Coming that kicks off the sampler sounds so sleazy for Jesus music

xp the cross throwing incident is def interesting, something very intriguing about bob's vague but dramatic framing

the p4k review is good! this is particularly otm imo:

For the most part, the songs on Trouble No More do not reflect the hope or contentment usually associated with praise music. They are as venomous and full of doom as Dylan’s more celebrated writing on war, politics, or love. Neither as warm and embracing as Cat Stevens’ nor as spiritually wise as Leonard Cohen’s, Dylan’s religious work seems to come from a place of fear—borderline paranoia.
...
Dylan’s voice sounds beautiful, fanatical, and somewhat insane, which is exactly how this material should be delivered.

I can't help but find a lot of this material funny, even if it is very sincere, there's something ridiculous about it. Like listening to a very eloquent but clearly paranoid preacher. Never noticed the lines from Precious Angel highlighted in the review:

Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high
When men will beg God to kill them and they won’t be able to die?

And this is from a song that really sounds like a 70s fm soft rock love song!

Look forward to hearing the entire set.

I can write and steal from people as well as anybody.
Know all the devices, paid a lot of prices,
I can influence people as well as anybody.
Go right up to 'em, I know how to do 'em.
Don't need to depend on tricks or on cards.
I can see through man's delusions, I can see through his facades.

wrt paranoia, is there info about Dylan's drug use during the period, cuz I get a real Cocaine Thoughts vibe from some of this
