He's been like that with a lot of his "best songs ever"...
"Blind Willie McTell", "I'm Not There", etc...
― Mark G, Friday, 18 March 2011 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, i think he only tried "Series of Dreams" out a couple of times onstage. "Blind Willie" has become something of a standard in the past decade or so, though, which is cool. Some great versions.

There was that funny one where he rattled some "dylanish" lyrics in front of Bono, who was amazed/gobsmacked, and when Bob refused to continue, asked if he could use the lines, to which Bob also refused with a cringe...

(Something about listening to the Neville Brothers, if it's googleable)
got it:
"I was listening to the Neville Brothers, it was a quarter of eightI had an appointment with Destiny but I knew she would come late She tricked me, she addicted me, she turned me on my headNow I can’t sleep with these secrets, they leave me cold and alone in my bed"

dylan, always messing with bono. he should write an article for the New Yorker entitled: "Ways I Have Messed With Bono"http://www.atu2blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dylanbonoslane-300x199.jpg

the ultimate battle!are they all that different?
― tylerw, Friday, 18 March 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
It's actually no contest - pretty sure they're exactly the same except for sequence, and the fact that Ring Them Bells is all digitally compressed and 'cleaned up,' ie no fun

i'd dig an official "Sessions" type release of the oh mercy stuff, probably unlikely to happen any time soon. anyone read this? i flipped through it at the store -- had a bunch of stuff about the oh mercy/time out of mind sessionshttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51aE0JiRS0L._SS500_.jpg
― tylerw, Friday, 18 March 2011 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Hmmm...I bet that's pretty great. Let us know if you read it. I'mma put it on my wishlist, cuz god knows I have no shortage of shit to read at the moment.
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Friday, 18 March 2011 18:10 (thirteen years ago) link
oh man, the "Born In Time" on Deeds Of Mercy...
like I don't know if any of you are gonna know what I mean, but that is my feel...

DAVID BOWIE, EMO AND MANY MANY OTHERS, I TRULY UNDERSTOOD THE PROCESS FOR THE FIRST TIME. I BOUGHT SEVERAL OF THE ALBUMS DISCUSSED AND HAVE HAD SO MUCH PLEASURE THAT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YOU.(lol EMO)

Picked up a double lp this weekend called No Direction Home : Additions to the Bootleg Series 1989-2005 (very confusing name). It appears to be some of the stuff from the bonus cd of Tell Tale Signs, as well as some other stuff. Quite a lot of live recordings, including a gorgeous version of Trying To Get To Heaven which I remember being a highlight when I went to see him in Stirling Castle. TO be honest, there's not a huge amount of exciting stuff here, but I just love this period, so am happy to buy it all up.
Has anyone else seen/bought this at all? I'll post up the tracklisting shortly.

bootleg
― reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Sunday, 17 April 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link
So yes, double-checking my original post, that'll be the 3rd cd from the original releases, with 10 extra tracks, 8 of them live tracks, then People Get Ready and Tell Ol Bill (this version of which is absolutely lovely).
― scout, Sunday, 17 April 2011 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link
this is awesome.

I love that after so many stabs at "Mississippi" he finally said, "Hm, if I get rid of this...this Lanois thing, it actually sounds and feels perfect!"
And the photo of Dylan messing with Bono reminded me of Ian MacLagan's account of being in Dylan's band in 1983. Mick Taylor told Ian to make up a list of Dylan songs he wanted to play and present it to Dylan. Mac duly did so, Dylan looked it over in the hotel bar and said, "Hm...yes...ok, we'll do these! Good suggestions!"
From that point forward, at no point in the tour were any of those songs ever played.

it's kind of mind-fogging how there are three mississippi's on here so if you play it all together on repeat he seems to be singing an awful lot about mississippi, or missing mississippi
mississippi am i spelling that right

I wish I'd got the 3-disc version of this. It was just soooo expensive... This is one of my favourite Bootleg Series. And I've been on a Paul Brady trip (again) these past few weeks and would love to own Dylan's version of Mary and The Soldier
