There was a bar where I went to school called The Library (yuk yuk, "mom and dad I'm going to the library tonight, don't worry") that had a similar Long Island Iced Tea thing.

From a very geeked-out Double Ees series: most shows w 0 tape; this is an exception.
Pittsburgh is the second and final tape we have of the first mini-run of Bob Dylan’s 1966 tour, before he went to Nashville to work on Blonde on Blonde. It’s by far the better of the two. Still muffled, still not up the level of the soundboards from later shows, but miles better than White Plains yesterday.This recording also features some rare songs fo…Keep Reading With A 7-Day Free Trial:

Late to the party here, but I remember somebody here posting a long time ago about interviewing John Lee Hooker in the '90s and how Hooker offered a sip from the flask he'd been hitting all night. The writer accepted--noting it was the only drink they had that night--and were barely able to drive home.

Listening to the TOOM Bootleg Series and I'm starting to think Lanois fucked up a really great album. Love the spare mixes and a lot of the first versions - some almost sound like Blonde on Blonde a little, little bit.

Red River Shore is such a great song. It sounds like it could be an Appalachian song based on a Childe Ballad (now someone will tell me it is).
The way Mississippi (Version 1) comes fading in I imagine the band was jamming for 15 minutes on that riff before Bob stepped up.

Standing in the Doorway (Version 1) sounds like a minor track off Blonde on Blonde. The Version 1's are mostly the best versions - each subsequent version made the tracks more distinctive, but also slowed a lot of them down and, imo, sapped them of some energy.

I am hearing that the seller there (All Time Fans right?) is extremely unreliable and prob a scam, fwiw

"The two common listings are these Dylan sets and very pricey Dick’s Picks sets. Always like insanely cheap. Never heard of anyone ever getting fulfilled. Some just straight up lost the money. I think this is another in the long line of fake listings. Never known anyone to actually get one of these"
Weird, according to Amazon:
Ships fromAmazon.com
Sold byAmazon.com
Maybe they "price matched" the seller's listing (now gone)? Anyway, I placed an order - since Amazon is the vendor, worst-case scenario is that they cancel the order.
― birdistheword, Sunday, 5 March 2023 00:11 (one year ago) link
my order was straight up through amazon, not a third party. i don't see anything about "all time fans."
― Thus Sang Freud, Sunday, 5 March 2023 00:47 (one year ago) link
FWIW, it's now back up to $90 on Amazon. I guess we'll see if it's a mistake and Amazon cancels those orders, but it's possible they were clearing out overstock too.
― birdistheword, Sunday, 5 March 2023 07:10 (one year ago) link
It was definitely legit - people who placed them with Prime delivery are already receiving their orders.

yes, thanks TSF! a friend I tipped off just texted me a pic of his set. very happy to have it on the way.

Are you sure this is the 5-disc version that's $27? It looks like the 2-disc version.

I see the 5-disc version listed for about $27 but its a "Used - Like New" condition.

Oops - not any more. That was a couple of hours ago. Now the cheapest is over $100.

mine arrived today and is the 5cd version. ha, maybe they did get their signals crossed with the pricing of the two versions. it does look like they are out of stock on the 5cd.

yeah even if they were sitting on a ton of stock that's a drastic discount

also I think in all honesty that version of watching the river flow really would not float as a release by any other artist

“Watching The River Flow” from greatest hits 2 is pretty hard to beat, I agree this suffers a little in comparison but I still dig it. Can't wait to hear the rest of this, I missed out on the stream and don't have the time to chase down bootlegs.

Bob Dylan closed out a three-city run through Japan on Thursday night with his third and final show at Aichi Prefectural Arts Theater in Nagoya. Dylan kept a trend of Grateful Dead tributes started at the previous stop in Tokyo going during his visit to Nagoya, including a double dose of Dead-related music tonight.The 81-year-old musician proved the third time’s a charm at the Nagoya opener on Tuesday, when he finally made it through “Brokedown Palace.” Dylan debuted a seemingly impromptu version of the American Beauty classic in Tokyo last Friday, April 14. Bob appeared to surprise his bandmates with the selection as they slowly began accompanying him before Dylan aborted the cover and moved on to “Melancholy Mood.” A more fleshed out version came two nights later at Tokyo Garden Theater. Yet Bob Dylan transitioned into “Goodbye Jimmy Reed,” leaving “Brokedown Palace” unfinished.Bob Dylan’s first full “Brokedown Palace” came in the 16-slot at Nagoya’s Aichi Prefectural Arts Theater on Tuesday. Dylan and his band — multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron, guitarists Bob Britt and Doug Lancio, drummer Jerry Pentecost and bassist Tony Garnier — nailed the Hunter/Garcia gem.Stream a recording of Dylan’s third attempt at “Brokedown Palace” below thanks to Ray Padgett

The Nagoya run continued on Wednesday when Bob Dylan trotted out Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away” as the 14th song of the 17-tune concert. Dylan previously dusted off “Not Fade Away” in Tokyo on Saturday, April 15 for his first performance of the song originally recorded and released by the Crickets since August 8, 2009. “Not Fade Away” was a staple of the Grateful Dead live repertoire from 1969 through Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995.Bob Dylan started the trend of honoring the Grateful Dead in Japan back on Wednesday, April 12 when he debuted a cover of “Truckin'” during his second of five concerts at the Tokyo Garden Theater. Dylan gave the song a second go tonight towards the end of his tour-closing show in Nagoya. However, he had another GD-related trick up his sleeve. After following “Truckin'” with “Mother Of Muses,” Bob Dylan and his band unveiled their take on “Only A River.”Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir wrote “Only A River” in collaboration with Josh Ritter. Weir released the song on his excellent 2016 solo album, Blue Mountain. “Only A River” has been a staple of Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros performances. Dylan, on baby grand piano for the duration of the run through Japan, followed the debut with “Goodbye Jimmy Reed” and “Every Grain Of Sand” to close Thursday’s concert and the Japanese leg of his Rough And Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour.

On a flight, I read this book by a recording engineer named Mark Howard, who worked on Oh Mercy & TOOM (among many other, non-Dylan records). The Dylan stories in the book are great (and this guy has some frank assessments of what it was like to work for Daniel Lanois, which he did for a long time). Anyway, this bit from the Oh Mercy session reminded me of the “leaves cast their stadows on the stones” thing discussed above:
Dylan had a piano song called “Ring Them Bells” that had a lyric that went “the fighting was strong,” but every time we listened back, it sounded like “the farting was strong.” We laughed every time we heard it and Dylan would ask, “Why you always laughing?”
― Day 1 fan (morrisp), Saturday, 3 June 2023 06:06 (eleven months ago) link
Here’s a Lanois story from TOOM (precipitated by Howard accidentally erasing a few seconds from the beginning of a “Not Dark Yet” take):
“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO, HOWARD?” Dan’s face went red and he spun like the Tasmanian Devil. He grabbed a metal stool and threw it toward me, and it hit the wall behind me, smashing all the dimmers for the lights in the control room. All the lights in the room flashed on and off like photo flashbulbs, and he lunged toward the console and kicked it as hard as he could with his big motorcycle boots, denting the bottom. “You fucker!” he seethed. Dylan was sitting beside me the entire time and leaned toward me and asked quietly, “Does this guy have a mental problem?”
― Day 1 fan (morrisp), Saturday, 3 June 2023 06:38 (eleven months ago) link
Dylan in CHRONICLES writes about Lanois smashing a dobro or something on the floor of the studio, so frustrated was he with the sessions.
Hilarious!
