To: SIer formerly known as Joe B. who wrote (581 ) 4/25/2001 4:46:39 PM From: mr.mark Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 2695 thanks for the great heads up, former joe <g3> the paul cantin write-up states..."BEST TRACK: "Grand Coulee Dam": Backed by The Band, Dylan emerged from a long period of artistic exile to perform at a 1968 tribute to Woody Guthrie. Anyone who has made a study of Dylan's "Basement Tapes" will recognize the rollicking high spirits of the performance here. The only regret is that this set doesn't include the other song Dylan and company performed at the show, 'Please, Mrs. Roosevelt'." couple errors in the above.... i have a copy of the 1972 columbia records release. fwiw, it includes highlights from the 1968 carnegie hall concert referenced above, AND from a 1970 hollywood bowl concert. the name of guthrie's song that bob performed is "Dear Mrs. Roosevelt", not Please, Mrs. Roosevelt. paul cantin must have been thinking of dylan's "Please, Mrs. Henry" basement tapes song. cantin also says, "The only regret is that this set doesn't include the other song Dylan and company performed at the show..." bob did a total of three songs on the 1972 columbia release : Grand Coulee Dam, Dear Mrs. Roosevelt and I Ain't Got No Home. no doubt it's a matter of opinion and taste, but i have always been partial to bob's rendition of I Ain't Got No Home. <g3> and too bad that nothing was delivered when the author wrote this..."The three songs recorded last year in England show, too, that while Dylan has eschewed studio recording in recent years, on any given night, he's doing some of his best work -- whether anyone cares to listen or not." what songs? what recording? [edit in: i take back the nothing was delivered comment. upon viewing the link you provided, i saw the track listing and could determine which songs cantin was referring to...Somebody Touched Me, Country Pie and Things Have Changed. sorry paul. <g>] :) mark
