  • 1974 Tour with the Band
    BOB DYLAN / THE BAND (a collectors guide to the 74 Tour) BOB DYLAN / THE BAND - a collectors guide to the 74 Tour “There are two problems with the 1974 tour: the tapes are crap and Dylan‟s performances are crap.” – C. Heylin, Telegraph 32 pg 86. Introduction This booklet / File (like the anonymous companion volume “Songs of the Underground” for RTR) is intended to document the audio resources available to collectors concerning the 1974 tour with the Band. It is intended to supplement and possibly correct the three major resources available to collectors (Krogsgaard, Dundas & Olof‟s files). Several PA tapes have emerged since Krogsgaard was last updated, and (I believe) there are errors in Dundas (concerning the PA tapes from 11 Feb 1974) that I wished to address. Additionally, none of these references (except for one full listing in Krogsgaard) include the Band sets. While details are difficult to obtain, I have included details of about three- quarters of the Band sets. It is hoped that readers on the web may contribute more information. I believe that the Band was a significant contributor to the 1974 Tour and should be included in any 1974 Tour documentation. I have also identified the sources for the Vinyl and CD bootlegs, where my resources allowed. Often the attributions on Bootlegs are misleading, incomplete or wrong. As an example „Before and After the Flood‟ claims to be from MSG NYC 30.1.1974 when it is actually a combination of the PA tapes from 31.1.74 (evening) and 11.2.74 (evening).

  • Bob Dylan and the Reimagining of Woody Guthrie (January 1968)
    Woody Guthrie Annual, 4 (2018): Carney, “With Electric Breath” “With Electric Breath”: Bob Dylan and the Reimagining of Woody Guthrie (January 1968) Court Carney In 1956, police in New Jersey apprehended Woody Guthrie on the presumption of vagrancy. Then in his mid-40s, Guthrie would spend the next (and last) eleven years of his life in various hospitals: Greystone Park in New Jersey, Brooklyn State Hospital, and, finally, the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, where he died. Woody suffered since the late 1940s when the symptoms of Huntington’s disease first appeared—symptoms that were often confused with alcoholism or mental instability. As Guthrie disappeared from public view in the late 1950s, 1,300 miles away, Bob Dylan was in Hibbing, Minnesota, learning to play doo-wop and Little Richard covers. 1 Young Dylan was about to have his career path illuminated after attending one of Buddy Holly’s final shows. By the time Dylan reached New York in 1961, heavily under the influence of Woody’s music, Guthrie had been hospitalized for almost five years and with his motor skills greatly deteriorated. This meeting between the still stylistically unformed Dylan and Woody—far removed from his 1940s heyday—had the makings of myth, regardless of the blurred details. Whatever transpired between them, the pilgrimage to Woody transfixed Dylan, and the young Minnesotan would go on to model his early career on the elder songwriter’s legacy. More than any other of Woody’s acolytes, Dylan grasped the totality of Guthrie’s vision. Beyond mimicry (and Dylan carefully emulated Woody’s accent, mannerisms, and poses), Dylan almost preternaturally understood the larger implication of Guthrie in ways that eluded other singers and writers at the time.2 As his career took off, however, Dylan began to slough off the more obvious Guthrieisms as he moved towards his electric-charged poetry of 1965-1966.

  • Scobie on I'm Not There
    I’M NOT THERE (1956-2007) Stephen Scobie Je est un autre—Arthur Rimbaud I’m Not There (2007) In this autumn season of 2007, I can see that I am going to be thinking a lot about the Bob Dylan song known as “I’m Not There (1956).” At least, that is the title given to it on most of its early, bootleg appearances. Now that it has finally been officially released, the sub-title date has been dropped—which is a pity (since it added an element of mystery to the song) but also understandable (since no good explanation of the date has ever been given). “I’m Not There” is perhaps the ultimate Dylan bootleg, and has always been a subject for cult idealization as the most obscure of Dylan’s “lost” songs: a major master- piece that almost no one knows, and which indeed seems to conspire actively against being known. Now, it has become the title of Todd Haynes’s movie I’m Not There, “inspired by the music and many lives of Bob Dylan”—“many” being the operative word. The film is already famous for casting six different actors to play aspects of Dylan at different points in his career. If this strategy is a gimmick, it is a successful one: the film is generating vast amounts of advance publicity, much of it based on the photographs of Cate Blanchett looking, uncannily and androgynously, like 1966 Bob. The film is not due for North American release until late November, though it has played in prestigious festivals like Toronto, New York, and Venice.

  • Eric Garth Hudson Years: August 2, 1937- Present Residence
    6. Name: Eric Garth Hudson Years: August 2, 1937- Present Residence: West Saugerties, New York near Woodstock Brief Biography: Born in Windsor, Ontario, Hudson was the son of musicians. He attended University of Western Ontario for music. As a child he played organ during services at St. Luke’s Anglican Church. He found a niche when he joined a rock and roll group, the Capers, from 1958 through 1961. From 1961 till 1963 he became the music consultant, organist, and saxophonist for Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks. Hawkins split from the group in ’63. In 1966 the Hawks were introduced to Bob Dylan and accompanied him on a tour. At the conclusion of the long tour the band bought and lived in a pink house in West Saugerties, New York near Woodstock. By 1968 the Hawks became known as The Band and released their debuted album Music From Big Pink. Up until 1976, the Band toured and recorded around the world. This final concert was recorded in Martin Scorsese’s film, “The Last Waltz.” After the split, Hudson collaborated with many musicians to make albums as well as directors on soundtracks such as “The Right Stuff” and Martin Scorsese’s films “Raging Bull”. The Band often reunited in the 80s and 90s. In 1991, he moved back to Woodstock and recorded three more albums with the Band. In 2001 he released his first solo album. Major Achievements: Garth was inducted into the JUNO Hall of Fame (The Band), 1989, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (The Band), 1994, Hamilton Dofasco Lifetime of Achievement Award (The Band), 2007, and Grammy Lifetime of Achievement Award (The Band), 2008.

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.

  • Garth Hudson's Posture Looked Familiar Sunday As He Played Keyboards with the Dixie Hummingbirds - Hunched Over the Organ in a Possessed, Mad-Scientist Manner
    NEWPORT - If you saw the movie "The Last Waltz," Garth Hudson's posture looked familiar Sunday as he played keyboards with the Dixie Hummingbirds - hunched over the organ in a possessed, mad-scientist manner. Hudson played on the veteran gospel group's latest CD and was a featured player during the Apple & Eve Newport Folk Festival. And if you've heard Hudson speak, it all makes sense. He's dedicated much of his life to performing roots music - folk playing, blues, brass arrangements, country and gospel - and passing along his knowledge. Hudson, who grew up in Canada, is a multi-instrumentalist who made his name with The Band in the 1960s until that group's original lineup ended things in 1976. Since then, he's performed in a 1990s version of The Band and with a variety of groups that play an array of styles. And he shares what he knows with younger musicians. During a recent tour of Ireland, Hudson, 67, said he met with Irish musicians and master accordionists (he plays accordion, piano, organ and saxophone) to talk about their craft and ways to improve. "Before I was done, I would get together about 40 minutes worth of tips," he said during an interview at the Folk Festival. One man, a music teacher, came back twice. "We'd have the performance and then sit back after it was over and talk about music, different ways of doing things," he said. "I enjoy helping musicians. It's always been that way." In "The Last Waltz," Robbie Robertson talks about how Hudson billed himself as a music teacher early on, when the group was the Hawks and backed singer Ronnie Hawkins, and later Bob Dylan.

  • Levon Helm -- the Classic Drummer Interview
    Levon Helm The Classic Drummer Interview by Bob Girouard photo by Paul La Raia No one plays drums or sings a song like Levon Helm…..no one. He’s in a select club of musical pioneers that have cut across time and trends; legend and fact being one and the same. In a way he’s the everyman; a true American original and his impact on popular music over the past five decades is in a category unto itself. Helm is undeniably a larger than life Sonny Boy Williamson on KFFA, The Drawing from his own influences, persona, yet at the same time humble to Grand Ole Opry on WSM, Rhythm & Levon set the gold standard by creating a fault. Very few have commanded the Blues on WLAC, or “diving-in” to the a style uniquely his, and achieving a respect of such a cross section of influ- fray with his first band, “The Jungle level many drummers are still trying to ential artists as he has, and drummers Bush Beaters.” Local dues paid, it was copy. Musically, when one listens to are only a part of it. A short list would time to venture out into the great such staples as Up On Cripple Creek, The be people like Ringo Starr, Jim Keltner, unknown with wild man Ronnie Weight, and The Night They Drove Old Richie Hayward, George Receli, and Hawkins, and later Levon & The Dixie Down, they are hearing not only Steve Jordan, as well as icons like Hawks, who received a Brill Building songs….but rather a living-breathing Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and Eric baptism courtesy of mogul/gangster, history of a bygone era.
