Trying to catch up

   I think I've admitted before that I became aware of Dylan largely from other artists' covers of his works.  The Kingston Trio, PP&M, Jimi, Baez (although in the latter's case, I was already aware of Bob, and their relationship, but found her treatments of his songs more listenable).

Now, something completely weird

   I remember trying to watch this movie (VHS rental, 35+ years ago).  This is a quite bizarre performance - feels rushed - but I do like the double-time bass solo at the end. 


    I hope Venus and Mars are alright.

Live Bullet

IIRC, the AOR DJs of the '70s utilized this pairing if they needed to visit the loo...


A brilliant segue, and one of my favorite Seger performances.

Another pairing I remember - but I have trouble verifying this - was Ronstadt's cover of Phil Everly's When Will I Be Loved, followed directly by Willin' (Lowell George/Little Feat cover).

Git along...

To this day, Linda's album named for this song remains my favorite.  While I didn't initially like this version as well as hers, I now value them equally.

The album was produced by Jackson Bowne, featuring Don & Glenn, Lindsey & Stevie, Waddy, Phil Everly, wünderkind multi-instrumentalist David Lindley and Rosemary Butler, Bonnie Raitt, Carl Wilson, and several stellar session players - a who's who of the L.A. scene in the '70s.

Between the groovy 59th and 110th

I feel a bit like a plagiaristic schlub posting the same song as another, venerable, blogifier, but this is a version I really dig. 


Check out the platter on that turntable! Gotta be super-low wow & flutter.

About last night...

 This always makes a good sing-a-long at the pub...


   Are they on the set for 'Houses of the Holy'?

Please allow me to...

 Well, you know.


   You gotta admit Ksenia is better looking than Mr. Cetera.
