  • While I'm working on my Niagara Falls audience tape upload, I thought you might like to see this interesting footage of Bob having fun with one of his old standards, accompanied by Rolling Thunder Revue bassist, Rob Stoner. Bob's looking like he experienced catharsis at the end, as always.
    Peace & Love,

    I would suggest that before condemning or criticizing Bob that you "walk a mile in his shoes".He is very compassionate and accepting of the big picture which is essentially a group of musicians letting loose and having fun. Bob does not have to say anything, he does everything subtly with expression and gestures.That is the genius of rock royalty.

    It strikes me as a being a nod towards The Animals' version. Eric Burdon did a brilliant prog for BBC Radio 4 about House of the Rising Sun some years back and he said that Dylan told him: "That song has a thousand faces..." Burdon also tells the story of speaking to guy back in the 70's who had been in special forces in Vietnam. It was New Year's Eve 1968 and they were chasing Charlie up country. A chopper dropped off supplies including a 6-string. They were all having a fireside sing-a-long that night belting out House of the Rising Sun when from the next hillside comes the Viet Cong singing along with them - spooky or what? P.S. Got any Tarantula stuff PG? It's a speciality of mine. I did the introduction to the Chinese edition published in September 2020 amongst other stuff. Best Regards, Robin Witting, England

      I watched this again, about 5 times now. Bob doesn't look happy, that is for sure. Maybe Bob wanted the song to be less screaming, but that guy turned it into the mess we saw.
      I'm not the type of person who thinks everything is art. I'm not thinking, 'Thank you Swinging Pig for bringing us this historical treasure'. I'm thinking this clip is dog shit. The only interesting thing about it is the mystery of that look Bob gave us. Bob knows this was dog shit.
      OK, 'that guy' has a name, Rob Stoner, the bassist for the tour. So he isn't some bum wandered backstage to cop a feel. And he sang with Bob on stage throughout the tour. I have some kind of bootleg DVD of this tour that I bought from a street vendor in the East Village. I watched it a few times. I'm a big Dylan fan, but I don't everything about him like who he played with and stuff. And that 'Last Waltz' movie, I can't stand it and Robbie Robertson makes sick he looks like such a pimp. so not knowing who 'that guy' was, I was thinking Bob's expression might have been, 'Who the fuck is this guy, and why is he in my face?'
      I have to watch again, armed with new knowledge.
      I can't figure it out. Bob looks like he just got a bad telegram. I know who knows what is going on here. Swinging Pig knows. He's one of those super fans that knows more about Bob than Bob knows about himself. Pig knows, but he ain't telling. Pig says Bob experienced 'catharsis'. I had to look that up...
      'Catharsis... the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.'
      Looks to me more like he's locking an emotion up tighter.
      This clip is trash. Cameras stalking them everywhere, hoping to catch magic at any/every moment. Like I said, not everything is art. I bet Bob knew this was dog shit and was thinking 'enough for one day. I'm calling it quits before I do something really embarrassing'. That was gross. Yelling the song like they are a bunch of Yoko Onos.
      Thanks for the conversation piece Senor Pig.

      He had to keep screaming or else be drowned out. He called the '74 tour with the Band the Screaming Tour. My impression watching him on that tour was that he didn't need to scream in order to be powerful. Just listen to all his albums up to that point. Hell,, he didn't even need to go electric, but that's OK, too. LARS is still the apex, GOAT.

    I think a large percentage of the output of this whole era and it's "style" and "energy" can be directly attributed to cocaine. Not trying to cause an argument...just putting it out there because to me it's fairly obvious and the drug was a major influence on a lot the music in this era. not saying good or bad - just commenting.

      Have you ever come across any evidence, other than the "style" and "energy" of this era, that Dylan used coke? I have never done the drug, and never really been around users/addicts that I know of, so I am no authority, but Dylan does not seem to have the negative signs of addiction that you can see so clearly in some from that period, for instance David Bowie. Are there stories that float around about Dylan and coke? I haven't heard them.

But I think the proof is in the pudding with this whole tour and Hard Rain Live album and well, Before The Flood and Desire maybe .. but anyway, just find it intriguing - the role weed and coke or booze or just drugs in general have played such a vital role over decades, if not since the dawn of time, throughout the creative artosphere.

      If you check the booklet that comes along with the Rolling Thunder Review edition of The Bootleg Series (Vol. 5, I believe, if my mem'ry serves me well), there is a photo of Dylan sleeping on a couch backstage somewhere with a big ol' bag of it laying on the table next to him, which at the very least, puts him in the same room as it. There are inferences made in Ratso Sloman's book about the tour ('On The Road With Bob Dylan'), and there is also mention of it being used by basically the entire travelling party in the wonderful little book called 'A Rough Guide To Bob Dylan' (under the 'Dylan & Drugs' section).
