Oh Kind Miss
Brookfield, CT

Created Thu 24th Sep '09 21:03 (GMT) | | Collectors Edition: The Essential Dylan
I just received a boxed set of Bob Dylan DVDs with a booklet that went with it in a very nice green sturdy box. Everything about the set was well put together except for one essential item. The DVDs are in random order and there is no information where they come from or when the performances were done. It is a good thing that I have seen just about all of them already and have many on old VHS tapes. I recognized the performances when they were played. This is a fine addition to a collection if , like me, you have the older tapes and want something more durable. But for a new fan who does not know when or where the performances happened this boxed set would be very confusing. Just the changes in Bob's clothes, hats, and voice would confound a new fan. The accompanying booklet is also somewhat confusing, with most of the material relating to the Rolling Thunder Revue. The rest of the booklet, written by a different author, consists of track by track comments about the Dylan albums from the first "Dylan," up to "John Wesley Harding" and then it stops. Not sorry to have purchased the item, but it is not for fans who don't know a grest deal about Bob Dylan. Defintely not as an introduction to the legend. | [reply to this topic] |

Sorry, thought I'd put that in. Its Blood on the tracks & Desire. An australian import. I only asked as some of the rare CD places list it, but don't have copies and therefore don't give a price. I'd be grateful if you could help me out on this one. Many thanks | [reply to this topic] |

SO DO I. I HAD TO BUY A 2ND ONE THOUGH, YEARS AGO. I WORE THE FIRST ONE OUT. GREAT ALBUM, ESPECIALLY THE RIVARRA[SIC]CHICK ON THE VIOLIN. SHE GAVE DYLAN A NEW SOUND SORTA EASTERN EUROPEAN. ONE OF DYLAN'S SELF CREATED MYTHS WAS THAT HE JUST PICKED HER UP ON THE WAY TO THE STUDIO BECAUSE HE SAW HER CARRYING THE VIOLIN CASE WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN NEW YORK [I BELIEVE] AND WANTED TO TRY VIOLIN ON A COUPLE OF SONGS.....RIGHT | [reply to this topic] |

Edited 2 times | | BOB DYLAN
I AM A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN SINGER/SONGWRITER/GUITARIST. I BECAME A DYLAN FAN A LONG TIME AGO. I'VE SEEN HIM LIVE ABOUT 15 TIMES, HE HAS SUCKED ALL BUT THREE. I WENT TO A DYLAN CONCERT RECENTLY IN KALAMAZOO MI, HE CHANGED THE TEMPO AND MELODIES OF ALL HIS CLASSIC SONGS [I HAD TO LOOK AT THE SET LIST THE NEXT DAY TO FIND OUT WHAT "IT'S ALL OVER NOW BABY BLUE" WAS AND, I RECORDED THAT SONG A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND PLAYED IT OFTEN]. HE EVEN PLAYED "MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE" IN SOME SORTA REGAEE[SIC], SWING GROOVE. I HAVE TELL TALE SIGNS AND HIS VOICE IS LOW AND RASPY NOW, BUT HE SOUNDS GOOD. AT THIS CONCERT THE BAND DROWNED HIM OUT COMPLETELY. THE THREE GUITAR PLAYER'S DID NOT DO ONE SOLO, THEY WERE USELESS NOISE. HE STILL HAS THE SAME BASS PLAYER[HE'S GREAT] AND THE DRUMMER WAS EXCELLENT TOO, BUT WHAT GOOD IS DYLAN'S MUSIC WITHOUT HEARING THE LYRICS. NO ONE CARES IF HE CRACKLES, HELL IT'S BOB DYLAN. THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE WAY HE CHANGED SO MANY OF HIS GREAT SONGS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD HIM DO THIS. HE HAD A BIG MONITOR BESIDE HIMSELF, AND HIS TOY KEYBOARD, SO HE MUST CARE HOW HE'S SINGING. THE SOUND MAN WAS WORKING THE SHOW FROM THE SIDE OF THE STAGE, LIKE A MORON. HE KEPT RUNNING OUT FOR BEER. HE COULD NEVER WORK FOR ANYONE WHO GAVE ???? LIKE THAT. I'VE EXRERIENCED SOME PATHETIC SOUND MEN MYSELF, BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS. I THINK DYLAN SHOULD DEFINETLY KEEP PERFORMING, BUT HE NEEDS TO RE-GROUP HIS SHOW. PEOPLE PAY MONEY TO HEAR THE CLASSIC SONGS AT LEAST CLOSE TO THE WAY HE RECORDED THEM. IF BOB WANTS TO PLAY ROCKABILLY, SWING FINE. WRITE SOME NEW TUNES, IT AIN'T THAT HARD TO WRITE STUFF LIKE RAVE ON OR STOOD UP OR ANY OF THE OLD STYLE ROCKERS. SO MUCH FOR THE POET OF ROCK, HE'S GOT WRITER'S BLOCK. HIS GOAL WAS TO PASS ELVIS AND HE HAS ALREADY DONE THAT. NOW HIS GOAL SHOULD BE TO ENTERTAIN HIS FANS AND NOT HIMSELF. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR MCCARTNEY PLAY YESTERDAY LIKE "I SAW HER STANDING THERE". NOT TOO WELL. SO LONG FOR NOW , MICHAEL ANGELO | [reply to this topic] |

Created Thu 12th Jul '07 02:44 (GMT) | | Bob Dylan Paper Dress
my notes from 12 Mar 2005 indicate the dylan paper dress was listed at: £ 650.00, (exchange rate at that time = US $ 1,227.85)
a buyer at EIL replied to my email inquiry ("am i to understand this item sold for that amount?") as follows: "Unfortunately although rare, there is not much of a market for this item and it difficult to sell."
is your question implying you have one for sale or you are interested in buying one? | [reply to this topic] |

Created Thu 10th Aug '06 12:43 (GMT) | | Seems steep for the stereo release
On the other hand, I've struggled to find a top-quality original *mono* release of this LP. The mono is more interesting since it is the release that Dylan would have given more attention to.
