Free Music Review: Some Great Moments
Hit: 4 Stars
I've seen Bob Dylan live at least a dozen times and every tour is different. Last tour Bob hid behind the keyboard the whole concert, a little disappointing. In 2003 I saw Bob at a baseball park with open/festival "seating." I got there early and grabbed a spot at the front of the stage. Bob stood on the lip of the stage directly above me. I could almost reach up and grab his stovepipe pants! An absolute thrill. That performance was incredible. Bob plucked his Telecaster with stunning virtuosity and sang brilliantly. His band was loud and tight and really tore it up. I so wish THAT performance had been recorded!
This performance is a little spotty, but still well worth having in your collection. Bob and The Band are full of energy and it comes across on the record. The two best songs here, I believe, are Dylan's accoustic renderings of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and "It's alright, Ma, I'm Only Bleeding." Both are given firey, passionate treatment. You will notice the audience screaming their applause on "It's alright, Ma" right after the line "Even the President of the United States sometimes has to stand naked." That's due to the fact that President Nixon was about to resign from office due to the continuing Watergate scandal. We Dylan fans have always seen him a prophet and that song was definitely prophetic at that time. I still get goosebumps every time I hear that line! This recording is special more for it's energy and excitement than it's music. It's an interesting snapshot in a legendary career. Buy it!
Before The Flood [Live With The Band, 1974] Poster
Japanese only paper sleeve pressing. Sony. 2009.Dylan has issued a large number of live albums in his day, but 1974's Before the Flood deserves special mention because of the presence of the Band behind him. Dylan had recently brought the Band into the studio to record the chart-topping (yet still somehow underappreciated) Planet Waves, which was the first (and, as it turned out, only) studio record he made after leaving Columbia for Asylum. He then asked them along on the subsequent tour, which at the time became the most successful rock tour in history. The fruits of that partnership are contained on this two-CD set, which actually ignores Planet Waves completely in favor of older classics. Although the album includes several strong collaborations, the highlights ironically come during Dylan's solo-acoustic portion, which yields powerful and gritty versions of "Don't Think Twice" and "It's Alright Ma," and during the Band's own exhilarating numbers with Dylan sitting out. --Marc Greilsamer
