Free Music Review: Archival Interview on Bob Dylan and Rolling Thunder
Hit: 5 Stars
On May 17th, 1976 I, Liam Aposeur, Chief Editor of Seering Stone Magazine interviewed Metamorpho as part of a series we were running at the time. We invited many well-know luminaries to discuss the greatest musical influences over the last decade. Metamorpho, just back from a spiritual speaking tour of Europe, arrived at our office in New York at about 1 o'clock. It was a balmy,bright spring day. Just right for a balmy personality. He was certainly dressed for the occasion, wearing a white linen outfit with matching seer's hat. I admit, a vision of Colonel Saunders entered my mind, which quickly dissipated when he puffed a magikal cigar circle in my direction. This was an indication that he was ready to proceed.
L: How did your tour go this time Metamorpho?
M: Pretty well. My guides kept me out of trouble although, dare I say it?
They tried to get me to party at some bar called The Tabernacle.
L: I think I've heard of that. Didn't Hemingway frequent that place?
M: (Laughing) Yes, in-between watching the Bull Fights.(puffing on cigar).
L: Anyway- today we are here to discuss the musical scene of the past 10
years.
M: Yes,Yes. I have reflected extensively on that topic.
L: And do you have comments for us today?
M: Yes (adjusting seer's hat). Has to be Bob Dylan. He is an artist who
is on my wavelength.
L: Well, you are known as the Seer of a Generation. You do know that?
M: I ignore that. I am not fond of labels. I don't speak for anyone but
myself.
L: Well, people take a liking to what you do. How would you characterize
what you do.
M: A circus clown (Laughing)
L: Not a prophet and visionary of the masses?
M: No. How about a rodeo cowboy with white make-up?
L: That sounds like Bob Dylan on last year's Rolling Thunder Revue.
M: Precisely (flicking a cigar ash).
L: Do you have a comment about that?
M: Well- I did go up to Massachusetts one evening to see it. It was
amazing. He had an entourage of excellent musicians and they played
alot of his songs alot differently than what we've heard before.
L: You mean he reinvented his classics?
M: (looking to the sky for spiritual energy) Oh no. I don't think with
an artist like Dylan you could say that.
L: How so?
M: Well, with any creative process that change is a universal law.
Recreating music is what most people want. Dylan has, and always will,
do what he wants. That is what makes him so special. He's just like me
in many ways.
L: What about the message in the music?
M: Certainly injustice is a theme as in "Hattie Carroll" and "Hurricane".
Also odes to women like "Sara" and "Just Like a Woman".
L: Anything else?
M: (furrows his brow) Yes. With Dylan you get so much. Desolation, deep
emotion, the ache for celebration, the struggle within the soul to be
free. And , of course (bordering on haughtiness) all told with the goal
of eternal truth.
L: But, back to the sound? How did it all sound to you?
M: Well- alot of the songs he did had a different meter and some almost
approaching a waltz I'd say. Many had a country feel to them with
slide guitar. That is most interesting. There were parts of the sound
I didn't expect and, yet, it was a novel and pleasurable experience.
L: How so?
M: You hear, all of a sudden, with new ears.
L: That may anger some devout fans.
M: Dylan doesn't care. Why should he? Besides, the songs he did were very
crafty in their arrangement.
L: Didn't he do any just acoustic songs?
M: Oh yes (peering into the air and laughing- remembering the experience)
He was most effective with "Baby Blue" and "Love Minus Zero". So well
done. Even his duets with Joan Baez had a much different flavor to them
than that totally acoustic concert in 1964.
L: With some of the same songs - aren't they similar?
M: Not at all. That is what makes the Rolling Thunder Revue so special, in
my humble opinion.
L: It's a shame we all couldn't hear this concert.... just to judge for
ourselves.
M: Well, (remembering) I do recall a Columbia sound crew there with some
recording equipment.
L: Do you think Bob will release this concert soon? Now you've got me
excited!
M: Hmmmmm.... (snuffs out cigar stub)...I don't know. I have done serious
refection on this, and I did come to a prediction.
L: What? What? Share the prophecy with us! Please Metamorpho?
M: Well....ok....since that was a delicious, well-earned fawning - I must
say....
L: And.....?
M: (grinning ear to ear-or seer to seer?) We might see a release this
year.
L: Wonderful!!!!!
M: But, if I were Columbia, you know what I'd do?
L: What?
M: Oh....wait about 3 decades to release it. Could you imagine the demand
then?
L: (shrieks and begins to sob). And so we conclude "sniff" our inteview.
M: (offering a white linen hankerchief)..... here.
Bob Dylan Live 1975 (The Bootleg Series Volume 5) Poster
One of the many oddities of Bob Dylan's long and unruly career has been the rather cursory recording treatment given his stint as ringleader of the Rolling Thunder Revue. It's a shortcoming that's rectified with the release of Live 1975. Prior to the appearance of this two-disc collection, Rolling Thunder's eclectic road show was chronicled only in the infrequently screened, Dylan-directed Renaldo & Clara film and the bafflingly brief and one-note 1976 live set, Hard Rain. In contrast to its predecessor, this set, culled from four appearances made in November and December of '75, captures the breadth and subtleties of Dylan's Rolling Thunder performances. "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You," formerly a coda from Nashville Skyline, is given a rather incongruous bite here, while "It Ain't Me, Babe" is colored brightly by multi-instrumentalist David Mansfield along with erstwhile David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson, the sparkplug of the gratifyingly ragtag group that coalesced on short notice. Solo acoustic performances weave through caterwauling full-band treatments of songs old ("The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll) and new ("Hurricane" and four other selections from Desire, which wouldn't hit the racks until early '76). While the contributions of a number of caravan cohorts and guests are left out, Joan Baez shares the spotlight with Dylan on four numbers, most notably on the rarity "Mama, You Been on My Mind" and the traditional "The Water Is Wide." But despite its cavalcade trappings, it was Dylan's show, and this collection demonstrates finally just how close to his '60s peak the '70s Dylan was. --Steven StolderFolk Music CDs
