Bob Dylan - The thread

[vgonis]

Just thought I should open a new thread for Bob Dylan. It is long overdue, for all Dylan fans.
Let me start with this:

It is the We are the world Dylan vocals rehearsals and recordings. In this song only Dylan and Ray Charles get a solo spot that actually shows extra respect for the person and his contribution in music. You have Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder doing extra lines, but they were the hot stuff back then, unlike Dylan. The DVD has this extra track with Dylan rehearsing and it is beautiful. It shows a man out of his usual game, that turns to Stevie Wonder often to ask for him to just play piano so he can get the grasp of it. And every time he sings it everybody saying "Perfect" and such, but he always goes "It wasn't any good, let's do it again" And the body language, wow, he looks so uncomfortable. I don't know if it is the cameras or the vast studio or so many people or the actual song that is crafted with nice backing vocals...

I love that vid - Dylan is off the planet, either insecure, unsure or just plain nuts! I love it... the final product, is just right!

An old favourite! Bob and Van at Philopapou hill (seen at the first seconds) singing with Acropolis (the hill right next) as background! It must be 1993, June.Bob was here for a concert that I missed due to school final exams. When Bob is seen solely, you can also see Lycabetus hill in the distance (the green one with the white chapel on top) where the famous theater is located, and where he performed in 1993.

13th May 1969, Bob Dylan recorded versions of 'Lay, Lady, Lay', at Columbia Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. 'Lay Lady Lay' was originally written for the soundtrack of the movie Midnight Cowboy, but wasn't submitted in time to be included in the finished film. The song has gone on to become a standard and has been covered by numerous bands and artists over the years, including The Byrds, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, The Everly Brothers, Neil Diamond, Melanie, The Isley Brothers, Duran Duran, Hoyt Axton and Isaac Hayes amongst others.
