Marks guitarplaying fits so good to bob his songs, the laid back, leave out notes playing is awesome indeed

well it's not exactly the alchmey one, it's a "negative one", the alchemy one has black arrows on a white tshirt   

I was desperately seraching for views of the Fernandes strat in the bakground, but the video ends just when we could eventually see it 

yes Mark's licks are great, but Mick taylor's slide playing is great too 

I thinks that the song where the 2 styles blend  perfectly together is tell me (on bootlegs sessions, never ended up on the album) : clean fingerstyle by Mark, and gorgeous slide by Mick

This is sooooo great! Thanks for sharing. Completed a circle for me today as I just returned from my local Apple store and while there "Like a Rolling Stone" came on the sound system. I commented on it to my very young clerk, saying she probably doesn't even know who BD is,  to which she replied that she certainly did know him as her dad went to high school with Bob in Hibbing, Mn. She said her dad told her that Hibbing did not treat Bob very kindly when he was there, thinking he would never make it in the music world - that he was just kind of a joke. Of course now, she continued, Hibbing is trying to make money off the BD name. Which then made me wonder whether any of us would recognize it when we are in the presence of potential greatness?

[Pottel]

very good question.
even though, one would think, someone with the writing skills like Bob, or mark's playing skills, should be taken notice of, sooner or later, right?

[JF]

Yes very difficult to answer.

Do we think that all these "known" artists are really great after they became "famous", "acclaimed" etc...or would have we think the same when they were unknown ?

I think that twn could answer us  :

did he have the same feeling in the 60ies when seeing "new" artists at the time ? Has his feeling "changed" when they became more famous ?

Did he realise to go seeing "legends", or did this feeling came later ?

Was their potential greatness obvious a the time ?

Personally, I can only give my opinion of seeing the Beatles at many lunch-time and Saturday night shows at The Cavern, before they were famous.    They were obviously a very good band indeed, but so were many others at that time and I can honestly say that no-one was more surprised than my group of friends and myself when they became so famous.  Of course, there are always those who say, in retrospect, that they always knew they would make it big, but we never did!     They did have a special charisma, though!

How is Bob not singing into a dynamic microphone here? Is just one mic capturing the whole room for rehearsal purposes?
Brilliant film anyway, wonderful to see Mark grooving away with such joy, and Bob bubbling over with esoteric lyrics ! Such fun !

I don't understand your question.

the video is a playback over the studio version,right ? or did I miss something ?

[Fletch]

Oh maybe you're right, I thought this was a 'live' rehearsal outtake ?

[JF]

No I don't think so.
it's the "official" video clip, like the one for license to kill (can't find it on YT but it exists)

Yes, a mimic playback (guitars not even plugged in) , but not the version of the song that was released. One of the alternative takes they recorded of each track.
