  2. Bob Dylan US Summer 2016 tour

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    I hear you there. Only artist I've seen more then the Grateful Dead. 

    I think the last time I didn't recognize a song was in Vancouver 98 when he played at The Rage, a night before he played with Van and Joni at GM place. Halfway through first set he played "Stone Walls & Steel Bars" and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what song it was. I ended up asking someone next to me - to be honest, I had heard the song before (though never from Bob) but it had never stuck with me. It has since though.

     

    edit to add:

    It was also the first time I saw him play Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm not supposed to care" .

    That show ranks as one of the best I ever saw of Dylan. Smallest venue I've ever seen him in that's for sure.

    Bob's shows are a crap shoot now-a-days unfortunately. Thankfully I've seen my fair share.

    I haven't seen him in about 5 years or more. The last time was at Rogers Centre ACC. If he played anywhere else when he visits Toronto I'd likely consider grabbing tickets, but if its ACC I'd pass without a second thought.(I won't go there for any band though).

    I still download most shows of his tours though (often entire tours). In recent years it seems smaller venues are a lot more enjoyable or perhaps forgiving, though that's not an exact science. Ravages of age I suppose. That said, I still think the man writes great songs, and I really enjoy his studio releases. I'm positive when he calls it quits (or passes) I'll regret not going to that "last show".

    The 4-disc set has the same setlist, but the timings of the many songs are shorter on the 3-disc version. For example, Les Brers is 6 minutes shorter, Hideaway is 5 minutes shorter and Mountain Jam 8 minutes shorter. Many of the other songs have smaller/shorter edits.

    Makes sense, didn't take that into consideration. Also found this...

    There are multiple versions of this 12/31/73 show in circulation. The most common (and the only one that I’ve seen) is supposed to be from the Pre FM reels (which were most likely damaged, keep reading). On the heavily circulated version there were numerous flaws, most were either digital noise or clipping. A new transfer was just done from a Reel To Reel FM Master. This new FM master did not have any of the flaws that were present on the common “Pre FM” version, but FM Master was of slightly lesser quality.

    The solution? Small portions of the new FM master were spliced into the higher quality version when there was digital noise, clipping, etc. Those defects have now been eliminated. The splicing was done well, at most points it’s unnoticeable, but there were a couple of splices that didn’t line up perfectly, one of those would be the splice that provides the intro to Liz Reed. Either way, this show sounds much better than it did before, and it’s the best source I know of to be in circulation.

    Here are some of the other edits that were done… There was digital noise in some of Bill Graham’s band intro, this was spliced in OK from the other copy. Various count-ins were slightly clipped, but are now spliced in seamlessly. These are usually when KSAN DJ’s talk, those short station ID’s have also been put back in. The KSAN announcer’s (Tom Donahue) count-in at New Year’s was similarly clipped, this has been restored, clipped notes at the beginning of Jessica have also been restored. There were many other additional edits, but you get the picture.

    Pretty sure mine is the new transfer mentioned above, I don't recall hearing any digi-noise etc, but I'd have to dig my copy out to be sure.

    Even better is the four-disc version, if you can find it. There are a lot of edits on this one (although it is most definitely still awesome!).

    Agreed. Had the show for a long time. I can likely set you up with it Booche. My copy is on CDR (WAV), not sure I have the SHNs anymore though.

    [edit to add]

    Comparing the set lists, it looks like mine is the same, but on four CDRs - so I may not have the same version Hamilton is talking about. Though checking online it seems the set is complete though.

    I know.  Thanks for reminding me.  Couldn't find a setting to turn it on. I just did a quick look and there's a plug-in to provide the functionality.  It's now beside the submit button.

     

    Awesome. Thanks bouche.

    Same for me.

    I went into the epic covers thread and edited my posts. All I did was cut the URL I had already posted and re-pasted it. Automatically showed the video.

  13. Long-lost photos from legendary S.F. concert discovered amid dust

    in Soundboard

    Pretty cool. 43 pics.

     

    Source: http://www.sfchronicle.com/thetake/article/Long-lost-photos-from-legendary-S-F-concert-6788689.php

     

     

     

     

    For decades, The Chronicle’s photos from “The Last Waltz,” one of San Francisco’s greatest rock music events, were lost, thought never to be seen again.

     

    The concert at Winterland in 1976 was to be the final concert that The Band performed on the road, and filmmaker Martin Scorsese was on hand to shoot it and produce a feature-length movie.

     

    The evening started with a Thanksgiving dinner for the 5,000 concertgoers, with the diners entertained by Berkeley Promenade Orchestra, a 40-piece string group. Bill Graham borrowed set decorations from San Francisco Opera’s production of “La Traviata,” and he added chandeliers and a fountain in the lobby. After dinner, The Band took the stage, and as the night went on the musicians were joined by several famous friends: Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood and Ringo Starr.
    It was a San Francisco concert filled with rock royalty in a starry setting, but the images disappeared among the dust of The Chronicle’s vast archive.

     

    Then, 40 years later, fortune smiled on fans on The Band.

     

    Chronicle pop culture critic Peter Hartlaub and I had searched extensively for the photos and negatives but had come up empty-handed. Last week, our luck changed. We were searching through shots of a 1980 Bread and Roses show featuring Joni Mitchell playing guitar with B.B. King. Looking at the negatives as I scanned them, it became clear it was a different show.

     

    The first few negatives showed an indoor venue with ornate decorations. It didn’t look dilapidated enough for Winterland, but by the 10th negative I was looking at couples dancing, maybe waltzing, and I started to get excited.

     

    I kept scanning, and there they were: dozens of shots of the concert, taken by ace Chronicle photographer Gary Fong, showing The Band, the guest rockers and the final jam with all of the musicians on stage.

     

    After 30 years digging through The Chronicle’s archive as a big rock ’n’ roll fan, this might be my favorite find.

    Another great musician gone.  I'd read a while back he wasn't doing well but never realized to what extent. Sad news indeed.

     

    Wouldn't consider myself a hater but I was never a fan of the Eagles. Though I did see them during the 'Hell Freezes Over' tour (CNE). Just one of those bands that was simply way over-played in my world while growing up, or maybe it was the folks I knew and met that loved them that turned my off. I dunno, nor really care.

  19. R.I.P Iron Mike Sharpe

    in Rich Stadium

    Posted

    Goodbye to a Hamilton institution. The loudest man in wrestling.

     

     

     

    ”Iron” Mike Sharpe died over the weekend in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He was 64 years old.

    According to reports, Sharpe was discovered in his apartment and had been dealing with several health ailments. Apparently he’d been in a wheelchair since 2007 due to a back injury.

    Former professional wrestler “Iron” Mike Sharpe has died at age 64, the WWE announced on Monday morning.

     

    The Hamilton native was managed by WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano and used the mysterious — and often loaded — black brace on his right forearm to defeat opponents.

     

    Sharpe’s winning ways were enough to earn him a WWE championship match against Bob Backlund in Philadelphia in April 1983, four months after his WWE debut.

     

    Although he called himself “Canada’s Greatest Athlete” he transitioned into being a so-called “enhancement talent,” after that title shot, losing to bigger stars in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

     

    Sharpe then regularly competed on and off for both WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Sharpe’s final WWE match was in 1995.

     

    Following his retirement, Sharpe opened a wrestling school in Brick, N.J., where he trained many aspiring competitors. His students included former WWE superstars Charlie Haas and Simon Dean (also known as ECW’s Nova), as well as WCW superstar Crowbar.
