vinilink Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 This maybe an off topic, but thought I would post it on this thread. I walk passed outside of this bar named Bob Dylan and the Band bar last December in Seoul number of times whenever I was there. But, never got a chance check out the place in person, hopefully I will get a chance yo visit the bar one day. I attached the screenshots of inside the bar from Google Maps. The owner/operator seems love tube amps as you can see from a photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a jaunty tune with a litany of put downs and that that killer punchline I loved his reaction halfway through knowing what the last line was to come Not sure who it was about a lot of possibilities at that time around the Greenwich Village folk scene I prefer to think it was about his audience at that time and their reaction to playing an electric guitar Lucinda Williams thinks it’s about professional jealousy as he started to grow out of the folk scene based on her own experiences 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendes Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 This is one of Bob's albums that took me a long time to get into and really appreciate. Not on any religious level at all, but just great song writing and now an absolute joy to listen to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Bob knows a bit about crucifixion and resurrection in the metaphorical Sense This record was crucified at its release by Bob fanatics like me and it took 40 or so years for its resurrection in the shape of recordings from the live tour at that time Trouble No More Inflamed with born again righteous vocals and a killer band of musicians and a female gospel chorus the songs came alive despite the often cringey lyrics The vocals transcended the limitations of the lyrics so to speak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved this album when it came out, & still do. I’m more inclined to get excited when an established artist does something different. I see it as a testament to their talent (if it works) A couple of examples off the top of my head: Elvis Costello: Almost Blue Paul Kelly: Post Neil Young: Trans Linda Ronstadt: Round Midnight Springsteen: Nebraska 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 From Jewish to born again Christian is certainly different As I said above on Trouble No More Bobs vocals transcend the lyrics which is the opposite to how he is perceived outside that narrow universe of Dylan fanatics have you heard Trouble No More? 44 minutes ago, surprisetech said: Yes, it was an interesting period for Bob’s fans.
