36? I see two discs for a lot of them so I guess one is the electric and one is the acoustic?

Honestly, though…If Radiohead did this concept for all the 1997 tours I’d be hard pressed to think it was worth buying. So much will be the same over and over, won’t it?

Aye but radiohead are pish pal :wink:

Yeah but at least their deaths weren’t covered up and crap lookalikes drafted in to replace them :wink:

The version of Mr Tambourineman on Vol 4 is like the musical definition of contempt. It gives me goosebumps X

bought the DVD a couple of years ago and watched disc 1 but don’t think i ever got round to disc 2. i’ve got a terrible attention span. keep meaning to pick it up from my parents’ house to give it a proper watch.

my local indie cinema screened it a few years back at the peak of my Dylan obsession but i couldn’t face sitting in the cinema for that long :smiley:

keen to do some reading about Bob, where should I start? Interested in it all but perhaps a brief history, origin of songs etc

#36

Hard to say, there’s just so many books out there. The best biography, Clinton Heylin’s 'Behind The Shades, is over 700 pages long. He’s also written two volumes chronicling the origin of each song, ‘Revolution In The Air’ and ‘Still On The Road’ but, once again, they’re quite long, adding up to over 800 pages in total.

I think this would be a good primer. Picked it up before Christmas for some light reading and enjoyed the way it went through album and told his story chronologically.

thanks for this will check it out

have you read his own book? (Chronicles Vol. 1 - no idea when Vol. 2 is supposed to materialise) the bits about his early years and first moving to New York and getting his record deal etc are really interesting, though kinda strange that it alternates between that and the recordings of New Morning and Oh Mercy, which are still interesting but hardly the most vital periods to learn about.

It’s a good read alright. I left it out as ol’ Bob has fabricated a load of it but it’s still an enjoyable enough page turner.

yeah chronicles is great but in true dylan fashion there’s lots of half truths and fabrications, considering its supposed to be an autobiography as such it really doesn’t give a whole lot away.
Still a fucking good read though
