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 ;) :D
I was desperately seraching for views of the Fernandes strat in the bakground, but the video ends just when we could eventually see it :smack :-[
yes Mark's licks are great, but Mick taylor's slide playing is great too :thumbsup
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?
-
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?
-
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 :wave :
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 ? :hmm
-
Oh maybe you're right, I thought this was a 'live' rehearsal outtake ?
-
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.

doesn't get any bigger then with that little band, doesn't it?

Val... That is quite nice moment in time captured... So glad you got to experience it!!! :D

I thought that many bands would make it big, a decade ago, by listening to one of their records. But after 1-2 fine records, the rest was average and they vanished. But you have to be consistent, producing many great records one after another with no gaps. It also helps to have good looks, be clever and reveal it in equal measures and most of all be lucky to get noticed.
MK played on the Aaron Neville cover of this song, issued on CD single.

Agree with that. Not many people can do that.

Yeah, great stuff. The video was terribly lip-synced, but the song is great! And the slide reminds me of recent MK a lot.

Yes that's very true of the slide reminding us of the 'recent' MK...

Oooooh!!! :)

Kind of funny/weird that MK wears a DS t-shirt in a Dylan video.
Do many artists wear their own t-shirts?!

Interesting observation. Maybe it is only a reference and a nod to Brett Whiteley, apart from an indirect advertising of the upcoming (?) Alchemy album. Although it is hard to tell when the Dylan video was shot, in order to place it chronologically.

It's not actually difficult to tell when it was shot if you look closely at the 1st second of the video. :)

Missed that. :smack It was shot nearly 2 months prior the concert from which Alchemy was comprised of, so I guess Knopfler already had in mind to record the double live album, use the Whiteley artwork and name it Alchemy after it. Unless we are looking at the most advance promoting ever (for those days at least), almost a year before the release, even months before the actual recording occurred. What is even more striking is that Knopfler left the Dylan recording sessions as they were concluding, and Dylan went on to change so many things from this record - from mixes to removing tracks from the final tracklist, that we lost another masterpiece, and we had to be content with a mere excellent record.

Yes, good point. I wonder if these were Brett tshirts rather than DS shirts? Do artists have T-shirts?!
(I actually have a Warhol tshirt but that’s a bit different).
