There are some lovely old thatres in the States and some of them Dylan has played at in order to help them. I can't say if he did so specifically in respect of the Eastman Theatre in Rochester NY but that was super inside.

It's understood that even John Fairweather designed the Edinburgh Playhouse on The Roxy in New York.

MK's list
1. What It Is
2. Corned Beef City
3. Privateering
4. Kingdom of Gold
5. Used to Could
6. Sonny Liston
7. Knoxville (Band Intros)
8. Hill Farmers Blues
9. Haul Away
10 Marble Town
------------------------
11 So Far Away

Highlights for me were Hill Farmers Blues and Privateering, the former is a great jam.

As noted, MK played a few songs with Dylan.   First time seeing Dylan, enjoyed the music and entertainment, not sure what he was singing more than half the time though.

Sarcasm does not become you, mr pottel. I am always happy to acknowledge errors, to admit omissions and to credit others.  I also admit to a failing memory.

The Edinburgh Playhouse is a very fine venue. I was disappointed when one show I was to attend there got kicked down the road to a mere sports arena on one occasion. Was that a Mark show?

That may be Marks' show in '96 that was moved to Meadowbank Sports Arena, but the original venue was The Usher Hall.  This was due to strong winds damaging the roof of The Usher Hall at the time.

Again, I admit my failing memory. I'm sure that must have been what was in my mind. Gosh, was that 1996?

I have less fond memories of shows at the Usher Hall, I have to say.  Mind you, Meadowbank Sports Arena is hardly a prime venue for music.

I don't know, it has it's advantages.  Off hand I can't think of any, but I'm sure there must be one!

I remember being worried at the time because I knew the Usher Hall was damaged, having seen it on the local news and a few days later I received a letter to tell me of the venue change.

Also, I recall that they were taking a lot of pictures at the show and on our seats was a slip of paper to inform us we could order sets of professionally taken pictures during the show.

about failing memory, I love this alzeihmer joke from Guy bedos (french humorist) :

 alzheimer has 3 advantages :
1) you don't have bad remembrances
2) you always see new people
3) you don't have bad remembrances

 :lol

Very good indeed. It's the same as the adage, "With alzheimer's, you meet new people everyday".

Another is: "I know I don't have alzheimer's because I know I don't have alzheimer's"

My father in law died last year after years of suffering alzheimer, and if any of you have the bad luck of having someone in your family with that disease, you will find hard to laugh about it, although sometimes some of the situations are kind of fun, there is always a tremendous big amount of sadness on it.

I apologize Jbaent, but I didn't want to offend anyone

I had several persons in my family who died from Alzeihmer, and I know how sad is it, but I think that sometimes humour can a little bit treat our sadness, or our helplessness in the face of disease and death.

It's difficult for me to explain what I mean, because of my poor english, but I hope you get the idea.

a french humorist Pierre desproges said "we can laugh about everything, but not with everyone".

And I must admit that I forgot that a web forum (where you obviously can't know everyone) isn't maybe the right place to post such jokes, a little bit of "black humor" as we said in french, at least without taking "precautions".

I'll try to be more carreful next time

sorry again

best
JF

Non offense taken, just made me feel sad as so many memories came to mind about it.

My mother is working daily with people who have Alzheimer. She always says, how sad something can be, sometimes it can be quite 'funny' as well. It has two sides.

very strange guitar, Bob's one. Strat shape, humbucker, amp looking like knobs...

is it a custom model made just for him ?
