i love that song.

Haha. I think I know who subby is. Fantastic clip. Rolling Thunder Revue = superb lineup.

Ronson's right behind Dylan; T-Bone Burnett is the tall guy on the left. I think Bob Neuwirth was in the band (is he the one over on the right with the acoustic guitar that Dylan's goofing with?), don't remember who else. Should've gone to see them in Houston... can't recall the particulars of why I didn't -- maybe it was Baezophobia?

Dude!! I have that "Hard Rain" record!! that was one of my very first serious Dylan exposures when i was a kid [the other one before that was the Travelling Wilburys]. looking back, I actually think that the "Blood on the Tracks" from it are better than the originals in some ways.

i also never knew that there was a Hard Rain video until now...
so thank you very much, subby!!

from wiki (i was lazy, but this jives with my memory of who was in the Revue:

Among those featured in the Revue were Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Kinky Friedman and Bob Neuwirth. Neuwirth assembled the backing musicians, including T-Bone Burnett, Mick Ronson, and David Mansfield, and, from the Desire sessions, violinist Scarlet Rivera, bassist Rob Stoner, and drummer Howie Wyeth.

Busted!

I guess that must be Stoner and Wyeth then working as the rhythm section with Ronson, Burnett and Neuwirth playing guitar along with Dylan. I don't really know anything about those two.

I didn't know about Kinky being on the tour! I read some of that same Wiki bit you quoted; I think Burnett, Mansfield and Steven Soles were in the Alpha Band together, and I guess they must've initially been recruited to back Dylan up in the studio, but apparently it didn't work out.

Hard Rain was televised, as in one of the networks had Dylan on prime time TV, IIRC it was live too...

Middle America was drop-jawed at the weirdness quotient and all the druggery evident in their 'poet of a generation' ^TM and it was a huge flop, in ratings at least... the network vowed to never do that again, you know... let a genius have prime time...

Yeah, I'd considered myself a Dylan scholar, but never read about the Kinky thing either, though it doesn't surprise me.

There's a YouTube link in my profile that might shed a little light on that...

And I'll raise you a video of my dad playing with Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson in 1978?

/ahh, no one cares.

Oh yeah, Naked Lunch. Ha. I think I actually remember someone referring to that in a recent thread now that I think about it. Damn college and what it did to my short term memory

Classic.

My parents had to leave from our camping trip at the YMCA of the Rockies to drive down to Ft. Collins to see that concert. Rained the whole time at camp, too.

Dudes. I sat on the floor with my college buddies and watched this concert when it was on TV.

This is my fave version of one of my fave songs, and I have this video inlaid on my startup homepage. Rules.

If you wanna hear Mick Ronson's last record guitar effort go find The WiLDHEARTS "My Baby is a Headf**ck".

Mick Ronson had by far some of the juiciest guitar tone ever.
"Queen B*tch" and "Width of a Circle" are among my favorites.

I seem to recall hearing he used the same Marshall "Blues-Breaker" combo amps that were named after Clapton.

Yeah, this.
And after about ten minutes everyone else left, saying
'what's the big deal? I like Journey better.'

As Grandpa Simpson said: 'We are SOOOOOO OLD...heheheheheh.....'.

mfaby:

Yeah, this.

Well, yeah -- Steve Perry wasn't in Journey then. They hadn't started to suck yet.

Once Bitten Twice Shy (new window)

My dad, Tommy Morrongiello, wearing the sunglasses, playing the explorer. Then there's Tommy Mandel on keyboards, who went on to play with Bryan Adams and now plays piano at The Black Pearl in Manhattan every Friday. Ian Hunter called them "Maddog" and "Moondog". The drummer, Hilly, showed up one night with some MILF and he was either high or his brain is fried.

My dad went on to guitar tech for Dylan for about 15 years and actually got up there and played rhythm guitar a couple songs a night. Pretty cool.

And, Rickenbacker, that's pretty cool that you named your son after Mick and even cooler that you didn't tell your wife for 10 years!

Do you guys know Ellen Foley? FOX.
