    Threw this on the turntable this morning. I find myself listening to the acoustic set of this over and over. It's so intimate and the sound is incredible, his vocalizing is so intense and the crowd is quiet.

    Fallen Angels is still the winner for me among the 3 "Frank" albums. I find FA somewhat lighter in tone overall than the other two, with its jauntier tempos requiring fewer held notes from Uncle Bob & creating an almost Jimmy Durante vibe. Fun for all ages!

    I LOVE this album. And I don't own a copy of my own. I gotta get one.

    Lately it's been the live 1966 box set. Tonight when I prepare meals and things for the weekend and next week I'll be playing 5-7-65 at Free Trade Hall - best acoustic set from that tour in my opinion.

    I play at least one disc from it on 'random' in the late evening before sitting down to watch "Deadwood" with a Rye & water.
    It's become an evening ritual for about a week now.
    There's something really comforting about this album...

    I forgot about this one from the Hearts of Fire soundtrack, with Eric Clapton and Ron Wood.

    Can't wait for my CD copy to arrive this weekend. Do you also have "Royal Albert Hall" show? If so, how do they compare for you?

    I've only ever heard it in MP3 format and I find the vinyl of the Real RAH much warmer and so a nicer listen. I haven't really compared the actual quality of the shows, but I don't think they are signicantly different.

    Disc 2 of Triplicate has been my regular Bob rotation recently. I only bought the album last week, gave it one run through in full, and found that it's a much more rewarding experience to take it one disc at a time. I particularly enjoy the interplay between the instruments in instances like the start of PS I Love You.

    On the whole, I think this album is a high point of Dylan's songbook phase.

    I've been revisiting the great Time Out of Mind, as it has been selected for this week's Weakest Link thread.

    I heard it in the 80s or 90s as a standup bit. Setup - "So you hear about all these bands getting back together and going out on tour. The Rolling Stones are doing it. The Who are doing it. And you know I heard something amazing - I hear Bob Dylan is getting back together".
    I'm here every night folks. Two shows a night.

    Thanks, I'll be sure to re-circlate it. I was looking for Dylan jokes, ones that aren't anti Dylan, it's unfortunately harder than you would think...

    Released on this day in 1986...

    "Band of the Hand is a rare single that I produced for him in Australia. He did it for a movie. I got told about it on the plane. We were landing in Sydney, and he came back and said, “I’ve got to do this session tonight, could you produce it?” So I really hit the ground running in Sydney, and had to book a studio and find gear, because our gear was somewhere else. And get The Heartbreakers in. And we did a track, and we worked pretty hard on it. We worked most of the night on the song." - Tom Petty

    Got John Wesley Harding on CD today, which I've been listening to on Amazon Music multiple times over the past few weeks.

    I too listened to Time Out of Mind for the relevant thread. I might give it another go.

    Before that it was some time with Hard Rain, and the definitive Idiot Wind...
