    Licking bootleg records before the first playback is far cheaper than one of those record cleaning machines.

    Not necessarily. While miming is not actually playing, a non-musician trying to do it would look ridiculous.

    Upon doing a little research I found this on the Expecting Rain discussions.

    Shadow Kingdom sessions (Los Angeles, 2021)
    The released recordings come from extended sessions that involved different line-ups of musicians. There are bound to be a lot of outtakes. A list of outtakes posted on the Hoffman forum is most likely fake, though.

    That list is probably on this thread somewhere. I still think different musicians were involved with the sessions though.

    I believe that T Bone Burnett made a statement that agrees with you, about a variety of sessions.
    As material for the film may have been drawn from different sessions and players, it is understandable that the film required miming, as is done for nearly all film productions not drawn from actual concerts.

    Yes, I know I heard the sessions went on for awhile and brought in different musicians.

    I also think the style and arrangements are very similar to his current touring band, so would imagine a few of them were part of it. Has Tony Garnier NOT been included on any sessions this century?

    Maybe he was unable to travel to the sessions due to the pandemic

    Known (believed?) to be involved in the studio sessions - though not necessarily on the final cuts - were Don Was, Greg Leisz, Tim Pierce, T. Bone Burnett and Ira Ingber. Jeff Taylor's name comes up, also.


    Tim Pierce spilled some beans on a YT clip:-




    Ira Ingber let a few cats out of the bag from about 28 minutes in during an interview:-

    Episode #753 – Ira Ingber


    Tim Pierce mentions "Masters of War" which was an Ionic sessions song, apparently not repeated for Shadow Kingdom. The SK sessions were distinct from, and after, the Ionic sessions apparently, but most likely recorded in the same undisclosed location in L.A., and may well have featured some of the same musicians. Probably.


    The musicians in the video were identified as: Buck Meek , Alexander Burke, Janie Cowan, Joshua Crumbly, and Shahzad Ismaily.

    I think the point is, who cares? We've been through "It wasn't live" (duh) and other nit-picking etc.
    It's a "movie" really, and a wonderful one. Watched it again yesterday, I just wish it was longer!

    There was probably a lot more filming.

    very odd. Tim Pierce comments on Shadow Kingdom, while Ira Inger comments on Tims video, as if Shadow Kingdom had yet to be released.

    Who cares... me! I think theories, conjecture, and putting the pieces of the puzzle together are one of the reasons we contribute to this conversation. The fact he features a band on film that might've only been part of the sessions or not at all is fascinating to me.

    There was a time when Greenwich Village shops would have been selling 2 CD sets, including outtakes.

    You can argue over whether you like the SK content or not, but contextually it was Bob doing something different and continuing to push the envelope, even at a time when most of the world was treading water. It's one of the reasons that I hold him in such high regard as an an artist.

    Can any other artist match Bob's output over the COVID-19 period?

    Rumor today from a credible source over at Expecting Rain that Shadow Kingdom is coming out in June. Closing credits instrumental is called "Sierra's Theme."

    saw that. i guess an announcement would be really soon.

    wonder if it's just a CD or CD/blu-ray combo? not doing the latter would be a big miss but i don't care as long as we have the audio officially released. SK was cool but i'm not big on music videos or videos of live performances. would always just rather have an official audio release.

    The label could try and boost sales and release it in time for Fathers Day on 18th June. I’d expect an announcement real soon

    Once at time I would have been jumping around the room at this news - as it is I'm more excited about the new Paul Simon album announced today.....

    I guess it was inevitable, but it's good to see an announcement anyway. I've no interest in the video portion, but the music is too good to miss.
