From Tauthal.com:

Dylan then steps up to the mic for a first ever live rendition of the classic Blonde On Blonde track “I Want You.” Unfortunately, his microphone feed failed to synch with the line feed, so we only faintly hear his vocal as leakage from other stage mics picking up vocal monitors on stage. Sadly, the malfunction severely mars what was, in all likelihood, an extremely interesting and enjoyable performance. Things pick up for “The Weight,” which is also loose, but a song everyone in the ensemble knows relatively well. Although Robbie Robertson’s guitar is noticeably absent, Ben Keith does a more than respectable job filling in on pedal steel. (more…)

Donovan & Bob Dylan — Don’t Look Back

bob_dylan_donovanIn a classic scene from Don’t Look Back, Donovan plays a brief ditty, “To Sing For You”. Dylan then feels compelled to bust out one of his recent jewels, in the form of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”.  Who do yo think wins this one up-man ship? At the time Donovan was being touted as England’s answer to Bob Dylan. Personally I think Dylan just shreds Donovan here, and it seems to show on his face.

Funny Friday — Louis C.K.

louisforjokesThis guys always cracks me up. Here’s talking about something that is very familiar to both me and my wife, hitting a deer. Not intentionally or for sport, just crossing the road, nailling a deer and smashing your car in the process. (NSFW)
