But this sounds like a corker. Those ladies could give Trio a run for their money (and I wish that supergroup of Dolly and Linda and Emmylou would record more). The best thing about your blog today? You can talk about great stuff and show it to us immediately. Makes writing about music a whole lot more fun.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-36641422803646138502008-10-20T04:46:00.000-07:002008-10-20T04:46:00.000-07:00HEY TK!!Thanks for the note and the anniversary wi...HEY TK!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the note and the anniversary wishes. There were so many great moments from that Bob celebration. 16 years later and I still remember little details--where Al Kooper was positioned, how Richie Havens held his guitar, Johnny Winter going berserk. It was all so good.Sal Nunziatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221629293545204260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-14387252150872500262008-10-19T17:50:00.000-07:002008-10-19T17:50:00.000-07:00Hey Sal,Thanks for the memories!

I was working at PBS at the time, and we presented that show on the TV a month later (remember, it was also a pay-per-view?) and one of the most treasured pieces of other-wise bulky and obnoxious VHS tapes I own are the rough-cuts of the PBS sequence of that show, burned in time code and all (we put in black spots where pledge breaks would be, etc).<BR> I too LOVED those ladies performing "You Ain't Going Nowhere," and in my mind, I fantasized about them sometime in a future where I get my musical way, performing Bruce Springsteen's "Factory" with each of them representing a wife of that Everyman Factory guy...<BR> I think for me, the biggest suprise was that Mellencamp didn't need to consult his teleprompter to sing "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat." Nearest and dearest to me was George Harrison's fragile "Abosultely Sweet Marie," with his famous stagefright overcome only by his love of Bob.<BR><BR>Congratulations on 15 years of wedded bliss!<BR>Theresa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13814418932768385842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-90102836915259298622008-10-17T17:13:00.000-07:002008-10-17T17:13:00.000-07:00Sal,We were there also, Oh " Such A Night "......R...Sal,<BR/>We were there also, Oh " Such A Night "......Robbie was not there as Levon's " to the death " feud " with him was ongoing.....<BR/>Excellent job with your Burning Wood.......Meanstreetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794248675753902725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-9358956402559940592008-10-16T05:30:00.000-07:002008-10-16T05:30:00.000-07:00You know Dan, I remember being hypnotized by Haven...You know Dan, I remember being hypnotized by Havens' guitar playing. I can also remember scrambling for a copy of "Richard P. Havens, 1983" which at the time was out of print, thanks to brilliant performance.Sal Nunziatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221629293545204260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-36798109445827941072008-10-16T05:27:00.000-07:002008-10-16T05:27:00.000-07:00Sal, thanks for the reminder of that great evening...Sal, thanks for the reminder of that great evening. <BR/><BR/>My favorite moment that night was Richie Havens. Alone on stage with his guitar he managed to bring the entire Garden to total silence when he played "Just Like A Woman."<BR/><BR/>There were so many fantastic performers that night. I peg Bob's personal resurgence as a performer to his experience on stage. Could it be a coincidence, after seeing his buddies Eric, Neil, George and Tom ripping up the stage, that Bob began playing much better guitar, fronting a better band, and beginning a ten year run of superb performances?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
