This sounds like a highly embellished story...wouldn't somebody on the board have recollection of this event? It wasn't that long ago.Quote

Anyone know why if true Dylan was pissed off.

Palace Revolution 2000Here you go GasLighter; yes it's a Crowes thread, but any chance I get to reference this song by the Truckers I will take. It's 9 minutes but for me it could go on another 20.[youtu.be] (Sorry link didnt make it the 1st time)Quote

They had the sound, but (for the most part) not the songs. Last time I saw them live was opening for the Stones: Horrible, self-indulgent, overlong & boring jams for the most part. If they want to reunite for some decent cash, let 'em. But I could not care less.
That's a shame.
I know of other acts/artists that have done similar - it blows my mind that they can take a good, 2-3 minute song and slowly bury it with a 15 minute soundless mindless "jam"... because Grateful Deading things is apparently cool.
i went to one crazy horse show where neil was in jammy mode. the show is the one in year of the horse in the monsoon, neil vs God. every song was 15 - 20 minutes long. at one point the buddy i was with turned to me & said "you know, neil could've ended this song 10 minutes ago & everyone would've been happy".
I saw Dr John at Tipitina's (in New Orleans) years ago and... I almost fell asleep: every song sounded the same, he never looked at the crowd, it seemed as if he was falling asleep and... the songs went on forever, plodding and prattling along by being by-the-numbers funk... just borrrrrrrrring.
I left not even halfway through the show.
The Drive-By Truckers can get a bit jammy but they screw up a lot and keep it fun.
if you ever get a chance to see the dimmer twins, do it. patterson & mike from dbt. the between song patter & stories are hilarious. mike is downright surly haha. it gets better as the show goes along & the alcohol is more of a factor.
Oh I've seen DBT a few times... and I've hung out with them a few times. Great band, great people.

Great to see the brothers again, but this version of the BC's is just too watered down for my taste. Especially the new drummer doesn't add anything that I always liked so much about the Crowes, which was the swing, the roll in the rock.

the real tragedy in this from what i've read is it is the end of the magpie salute. i was really liking that band. great original songs & great covers. maybe if this stiffs they will get back together.

I liked them, but felt the singer was totally unnecessary and not very good.
Marc f'n Ford is awesome.

They have no songs. I listened a lot to their albums and still can’t distinguish the songs. They’re all great players, but fail to write some decent tunes.
I always was a Rich supporter, but if I’m honest I love Chris’ solo career much more. I love nearly all his albums. Rich only made one good one (The Ceaseless Sight).

Too bad there's not a CONTEXT button for me to push so you can fathom some things.
Goddamn, what a joke.

I agreed with Rollingfreak; great interview. Steve Gorman is very articulate.Quote

Was a pretty cool interview with Steve Gorman. I'm sure he has his own host of problems (can't imagine anyone in any band is blameless with things), and I can question his reasons for staying in the band literally the whole time when it was apparently complete torture, but its definitely interesting to hear him speak about all that stuff and their history. Seems like a cool guy:
