Bob Dylan - Fixin' to Die
[www.youtube.com]

Absolutely ferocious delivery by the young Dylan making a very heavy mark for himself early on.
And all the rest of the world pretty shortly thereafter.
Aside from being a riveting and rocking solo Folk music performance,
it is refreshing for me to hear this. My mind, as a rock and roll fan,
meandered immediately to Bob's earliest performance ever, while still
in High School in Minnesota, pounding on the piano and screaming
a Little Richard in the Auditorium, to an unappreciative student body.
In these hopefully longer Winter years of the Never Ending Tour,
and all the contemporary cultural acceptance with White House appearance
and International Literary prizes, and all the long fascinating and
diverse artistry leading to performances of standards etc...
i like the raw reminder of what I hope is eternally appreciated,
and that I wish would be more diversely distributed and promoted to more contemporary generations and decades of pop music fans...
this is like raw river gold or something, in it's purity.
i appreciate the op to even share it here.

I just listened to Keith doing Gimme Shelter at the Apollo and... ugh.

Hey Hoppy …. Check out da original

his other 40's recording …. out there where the soul of a man is laid bare ….

Shania Twain quoted this month, January 2019.
She's been in the game a long time now,
and started supporting her family singing in bars in Canada
while still elementary school age....anyway, most here will ignore
any pop country artists, especially one that hit so long ago.
The AC/DC producer she was married to really had some triumphant
releases with here back in the early 2000's...
She's a guilty pleasure for me, coming up with such
faux-americana glitz but it works for me... lol...
and there's this form a recent Today Show interview on NBC television in the States.

"The country singer has not only met a ton of stars, she's witnessed countless concerts, too. If she had to pick her favorite concert, she says it would have to be the Rolling Stones.
'Best concert I ever went to was a Stones concert. What tops that? In Cuba,' she shares."

The Beatles - Rain

WOW! Thats a pleasant surprise to me.
One of my all time Beatles fav.
Alas, it's not included in one of the better compilations of the Fab 4.
Of course I still have the '45 single "Paperback Writer/Rain".

Interesting to stumble across.
i saw them when they were promoting this first eponymous album, their only LP at the time.
But I stumbled on to this after listening to some recent Page interviews.

some of this is the most powerful soaring truly heaviest stompingest
crazy-ass shit you'd ever hope to hear. the new yardbirds blowing
several fuses at once, then exploding most of the rest of whatever city...
i saw 'em when this was their only lp...
check out the warmup then into the Lead version on Communication Breakdown.
or the call and response jimmy to robert in How Many...
then the way Bonzo stomps through all that...
this is loose, free, confident, soaring...their grand LEGACY
yet to manifest...but this imo is pretty much why it deserves it's
earned, conquering reputation that would take them to headline
the biggest rooms the entire first half of the 70's...
to think how quickly this album was recorded; october 68 and it came
out pretty quickly...the flippin' Yardbirds were still officially together
as late as July 1968, and here comes the new ones boy...

yikes this is intense stuff;

they are a total UNIT, this is like 'jazz' or something..

it'a so 'out there' relative to The Yardbirds, and also, to most
everything that had come before it..

nothing sounded this heavy. ever..
ever before. maybe an earthquake destroying a mountain, i'm not sure...
...
...maybe Jeff Beck in his sleep; he had Ronnie and Rod, fair enough
he didn't have Bonzo; omg Bonzo; this is unbelievably intense stuff.
they were "meaning" it; totally;
you can hear them 'going for it'
like in
How Many More Times,
you can hear a club audience just applauding
after a section of it....it's pretty unique...

i've really got to be in the right mood for zep; but these performances represent a freshness and vitality and very super genuine 'presence' with one another....bla bla you know me...
but this blew me away all over again about them...
they give it totally 100%. they are wanting and needing you to hear this...
they were hungry and hot and exploding...
sometimes when i sorta gently diss '75 and the big thretrical movie,
(that IS cool. the song remains the same concerts thing...
but in my memor4y and nervous system I'm remembering THIS band.,
promoting that first album; not headlining; wanting to...
about to...
i don't know the locations yet, but wanted to share the find,
i'm sorry if this is aleady been noted here by a Zep fan..
i don't listen to them all that much, but am today...
and loving the uniqueness of this original young act;
i can't believe the power...it's astounding...astounding...
yeh yeh i'm a roller; i 'get it' but not intended to ompare
with a totally difrerent approach to the american idiom;
as well as interpretation; zep not a rhythm band anyway...

whaddya think?

Of course I still have the '45 single "Paperback Writer/Rain".

It's included on Past Masters Volume II. My older brother had the original single back in the day, and we listened to it all the time (along with all the Beatles records), but it must have been lost in the sands of time.
I still do have the original Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane double A-side though - I have vivid memories as a young toddler of being spooked by the end part of Strawberry Fields!

Here's what John Lennon had to say about Rain in 1980:

"I got home from the studio and I was stoned out of my mind on marijuana and, as I usually do, I listened to what I'd recorded that day. Somehow I got it on backwards and I sat there, transfixed, with the earphones on, with a big hash joint. I ran in the next day and said, 'I know what to do with it, I know... Listen to this!' So I made them all play it backwards. The fade is me actually singing backwards with the gutars going backwards. [Singing backwards] Sharethsmnowthsmeaness... [Laughter] That one was the gift of God, of Jah, actually, the god of marijuana, right? So Jah gave me that one".

looks like they used The Shindogs (house band for Shindig TV show in the 60's) for this hot performance.
That would be instead of Ike and the Revue,
who were tremendous and still together with her at this time.
The organ is unexpected and kinda cool tho I love the balls and excitement
of Ike's band. The Kings of Rhythm.
Gosh wonder if Bill ever heard em.
;-)
enjoy soul sister supreme. Mick's pal and inspiration on the NA tour
50 years ago this summer. I am seriously doubting Mick isn't very
well aware of how she modified her moves and performance as the
many decades turned, seemingly forever keeping her ability to
really rock it up gloriously.
do NOT like her latter day pop hits that sold so well post Ike however.
especially that 'we don't need another hero' stuff.
sorry to be critical of one of the absolute Great singers
and Movers ever...but fans here will understand.

gawd she rocks so good
