Nice video, apart from the French commentators talking gossip during the solo, that is -.- Always lots of fun to see Page handle his guitar, I adore his playing a lot and besides, I think the girl's voice fits nicely (Plant sounds "female" enough, so she didn't have a hard job) ;-)

Maybe Iceland deserves our support, but France is making some extraordinary goals right now. Nice match!

Lol, now really... there's nothing over-nationalistic about posting one (!) photo and the final score of the match. If at all, I see a greater danger here in becoming over-pedantic just because some guys here celebrate the success of fellow countrymen.

I think this article is very well known. I read it shortly after I bought the Modern Times album about two years ago. I think it's very well written and the author certainly got a point here. It's obvious that Dylan is geared to the title of his 2001 album love and theft as he strongly adopts influences (and songs) from those before him, who had a strong influence on him. This is not

QuoteAdrian-L Apparently, during the show on the 8th, the following little event occurred – "Kimball drew the ire of the bandleader in “Summer Days” when Dylan left his keyboard to give him some face-to-face instructions, evidently about his volume level. Later, when Dylan introduced the band, he said “Stu Kimball on guitar…at least I think that’s Stu Kimball…” Interesting! I remember abo

Interesting! Marius has made some really really great music! I love his 70s/80s (most notably "Pfefferminz", "Dicke", "Johnny W." and so on and so forth) and most of his 90s stuff! Those were the days when he also was a fantastic live performer and filled whole stadiums. Unfortunately it seems to me that he became rather snobbish and conceited from the end of

Those of you who have access to Dime should have a look at Tom Thumb's Blues from Rock in Rio which was broadcasted in Spanish television! Consequently the video has a very good quality and, what is more, it shows Dylan directly from the front during the whole song, which is a rather rare thing to see. You can also see how the communication between the band members works on stage with Bob
