that's funny, Boone. I was asking myself, "who's James Patrick?"
Jimmy Page. I remember seeing them at the Arena. Tix were $5...
Great recall on ticket prices, Keefe (note the memorabilia section).

Ok, memory is starting to fail...$4.50! You could drink all night at the Lanche then hit Real Chili for $5 back in the day...
Thanks for posting, John
40 years on and only .50 cents off. Looks like you attended a great show, Dan.

Brings to mind a Peanuts cartoon from 43 or so years ago. In the first frame Linus tells Charlie Brown "Bob Dylan turned 30 today". Frame two they both stare straight ahead. In frame three Charlie say to Linus "That's the most depressing thing I've ever heard". Maybe 70 is the new 30.

Blood on the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde, Highway 61 should be in every personal library. A dominant influence for an entire generation.

I agree wholeheartedly but I'd also add The Freewheelin and Nashville Skyline to that list.
Blood on the Tracks is perhaps the greatest album of all time by an artist not named The Beatles.
I also think Bob's live stuff is up there with the best ever

Nashville is unique and it introduced Lay Lady Lay, probably Dylan's most emotionally versatile composition. Nashville was a harbinger of Dylan's chameleon-like ability to re-present himself in exciting new ways. Not sure it rivals Blood, Blonde, or Highway, though. I would put Desire before Nashville.
my dad is always listening to dylan.
Keefe and Bleuteux,
I would agree that Freewheelin' make the short list with Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde and Blood on the Tracks. Like Desire and Nashville Skyline, but I might put them behind Love and Theft and Modern Times.

I also enjoyed his collaboration with Johnny Cash.

Bringing It All Back Home. Personally, I prefer the version on Hard Rain with the Rolling Thunder Revue. Maggie's Farm is notorious for Dylan going electric at Newport in '65. Richie Havens also does a great cover version.
Still vividly recall the older kids in my neighborhood lamenting one lazy summer afternoon in the early '70s that some members of the Monkees were now 30.
Speaking of Dylan, am I off base, or did his 'The Man in Me' get a 2nd life after the Big Lebowski came out? Such a great song.

Yes, and wasn't another great Dylan song ("Things have Changed") only later on a greatest hits album or some such thing after being in "The Wonder Boys" with Michael Douglas?

Yeah. That is one played a lot at home. There is a live one that has half the show electric half acoustic. Where the crowd taunts him. I like that one. My dad kind of made me listen to a lot of stuff telling me how good it was suppose to be. Some I actually end up liking. I like the Band. And the kinks. Two bands he turned me on to.

I still listen everyday to The Band. Basement Tapes, The Band, and Big Pink registered a seismic shift in style and production from where the rest of the rock genre was moving. The Band impacted the music of artists as diverse as The Beatles to one of my favorites, Neko Case of Seattle.
Two of the best live cuts recorded are from The Last Waltz. Their cover of Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love with The Hawk and Tura, Lura, Lura - Caravan with Van Morrison are epic tributes. I know they attempted comebacks in the years after The Last Waltz but Robbie Robertson's absence left it a bit hollow.

I know you like Tom Waits so you might want to give Neko Case a listen. I really do think you will like her. She is powerfully expressive in both verse and voice and is likely one of the most experimental artists out there today. I think she could be wildly popular if she were to go mainstream but that is something her artistic integrity would never allow. Let me know what you think.

Not sure if it's intentional or not, but you sound exactly like American Psycho's Patrick Bateman when you write about music. No value judgement, just an observation.
You guys should check out Tame Impala's albums "Lonerism" and "Innerspeaker" and Foxygen's "We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic."

Neko Case is up for a few Grammys this year. I know she isn't particularly mainstream, but she is well known.

Perhaps my favorite Dylan recording ever. Especially like his "Tangled up in Blue" and "Visions of Johanna" on that

First, when I saw the heading, I thought Page had died. Damn you.
2nd, how did this go from 2 posts about Page and Zep to a bob dylan circle jerk? You guys must all hang out with Dr Naylor and listen to dylan in the brew bayou. (His History of R&R class should have been titled History of Bob Dylan and The Velvet Underground.)

Yeah that is it. I like that!
In 2000 and 2001 (I think) I walked out on two shows Dylan was the headliner. Maybe he was good in person in his prime; he was brutal a decade ago.
so young guys don't do this anymore?

Also Robbie had some great solo stuff - especially Music for Native Americans.

Who is this Bob Dylan of whom you speak?
Love Jeff Beck...never uses a pick...doesn't sing...doesn't need to when he can make his guitar sing like that. Too bad Page and Beck couldn't have played together longer in the Yardbirds.
Melissa, guessing this song is obviously a personal favorite?

Heard that Beck is a pretty hard guy to play/get along with. Had issues with rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood in their group as well. And never lasted long with anyone he played with.
Wonder how many others besides him have been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice.

Loved Beck. His Yardbirds work established him but I personally most appreciated his collaboration with Jan Hammer. Wired and Live are classics. My favorite Beck album is Blow by Blow. I only have that in vinyl and the B&O is in storage so I need to get it in digits.
Read the same thing about Beck having a prickly, flaky personality. Beck also turns 70 this year. Read awhile ago that he wants to retire at that age, so he's been working more than usual...trying to cram in as many projects and collaborations as possible (currently touring w/Brian Wilson) before hanging up that well-worn Fender Strat for good. Hope he reconsiders. The man hasn't lost anything off his fastball.
Page comes to mind, as one who was inducted twice.

My bad. If Beck is in twice cuz once was from the Yardbirds, obviously it would be that Page is in twice. And I'm guessing that would make it 3 times for Clapton.
Lots of people are inducted multiple times...
Stephen Stills was inducted twice in the same year, 1997, for Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Still and Nash.

After guessing at 2-time inductees, I took a look at your link. Had most of them except for some of the old do-wop and R&B guys. Also didn't realize Harrison was in as a solo artist though he was deserving after All Things Must Pass.

I think Harrison is underrated in some ways and deserves mention as a solo artist.
I scrolled through the list of inductees and was disappointed to see that Milwaukee's Daryl Stuermer was not mentioned as a member of Genesis. Stuermer played bass and guitar for Sweet Bottom, a Milwaukee Band back in the day at Sardino's Bull Ring. Stuermer was discovered at Sardino's by Zappa and ended up joining Jean Luc Ponty with Zappa keyboardist George Duke. He then joined Genesis and stayed with Phil Collins in various iterations over the years. Sweet Bottom often played at the Mug Rack.
