This site works a *lot* better than the old netcom one, I must say.
Makes for a much less frustrating experience.
Ross Whitwam
Hi! I have been Netscape-less for a couple of weeks, and just dropped
by. Like your background, seem to recognize it somewhat.. I was looking
at Ben's and your site for a transcription of the Cynthia Gooding interview
from Folksinger's Choice. I saw it not. Might be a project for someone
some time..
Karl Erik Andersen
Hallo Why dont you put some QuickTime clips of Zim on Here for Mac
men.? I would love an EMail if you know where i can obtain a video of Renaldo
and Clara!!
david@cradduck.demon.co.uk
Ps. Great page.
John- You probably realize this: your setlist for the 11/17 Unplugged
show omits "Broken" as song #6 in the set, following "Hazel". Have you
received a copies of the shows yet? Let me know if you would like them.

i found your concert tour recording page today, ( I have previously
been a fan of your home page), the concert page is a great help to those
of us who are knew to collecting tapes and boot CD's.

John, I have only been on the Net for a couple of weeks, I think I
tried to access your pages from the address on the HWY61CD-ROM but it was
an old address, finally got through from a link from Karl Erik's page.
Liked the stuff on Tarantula, films, interviews etc. - the kind of stuff
I like to read! I have been taking a look at rmd and your name seems to
come up quite often lately??? I don't really know what this 'feud' is about,
would you care to explain? I think all the links between various pages
are good, and can only help people seeking information and "relief" from
serious Dylan disabilities ... Keep up the good work .... Tricia J

I found your web site through a mention of another site (Tangled Up
In Jews) in the dylan newsgroup. I'm glad to find all I can about Bob,
so I think your site is great -- I am relatively new and I would be interested
in doing something like this. Any refs or hints on how to set up a home
page etc.? Either way, "keep on keepin' on"
Bill Ward
I very much like this site. I found out about this site from the mailings
list available from MIT.
How I found out about this really uncool page: Reading thru the rec.music.dylan
or whatever that newsgroup is called, I got to some of your posts with
the http ... in the signature. So I went to have a look. What I'm looking
for is a site where I can download the Dylan lyrics. Can that be done anywhere?
Cheers,

Just keep going, bring more stuff on Dylan to this page. Everyone should
learn about Dylan.
Mr. Howells, Hi there. Nice looking page! I've had a couple of difficulties
with it, though: 1. The page takes a *very* long time to load, for those
of us who are getting by with 14.4 connections and don't have a "direct"
net connection. 2. My browser doesn't support tables (which aren't part
of HTML 2.0, I believe), so I can't get at any of the neat stuff listed
in the table section of your page. Wish I could! Thanks for listening ...

In 1966, while I was a student at the California College of Arts and
Crafts, I had the opportunity to photograph Dylan, Michael McClure and
Allen Ginsberg outside of City Lights. I was twenty-one at the time and
living with my parents in Walnut Creek. When the time came to leave for
the photo session, my mother said, "You haven't finished mowing the lawn."
"But mom," I pleaded, "I'm going to photograph Bob Dylan!" "I don't care
if you're going to photograph the Pope, buster, get out there and finishing
mowing the lawn." I finished the lawn and made the session. A full page
photo of that session appears in the liner notes on "Biograph." Nothing
but the best, Dale Smith

Excellent page - I'll be back to browse at length! 'Saw Bob last night
in Little Rock - my second show here and the better of the two. Bob was
EXCELLENT - voice in very good form, and in a good mood from all signs.
'Did an acoustic Tambourine Man that brought tears to my eyes. Much other

Unplugged set. Anyway, thanks for your trouble with the page - I'll check

I am searching for a Dylan song that I do not know the name of. I've
heard it before, but cannot recall any of the words. I do know that my
future son-in-law is wanting it to have the words calligraphied for his
first born son.
Does that give any clue to the name of the song? I can't ask him because
I could not surprise him with it.
Help if you can.
Thanks.

Does anyone have the complete lyrics of "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie"?
This poem can be heard on the three disc set, "Bootlegs". The set can be
bought in the stores, so it is fairky common. This is the most incredible
lyrical feat I have ever heard, unrivaled by even Dylan himself. I would
really appreciate if anyone could help me.

John, I'm new to the 'net but not to Dylan. I've been a fan since '67,
have listened exhaustively to all the commercial recordings, and have seen
a number of live shows since my first in Philadelphia (Jan. 1974--drove
all night from Pgh. to get there). My first attempt to use the internet
was to search "Dylan" and entered rmd newsgroup and downloaded FAQ, which
is where I found your name and address. FAQ then referenced this web page,
and here I am. I still to much of a novice to critique you page, but I
must say it's pretty exciting, having been a "closet" fan for so long,
to find this world with so many other fans and so much info. I feel quite
greatful that you've put in the effort to organize this info. Thanks much.
Tom Lace
Great page. I found it using Yahoo. I do have one question, though.
I'm looking for some information on the city and venue of some recordings
of Dylan concerts in '95 (6/15 and 6/24 to be specific). If you know of
any way to find this info, please get back to me. thanks a lot, and keep
up the good work!

Hi, there,
Later,
I have a friend that is obsessed with dylan, he got me into listening
to him and i like him and his lyrics, but i'm not quite obsessed, nor will
i ever be. anyways, dylan has actually some actual content in his work(s).
i don't have alot of music with actual meaning in it. i listen to his lyrics
as carefully as i can to see what he's trying to get across. i was just
wondering if you could get more of his lyrics put on the net. i would like
to actually read what he sings and analyze it. thanks...

I have Bob Dylan's Freewheelin (vinyl) it is still in plastic. Wondered
if it is worth anything. Bought it ata garage sale for $5.00.
Does anyone on this site want to buy it? Is there a page that collectors
hang out for Dylan stuff?
I collect Beatles and Kingsmen items, just saw the album and figured
what the heck.
John: I have a copy of the Berkeley Dec.4 1965 Berkeley Community Theatre
tape, but it only contains the electric set. Do you know if tapes or cds
of the full show (i.e., acoustic and electric) exist out there somewhere.
I'm not asking you to locate them for me, just asking if you know if a
tape of the complete show has been reported.

John:
I just looked at your new review page and it's great. I came across
your Web site two years ago and it led me to a complete copy of 'The Genuine
Basement Tapes' which still after nearly 30 years sound fabulous. Your
new comments about TGBT's certainly rings true to me. I've heard that there
may be about 50 more basement songs somewhere. Any confirmation on these?
Also, I expect to receive in the next day or so a copy of the recently
released "Guitar Kissing & The Contemporary Fix". I've had a vinal
copy of "Zimmerman: Looking Back from the Royal Albert Hall" since 1967.
Susposedly, this 2CD set has one acoustic and one electric session. Do
you know if the acoustic one is the same as was on the vinal?

I found your site after downloading software to run CD Links from Voyager.
I did everything they said to do and have the hardware,etc. they said I
needed but it didn't work. Enjoy what I see of your Dylan site; haven't
seen him since 8-29-94 at Michigan State Fair. He's still kicking and if
he never writes another word no one will ever top him.

Rock on. Very rarely do you find cool people like yourself who love
Bob enough to give him a sort of shrine via internet. I'd even like to
see more, like maybe soundbites of some of his reare and relatively unknown
stuff. For example, maybe some audio files of "No More Auction Block" from
The Gaslight in Greenwich Village, or "Ramblin' Gamblin' Willie. Anyway,
thanks for contributing to the memory of the greatest performer and stylist
of the century.

It's been a while since I visited your page, but it's changed a bit

Bob Dylan FAQ pages, which I reached from the Mammoth Music Meta-List.

I searched Lycos for Bob Dylan and went right to Ragged Clown where
I found the link to you. I am impressed with your integrity, your dedication
to Dylan and your finess with the web design. Great job.
As fo rmyself I am a fifty one year old web surfer. I saw Dylan first
live in Seattle in 1964 with Joan Baez. I have seen him in concert a few
other times. The most recent about ten years ago with the Dead in Eugene.
That was special.
I don't like big concerts much. Have most of Dylan's music to listen
to at home.
Thank you for your energy.
Peace, mac
I'm very happy ,becouse I found this site.

hello i was refered to your site while browsing in a book store (barnes
& noble)some internet book of music sites? well i just have one question,
i've been trying to get it answered for some time now it's "what song is
bob playing on the piano in the movie don't look back , right after the
store front guitar window scene where bob says "we don't have those kind
of guitars in the states." soon after he's in a little smokey room with
a black guy, bob's banging away on this little piano mumbling some type
of very appealing gospel number, but also very hard to hear exactly. do
you know what i'm talking about? if so, do you know what song it is?

The article about the Basement tapes is fascinating. Just as a historical
perspective in 1967 I was in my final year at grammar school in England.
I had a good friend who had gone to university a year ahead of me in London.
He returned home....and here the problem starts, because I don't know when
this was. Before 'great white wonder certainly. Maybe early 1968, or even
Chriatmas 1967. Anyway he had purchased, for £20 which was then a
fortune (l.p.s were £5) an acetate in a plain brown cover. It was
the first bootleg I had ever seen ! He bought it from under the counter
in a record shop on Carnaby st. from a guy who knew he was a Dylan fan.
It contained 12 of the 14 original basement tape songs. Not Tiny Montgomery
and Lo and Behold but the other 12. I omly mention this because it sort
of proves that great white wonder was preceeded as a bootleg by something
else available to the public at a price with the basement tapes on. Certainly
he was not connected with the publishing business and had no access that
way. It's just that I've never heard or read about this acetate anywhere
else but it was on sale in London.
cheers

hi,
aarno
I figured I would finally, after months of delay, send you a little
message saying how much I've appreciated the work you've done on this site...
it has been very informative and, above all, very interesting. The Bringing
it All Back Home Page has been on my hotlist for months on end. Just a
word of encouragement for a fellow Dylan fan...
On a side note, I heard a rumor that Dylan will be releasing a new CD
this summer. Maybe called Have You Seen Dignity?, something like that.
Is there any truth to this? If you could send me a quick note telling me
what you've heard I would be very appreciative.
Keep it up,
Looks good. I'll be back.
Marq
As the master himself has said, "People don't do what they believe
in, they just do what's most convenient and then they repent". Well,I believe
in Dylan's lyrics and music. He's said that he's dined with kings and he's
been offered wings, but he's never been too impressed. I think he wrote
that before the wonderful medium of the internet came to be...Wouldn't
you agree?
Mitchell Jessie
It's been a while since I listened to that Golden Throats tape you
made for me so long ago so I was very pleased to hear once again WS's radical
(is there any other word?) interpretation of Dylan's masterwork. Of course
to breathe new life into a song that was already perfect required a depth
of artistic courage which Mr. Shantner knew only too well, having plumbed
those depths many times in his various artistic outings. The final screaming
rage into which he falls in fadding moments of the song speak volumes about
his state of mind during the session and nicely prefigures the anger that
we were going to see erupt during the last few years of the 70's as punk
music. Thanks again for providing a taste of this landmark artistic event
for all to sample.

Looks like a good site. I found it while searching for stuff on Hibbing,
Minnesota. I was going to Hibbing JC when Bob was a senior in HS. I havn't
really looked around to see if anyone has written much about things I know
he was interested in then ('cause we talked about things a few times in,
as I recall, his English teacher's class) and I also remember him being
with some friends and my sister at a cabin on a lake north of Hibbing.
Anyway, I will poke around and see what I find....
Richard Lake
I think this web page is an excellent idea! Perhaps you could include
a section where readers could describe personal experiences from past Dylan
concerts . You could select the ones that you find to be particularly interesting
! I, for one, would look forward to some personal insights.

Love the Web site. Keep up the good work!!
Very good site indeed!
Saw Dylan in Stockholm recently. Very good and very long concert (2
hours). Can't think of anything to say now really (it's early morning here
in Sweden...).
I'll be back some other time with (hopefully) interesting comments...
Found this page thru a "beat-site"...
Hejdå!!!
Hi John! Your site is very impressive. It´s easy to see that
you´ve put a lot of work into it. But with all due respect why have´nt
you yet mentioned anything about ´Feeling Minnesota´, the ´Jimmie
Rodgers tribute´, ´Stormy season´, the upcoming Jimmy
Hendrix and Woody Guthrie tribute concert´s in one of your feature´s?
But I guess you should be able to sleep since no other site´s
I know of have mentioned anything about any of this either.
All the best wishes John & you can be positive about me droping
by once in awhile. Thanx for existing.
Your´s truly sion. 27 august 1996.
I am very impressed with your Dylan web page, and I am greatful for
the fact that you obviously appreciate Bob and his music, and that you
apparently have a lot of spare time to devote to this project. Your hard
work and dedication to fact, I commend. Keep up the good work!
I was walking by a pawn shop once and saw Dylan in the front window
playing a drum set. I went inside to say something to him but when I approached
he went into a coughing fit that lasted about a minute. I split.
Nice site-- keep it up.

everyone focuses on dylan's past. historical archives are essential,
but how about what the old pop poet rocker is doing these days? Current

hey! This site is the coolest. Being a new Dylan fan (of age 16) I
found this a great place to get more info, pics, etc. Well done! I enjoyed
the misheard lyrics section I was actually singing some of them (especially
that line from 'Just Like a Woman', that's a tricky one!). Ok, keep up
the good work, and keep publishing those fantastic pictures!

For your info re how people found this site: I was surfing thru the
Literary Menagerie site from the U of Miss and I clicked Allen Ginsburgs
name. The name Bob Dylan was in the body of text, so being a long time
fan of Dylan, I couldn't resist hot linking over to your site. It looks
very kewl and interesting. Looking forward to going thru your site.

Information no one probably knows:
Bob just received a nomination for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Oddly
enough, his friend, Eric Anderson (the musician) who lives in Oslo, had
been asked to perform at the awards ceremony this year before B. knew he
was nominated.
His tours are arranged very last minute which is why it is hard to get
advance information. The publicity is minimal and sometime the tours are
arranged in a week's time.
Bob occasionally peruses the net and has seen the stuff out there about
him.

I have been reading on the BEAT-L subscriber group the last two days
about the rumor concerning Bob Dylan winning the upcoming Nobel Prize for
literature. Any confirmation of this? Thanks,
Dave Breithaupt
Folks or Folkies,
My interest and preference probably are aimed further back than Bob
Z. Dylan. I never understood wild enthusiasm about his rough voice but
sometimes poetic lyrics. I gather he liked Dylan Thomas' works enough to
appropriate his name; Thomas had a wondrous voice and delivery plus evocative
topics. Further, and for what it's worth, I think early Joan Baez recordings,
pre-Zimmerman, were better than later, as if their mixing lowered the purity
and beauty of her work.
It all seems remote now. I still seek the early gold. Maybe this is
a voice in the wilderness.

I didn't understand something in your commentary on the Genuine Basement
Tapes. Is the version of Quinn the Eskimo on Greatest Hits not the pre-Biograph
version from the Basement Tapes Sessions?

from the Isle of Wight that previously appeared on "Self Portrait" - JH]
Dear sir or madam;
Can I ask you for some advice/help? I am doing a report for a class
on the similarities between Bob Dylan and Ice Cube. I think that there
are many similarities between the two; they are both spokesman for their
generations, and they both let the listening public know their views in
a poetic form.
Do you know anything about Ice Cube? Do you think that you may be able
to help me in any way? You seem to be an expert on the distinguished Mr.
Dylan so I figure you might be a good interview for my paper.
Thanx for ANY input you can give to me;

I found your Dylan-site through a Norwegian free copy computer-magazine
called "Datamagasinet". One of the journalists recommended this and another
site called "Expecting Rain" http://www.expectingrain.com/ I haven`t checked out the
other Dylan sites, but I like Bringing it all back home. Good luck, and
keep up the good work!
Arnsten Linstad
All I can say is THANKS! I'm glad someone besides the pot-smoking crowd
appreciates Dylan like I have learned to. My father teaches his lyrics
in American Literature class in a small high school, and that is how I
got interested in the man who could compose a song like "Gates of Eden"
or a masterpiece tougue-in-cheek short like "Jet Pilot." What a guy!
Matt
I just thought that you have a neat home page set up here. It's nice
to see other fans setting things up for our fearless poet. Keep it up,
I hope to put one together myself

In my opinion, you should have the date of last update placed in a
prominent spot on your opening page. Makes things much easier for us, the

Dear Mr. Howells,
All of this WEB stuff is still a bit of a mystery to me, so I hope this
gets through. I have enjoyed your comments on RMD for a couple of years.
I I seldom post, but rarely a week goes by I don't check in. I found your
site at the newsgroup. Not only is yours the first, it is the best. However,
I do find Bob Links very useful. I visit your site often. Please keep up
the good work. I first discovered Dylan through a friend in San Marcos,
TX. I think he played Freewheelin for me right after its release. I was
not impressed. Was not a folk fan at the time. I worked at a 250 watt daytimer
in that small college town at the time, and it was Sub Homesick Blues that
hooked me. Been a fan ever since. Dylans early work (and recent work) has
changed my mind about folk. Have always loved rock. BOB is the finest album
of the genre. I don't share your love of Basement Tapes, but like the album.
You comments on BT were very enjoyable.
Sincerely
David B. Smith
Hats off to Bob Dylan.

NEW BOB DYLAN BOOK IN THE WORKS!!!
WE ARE PUBLISHING YOUR STORIES!!!
There's a brand new Dylan book on the way. Don't say it, "Oh great,
not another book tracing his Hibbing roots, Greenwich Village folkie years,
etc" NO WAY!!! We've been there and done that. Don't get me wrong, that
was all fascinating stuff THE FIRST TIME AROUND!!! But, it's high time
the story of Dylan was told from YOUR point of view. After all, YOU buy
his music, YOU go to his concerts, why shouldn't YOU speak out? If you
want to see YOUR story in print AND get a FREE copy of the new book to
show off to your friends, send us your letters!!! Letters about elaborate
schemes to get backstage after a show, letters about following his tour
bus into oblivion, getting an autograph, taking his order in a restaurant,
setting up his sound equipment. Where were you when you heard your first
Dylan song and how did it affect you? Did you ever have the tenacity to
jump onstage and risk security backlash to boogie with The Legend? Ever
had any photographs taken of you with Bob?! ! WE WANT IT ALL!!! Become
part of this beautiful tribute to the man who has touched our souls like
no one else

interesting for me. I really enjoyed your page and will now become a frequant
visiter whenever I have the time. I'm 18 live near Montreal,Canada I'm
an avid Dylan fan with more than a few questions; Do you know why he left
'Abandoned Love' off of 'Desire'? And do you know any songs directly linked
to Jack Kerouac? If you or someone who visits your homepage could answer
these questions for me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again...
Charlie Murdoch (SThiel@rocler.qc.ca)
I have a small question that is at the center of a dispute that I thought
someone running a Bob Dylan web site ought to be able to answer. A friend
and I disagree about who actually performed "Blowin' in the Wind" first
Bob Dylan or Joan Baez. I am fully aware that Dylan wrote it and that certainly
makes it more likely that he performed it first but you never know. If
you could answer this question for us that would be greatly appreciated.
You can email me if you like and if you could send a carbon copy to:
that would be great. I look forward to hearing from you, thanks again.

Hello,
I hope that this letter will arrive (or least it's contents) to Bob
Dylan. Firstly I want to say that I'm happy that my prayer came true and
he's healthy and he don't still went to meet Elvis like he said. I was
happy to hear also that in september (my birthday month) he'll release
a new album:"Time out of mind".
I'm 25 years old and I'm a poet who was influenced from Beat Generation
(especially from Alan Ginsberg). Bob Dylan is my idol and in his credit
I discovered so much values and they are very close to me today (like that
and like Woody Guthrie, Arthur Rimbaud) and of course all Bob's music that
gives me complete life. I did read a lot of biographys about his life and
because it I know very well about his GREATNESS.
A year ago when I published my first poems book, many peoples told me
that they saw the effect from Bob Dylan, especially in my Protest Songs
(like against who assasinated my Prime Minister, Yizhak Rabin). I wish
to send you my book but I wrote it in Hebrew, there is a poem who I wrote
it in dedication for Bob Dylan.
I never forget his concert in my land, Israel. I saw him in Haifa port
(20.6.93), it was been my only and first opportunity to saw him on stage
meantime, but I wish and promise to myself to see him again.
Sincerely,
Oudi (My friends nickname me "ouDylan").
P.s. I discovered this site while visiting Cnn's report about Bob Dylan's
health

Dear Bringing It All Back Home Folks:
Thank you very much for keeping all of us up to date on Dylan's recent
health problems. I had a very hard time getting the straight story until
I found your website. Keep up the good work.
Yours,
I'm on the mailing list 'About Townes' (Van Zandt) where I read a short
comment on Dylna's health. I nearly panicked and at once looked for further
information in the web. So I found your homepage via Altasvista. I'm very
pleased with the very new articles on Dylan (at least more actual than
German newspapers that only spent a few lines on Dylan's infection). Continue
your good work!
Yours,
John,
I found the site the first time I really got to grips with the net (and
naturally loooking first for my hero since 1964). It's a brilliant site
and I agree with the guy who wrote how great it is to feel connected with
all those other, aging and young Dylan fans around the world. Especially
now, when BD was hospitalised, and I could hear the latest news. I was
at both of his shows in Israel and hope he'll be back here again.

autographed, whatever????). The record cover is for a two-album

are two 33 1/3 records without labels, apparently never labeled.
Playing the records, they are Bob Dylan's but I would have to spend

to identify source or supply any infor? Or can you direct me to a

Just saw the show last evening at Pine Knob in Michigan...
Really hot show. It's the sisxth show I've seen, and I'd say
one of the best. Booby rocked, and I really liked the backup band behind
him this time. The audio system was also the clearest I've heard him on,
with the notable exception of when he opened up for the dead in DC.
Just thought I'd add my view.

EnglandsR
I have been a Dylan fan since my early teens (I'm now 47) and
I have always felt that since his breakup with his wife Sarah
around 1977 (the year I got married) he still loves her. After
listening to several tracks on his latest CD, TOOM, it seems to
me that he still misses her as much as ever.
The point is, that after 17 years of marriage, my wife left
me recently for another guy. And Dylan's songs about Sarah
or relationships in general now hit so close to home that I
can't listen to BOTT or TOOM without a major cry.
Anyway, can you recommend any books, articles or reading that
may discuss what happened between Bob and his wife, and what
he feels about what happened?
I have a catalog from "On The Tracks" and they have many books
and periodicals available, but perhaps you know which ones
deal with the specific aspect of Bob's life that I can now
relate to and am now interested in.
Looking forward to hearing from you or your members. (Feel free
to post this).
You have a great website.
Thanx...

This is a great site... I rarely do feedback, but in this case,
I wanted to. I read most of the past feedback comments: there
was one thing I wanted to add. Somebody posted, wondering who the
woman was alongside Dylan on the album slee ve of The Freewheelin'...she
is not Albert Grossman's wife Sally, but Suze Rotolo. The picture
was taken in February, 1963. Albert Grossman's wife did appear on
a Dylan cover, but it was on Bringing It All Back Home. Keep up
the good work. Very cool.

Be curious to know how many Bob fans would want to
read a book about his personal life, his relationship with
ex-wives, girlfriends, children, sports, etc. and what he
does in his free time, even if some of the information
might explode the myth, revealing him to sometimes be
a self-serving, ego manical person. The book is being
written by a long-time girlfriend, who depending on how
pissed off he gets, may or may not be sitting next to him
at the Kennedy Center Awards this winter.
To answer some of the questions: Renaldo and Clara is
impossible to find unless you know him. He keeps it (as
best he can, safely locked up in a vault.) He does not
read these sites unless there is something particularly
interesting one of his friends or employees picks up.

i recently attended boy dylan's concert in mobile. it was very
disappointing. no communication at all with crowd (to be expected),
played only his new songs ( played only a few old ones), and seemed
relatively uninspired. few attended and i am beginning to understand
why. people come to relive the past in large part because his
songs represent signposts along the way of life. no hamonica. no
back up vocals. very little acoustic. an electric morass of static
with relati vely few lyrics which were inte lligable. is this the
norm rather than the exception? your thoughts

Hi,
I really enjoyed your web page!
I saw Dylan at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1979 (large band with
violin guy fro m South Philly). I also saw the Greatful Dead with
Bob Dylan as the closed JFK s tadium.
Anyway do you know of any well recorded bootlegs from the tour with
Mick Taylor? 1984 I believe? The same tour that Real Live came
from. I bought a boot of the rehearsals, great sound but no Mick
Taylor excpet Maggies farm which was on Real Live.
Any outtakes from Infidels that Taylor plays on? He is very mixed
into the backg round on that album.
Also, id there a Bob Dylan Newsgroup?
Thanks,
PS. The Rolling Stones have been playing Like A Rolling Ston on
their current Br idges To Babylon Tour. The Stones are playing
Madision Square Garden on Jan 16th & 17 while Bob Dylan is playing
at the Madison Square Garden Theatre in the sam e building. I hope
these guys get together for a live jam on Like A Rolling Ston e
like they did in 1995!
Do you know anyone who might want to sell an irving plaza ticket.

Surprise Opening!!!
David Bromberg with Bob’s Band
Bob Dylan
1 Maggie’s Farm
7 Roving Gambler @
11 Takes A Train to Laugh
13 Till I Fell in Love With You
14 Don’t Think Twice @
Great show, as usual, with wonderful vibes from Bromberg surprise
guest appearance. Bromberg's contribution seemed to be a spur of
the moment thing (but who knows...). The crew came out to put up
a mic and guitar cable at the last minute. Bob and Dave had a great
time playing together. One gets the impression lately that Bob has
been reaching out to his old friends, which is a real nice thing.
Standouts were all the Bromberg numbers, Simple Twist, and everything
from the acoustic set to the end. How refreshing not to hear Highway
61 and Rolling Stone for a change!
The Metro is pretty decrepit and sticky (sorry gang). The sound
was too loud for the venue. Bob's voice and guitar were distorted.
Aside to Bob's people: Whoever mixed did not do proper service to
Bob's music. I like loud music, but this was just noise overkill.
Think about it.
I saw at least two tapers busted, and at least one success story.
The Bromberg stuff will make great filler.
Thanks for coming to Chicago, Bob!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know how excited I was to discover
your web site and all the other sites dedicated to Bob Dylan. Bob
Dylan's work is one of the great joys of my life. I am so thankful
for his beautiful translations of human emotions and feelings due
to his sensitivity. He really explains things sometimes! I have
been reading about him extensively and viewing any films that he
has participated in. I am stumped about one thing (maybe more than
one)....how is a person to locate a copy of Renaldo and Clara? I
am dying to see this film. If you have any information, please let
me know. Once again, thanks so much for you dedication to the art
of Bob Dylan.
Sincerely,
Awesome page! I've stumbled upon it many times, most recently from
a page about beat influences on music. Great info. Bob rocks!

Well, as many of you I've been deeply influenced by Bobby and think
his new album is his finest, without any doubt. As for your page,
it's great. I live in Slovenia and write since the age of 6,
publishing 5 books of poems and one album of songs.
I'd really like to meet Bobby in person, but probably it'll
never happen because of my "geografical position".
Wish ya all the best!

a long time ago. Now thanks to your page I know. By the way do
you know what became of John Keorner? Keep up the good work

Out of all the Dylan sites I've found so far yours
has the best pictures. I viewed the photos from
Blonde on Blonde. I have always assumed the person
in the photo of Dylan sitting on a sofa was Allen
Ginsberg and the woman in the picture with Dylan
was Albert Grossman's wife. But I could be wrong.

I remember seeing, years ago, ads in magazines like Rolling Stone
for concert ph otos. I thought it would be interesting to try to
collect some concert photos of Dylan. I have been doing some digging
around on the net a nd have not found anything, and it seems like
the ads in Rolling Stone have been replaced by 900 sex businesses.
I read that you are not a clearinghouse for tape collectors and
merchandise acquirers, and I can't blame you for that, but if you
know of any place I might try for Dyl an concert pics, I would
appreciate hearing of it. Finally, I enjoyed your site. Well done.

[Of course it's based on a true event. - JH ]
In the late seventies, Dylan started what was called 'the never-ending
tour'. At the time probably nobody took that literally. Twenty
years later, it has beco me clear it was not meant as a joke. I'm
a filmmaker trying to find fans who par ticipate in this never-ending
tour, people who follow him around. Do you know fans who are (stil)
camping?
Enjoyed your site. I've been reading the Mis-heard Lyrics page,
which is great fun. Recognized a few of them myself.
One line caught my eye. In "Memphis Blues Again", you have the
actual lyric listed as "The (?) preacher looked so baffled". I
have always heard this as "The TV preacher looked so baffled."
Makes sense to me because TV preachers were a new thing back in
'66.

RE:Ring Them Bells I've thought about this quite a bit in the past
what thirteen years since that interview, Dylan has far from endorsed
a Jewish standpoint has taken something of what one might consider
a detached Christian/theistic standpoint, although references both
to the old and new testaments are as frequent in Oh Mercy and Under
The Red sky as they were in previous religious albums.
So what about Messianic complex? Well since his conversion of 1978
he's largely written and spoken of his deepest thought and meditations
upon his spiritual life in terms that are in many ways (in my
limited understanding) non Jewish, in that they are not collective
statements of faith, they indicate personal salvation (rather than
purely national) they also largely take up the more orthodox
Christian view of the falleness of man and the world, the existence
of personal evil in the form of the devil and the theology of
original sin.
We may want to get down to specifics later
Ring Them Bells, ye heathen, from the city that dreams,
Ring Them Bells, Saint Peter, where the four winds blow,
Ring Them Bells, Sweet Martha for the poor man's son,
Ring Them Bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring Them Bells , Saint Catherine from the top of the room,
Verse 1 lines 5-6the bride is most likely the church based on Matthew
9:15 and Revelation 19:7-9also Ephesians 5:25. However in the light of
Bob's Jewish background and perspective it could also refer to The
Marriage of God and Israel Hosea 2:19-20.
"Oh, the shepherd is asleep" I do not think is meant to allude to
Christ, but to the hireling shepherd or the unfaithful shepherds of
Israel perhaps the corrupt "church"..commentators, wrongly I feel , said
it cited Dylan's impatience with God for not resolving and judging the
wrong in the world; but wouldn't that go against the title Oh Mercy ?
Interestingly it may hark back to I Want You with the line "The
Saviours are fast asleep they wait for you". Also "The cracked bells and
washed out horns..", the cracked bell here is probably The Liberty Bell.
Then I think about the new song "Standing In The Doorway"
When the last rays of daylight go down
"And time is running backwards,And so is the bride." the image of
time is constant throughout Oh Mercy, remembered love affairs Most
of The Time, possibly What Was It You Wanted, reflections on his
own mortality in Shooting Star,and What Good Am I.These are links
with Time Out Of Mind too. Indeed in an early take he sings the
line "Seen a shooting star on the flat land roads, I was a thousand
miles away from where the end of time explodes", yes I think your
idea about its connection with scientific theories of time/light
and space are relevant here. As an aside, I often use the confusion
of clockfaces telling no particular time in my own work as I believe
art to opperate and interact on another dimension.
Cartwright pointed out, and I agree with him that "The world's on
its side" is a picture of the world as some sort of wounded creature
crawling back to its hole to die, certainly at least it suggests
the world is somehow fatally compromised. However as with all the
very best of Bob's work it is the overall mood created by voice
piano and spaces between words, the unspoken text, the way in which
the images are woven that holds us spellbound. As a song it is very
rewarding as it challenges people to feel the sorrow of mankinds'
situation to long for some divine resolution and justice, which
after all in a much more crude way the very early songs commented
upon as in Song To Woody (The World) "Its sick and its hungry its
tired and its torn it looks like its dying and its hardly bin'
born" . I must say how great it is to look at Dylan's work over
what is now getting on for forty years, like many painters and
poets the themes and concerns were thre from the beginning, yet
the infinite way he has to expressed his view has the mark of
genius.

It's hard to explain the importance to 16 year olds in the 1960s
of Dylan's "tim es they are a changing". They were seminal in the
sense that they came from the gramaphone's mouth, not from ours.
We now had a legitimate intermediary. My f irst date with my
husband of 30-odd years was at the Royal Albert Hall (London).
This is a vast and majestic venue that Dylan was able to fill on
his own, with guitar, harmonica and his voice. It was an unforgettable
evening.
Regards Angela Tappas
Radio station KTCZ, Minneapolis, St. Paul, MN, in the 1997 "Cities
Sampler," has Dylan singing backed up by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.
I forget the song.
Colmbia Record Hour Volume II has Yousf D'Nour singing "Chimes of
Freedom" in hi s native African language, with English translation

Your boot lists up to pre-Rolling Thunder 1975 are great,

work, so the cutoff is understandable.

All who love read my poems say to me that it's
sounds like Bob dylan. I'm remember very well is
last tour in my land, Israel and waiting to see
him again. BOB DYLAN, I love you. you one and only

Words truly cannot capture Bob Dylan's influence on my life. I have
studied history in school, discussed religion with my father and
have discussed philosophy with many, but Dylan's songwriting
surpasses all of that. It's truly a shame that he's not given enough
recognition for his music, attitude and modesty that makes him
BOB DYLAN. Most kids my age (17-18) don't really listen to him
since some say they can't "hear" him, others say they don't
"understand" him or whatever. T here will never again be another
BOB DYLAN & hopefully, before he's through, I'll prove (to all
those non-believers) I was right all along. GOOD LUCK BOB!

at night sometimes and think about what he is doing,
is he trying to paint a picture that won't seem to understand
the mood he is in, is he writing poems that cause a sense of
uneasiness and pain, or his he counting out pennies from a
little jar just so that he can eat? i guess i wonder if he
understands those things most because he lives it.........
i feel as if sometimes dreams are impossible to believe in...
that everyone is beautiful in their own way and if we only
really knew one another we could see that..... my ming is
making no sense, things i have never said or done has left
a feeling of emmense regret......... maybe i hoping you will
get this.... maybe i hoping somehow he will read my thoughts
i don't see him as a famous star... someone who is weighed
down from mail and the press, even though i'm sure that has
been the case many times........
i see him as an inspiration.... as just a simple man who is
trying to get by in a world of confusion...........
i'm sure i couldn't think at this moment even if i tried..
i am a young girl, trying to decide if this man, this man
who is ages apart from me could have an unspoken connection.....
i do not pretend to know what love is or do i understand it..
i just know that somewhere in all my loniness' and dreams...
he is there whispering to help me get through one more day...
even though i will never look into his eyes..... i feel
through his music he has allowed me, even if he didn't
realize, understand the true importance of being completely
yourself.... no matter how painful that sometimes is.........
(i don't have an e-mail address, doesn't really matter...)

Hi. I was looking for song lyrics, but if I had any brains at all
I would know that I can find all of them at bobdylan.com, so why
am I asking you about it? I guess I'm just real stupid. My mommy
is letting me use her computer.

I totally enjoyed looking through your reviews, and items on this
web site. I have recomended it to many of my friends whom also
enjoy Dylan on another level. Would it be possible to make a short
cut for people who are interested in buying different Dylan things?
I would love to see something like that. I understand that a Neil
Diamond site has one of those. Otherwise I have enjoyed my stay
in this site. Keep up the good work buddy.

Just a little note to say that I have always liked Bob Dylan; you
don't stay around that long if you're not one of the best......but
my real reason for this note is to say hi a big hello to his manager,
my cousin, Jeffrey Kramer. Hey Jeff, it's cousin Linda, Fritzie
and Leo's daughter, remember me? I just became a grandma for the
first time 29 days ago!!!! Hope you're doing great, I think of you
often, honey, please email me if you feel like talking to one your
favorite cousins!!!!

I am less impressed with disc two than disc one of the Manchester
(RAH) concert. To have both Desolation and Visions blows the mind
. . . not quite what they must have experienced in '66 but close
enough for me. Visions is by far his best song with Desolation
and GofE a close third. Of cours e, that all changes when I put on
BOTT or JWH, or even Infidels for that matter.

HI.
A QUESTION AND A CORRECTION I HAVE ABOUT THE BOOTLEG ALBERT HALL
RECORDINGS. I HAVE BEEN A DYLAN FAN SINCE 1962 ( I EVEN NAMED MY
SON DYLAN), ANYWAY I HAVE FOR YEARS IN MY POSSESSION A DYLAN ALBUM
WITH NO LABEL OF THE SONGS ON THE LP, AND IN JUST A WHITE COVER.
IN THIS ALBUM ARE THE RECORDINGS FROM ALBERT HALL (MANCHESTER)
WHICH I JUST FOUND OUT WITH THE NEW RELEASE OF IT. AND ON MY ALBUM
SOMEONE CALLS OUT"DYLAN YOUR A JUDAS" AND HE SAYS YOU A LIAR,AND
THE CALLER YELL'S BACK "DYLAN YOUR A F--KING JUDAS AND DYLAN DOES
RESPOND BACK "YOUR ALL F--KING LIARS". THIS EXCHANGE IS CLEAR AS
DAY NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS... AND I HAVE IT.. THIS IS NO
BULL..... ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
MNASH41632@AOL.COM
correction !!!
sorry, but the exchange between dylan and the the fan from the
manchester concert was fan "dylan your a judas,and dylan responses
"i don't believe you", the fan yells back "dylan your a f--king
judas" and dylan responds "your all f--king liars" then goes right
into once upon a time you dress so fine(like a rolling stone).
sorry i got the exchange a little mess up the first time, but this
is clearly the exchange on my album....

Dear John,
I am a student at the Manchester Metropolitan University in
Manchester, England.
I am currently studying the subject of web page design
with an emphasis on human - computer interface designing.
Could you please tell me how much research into the topics
of designing an interface to suit the needs of all users

I would appreciate any help you could offer me.
Keep up the good work,

hello!
Your list of Dylan's 1965 US tour with the Hawks still leaves out
his Knoxville, TN concert in October 1965. I was there.
Great show.

I'm looking for a recording made back in the 70's.
It was rcorded in a "public radio or TV" station studio(I believe it was
WVIA in Wilkes Barre PA). The music was all acoustic. I don't even
remember what songs were on it but a friend of mine enjoyed it very much and
has expressed interest in trying to find the recording
Can you help???
Thank you in advance

This is a question to anyone out there who cares or may know the
answer. I am w ondering what is the best way to get Bob Dylan's
autograph. If anyone knows, pl ease respond. Thank you.

i would just like to say that bob dylan is obviously a god of some

Thank you so much for the excellent site! It's refreshing to find
so much information on the recording of the songs. I do have one
question though. Do you know of any recorded version of "Love is
Just a Four-Letter Word?" I would prefer to know of one dating
close to when it was written ('65?), but any version would be
great. I'd hate to live out rest of my life humming the thirty or
so seconds of it Joan Baez sings in "Don't Look Back." Thanks
again for the amazing site.

Cinquanta anni fa l'onu prooclamava ufficialmente la carta dei
diritti umani ed in gran parte del mondo si è celebrato l'anniversario.
Nel 1963 Bob Dylan ha scritto una celebre canzone "blowing in the
wind". Alcuni versi chiedono: "quante strade deve percorrere un
uomo prima di essere chiamato uomo Quante orecchie deve avere un
solo uomo avere per sentire la gente soffrire? La risposta,amico,
soffia nel vento. Questi versi sono ancora attuali? commenta.

O.K., I'm a novice and I'm sure it shows. Would anyone
out there in cyberspace tell me when Bob Dylan wrote
"To Make You Feel My Love" ? I would really like to hear
it performed by Dylan. Was it ever commercially produced?
This is my son's favorite song and he wants it performed
at his wedding. He's not really a big Garth Brooks fan
(nor Trisha Yearwood.)

I love your page it is loaded with information. I have one question
about a Dylan song I was hoping you could answer for me. I am a
big Bruce fan and was driving home one day when I heard Tweeter
and the Monkey Man. You obviously know where this is going but
what about the lyrics? Not only is the theme very Bruce i.e.
Vietnam, Jersey, Cops, Prison, Factory, but the lyrics are direct
titles of his songs.
Jungleland "over the Jersey state line"...Line 7 "across the Jersey
line" The titles Stolen Car, Hihgway 99, Mansion of a Hill, Thunder
Road, State Trooper, Factory, and Jersey Girl. I think that 7
titles of Bruce songs validate that this was somehow inspired by
his writing in addition around the time of the writing of this
song a Bside from Bruce came out called Part Man part Monkey hence
Monkey Man? Please e mail me with any info if you can. I'll
appreciete it greatly
Thank You

Hi. I'm the founder of the Shelter From the Storm club on Excite
you were good enough to list in your links. I wanted to tell you
that the club has been moved to Yahoo and given a new name. Its
called Small Talk At the Wall. We had to leave Excite behind because
of technical problems. The address is

delete Shelter and add Small Talk, it would be most appreciated.

Do you think that he really understands the impact he has had on
folk/rock/blues /etc.? Hell, just on music and/or poetry in general.
I've read several intervie ws where he has dismissed his contribution.
Hard to tell whether he's just bein g Bob or really humble.
Obviously he has seen the results of his work. What do you think?
In my opinion our great-great-great-great grandchildren will be
quo ting him the way we cite Shakespeare. Is it all just a fad,
relevant only to our time?

Dylan isn't really singing on John Wesley Harding. Nor on Blood on

Bringing it all back home is a collection of songs written and sung

Patrick Humphries and John Bauldie in "Absolutely Dylan" claim that
Dylan saw a vision of Christ sitting in some Tucson, Arizona, hotel
on November 17, 1978. I was at that concert and was allowed
backstage because my brother was hired as l ocal security. I also
was invited to the 'after concert' get together with the other
members of my local band. Of course, I had never met Dylan before
but he seemed very serene and extremely generous. I remember that
his Aunt (Mother's sister?), and neice were also in the room. I
spoke to him briefly, no doubt sounding as Mr. Jones, but I didn't
notice a cross or any other religious artifacts. I imagine that
perhaps the authors took some literary license in using Tucson as
the venue for his conversion. By the way, the hotel he stayed at
was the Plaza International on Speedway Blvd. It's still there
and I rarely drive by it without thinking about that night. In
any event, for what it's worth. Raynook@aol.com
I thought the cat's name on Bringing it back home was puff or smoke.
This could have been the name of Edie Sedgwick's cat. I am sure
the cat isn't named SARA that is for sure.

Why does Dylan and Paul Simon ask for so much money for their

some of the boots listed in the page. I love the page, and will visit often!
Actually I have this Homepage bookmarked. I really like this page.
The best part of course is that it has so many links toother Dylan sites.
By the way, nice new look. It's snazzy. Is there any way I could bribe
ya to let me link this page to my homepage? ^_^ Anyways, keep up the great
work... I can't wait for his next album. I already have about 42 of his
albums, but it never seems to be enough. : D

Now why did I draw a blank. Could be the era has passed. You know,
I just keep trying to bury it. I thought perhaps you might like to read
the poem I started back in 1978, when jerome (my brother in Bobbie D) died.
With any luck you'll get it and even be able to retrieve it. In the meantime,
you know, Dylan is getting really old. Doesn't it amaze you, that restlessness
that come from having done it all and needing to do nothing more than dabble
from here on out.
have a music section with guitar chords etc.
have a quiz or crossword
all the web sites are ok until somebody can provide me with the traveling
wilburys words, arrangement and chords of Nobody's Child, and turn to more

I enjoyed reading your interview from Rolling Stone.
Especially the William Shatner piece! Let me know if that originated
from you or where I might find similar material!
Saw Bob last year here in Jacksonville, FL (see e-mail address- real
original, eh?), the show was great! As if it would not be!!
Well, again, Great Job! Keep it up!

I have been following your site for almost three years now and it
does keep getting better and better, both in look and content.
What has been the hallmark of your site for me are your own comments
and criticisms. They always seem to be right on, even if they differ
from most people's. I anticipate reading your page (though I've
gone through most of it), and reading your posts on rmd because of
them.
Now all you need to do is actually go to a Dylan show. I wouldn't
mind hearing what you think of his performances today. I doubt
you'd be disappointed.

Kvetching about her former life and how she'd been treated rude
she bitched and cried how she'd been used to bear his kids and then
she'd found that more he loved his Muse and liquor in the end
She said before she could say more she'd have to have a drink
I said OK got out of bed and then crossed to the bar
I made her a dry martini and myself a short Dewars
and as I took first drag and sip and turned again she spoke
"My mother" she said fluffing hair "is dead and in the ground,
But, if she knew what I had done why she'd be spinning round
She said Anyone can get circumsized today" then She asked "Are you?"
I almost woke up then I was so startled in my sleep
"Well yeah" I said "But arent they all?" I asked, not being too deep
"Too much" I dreamed I thought I said. I dreamed she smiled at me"
Well anyway what brings you here, and what about his songs?
aren't they what made his career great and who cares about his schlong?"
if I'd had to hear 'Hard Rain' once more I would have lost my mind!
And then his groupies oh my god one looked like Mama Ray
another looked like Tracy but much older than today."
that thats the best that he could do." as I took a hit of grass
"But thats just it" she waved, her martini glass in hand
"He believes his Gift is from above and his Muse is some old Black man!"
The glass, The joint, The Bitch was gone. I could hear a distant scream
But it felt really spooky sitting in the empty room,
dissappointedly sensing something impending Loom.

Consider:
Ring Them Bells:
Ring Them Bells,fron the sanctuaries across the valleys and streams,
For they're deep and they're wide,
And The world's on its side,
And time is running backwards,
And so is the bride.
Ring Them Bells with an iron hand so the people will know.
Oh, its rush hour now
On the wheel and plow,
And the sun is going down on the sacred cow.
Ring Them Bells so the world will know that God is one.
Oh, the shepherd is asleep
where the willows weep,
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep.
Ring Them bells for all of us who are left.
Ring Them bells,for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through.
Ring them Bells for the time that flies,
For the child that cries when innocence dies.
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom.
Oh the lines are long,
and the fighting is strong,
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong.
Verse 2 line 1 Matthew 14:23-32
Verse 2 line 2 Mindful of Revelation 2:27

Verse 4 line Matthew 11:2-6
Verse 4 lines 3-4Matthew 22:14 Revelation 17:14
Verse 4 line 1 Corinthians 6:2-3; Matthew 6:8
Buddy you'll roll no more
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard
I wonder who they're ringing for
I know I can't win
But my heart just won't give in
Last night I danced with a stranger
But she just reminded me you were the one
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
In the dark land of the sun

greetings from MADRID SPAIN
I have an original program from Bob Dylan's first concert, in NYC,
at Carnagie R ecital Hall, in 1961. It was sponsored by the Folklore
Center in Greenwich Village, where I got it a c ouple of years
later. Apparently, only a few people showed up, and Izzy Young
had a stack of them left over. Do you have any idea if people buy
and/or trade such items, and how much somethi ng like this would
be worth? If you have any info on this, send me a message at
mschenker@navpoint.com. Thanks.
graveyards, false goals, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough,
walk upside down inside handcuffs
kick my legs to crash it off,
say OK I've had enough
What else can you show me? - great web page...
he is by far the best song writer the music industry has ever seen.
all I have to say to Bob is KEEP ON ROCKIN
I saw the may show, religious experience
