Moderator Action: Lets stop derailing what this thread should be about. If someone wants to talk about Dylan that's not a big crime. Very few of us have much to say about one specific tour quarter a century ago.
Which is because people are talking Dylan in general! Which is not the intent! Which is being ignored! I can post nice stuff! About the tour! But nobody cares!
I don't even know if I have ever heard a Bob Dylan song.

Has your work with Bob Dylan caused any change in your playing approach?
I don't know about technique-wise, but just on a playing level it's very inspiring. I have learned quite a lot from watching the way he plays guitar. He's a very knowledgeable guitarist when it comes to chording; he knows positions that I wouldn't have thought of. And he has a real interesting way of approaching the rhythm of a song. You can play a straight beat or a shuffle at the same tempo, and then there's that ground in between where it's sort of swinging in the middle. Bob is really good at that. He's one of the most inspiring people I've ever heard. I'm a big fan.
Does Dylan have definite ideas about what he wants you to play?
On certain songs, yeah. But he's pretty loose. He's not too specific with what he wants. He's got a kind of look [laughs] -- you can tell if he likes it or not. Most of the time, he just starts playing and everybody folows him. He rarely plays the same song exactly the same, so there's no point in trying to work out a part on most of this stuff. You just have to go with however it feels.
Well I have plenty to say! So ask away! Because if I am to post it spontaneously nobody would bother.
Anyways. The thing about the Heartbreakers? Well ... It's a band. Not a hand-selected group of players. B'cause.... You can get the best musicians in the world together. But it might not have the same thing as a real band. You know, chemistry? Like you mix two things together, nothing happens? But then you mix two other things and theres a huge explosion?
And anyways the Heartbreakers are good musicians despite what people say. Not show-offs. Less is more. You know. And theres usually no loose ends. You don't really get the impression that they're sloppy. Maybe loose, yes. But not sloppy. They don't leave things hanging.
And they're photogenic.... Yeah thats silly but I'd thought to mention it. Photogenic without being too pretty. Nice picture

OK, so you say, 'well I wouldn't want to meet them in a back alley at midnight.' Well I dont think I'd like to either.
One more thing. Petty said, that if you talk to Bob directly, he's directly back. So it's not some mystical figure. Or a prophet or something. You won't believe me, but one concert review I have is trying to put symbolism into the clothes he wears. Rather silly sometimes.
I hope you all understand what this nonsense stands for! As I am not to be more understanding?
I've heard the first song before, didn't know who made it. The 3rd video is blocked from my country for some stupid copyright BS.Let's remedy that:
That should be a good starter dose.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY???!!!!!!
You included Bob Dylan in the title and thread topic, if you didn't want people to talk about him then you shouldn't have included him.
Also TPAHB is a horrible name for a band imo, too narcissistic, but it could be worse.
That's sad but sort of funny. As I guessed, if a Dylan fan sees that the thread is even slightly about Dylan, then they assume that it's 100% about all things Dylan. You wanted the thread to be about the Dylan-TPATH tour, but that gave the Dylan-worshippers the opening they needed to discuss anything Dylan. Like I said, sad but sort of funny.
Pity. Does this work?I've heard the first song before, didn't know who made it. The 3rd video is blocked from my country for some stupid copyright BS.
Stop Derailing !!! another thnread make it!!
