  7. Bob Dylan

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    It's hard to choose a favorite Bob album so I'd start with one of the compilations. My favourites are Blood On The Tracks and Blonde on Blonde. Also the Live 1966 album is brilliant and Hard Rain for his epic rendition of Idiot Wind, which is just amazing. I'm a huge Bob fan but I still haven't heard all of his stuff, so I'll have to follow up some of this myself. Just enjoy Viaene. Bob is the best. :)

    By the way, and excuse my ignorance if the answer is obvious, but does anybody know who or what painting Bob is holding in this picture? Thanks. :)

  11. Neil Young Photo?

    in Questions and Answers

    That sounds like Heart of Gold, but there are others that may fit the bill.

    That's what I thought, or maybe Comes A Time? It's kind of like the photo, there are so many that it could be!

    I've been meaning to read the Shakey biography for a while. I'll have to get to the library. And I'm borrowing that Neil Young wallpaper when I get my computer fixed! So many talented people around.

  12. Neil Young Photo?

    Great. Glad you kept digging. BTW, have you tried any of the recovery software to see if you could salvage your files?

    No, I'm no good with technology so I'm having someone come and look at it for me tomorrow. Thanks. :)

    It is a great pic RonJonSurfer. One of my favourites of him. And yeah, I think he is a lot younger than I thought in it. He's got those great sideburns happening! I'm going to see him live soon so I'm on a bit of a Neil kick at the moment. Well, I'm always on a Neil kick! I think he's one of the best.

    Anyway, thanks again for your help.

  15. Neil Young Photo?

    in Questions and Answers

    Hi everyone. My computer crashed and is now officially dead (I'm using someone elses at the moment). I lost some image files and there is one in particular that I really love but can't find anywhere that I want to save on this computer while I have the time.

    It's a photo of Neil Young. It's black and white and kind of an art shot. He's sitting down holding his guitar, or maybe playing it? and staring into the camera with a very intense look on his face. I estimate it was taken in his early to mid-thirties.

    I know it's not much to go on. It could be a million photos of him! But if you have any ideas or can help me find it please post here. Thanks. :)

  16. Best Concert Ever

    in Concerts

    Posted

    My husband's been to many concerts. I asked him what his best concert was and he said either Supertramp or The Who. The Who concert has a better story though: he was in London in the early 70's with a friend from his hometown. Tickets were sold out but a guy near the door told them that he was waiting for some friends, but if they didn't show up, he would give them two tickets. They waited for 10-15 minutes, a cab pulled up and sure enough, this guys friends had arrived. Well, all this time they were waiting, my husband and his friend had been chatting with the doorman. They tell him they came all the way from Canada and they really wanted to see The Who. The doorman says, "I'm from Ontario...give me a pound each and you can come in." It was a great concert.

    I have a similar story. In 1989 me and my two best friends missed out on Neil Young tickets but we went to the venue anyway in the hope of at least listening through the doors. About 20 minutes into the concert the doors opened and three women came out saying he sucked (there's no accounting for taste) and just handed us their tickets. We couldn't believe our luck and it was easily the best concert I've ever seen.

    But the reason I mention it is because I think that concert may have finally been surpassed last Wednesday night, by Patti Smith at the Sydney Opera House. An absolutely electrifying concert. I don't think I've ever experienced a rush at a concert like the one I experienced when she did Gloria, and just about every other song was equally as brilliant. Just amazing.

    This is easy.

    Nuff said :D ...

    The memories are "smokey & hazy" but Oh So Sweet!

    I envy you. I was born too late. :(

  18. Any concerts coming up?

    I will. I'm so excited, but January is so far away. I don't know how I'm going to survive until then! I saw Neil in around '89. I've seen a lot of bands since then but that concert remains the best I've ever seen. So I have to agree with you there, :rockon: Mr. Neil Young!! :rockon:

    I got tickets to see Neil Young in January yesterday. I didn't know he was having a show in Sydney, but just by coincidence I happened to notice an ad in a newspaper someone had thrown out the day before tickets went on sale. Thankfully! I LOVE Neil and would have been devastated to miss that one.

    I'm also going to see Patti Smith at the Sydney Opera House in a few weeks. I agree with the Bob Dylan thing. I saw him live many years ago with Patti as support act and she blew him off the stage. I love Bob and grew up on his music, but the performance was very ordinary and some of the songs were unrecognisable. But I'd go anyway. What else can you do? It's Bob!
