I love how this version ties it all together, and the crowds reaction at the start of each verse~

I have to say my preference is for Bob's original on his 'another side of Bob Dylan' album - also featuring 'Motorpsycho nightmare' which is one of my favourite songs of all time. I believe I can just about remember all the lyrics despite not having listened to it for a good few years. Might be the subject of my next 'What are you listening to' post although I've just been sent a setlit for a band I'm considering and there's not too many familiar songs on it so I'm going to be woodshedding for the next few days.

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, a classic from my high school years. (Dang, has it *really* been 29 years since this came out?!)
 
Anyway, I always loved John Illsley's smooth, supporting style of bass playing... uncannily like John McVie's. Listen to the similarities between Sultans of Swing and Go Your Own Way.

Neil Young kicks Clapton's ass on the solos; seriously, Clapton needs some some fire in his life, he sounds like he's sleepwalking...Tony.

Last two days in the truck - Brand X Product - some of the best fretless bass and drum jamming around.  My favorite work by Percy Jones and Mike Clark on drums.
 
And right now - Wayne Krantz (played with Steely Dan)   His new Good Piranaha, Bad Piranaha is pretty cool.  Plus I'm going to see his trio next month here in Nashville.
 
And David Pastorious and Local 518.    Check them out!

Mike; great lineup on the My Back Pages video!
 
And Wolf; the video on that version shot in SF is pretty cool too!

Mike Stern's 'Time In Place'.
 
I had a bunch of tunes on a cassette tape for over 20 years and never knew what any of the tracks were.I'd labelled it 'Mystery Fusion Stuff' and I was scared to play it in case it got chewed up,and figured I'd never find out what any of the cuts were.Thanks to the Shazam app I've been able to identify most of them after all this time.Along with Frank Gambale's 'Legends' and 'The Tardis',this is a real highlight.

So I paused the rehearsal recording I was listening to so I could hear the Mike Stern song (I still can't get over how he is now to how fat he was with Miles..) anyway, just went back to rehearsal recording as I type this and it's kinda like going from a nice hotel wedding party to getting drunk with the dumpster divers out back scrounging the leftovers...I think I will always be closer to the dumpsters, which is funny as I am a goldsmith by training and work in a pawnshop so I have more gold go through my hands than most people see in a lifetime; damn I LOSE diamonds in my workshop, but tiny ones worth a few bucks each...still...anyway if anyone cares to listen, they'res some Rumsfeld tunes at reverbnation.com/rumsfeld and I don't know if they're the good recordings of the songs or not as I haven't checked in awhile; my drummer does that stuff...Tony.

I'm a big fan of 'Live from Daryl's House'.  One of the episodes, he had Booker T. Jones guesting, and Daryl reached back for this gem:

. . . . Eddie Floyd's 'Never Found a Girl', which Booker T co-wrote and produced the side back in the day when Stax was a powerhouse.  Can't argue with him, one of my favorite tunes as well, and rockets me right back into the heyday of Soul music, somewhere I'm very happy.
 
Daryl's a great 'white soul singer', and without the baggage that usually drags with it, and a great student of his hometown Philly-style and all the rest.  I really dug the episodes with Smokey and Shelby Lynne, and Joe Walsh and Billy G turned in good days as well.

Nice video Joey.  I've seen a number of great jams on Live From Daryl's House; two of my favorites were the ones they did with Todd Rundgren.  Most of the good stuff is no longer up on Daryl's site; but thanks to you, I've found that some is up on youtube.  Here's I Saw The Light, shot at Todd's house.

[peoplechipper]

Thanks for that, I did not know about Daryl's house; I will explore it now; so much good stuff!...the Todd Rundgren  song has a very different feel from the rest as it's in a different place; must be amazing to ask Booker T and Billy Gibbons, etc. to come over to your place to play some tunes with your band...Tony

Daryl's House is great fun.  Super band.
 
On a different note; my wife and I saw Birdman yesterday,
The score for the movie is AWESOME,
 
I was going to reveal it, but I think it is best served unannounced. If you have the time and don't mind spending a few bucks for a movie, you should see Birdman.  As I was watching I kept getting caught up in the score - saying, I got to know who this is.
 
If you don't want to see the movie then do a web search of Birdman score.
