The Bob Dylan Revue are playing again this week in Sydney.
Being a Dylan fan from his late teens, Douglass is a great choice to play the roll of Bob Dylan.
There is an uncanny resemblance to the man himself. Douglass has a natural feel for the Guitar, Blues harp and that distinctive vocal style… even Dylan himself would be a little puzzled at first… but he’ll come around.
I was flicking through Mr Grubber’s fine RSS feed this morning (as you do) and found my way to the new song by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -
I agree with the DF, it’s a great tune. It’s slick, pop-rock and I like it. It could be a shocker in less competent hands but Tom has such cred’ in his delivery that it works for me. There are some contrived edits of the band interacting with each other but that’s just a bit of fun.
Art aside, something in the background of one shot caught my eye. There’s a poster on the wall that has been obscured about two thirds of the way through the video. Something legal didn’t like I guess. Perhaps someone wanted payment.
I wonder what it is?
Here's another one from a while ago. 1989, The Triffids at the Enmore theatre in Newtown, Sydney, Australia. Standing room only, poor sound but I guess that's the deal with the real thing.
Here's an oldie. The last time I saw Bob Dylan in concert was in 1986 in Sydney Australia. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers were support. It was great, but hell that's a while ago now. Back to the EntCent to see him again Aug 15 2007 - let's see what 21 years of touring does to a singer. And how about that price 26 bucks!
