Bob Dylan Bob Dylan: the 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration

It was just a piece of information, Hal. I understood that yours was a reported judgment, so it’s not yours. On the other hand, mine is, since I have eyes and ears and I have seen and heard it. So if you want to play on this field, I think my judgment and that of Cave - as they are not just opinions, but firsthand information due to experience - carry more weight than yours. Bye :)

What I liked the most, however, is Dylan being so incredibly out of place; it's a beautiful contrast that suits his character perfectly. The others I liked are Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Kristoffersson, and Harrison. I have seen Dylan live several times, and he is certainly not an enigma like you read, Hal. In fact, he is always formidable (the sound he has now is terrifyingly beautiful, and the band he brings with him, give or take a member, has certainly been the best in the rock scene for over 10 years) and even when he is not particularly inspired (which fortunately I have never witnessed, only heard about), I agree with Nick Cave in considering him at least ten steps above all the others.

Bob Dylan Nashville Skyline

An extraordinary album, a deceptively light singer-songwriter country, yet filled with pathos and fury. The album's length is not an issue; in fact, its brief duration enhances its intensity. Lay Lady Lay is magical and mysterious, I Threw It All Away possesses a timeless melody and carries with it a melancholic charm that renders it immortal, Tell Me That Isn't True is disarming in its beauty, Country Pie and Peggy Day are two formidable pieces in their musicality (as evidenced by the fact that they are often performed in concerts by Bob), the closing of the album is the most fitting, and the lyrics are true photographs, snapshots of a life that one wants to capture for just a moment or forever, to freeze happiness, to freeze love. This is Nashville Skyline.

This is not the last album by the Velvet Underground. I'm also in agreement with the reviewer regarding the album rating. The album is far inferior to the previous two. What made the Velvets unique, besides Reed's lyrics, was primarily the sound, and that sound was mainly due to John Cale. Here, John is missing, and you can tell, although the album still contains some great songs.
