Known Faults: Several passages of pre-recorded introductions and commercially released music are removed.

I can not tell you how much every single one of you needs this show in your collection! Look at the list of performers above! Wow! All to pay tribute to Roy Orbison and raise money for the homeless in America. The sound is really good on this one, everything seems to come through pretty good. As with a lot of audience recordings the louder you play it, the more you hear! That's said a lot about audience recordings but when they are recorded right it's true.

To have Roger McGuinn, David Crosby and Chris Hillman reunite as The Byrds with special guest Bob Dylan is worth the download. B.B. King jamming "The Thrill Is Gone" with Al Kooper! Bonus! John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt together on "I'm In The Mood". I could go on but I should not have to....

I really enjoyed listening to this collection. It's a lot of  great music packed into one sweet little package. I keep coming back to the memory that the guy who turned me on to Tom Petty also turned me on to Devo, Black Flag and The Meatmen. Looking at it with an older mind it actually shouldn't really of surprised me actually. The Punk Rock movement was brought about by music fans that felt Rock music had gotten too bloated and self-indulgent. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers music was anything but bloated and self indulgent. The wrote great Rock songs with great stories in the lyrics. No tours with a 100 piece orchestra and Benmont Tench wasn't surrounded by 60 synthesizers. The same reason their music made some of their influences want to record and tour with them. Bob Dylan, George Harrison, to name a couple. Plain and simple Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers were dA Damn Good Rock & Roll Band. Hope you enjoy this collection!!

I know that I have stated on this blog before that I am not much of a Bob Dylan fan. I am not a huge fan but I do like some eras of Dylan's music. I really love the Christian Rock Era of Slow Train Comin' and Saved. I also absolutely love Bob Dylan & The Band's live album Before The Flood. I'm not such a fan of the solo guitar Folky stuff but electric Dylan is pretty good. My Dad loved the song "Lay Lady Lay" so he had a tape of Nashville Skyline on 8-track in his car. I have a deep connection with that one and some of my earliest childhood memories. It reminds me of when my Dad came home from the Viet Nam War. He left the year I was born. He came back when I was 5. That year I met my Dad and never needed another hero.

 
The title of this bootleg comes from the fact that Mike Bloomfield died shortly after this gig.

Now my first copy of Bob Dylan & The Band's Before The Flood came from my cousin Jamie who I have written about on this blog (Rest In Peace My Droog & Brother). He called and said he had some tapes for me that he had "found some where". Which I confess could mean an open car window. He came over with my Grandparents holding a bag of 8-tracks saying "I'm pretty sure I seen these bands in your collection." There was Jethro Tull's War Child, Rory Gallagher's Calling Card, Edgar Winter Group's They Only Come Out At Night, and Before The Flood. We popped in the Rory Gallagher because he was the only one I didn't know. Instant fandom, I mean Calling Card blew me away. I had just received my first musician biography as a present, it was about Bob Dylan (I still have it). I figured I would listen to Before The Flood while I read it. I laughed my self silly when I read that during his High School days Bob Dylan wanted to be Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis. There was a story that he wanted to impress some girl so he played her his whole Little Richard catalog with all the moves included (can you see Bob Dylan with his leg on a piano singing Lucille?). Can't remember the outcome but he did go Folk soon after that.
