Love it. I'm fascinated with Lee Ranaldo's approach to how to set this thing up, curating the songs (excising ones he felt wouldn't work), deciding to go in chronological-by-writing-date order, everything about it. Back in Sonic Youth's heyday, I saw them in some great shows, and decided they were the overall best live band ... ever.
He and Steve Shelley and their former 2 bandmates know a thing or two about concert dynamics.
Sunny War is on her way up ... interesting to hear a singer be nervous about covering a song they cover so well.
Huge fan of Luna and Dean & Britta ... my first son heard their first album together so many times as a baby he must love them too.
Nels Cline is a wizard. I'm not a big Wilco fan, but when they opened for Dylan on the 2013 Americanarama tour, I had front row seats right in front of where Nels was during their set, and I realized he's on another plane.
Big fan of Robyn's "Dylan Sings" recreation of the '66 shows - a precursor to what Cat Power did a couple of years ago. Emma beguiled us all with her Dylan covers LP, and her new record coming out soon sounds sublime. During the pandemic, she was one of many artists I paid a few bucks to, to see them do a livestream 'concert' when we couldn't all gather in a hall together. (Also paid to see all of Lucinda's "live in the studio doing covers" shows in that period.) So I've seen Emma in concert, but not really - hoping to see her in a show in person at some point.
And that final back/side-of-stage video - wow! What a moment!
Totally fabulous, Ray. Wonderful to revisit the concert via the vids. Happy to have them. Thank you; great to see you and all again. Keep on keeping on....
Fabulous! Thanks, Ray!

Thanks, Ray! What a fun week in Tulsa!
I’ll look for you tonight at Jones Beach! Bob is on fire these days!
Great Ray. Thanks for preserving such a special night.
