Personally this was a fantastic article for me to read. I am old school lightshow person and the first lightshows I ever saw were at the Fillmore in San Francisco in the summer of 1966. It must have been Ray Anderson , or now I'd like to think so! Me and my lightshow tribe went on to travel the world with rock bands for 5 years. And the way Ray connects to Bob, it's just gives me goosebumps! We're about to fly to Paris and then on to Amsterdam to see Bob. How lucky can one old hippie get?
The fantastic deep-dive investigation that you have made your signature. What a great read. I must admit to some frustration that this kind of thing (and no doubt a lot more) is tucked away at Tulsa ... and only available to "researchers" ... but I'll take this as a great substitute until Amazon delivers my pitchfork.
Fascinating stuff - you're covering corners of the Dylanverse that nobody else is. (As is Sunny in this case!)
The Matrix has some magic to it. I'm also a Velvet Underground fanatic and have two box sets that contain Matrix bootleg recordings turned into legit releases:

What a scoop, Ray! Wonderful story about Dylan's painting, too. Very much looking forward to the next installments.

AWESOME PANCAKES is the new EGGS
Great interview. There is a famous soundboard bootleg of Springsteen's early band Steel Mill playing at the Matrix, which can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAVb-p4-r3w. More info here: https://pusabase.com/blog/2020/01/13/steel-mill-live-at-the-matrix-50th-anniversary-edition/
