Maybe I shouldn't talk about live recordings of Dylan on YouTube... Are they legal? But like many others I go there to search for songs from the concert last night and I found When I paint my masterpiece. I think it sounds great. Bob's voice is so clear and nice and the band sounds tight and in tune. The tour is officially open and all bets are off. Find your seats and mute your phones and enjoy a great performance.
I read on the forum Expecting rain that Dylan has now hired a new drummer. Jim Keltner is out, and Anton Fig is in, and by the sound of the people on the forum, this was a good change. I know there was a lot of talk about Keltner last year. They say that it sounds like Fig gets where Dylan wants to go, and Keltner did not. I know what it's like to not fit in the group. I know what it's like to get fired, but sometimes things just don't work, and you have to boot someone out. It's a part of life.
Talk, talk, talk. But anyway, the tour is on. :-)
Oh, maybe Keltner didn't get fired but just quit or had other plans? I should be careful spreading fake news, but anyhow, there is a new drummer on the tour.
