Originally posted on A Thousand Highways which is always worth checking out.

When Covid-19 spread across the world in 2020, Bob Dylan’s live show was necessarily put on hold. We received Rough & Rowdy Ways and Shadow Kingdom in the interim, but nothing could sate the excitement we collectively had for our guy to get back on the road once safer conditions prevailed. And in Fall 2021, they did.

Bob Dylan returned to concert halls around North America on a new tour – perhaps the first in his career – explicitly designed to promote his newest studio recording. The Rough & Rowdy Ways Tour would almost exclusively highlight songs from the eponymous album and its 2021 back-catalog counterpart, Shadow Kingdom. Slimming down the setlist selections even further from the already-tight 2019 shows allowed Dylan and his band to explore these magical songs with the depth they deserved.

“False Prophet” is fiercer than its album take, “I Contain Multitudes” is more evocative, and “My Own Version Of You” is alternately more menacing and funnier. “Key West” receives a definitive reading here, offering introspection and peace in equal measure. “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and “To Be Alone With You” are downright playful, and “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” sounds like it was made to be played in this jaunty arrangement. “Jimmy Reed” shuffles along with an infectiously fun vocal performance. These shows represent the triumphant, joyful communal experience fans had been awaiting over the preceding two years of hardship.

In an effort to focus on the best of the best, I’ve trimmed the standard opening tracks “Watching The River Flow” and “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I Go Mine)” from this collection and played a bit creatively with the sequence. Don’t worry, though: listeners who’d like an accurate representation of the average concert will find these songs among the bonus material here. I’ve also included a Jerry Lee Lewis cover played in honor of its composer’s death in 2022 along with two additional versions of “Key West” that demonstrate that song’s unique evolution over the course of the 2021 and 2022 tours.

I hope it’s been worth the wait! Until next time, keep yourself healthy and listen to some good tunes.

Cheers,
CS

Update: Folks who downloaded this within the first 12 hours of publication on 3/31/24 will find that one of the tracks – “False Prophet” – has a pretty bad audio problem due to an export issue I ran into in Audacity. A revised version has now been published.

LIFES RICH PAGEANT
Demos & Outtakes recorded in spring 1986-John Keane’s Studios-Athens, GA.
Total Time: 75:00

  1. THEME FROM TWO STEPS ONWARDS-outtake
    (Originally recorded with full orchestra for “Fables Of The Recon-struction”-this version is stripped down-
    one of the great unreleased REM tracks)
  2. JUST A TOUCH-demo
    (Played live frequently from 1981-1986 before finally being released)
  3. IT’S A MYSTERY TO ME-outtake
    (Also frequently played live, but only up until 1982)
  4. WAIT-outtake [ripper’s note: not indexed as track 4 on CD, instead as part of track 3]
    (Found frequently on early live vinyl bootlegs-was best not released!)
  5. BEGIN THE BEGIN-demo
    (Notice the prominent bass and lazy vocals compared to the final product)
  6. CUYAHOGA-demo
    (Much different inflection in Stip’s [sic] voice-last half of song is instrumental)
  7. I BELIEVE-demo
    (End product of “When I Was Young”, a song played live at dates during the 1985 “Preconstruction Tour”)

7.a. INTERIM MEDLEY

  1. ROTARY TEN-outtake-instrumental-eventual B side

  2. THESE DAYS-demo
    (one of the most favorite “Pageant” songs-very different vocals)
  3. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (PSA)-outtake
    (never meant to be released-a serious release of tension for Stipe-notice his attemt [sic] at the harmonica!)
  4. UNDERNEATH THE BUNKER-demo
    (added to the album at the last moment-one of fans most loved instrumentals)
  5. SWAN SWAN H-demo
    (Worked up live during the “Reconstruction” tour in mid-1985-a sad song of the War Between The States)
  6. THE FLOWERS OF GUATEMALA-demo-instrumental

    (The Byrds classic mixed with the cartoon classic!)
  6. WHEN I WAS YOUNG Piscataway, NJ 28 April 1985
    (An early version of “I Believe”-played live only twice-a true rarity!)

Liner Notes:
We at Who Am I asked the most prominend (sic) R.E.M. collectors what they wanted on disc that has yet to released. The result was the undigging of two sets of gems. LIFES RICH PAGEANT demos and outtakes, and a collection of live classics, both of the band and other artists. The former represents demos of the band in transition, going from the incredibly moody and dark “Fables Of The Reconstruction” to a more powerful product with new producer, Don Gehman. The latter is a bundle of odd covers and early versions that the band soon forgot. So sit back, relax, enjoy the ride, and look for more great titles in the future!
—Professor Jones

Sound of the demos is 6/10, maybe 7/10. I’d guess the bootleggers didn’t have an early generation tape to master this from. The live tracks are all over the map, some excellent quality, some poor. But that’s bootleggers for ya 😉

COMMENT

This is the first half of the Paisley Park concert, the second half can be found on Paisley Park Extravaganza Part 2. The release begins with an interview by the New Power Generation from July 1995 to promote the “Exodus” album. Prince (or Tora Tora) is not present, however it is a fairly interesting 8 minute long interview. Up next is a version of ‘Mad’ played by a DJ and recorded by a crowd member. I’m not entirely convinced it has been recorded at Paisley Park prior to the show starting for several reasons. Firstly the quality of the recording is vastly inferior to the quality of the show recording. Secondly the DJ makes reference to “The Artist Formerly Known As Prince is in town and will be playing in 20 minutes” – I doubt the announcement would be required before he hit the stage at Paisley Park. The version played is phenomenal and far superior to the circulating version. And so to the Paisley Park show itself. The quality of the recording is excellent, however it is a little bassy and Prince appears to be having problems with his microphone throughout the first half of the show. The real problem with the recording are a number of audience members standing close to the person recording. They are audible throughout and insist on either shouting inane comments to Prince throughout, or banging on their tambourine. They do get in the way on occasion, but on the whole they are pretty easily overlooked. The first half of the show is rather typical of many from the period. There are a few lyrics from ‘The Good Life (Big City Remix’) added to ‘Brick House’, and Prince is constantly addressing the crowd with various bizarre statements, such as “Are men from Mars, are women from Venus? Would you feel like a star if I showed you my….house”. Comes as part of Sabotage’s 3cd set packaged in a cardboard wrap-around sleeve.

COMMENT

The first half of this disc contains the second half of the Paisley Park 18th June show (the first half can be found on Paisley Park Extravaganza Part 1). The quality is exactly the same as the previous half of the show, and it unfortunately suffers from the same problems with certain audience members as the first half does. This portion of the show kicks off with a great version of ‘Big Fun’, and the show also appears to have the same microphone problems as the first half with Prince constantly shouting at the sound engineers to balance the levels out correctly. There is a track listed on here as ‘Volkswagen Blues’ which appears rather puzzling at first. It is listed on various on-line sites, along with Upton’s The Vault book as being an unreleased track, but it is nothing more than a seemingly improvised version of BB King’s “How Blue Can You Get” with Prince rearranging the lyrics to suit his own style – certainly not worthy of being classed as an unreleased track. The show closes with a very lengthy version of the ‘Santana Medley’. The second half of the disc is made up of the unreleased NPG 1995 project ‘New Power Madhouse’. As with the other discs in this 3cd set, this comes with it’s own jewel case and accompanying artwork – intended to be kept with the others in a cardboard warp-around sleeve. One of Sabotage’s earliest releases, and a very high quality product containing a great Love 4 One Another Paisley Park concert from mid 1995.

COMMENT

The final instalment of Sabotage’s fantastic Paisley Park 2cd set. This particular disc differs from the others as the show featured is the 18th September 1995 show played after a Gold Experience listening party was held. The show is far less structured than many from the same period with far more emphasis on loose jamming and various crowd chants. That said there is a stunning very guitar heavy version of ‘The Cross’ played. Tracks #7-10 are basically a long jam with various crowd call-and-chants centred around ‘Rock N Roll Is Alive’. Next up is the short 15 minute set played after the filming of various video’s for the Gold Experience and the Love 4 One Another broadcast on 10th October 1995 (listed as 7th October 1995 on the reverse sleeve). The set includes a version of ‘Love…Thy Will Be Done’ which Prince dedicates to Time Warner for releasing the Gold Experience album. The final bonus track is the radio broadcast of ‘Rock N Roll Is Alive’ by the Minneapolis DJ Tony Fly. The sound quality throughout is consistently excellent, however the 10th October 1995 recording is rather heavy with a fair amount of audience noise. On it’s own this is a great release, but combined with the other 2 discs from this 3cd set, it becomes a fantastic addition to an already quality filled release. A stunning early release from Sabotage.
