Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 10: Next Time You See Me Comin’
This one begins and ends with some very special performances. The first track is from the final Grateful Dead show, which was the final show Jerry Garcia ever played; this was the final Dylan cover he ever performed. The last track is the last song from the concert Bob Weir played with his band Ratdog on the night of the day Jerry died. In between are a batch of exceptional performances, including a rendition of “Hard Rain” by Dylan-producer Daniel Lanois that is from one of the best shows I have ever been to; the whole show is currently available on Dime, and should be in every music lover’s collection.
This will be the final entry in this series for 2006, as I am going on vacation and leaving my computer behind. But I hope to come back with more in 2007, so keep the suggestions and files coming! As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, and especially the performers and composer. Pdiamond and dsgtrane have been kind enough to create great artwork for the first nine volumes, and hopefully one or both of them or someone else will do the same for this one. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Enjoy!
