Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan – Vol. 29-30

JS starts to get a bit tired of the whole effort starting in here somewhere and I can’t say I blame him at all. And I don’t have to collect the tracks and put ’em into an attractive collection and get the ball rolling and all that. I do start to understand his reluctance when I asked him if he’d want to put them back up again (mid 2018 I think).

On the other hand department – another struggle could be the VU collection for those, like me, who don’t have them all. Are they still active here? Other candidates: Pink Floyd; Neil Young; John Mellencamp; nominations for yr choice candidate, like eg. some women, maybe?

The peculiar thing about this release is the title, “Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan.” These are NOT Dylan songs, but his covers of traditional songs. One wonders how they decided on the misleading description.

Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 29: Time is a Jet Plane

It’s been a long time, but after finally getting my hands on the Esquires’ (David Rawlings and Gillian Welch) version of “Idiot Wind,” I figured it was time for a comeback. There are three others from that same PEN tribute to Dylan, plus lots of other new names and four songs not previously in the series. Plus the Flatt and Scruggs version of “Mama You’ve Been On My Mind,” as seen on The Beverly Hillbillies (where it was dedicated to Granny).

As always, a big thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the nice folks who’ve sent me recordings, the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. An extra big big shout-out to PDiamond for sending me copies of all the earlier volumes after my hd crash; thanks as well to everyone else who offered! 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). If you’ve got something good that deserves consideration for future volumes, PM me.

Mary Allin Travers (November 9, 1936 – September 16, 2009) was an American singer-songwriter and member of the folk music group Peter, Paul and Mary, along with Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey. Peter, Paul and Mary was one of the most successful folk music groups of the 1960s. Unlike most folk musicians of the early 1960s who were a part of the burgeoning music scene in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Travers grew up there. A contralto, Travers released five solo albums in addition to her work with Peter, Paul and Mary. (picture w/ bob?) May she rest peacefully.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was my first Bridge School Benefit and I was so glad to be there. I’ve seen/recorded four Bridge School Benefits and this one was my favorite. I don’t know if it was the band line up, or because it my first Bridge show, or if it was because of Bill Graham’s recent passing, but there was a lot of energy in the air. I really wanted to record a Bridge show, after having obtained 1st generation cassettes of the 1989 show. I believe that this is the first time that I recorded Neil Young. My friends Dave, Brian, and Rick met up with my ex wife and me at the show. They had reserved seats, while I wanted to be near the repeater speakers on the lawn to record. Dave told me that, though there was a pat down search getting into Shoreline, they would allow you to bring in food. I had the idea to take a small box of saltine crackers and hollow it out. I cut down the cellophane wrappers and only left about 15 crackers in each wrapper. My D6 fit perfectly inside the box, and I left it open with the remaining crackers exposed. We brought in a small tupperware of sliced cheese and cold cuts, and some sealed bottled water. I had a canvas bag with a solid sturdy bottom to hold everything. I took the microphones and custom XLR >RCA shortened cables and used a velcro Ace Bandage to conceal them on my body. Fortunately, being November, we had heavy coats that further concealed the gear. (It was really cold up on that lawn in November!) I opened the bag when we went through security, being careful to not let the gate people notice the added weight of the recorder inside, and we went in without a hitch. I ran the Nakamichi microphones in a Levi jacket, with holes sewn into the front two pockets so the capsules would protrude. I used hollowed out 35 mm film can lids to go over the microphone bodies to keep them from falling through the bottom of the pockets. As long as I stood near the repeater speakers it worked really well. I also had long hair that I wore down to further conceal the microphones. The recorder went into a hip pack so I was totally self contained. This was a really emotional weekend, with the recent death of Bill Graham. Tracy Chapman dedicated ‘Amazing Grace’ to Bill during her set. Nils Lofgren, who played the most touching set of any Bridge set I ever saw, made repeated references to Bill and told a story of getting caught by Graham trying to sneak into the Fillmore East. Nils Lofgren’s song ‘Big Tears Fall’ was very powerful. Nils asked the crowd if there were any parents in the crowd, and I remember thinking of our daughter Lucy, who was born in May of ’91 and was at home with Nikki’s folks while we went to the shows. I had just recorded two very emotional Grateful Dead shows at the Oakland Coliseum on October 27 and October 31. The 10/27/91 show was the first Dead show after Bill’s helicopter crash, (They opened with Bill’s favorite Dead song ’Sugar Magnolia’), and the Halloween show featured Ken Kesey as a special guest. After the Bridge School Benefit show, Nikki and I drove my ’67 VW camper bus to Atherton where we parked in front of my friend Karl’s friend’s parent’s house. Sunday morning we got up early and drove to Golden Gate Park to record the Bill Graham Benefit, which was another emotional all day event. It was billed as ‘Laughter, Love, And Music’. It was quite the weekend. I heard later that Dave, who didn’t stay overnight to see the Sunday Bill Graham memorial concert, ran out of gas driving his friends home in the middle of the night near Santa Margarita, CA.

ONT Notes-
This show was so very emotional, being Bill’s tribute concert. I had mail order tickets to both the 10/27 and 10/31 shows, and recorded both of those in the taper section. 10/27/91 was the 1st show after Bill’s unfortunate accident, and 10/31/91 was most definitely the most powerful Dead show I’ve ever witnessed, with Ken Kesey coming out during Drums / Space. We had recorded Neil Young at the Bridge Benefit at Shoreline the night before the memorial show in the park. After the Bridge show I stayed the night in my VW bus parked in front of a friend of a friend’s place in Atherton. We got up the next morning and drove up to Golden Gate Park. Even early in the morning the crowds were terrible. This was the last trip that I had made in my restored ’67 VW camper bus. I retired it right after and it sat in the garage for a year before I sold it. I always thought that the Bill Graham memorial was a fitting ‘last ride’. I recorded the memorial show with my triple set of Nakamichi CM-300s->Sony TC-153SD cassette portable. I also ran my D6 so I could give masters to a friend. We were 3/4th of the way back between the stage and the repeaters, on the right side. (I shot some b&w photos with a Pentax MX and 50 mm f/1.7 lens. I was working as a darkroom tech at Photo Ad then, and made large proof sheets of my film on graphic arts paper after the show. I scanned some of the frames to put with the music files.) I remember thinking that it started of crowded and got progressively more packed with people as the day wore on. I think the Chronicle said something like 300,000 people in the park. I believe it! It reminded me of something that I saw on Sesame Street when I was a little kid in the early 70s. They took a large pickle jar and filled it with small stones. ‘Is it full? No, we can add more.’ And they poured in small ball bearings. ‘Is it full? No, we can add more’. Then they added sand, and then water. Finally it was full. The crowd at the Polo Fields that day brought back that memory, with more and more people pushing their way in. I remember all the bands that day and also Robin Williams who did some stand up comedy between sets. I also remember the plane that dropped flowers. The Dead closed the show, before the encores, with ‘Sunshine Daydream, having played ‘Sugar Magnolia (Bill’s favorite Grateful Dead song) to open the 10/27/91 show, to complete the piece. John Fogerty played with the Dead and sounded ragged, but good, but at least it was nice to hear him. It was only about two years before that he played with Bobby and Jerry at the Oakland Stadium AIDS Benefit. I remember thinking that there had been a lot of historical shows in the park at that spot and this was going to be another one. I’ll never forget it. 😦
