Readers of this blog know that I've often discussed WNEW-FM in New York, the station I grew up on, the station whose motto was "Where Rock Lives" and the station where rock was often LIVE, as they broadcast countless concerts to the tri-state area.  Today, we have one of those live broadcasts a concert featuring Warren Zevon at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ celebrating the stations's 20th anniversary, on August 26, 1994, 17 years ago today. Warren Zevon opened the night, followed by The Band.

For Crosby, Stills and Nash, the year 2009 marked the 40th anniversary of their first shows together (along with sometime companion Neil Young). Despite their on again, off again relationships with each other and Neil, CSN somehow endured the test of time. For their 2009 tour, the trio, who in the past rarely played any songs but their own in concert, broke from tradition and added numerous cover songs to their set list. Those tunes included rock classics such as Ruby Tuesday, Girl from North Country and Uncle John's Band, just to name three. CSN had supposedly been working with producer Rick Rubin on an album of cover songs, but that never has materialized. In any event, you can hear CSN's take on these rock classics in this high quality audience recording of their show from Clearwater on August 22, 2009, 2 years ago today.

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin' - AGAIN & AGAIN - Some Good News

Well, the saga of Bob and his boots just keeps rolling along (see below the dotted line for some past history). Looks like Mr. Dylan, much like Mr. Morrison, has fired Web Sheriff. Hooray! More and more sites have been posting Dylan bootlegs in recent weeks. I'm slowly going to restore therefore, all the posts and links that I have to Dylan concerts. I've started with 3 shows of Bob with The Band from 1974. Just go to the artist list in the sidebar, click on either Bob Dylan or The Band, then scroll down till you find the show. The links to the concert, as always, in in the middle of the post. Enjoy! I'll keep you posted as I restore more links! And lets hope this time these can stay up for everyone to enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the last few months, the saga of Bob Dylan bootlegs has been quite a roller coaster ride. At one point, I got word that DIME had banned all Bob Dylan bootlegs because they had been threatened with legal action if they did not remove them from their site. Then I heard that DIME has taken Dylan off the banned list and could once again post his shows! Then on Wednesday, all my Dylan posts were removed by Megaupload. I put them all back up, only to find out 30 minutes ago, they were all taken down again. So at this point, I am not going to repost those shows. I don't want to take a risk that my site is taken down or that my Megaupload account is canceled. Looks like we will have to live without any of Mr. Robert Zimmerman. Its a shame that Dylan has taken the Van Morrison route, but at least there's plenty of other great music to share.

Update as of April 5 - Mr. Zimmerman has hired Web Sheriff, following in the footsteps of Van Morrison. They contacted me yesterday to remove all my Dylan posts, which I had left on my site so folks could read about the shows, even though I had deleted the links to the music weeks ago! Seems that they don't want any references to Bob's bootlegs on the web, including posting of the set lists and artwork! So, I've removed them all to protect my site from any legal action. The only reference you'll find on this site, therefore, to Bob Dylan is this one! As I said above, it's a shame, but we have plenty of other music for you!

In March 1962, Bob Dylan released his self-titled debut album, which was produced by Columbia's legendary talent scout John H. Hammond, who had signed Dylan to the label. The album featured folk standards, with only 2 two original compositions, Talkin' New York and "Song to Woody. The disc failed to chart, and sold barely enough copies to break even. As a result, some at Columbia referred to Dylan as “Hammond’s Folly”. How wrong they were. This soundboard recording captures Dylan later that same year on July 2, 1962, 49 years ago today. Download this one to hear Dylan at the very beginning of his legendary career.
