Debunked almost immediately as it is from a period where his movements were tracked extensively by press and fans.

Oh and DA Pennebaker via Don't Look Back. This follows on nicely from our earlier discussion about the unsavoury behaviour of musicians, and Dylan was no different from the rest of them when it came to sex and drugs. However, as @Seat68 said, this particular case looks very shaky, based on the evidence, and I very much doubt it will get too far. But you never know.

veloman Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Bloomin 'ell , fabulous playing IMO . Don't know this bloke but he certainly is ace. One of the few to use Sonor drums (pronounced Zooner I 'm told by a German speaking mate). And brilliant reading from the brass section to come in with those little 'licks'. Excellent ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Heading down the M5 today just past Gloucester and I see on the back of a low loader the KLF policecar. It may not have been THE KLF police car, but it was an exact replica if it wasnt. No one in the car demonstrated the same enthusiasm I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 This might go against popular opinion as the myth of him endears himself to a lot of people, but I saw Seasick Steve on year at a festival. His set was a little shy of 2 hours and for me he was the most boring performer I ever saw. Different year, same festival, I endured The Blossoms (friends choice for both of these).

With John Mayall (reading the Beano) there were some great tracks (IMO) - Hideway - Steppin' Out for example. Then how many of you actually saw Cream? He was pretty damn good in them; but , I concede, relapsed to 'Lay Down Sally' and the God awful 'Wonderful Tonight'. Musically, I thought Jeff Beck has overtaken him - check out 'Day in The life' on Youtube - brilliant Vinni on drums and fabulous female bass player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) My favourite. Also the only John Mayall track I like. Lead guitarist I recall is Mick Taylor. Killing Time. Edited August 28, 2021 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
