Gm.netCan't say I'm gone for the holiday yet (I will be on .net on thanksgiving) and black friday is something I have done once and may never do again. It was fun but this year I lack the motivation to do it I have a bunch of other stuff to do this weekend. But yeah had this crazy dream I went to NYE last night...not sure how i got tickets.

GM.Net Trying to catch up from all the slaking these last two weeks; my boss left and we have been unattended. This morning my second level has taken her place. I feel iron eyes staring holes into my head through my puter. We get a new boss someday soon, but till then...yikes. i wonder why someone two states away can incite such fear. Oh well, it's early, I'll be back to my slackin' self by 10am, I'm sure.

Good morning everyone! Yes, trying to get through a bunch of work so I can actually take advantage of our early closing tomorrow (2:00).Interesting time at Dylan last night.
I enjoyed Mark Knopfler quite a bit more than I thought I would. He's a good frontman, with an excellent "storyteller" vibe and it's clear he surrounds himself with VERY talented people. I wouldn't call this a complaint, but his sound is so atmospheric that, at times, it almost felt like I was listening to a movie score. Lots of head bobbing, and even a little toe tapping.
Dylan. It was great to see him. "Voice" of a movement. Historical. But, and this is nothing new, his voice is brutal. Always has been, but he now sounds like some Frankensteinian amalgam of Yoda and Timmy.
And the crowd was weird. I've been in plenty of shows where people sit. I've never been at a show of this size where the entire audience just sat and watched. No lights to speak of. Maybe it's me, but music without dancing makes me kind of.......bored? IDK. Is that blasphemy?
He played a good set, although I have no idea what his other shows have been like to compare:
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Things Have Changed
Tangled Up In Blue
Early Roman Kings
Chimes Of Freedom
Rollin' and Tumblin'
Desolation Row
Highway 61 Revisited
Mississippi
Thunder On The Mountain
Ballad Of A Thin Man
Like A Rolling Stone
All Along The Watchtower
Blowin' In The Wind
Glad I went. Won't be going back. It's clear that while I can listen to Bob...I don't hear Bob. And that's ok with me.
Score: 3
Nice analysis.Speaking of blasphemy, I probably wouldn't go see Dylan unless given a free ticket. To a local show. By someone I really like hanging out with.
Mark Knopfler on the other hand, I'd like to see.
I wouldnt mind going and checking out music seated in a comfy cushioned seat in a nice theater. I'd actually like it. Cant really get Em on board for jazz or orchestral or similar type stuff though. But I've been really wanting to spread out. We've got the Flynn up here as a great resource too.
Score: 0
@mfhgreyboy, Tom Marshall was there last night. I am guessing if you ran into him you would have mentioned it.I saw Dylan with Phil and Friends back in 99-00(?) in New Haven. I was not blown away by Dylan but like you said it was cool to see him. I had a great time with some fungus on that night so I remeber the night fondly
Score: 0
@Johnnyd I dont see any real good classical concerts coming up at the Flynn but the Wynton Marsalis with Lincoln Center would be pretty darn good I would bet. Try to find a recording of Wynton playing Haydn Trumpet Concerto in E flat Major and be prepared to be amazed by his range. Amazing!

good morning (almost noon). I like thanksgiving. I was actually born on Thanksgiving day (the 27th. same bday as Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee!). So, I have a special place in my heart for Thanksgiving. I love when the bday and thanksgiving coincide. it's a built in party!I've seen Bob Dylan once and I thought it was awesome. The buddy I went with did, too. he's seen him a few times and has commented that the other shows have not been so great. it seems to have something to do with the sound quality. I saw him in a small ballpark in lowell or northampton, MA... one of those two towns I think. And, the sound was awesome. open air, good mix, great band. The sound quality did the trick.

Just about go time. Strategy is to check on the sandwich specials and soups of the day at 2 different delis, then the taco specials at the taco shop, then make a decision on the fly.
