Very cool. Hope you get to see him. Remember to go heavy on the booze

Hey Dude.
Saratoga Performing Art Center June, 1978, Saw Crosby, Stills and Nash; July, Poco and America; July, Bonnie Raitt; August, Linda Ronstadt; September, the Marshall Tucker Band. Incredible summer of music with musicians at the peak of performances. Day time boating around Lake George, nighttime rockin' out to the best performers of their time.

Sounds like a great summer nothing like live music, the sun and a boat, I wish I could have been around for killer line up. My dad always tells me how great going to SPAC was back then BYOB according to him. My dad brought me to my first concert there, Allman Brothers.

Side note Rated number one outdoor venue 2016 http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-outdoor-music-venue/

I always enjoyed these covers more than the originals:

Staind playing "Black" by Pearl Jam

Johnny Cash covering "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails

Bruce Springsteen covering "Trapped" by Jimmy Cliff

Trent Reznor said Hurt was now Johnny's song, I'm not even sure if he still performs it at NIN concerts.

One song I like that was done by others still had the original performer (well at least one of them anyways) was Comfortably Numb, the live version done by Roger Waters in 1991 in Berlin. Waters did his original part in the song and Van Morrison and The Band (mainly Morrison) did the chorus on the song. It was the version played on The Departed. Van Morrison nailed it.

AMAZING! I've never heard him sing "Black". He's an excellent singer.

Johnny Cash is always good! Thnx for sharing.

(I'm not a Springsteen fan so I'm going with Jimmy C on that one )

And Dixie, you're OUT OF YOUR MIND saying that Van Morrison nails David Gilmour in "Comfortably Numb"!!! And I just saw Morrison in concert back in January and saw David Gilmour in March. So it's not like I don't enjoy Morrison. But you're reaching!

I recorded part of Gilmour singing "Comfortably Numb", at the LA Forum, take a listen.

NOW, listen to your version.

There's NO WAY Morrison nails it lmao Gilmour is the MASTER!!

AND listen to him play his guitar. Man, the guy shreds!! He's like 70 yrs old

(And the ppl who get in my video either talking or dancing around, I don't know. I do know that they were high as a kite, even I got a contact high at that concert.)

I'm not saying he sounded like him, I'm just saying his voice was perfect for the chorus of that song. I've never been a real big fan of Gilmour.

Oh, ok. You don't like Gilmour?

Sturgill Simpson's cover of In Bloom by Nirvana

AG...I love the Staind version of Black...but...it's just him doing an impression of Eddie Vedder. Good though!

Very true Fergie.

I'd have to say that Thelma Houston really nails the song "Don't Leave Me This Way", previously recorded by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Good lyrics. Meow. Great song to dance to too. Disco fever

I didn't read the whole thread but I like Disturbed cover of Sounds of Silence
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4[/video]

Ike and Tina Turner, “Proud Mary” (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
The Beatles, “Twist and Shout” (The Isley Brothers)
The Byrds, “Mr. Tambourine Man” (Bob Dylan)
The Clash, “I Fought the Law” (The Bobby Fuller Four)
Jimi Hendrix, “All Along The Watchtower” (Bob Dylan)
Johnny Cash, “Hurt” (Nine Inch Nails)

Almost any Dylan song covered by almost anyone. My favorites:

"All Along the Watchtower" - Hendrix
"My Back Pages" - Byrds
"It Ain't Me Babe" - Turtles

So true. The ONLY song I like Dylan singing is Positively 4th Street.

Ok, let's see if anyone can guess who sang the English version of this song. Who sang it and what was the song title?

Italian version - io che non vivo senza te

The one and only Dusty Springfield. She was a Goddess.

Correct. Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner! You win a trip out here to California, 80 degrees here today, Helen. Just bring me a NY pizza and some pignoli cookies and I'll take care of your expenses


Great song. Dusty singing. Words are a bit different but still wonderful.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QR4vE9xL3yk

80? Im jealous! I'll bring you pizza, coookies and even some pork roll so you'll feel like you're in NJ

I LOVE that song. So beautiful/sad. Dusty Springfield's voice is so distinctive.

Lmao Helen, good one. So true. Don't forget to bring your dancing shoes. New Year's Eve is just around the corner. It's either dancing or gambling this weekend or both

Isn't it so sad? She has to follow him and beg him to come home. Damn, I can't get rid of my hubby for more than a couple hours. I drop him off at the pizza parlor/ bar but he always manages to find his way home.

The Italian lyrics are even sadder

So true. Dylan's 30th anniversary concert, in '93, was a fabulous event. Only time the concert lagged was when Dylan was singing. He was awful. A parody of himself.

The version of "Live and Let Die" that was sung briefly in the film is great. Saw the film a few times and always meant to look up who did it.

B.J. Arnau





Quincy Jones version of Superstition is great also

Say what you want about his singing Dylan is an amazing songwriter, the best in my opinion

Yooo gaatta lotta nerve,to say u r my friend..

Very true but his singing hurts my ears

What do you think about Dylan's son? I like some of his music like One Headlight.

I thought of a song that Elvis sang called It's Now or Never which is the Italian song 'O Sole Mio. Lyrics were changed for Elvis. Both versions are fantastic.

That is understandable last Dylan show I went to I brought my gf, 3 songs in she asked me if we could go

His son is alright One Headlight was good he had a decent solo album but I like his father better
