bob dylan + merle haggard on tour
Bob Dylan's hitting the road again in March and April, this time with Merle Haggard in tow. 2 things to know from my experience at 3 shows last year: a) he's playing the piano, not the guitar and b) it's great anyway, probably as good as any time in the last 20 years. Just don't go expecting to hear a solo acoustic version of "It's Alright Ma . . ."
Pre-sales for the Boston Orpheum shows are going on right now - details and full tour schedule here.
There are some very good recordings of recent and ancient live stuff here. There's even stuff from the famous "Bonnie Beecher Apartment Tape" during the early Minneapolis days. More a curiosity than anything.

By "more a curiosity than anything", I mean only the Bonnie Beecher tape. There are some real gems in the rest of the stuff.
