| A spotlight on Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Shows... |
|
|
When BOB DYLAN's XM Satellite Radio Show debuted early last year, it was instant magic. Fans, critics and fellow artists were in complete agreement...Bob found a new niche as a Radio Host. It was only a matter of time that the underground seized the opportunity to wrap up the proceedings in bootleg fashion. Franny Records out of Japan actually started their first in a series of six-disc sets last fall on CDR, titled "Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour". The shows are indeed themed, with titles such as "Father", "Mother", "Wedding", "Divorce", "Jail", etc. and run about 55 minutes each. What is cool is that it's Bob at the mike, drawing on his vast history of music and influences and weaving stories and anecdotes into the proceedings. From the obscure to the famous and familiar, it's all fair game and a fabulous listen if you get the chance. Those that don't subscribe to satellite radio or if you're just a fan or curious collector, these shows are an excellent acquisition. Just coming into wider circulation in Europe are 2 brand new 10 CD Box Sets, "...with your host Bob Dylan - Theme Time Radio Hour" Volumes 1 & 2. The issuing label is still a bit of a mystery from where I sit, if anyone has any information on who is putting this series to silver disc please post a note below. While these boxes compile the first 20 radio shows, it certainly appears this is an on-going series. Power Gate will issue the RAINBOW 2CD + bonus DVD set, "Monsters Of Rock 1980", featuring an excellent audience tape source compiled with a proshot DVD of their August 16, 1980 show at Castle Donnington...coming from the Langley Deluxe Label is the BLUE MURDER 2CD, "Innocent Crime", that utilizes a stereo soundboard of the power-trio's Tokyo concert on August 25, 1989 - plus 5 bonus demo tracks from JOHN SYKES, TONY FRANKLIN and CARMINE APPICE. A strange choice by the Zion Label for a silver disc offering comes in May with the release of ERIC CARMEN "Tokyo 1980", which pairs two soundboard tapes from February 5th & 7th, 1980 of shows at Shibuya Kokaido and Nakano Sunplaza - along with a bonus DVD-R of a proshot tape from Nakano Sunplaza on February 10th, 1980 along with bonus video tracks from The Greek Theater in L.A. in August of 1988 and from Arista's 15th Anniversary Concert at Radio City Music Hall on March 17, 1990. Incidentally, for you RASPERRIES fans out there...Trial will also issue the single ERIC CARMEN disc "Bottom Line 1976" featuring a soundboard from April 3rd that comes with a bonus DVD-R of U.S. TV appearances that include his appearances on The Merv Griffin Show, Mike Douglas, American Bandstand and Midnight Special Television Shows. Wendy Records announced this past week that their next LED ZEPPPELIN title will be "Windy City Adventure" 3CD, the July 6, 1973 soundboard tape from the Chicago Auditorium...Empress Valley's "Everybody Feel Alright" 2CD of the fan-produced remaster L.A. Forum tape from March 27, 1970 hit the market last week while Tarantura's "Latter Day Saint" 2CD of another fan-enhanced tape from San Bernadino on June 22, 1972 will street this week...New ERIC CLAPTON titles from Mid-Valley include "Beautiful Day", a 2CD of his December 6th, 2006 Budokan show + 2DVD of that same show along with footage from November 23rd...and the first CLAPTON DVD-Audio effort from the label is "Rainbow Concert", a double-disc version of the infamous January 13th, 1973 comeback concert at London's Rainbow Theater with an all-star line-up that include STEVE WINWOOD, RICK GRECH, RON WOOD & PETE TOWNSHEND. A trio of new JOHN LENNON titles to mention..."This Is The Truth" 1CD featuring a 5.1 Dolby Digital mix of "Imagine" on the Beatles Boots Label, "Out Of The Blue" 1CD from Condor is a compilation of early mixes, demos, and alternates, and from Flo Records is the JOHN & YOKO CD "Night Ride", a BBC Radio show from December 12, 1968...and finally some new ROLLING STONES titles coming in May from SODD include "Oakland Coliseum Arena 1969 FM-SB" 1CD featuring what they term is soundboard/FM tape from the 2nd show at the Oakland Coliseum on November 9th, 1969 - the first 200 sets include the bonus CDR that contains a remastered Detroit audience tape from November 24th, 1969...and "An Afternoon In Munich" 1CD featuring the 1st Show from Munich Olympia Hall on September 28, 1973 (a great show!) with the bonus CDR in the first 200 copies that contains the September 9, 1973 Birmingham Odeon tape. Thanks for the time and support! That's all I've got for this week...keep your browsers pointed to the ticker and have yourself a great week. Svengi, April 23, 2007 |
