Friday Funday: Blowing Up the Chicken Man

RtBE is headed down the highways of Jersey this weekend to catch Phish play in Atlantic City.  Should be a fun time, but I can not head to that town without listening to one of my favorite Bruce Springsteen gems, "Atlantic City".  However, I will state that this version by The Band may just be superior to the original:

This is a later day version of the group, but the three stalwarts, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm and Rick Danko are all present along with the criminally underrated Jim Weider

This group of musicians put fourth the album Jericho which is a fantastic listen and proved the fellas could still play some great rock and roll without Robbie Robertson.  Just talking about it makes me want to hear their cover of one of Bob Dylan's best songs, "Blind Willie McTell"

Wow, Rick kills it...Hmmm, maybe we should do a Monday Dylan Cover of that one in the near future...anyway, enjoy your weekend

    You should wait until you're at the Phish show to be hopped up on goofballs.
