Dylan Cover #567 Avett Brothers "Tangled Up In Blue" Live

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Avett Brothers performing "Tangled Up In Blue" 

Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this track:
Wow. The song that never ends, the tune that might just best sum up Dylan, if that is remotely possible. Dylan constantly toyed with this song (check out the Rolling Thunder and Real Live version's if you haven't yet) and even he knows it can't stay stagnant in one form for long, so covering it is a good bet.  Needless to say it is in the top 5 greatest songs he ever wrote if we were ranking them...hmm.

Cover:


Thoughts on Cover Artist:
RtBE have reviewed the Avett's in the past, they are fine, but we never really got into them. 

Thoughts on Cover:

A very upbeat cover that gets after it and includes the 80's influenced female backing vocals. While it never truly soars, it is a fun live version of this fantastic song. 

Full Show Friday: Enslaved Live at Hellfest 2016

We search the murky back waters of youtube to find full concerts and post them to the site weekly, come back every seven days to help us celebrate Full Show Friday's. These shows are of varying quality and may not be here for long so enjoy them while you can...As always, please support the artist every which way, but especially by seeing them live (if they are still playing). This week...Enslaved! 

It is upon us! BLACK Friday! In a tradition we started a few years ago it is time for the most evil Black Metal ever; because really it is the perfect soundtrack if you are hitting the brutality of shopping on this day. Granted we here at RtBE are not fans of the genre (or shopping) but have researched a few bands after enjoying the documentary Until The Light Takes Us.

We return to Hellfest 2016 and here comes the Norwegian fire breathers Enslaved as this years entry for Black Friday. While they started more traditional Black Metal they have evolved out of it a bit.  Anyways...

Dylan Cover #500 Dead and Company - "Knockin' On Heavens Door" Live

 In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Dead and Company playing "Knockin' On Heaven's Door".

This month we have a special focus on artists who will be playing the 2021 Jazzfest in New Orleans. Today we highlight Dead and Company who played Saturday October 9th.

Once again Jazzfest is canceled due to Covid. Hopefully it happens in April-May of 2022.

Thoughts on Original:
From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:
The song that seems to have been covered by every and any one, but when originally recorded it it was featured on one of Dylan's oddest releases yet. A straight ahead mournful number that just seems to work somehow and like a lot of Dylan tunes has grown beyond it's humble beginning. The song is really a testament to his amazing songwriting which can seem simple at times. The tune has invaded culture (possibly because of all the covers) and I would wager it is one of Dylan's most widely known tunes...

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
While we love the Grateful Dead here at RtBE, even going so far as to call them the Best American Band, Dead and Co are not our favorite post Jerry incarnation. Always nice to hear the boys playing any sort of music these days though, especially a good take on a classic. 

Thoughts on Cover:

Since we started this series with a version of the Dead covering a Dylan tune, (after switching our Monday's series from Dead shows to Dylan Covers in February 2011)  RtBE figured we would bring it back full circle with a Dead-ish cover for #500.  Shocking we kept this series going so long. Here's to the next 500 covers. 

The Dead and Dylan go hand in hand. It was the Dead who inspired Dylan to begin his Never Ending Tour, revamping his songs and playing style endlessly....As for the cover presented today...This version is slow and drawn out with poignant guitar solos and nice harmonies. Very well done. 

Full Show Friday: Kermit Ruffins & The BBQ Swingers Live at the Blue Nile 5/27/16

Every April we have a special showcase for bands who are playing this years Jazzfest in NOLA. In 2021 Jazzfest is happening in October, so we will have a special Full Show Friday this month. Today we will focus on Kermit Ruffins & The BBQ Swingers who will be playing Sunday October 10th.

Once again Jazzfest is canceled due to Covid. Hopefully it happens in April-May of 2022.

Here is the legendary Kermit Ruffins leading his band through a great set of tunes at one of his very familiar stomping grounds on Frenchman Street, Blue Nile. A fun upbeat set of tunes from back in 2016.

For October The Masters focuses on Bruce Springsteen

Here comes the Jersey Devil for our October Masters Series as The Boss has been wowing fans for decades now and his live shows are things of legends. All Full Show Friday's this month will be a testament to these and get ready because we have some doozy's lined up. 

Thanks to our resident Springsteen expert Tom Gallagher for curating this month's Friday concerts.

Today we go to a more modern show from 2016 in Rome proving Springsteen and crew are still delivering the grade A goods. Bruce was revisiting The River, playing it in it's entirety this tour and the massive crowd at the Circus Maximus ate it up. RtBE was lucky enough to catch this tour and review the Brooklyn show. It ended up being one  of the best concerts we saw all year.

Different fan videos with pretty solid sound. Enjoy:

Our favorite tune from that is the second one performed here, "'65 Hunnid".
