Dylan Cover #673 Van Morrison-"Just Like A Woman" 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 Van Morrison playing "Just Like A Woman"

Thoughts on Original:

From the first time we covered a cover of this song:

There are a lot of songs about the greatest muse known to man, woman. This one may top the 60's generation when it comes to dealing with Mars and Venus. Respectful in one breath and slightly mocking the next, Dylan can sense the pain, and I think there is a clear honesty in those words. Well maybe "clear" is the wrong term to use, nothing is ever clear with this subject matter. Treating the topic honestly Dylan tackles the differences between the sexes and the difficulties of relationships. Bob nailed this one making it one of his all-time greats. 

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:
Van Morrison has some amazing albums and some not so amazing. RtBE are big fans of the era of Morrison that this song was recorded during. 

Thoughts on Cover:

A slowed down dramatic live rendition that works with Broadway like hits and builds. Van the man always loved the drama. RtBE also had to pick an Irishman to cover Dylan today. Happy St. Patrick's Day.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wishing everyone a happy safe and fun St. Patrick's Day from RtBE and we might as well throw in a self plug.

Here is Angels & Vagabonds Irish inspired tune, "Queens Boulevard Serenade":



The story goes...in the lead up to our first St. Paddy's Day gig our band (Angels & Vagabonds) were working on some traditional Irish songs to play and our lead singer/keyboard player Don McNally realized they were basically all the same chords just re-arraigned.

So the Irish American from Woodside, Queens, NYC dug into his past and crafted QBS. He brought it to the group and after a few tweaks it was ready for prime time, we actually played it only about a week after it was written. 

A little inside baseball into our process, now go celebrate by hoisting a pint....Happy St. Paddy's!

St. Patrick's Day Flashback to 2006: The Pogues and Scythian

This will be the first year in a long time that I will not be in NYC for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. The holiday has a special place in my heart as my father marched in every St. Patrick's Day Parade he was able to from the 60's until the Pandemic. In looking back at some old writing, I found this from 2006 and wanted to share it. Reminds me of why I love the city on this day more than most. Cheers, Sláinte! 

The Pogues...In NYC...On St. Patrick's Day

Live Review: Murphy's Law & NRSV St. Patrick's Day 2019

Hey all, got a new review up @glidemag which you can read Right C'here!!!

It is of the recent Murphy's Law and No Redeeming Social Value show held on St. Patrick's Day at Bowery Electric in NYC. Both bands are some of our favorite of all-time in the NYHC scene and we are friends with them both.

While we have caught better shows from each of them, this was a fun night within spitting distance of CBGB's as the groups and crowd imbibed in drunken stoned mayhem.

Support the artists, read the review, and peep some video below:
