<p>Jon,</p>
<p>You weren't too coherent there, I was not sure what you meant.</p>
<p>But the ending jam was the high point.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's what I listened to by Cheap Trick, and it sounded like Lou Reed and VU's song...Cheap Trick covering the Velvet Underground?<br></br>They always seemed too nice for that, lol!</p>
<p>I don't recall Heart doing Ring Them Bells, although I have a substantial amount of Heart (both the group and personally!).</p>
<p>The first thing that comes to my mind is real…</p>

<p>Sure send it if you don't mind.</p>

<p>I liked Dylan on The All Star Jam! better than on Knocking since he was more coherent. I wasn't coherent in my first post, I think. </p>
<p></p>
<p>9 hours later? This time I kinda remembered.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheap Trick has a version of Waiting For The Man/Heroin on their Sex, America, Cheap Trick box set. However, it's not Robin Zander on vocals, it's actually Tom Petersson.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Heart does a cover of Ring Them Bells on their "Desire Walks On" album, see if you have that, if not…</p>

<div><font size="3">Jon,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Aw you are just being contrary, saying you like Lou Reed- the lone wolf who loves to disagree, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But hey, I like Lou Reed too, and enjoyed that strange choice of song.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The interesting thing about Dylan's singing (NOT signing, since he doesn't do hand language, lol), is that you never know what voice you are going to get.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">That 9 hours later has me confused.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Knocking On Heaven's Door was 3...and you never clearly stated which one you were leaning toward.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I thought you were a big Tom Petty fan and might choose him.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">For me, it was easy, the best song of the whole Concert was the closer, My Back Pages.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Oh by the way, tonight I listened to Cheap Trick do Waiting For The Man/Heroin- they covered the Velvet Underground didn't they?</font></div>
<div><div><font size="3">Thanks for the listen and writing, and hanging in there- next week something unexpected...not obvious,</font></div>

<p>Oh and that was a great question RJ- I have no idea why Springsteen wasn't there...he should have been.<br/>When he first came to notice Bruce was called the New Dylan, maybe Bob didn't like that.<br/>But I really don't know the reason.</p>

No, we are wrapping it up…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2012-10-27:6060463:Comment:741722012-10-27T05:30:22.425ZMike Pellhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/MikePell
<div><font size="3">RJ,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">No, we are wrapping it up with that wonderful version of My Back Pages, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">To tell you the truth, I found I needed a song to fill the last half hour, and Lou Reed was to me the best of the lot.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">He picked such an incredibly way out there song Dylan wrote, plus I like Lou.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The more I listened to it, the more I liked…</font></div>

<div><font size="3">The more I listened to it, the more I liked it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Tom Petty was outstanding with his choice, and he hung around to play with the guy he has always been compared to with that guitar work, Roger McGuinn.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It was so great to hear McGuinn sound uncannily like he did in 1965!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I HAD to play something by Dylan, and I thought that was the best song he did- but I also thought it could have been shorter.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Golden Pell going to My Back Pages is my obvious choice too- good to see you haven't lost your ear, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">In fact, you could throw away everything previous just to hear that brilliant collaboration.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I knew when I started that would be the terrific ending.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Everything else, however enjoyable, good or bad, was just leading up to that climax!</font></div>

<p>This was more like it. I like Lou Reed, and liked his version of whatever song he did. Curious, was he the geetar soloist?</p>
<p>The one thing that turned me off was Dylan's signing on Knocking On Heavens Door. That's the main reason I don't like him, it's like listenin to a cat squalling. Thankfully he was more coherent with the All Star Jam! at the end.</p>
<p>It's a tossup between 3 & 4 for me, I'm leaning toward this one.</p>

<p>So, we are wrapping it up with Lou Reed huh? It's a shame you actually found time to play that song...just kidding. I'm not a fan of Reed. Never have been. I'd like to say I have no idea why he's considered a legend, but I'm not knowledgeable enough on his material to make that claim. So I'll just stick with I don't like him as a musician.</p>

<p>The Tom Petty song was terrific. It almost got the GP, but not so fast. I also really dug the Roger McGuin (spelling?) tune. The guitar playing (once again) on the tune that Dylan did was fantastic.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Golden Pell is going to the closing superstar effort. My Back Pages. You are correct for liking that song so much. It's pretty brilliant.</p>
<p></p>
<p>One question. Unless I missed it, why was Springsteen not present? That surprised me.</p>
