David Bowie, ever the showman, decided to celebrate his 50th birthday in 1997 with a working concert in New York City. The setlist included seven songs off the upcoming album Earthling, but was notable for a huge variety of guests - plenty from the 90s, some working as Bowie's contemporaries - that contributed. Soundboard recording of an excellent show that contributed one of the most cursed photographs ever. Featuring: Frank Black, Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters, Robert Smith, Sonic Youth, Gail Ann Dorsey, Lou Reed, Billy Corgan.

George Harrison - Every Grain Of Sand (fan edit)

 Now here’s a contentious one!!! I very nearly didn’t post this one but it is undoubtedly lovely 

Is this where AI leads or is it something else? The poster says its not AI and on YouTube says:

"This is a fan made edit utilising George's impromptu radio performance from 1987 with Bob Dylan's 1981 backing track. Bob Dylan is featured on backing vocals and harmonica. It was created in celebration of George and Bob's enduring friendship and of George's 80th Birthday."

2023!

so I don’t know why I didn’t spot it before 

hhmmm . . . . . conflicted and not sure  . . it sure is a beauty

This song was performed live on radio with only an acoustic guitar accompaniment. George Harrison sings lead and lead guitar, while Jeff Lynne plays backup (rhythm) guitar and does some background vocals, although he can barely be heard. the poster says he overdubbed Dylan harmonic and his guitar playing too. Not entirely sure about that

Fakir!

Lyrics:

Now you got a chance to bleed now

Now you got a chance to bleed now…

down south, east coast blues on a comeback

With a microphone too hot too hold, scream into it

Now you got a chance to bleed now

playin a sad refrain… all down your brain

Aw but, baby, I do, and it’s all… for… you

That’s why I’m gonna sing it for you 

S’all right…” sweet mama doncha let that feedback fall You got a chance to bleed now… That’s why I’m gonna sing it for you: “Well, now’s your chance…” “with that old time, lofi, diy, rock n’ roll… nights!” (x2)

in real time, from the heart, playin live, band o’ bros

And I’ve been comin back my whole damn life

Now you’ve got a chance to bleed now, you know it’s true…

like the days of old, my jelly b-b-baby, my roll my roll,

“So open up and bleed, Kurt”

(Things these days don’t seem to be connecting)

“with that old time, lofi, diy, rock n’ roll… nights!”

Scream into it like the days of old, my jelly b-b-baby,

my roll my roll, sweet mama doncha let that feedback fall

from your fingertips a wurlitzer is covered in blood

“You got it!” (You got that chance to…)

“things these days don’t seem to be connecting”

Now you got a chance to bleed now…

“with that old time, lofi, diy, rock n’ roll nights!”

Now you got a chance to bleed now

“with that old time, lofi, diy, rock n’ roll… nights!”

You got a chance to bleed now

(with that old time, lofi, diy…)

Ya’ do… that’s why I’m gonna sing it for

(“open it up and bleed!”)

DANGEROUS MINDS | Bob Dylan’s Screen Test with Andy Warhol 1965

 DANGEROUS MINDS: ART

The day of Bob Dylan’s screen test with Andy Warhol, 1965

Tom Taylor

Mon 6 April 2026 17:22, USA

Famous visitors and “beautiful people” with “star potential” who flocked to Andy Warhol’s Factory studio in the 1960s were often shot for one of his notorious “screen tests”. 

These quirky audition tapes, usually for nothing at all, were silent “parodies” of the Hollywood studio system. No one was really auditioning for anything; it was just an excuse to run a single reel of 16mm film through his Bolex camera and engage someone in a staring contest with it, one they normally lost.  

 

Some of the more notable subjects included Italian model Benedetta Barzini, model/actrress Marisa Berenson, poet Ted Berrigan, manic artist Salvador Dalí, folk gobshite Donovan, toilet man Marcel Duchamp, Mama Cass, Allen Ginsberg, Beck’s mother, Bibbe Hansen, Baby Jane Holzer, Dennis Hopper, actress Sally Kirkland, Nico, Yoko Ono, Lou Reed, photographer Francesco Scavullo, Edie Sedgwick, Susan Sontag, Paul Thek, Viva and Mary Woronov. 

That’s quite a list, and it isn’t even complete. So, it is suffice to say that Warhol was rather fond of these little experimental films. They formed the perfect confluence of everything he loved: fame, experimentalism, simplicity, and how stars can be made and unmade in a few minutes flat. 

(Credits: Dangerous Minds / Nat Finkelstein)

When Dylan stopped by the tin-foil-covered Factory, he is alleged to have taken an immediate dislike to Warhol and the “phonies” of his entourage. It has long been suspected that the spitting lyrics of ‘Like a Rolling Stone’, in part, describe Dylan’s feelings about Warhol. Was Warhol “the diplomat on the chrome horse” at the centre of his tirade against tired posers?

Beyond being wary that Warhol’s ‘causes’ might be paper-thin, Dylan was also enraged about the artist’s perceived exploitation of Edie Sedgwick. The seething ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ singer was at one point romantically involved with Sedgwick. She was even his muse for some of Blonde on Blonde.

All the same, Dylan trudged along for a screen test and a chat. After the sequence was shot, Dylan grabbed a large silkscreen (as “payment”) that Warhol was going to give him anyway and headed for the door before allegedly strapping the canvas to the roof of a station wagon. Such was his dislike of the artist that he later traded the piece to his manager, Albert Grossman, for a couch. 

That silkscreen, ‘Double Elvis’ – and artwork that loomed over Dylan’s surreal Factory meeting – is now part of the permanent collection at MOMA. It is said to be worth many times more than a crooked second-hand couch.

Beyond the inherent value behind Warhol rustling up an Elvis print, it is now also imbued with a mad cultural moment. It is a moment that Factory photographer Nat Finkelstein remembered very clearly. “Andy gave Bobby a great double image of Elvis. Bobby gave Andy short shrift. Shooting and plundering finished, the Dylan gang headed for the door, me and my Nikon on their heels,” he wrote back in 1965 in his diary. 

“They left as they had entered… ‘Bobby the Waif’ emerging as ‘Robert the Triumphant’. They departed having tied the Elvis image to the top of their station wagon,” he comically recalled, “Like a deer poached out of season.” 

In truth, maybe that analogy is pretty apt. If Warhol had stationed the looming Elvis purposefully, then perhaps Dylan proverbially shot it down like prey and claimed his mantle as the new type of icon who stood outside the clique of fame Warhol was clearly so keen on. As Dylan would soon sing in a line loaded with meaning in light of this anecdote, “He really wasn’t where it’s at”.
