Speedy says "I saw The Band live just twice, both times in 1985. The first concert, in August at Pier 84 in New York, they were the lead in for CSN. The 2nd show, in October, they headlined at one of their favorite venues, the Lone Star Cafe.
This FM broadcast captures The Band in Toronto on June 21, 1984, 42 years ago today and about a year before I saw them live. They were leading in for the Grateful Dead at a benefit concert for SEVA. The SEVA foundation, an international health organization, works with local communities around the world to develop self-sustaining programs that preserve and restore sight. Since 1979, rock musicians have partnered with SEVA to raise funds for their work. In addition to the Grateful Dead & The Band, Bruce Hornsby, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash, Country Joe McDonald, Maria Muldaur and Paul Simon, just to name a few, have participated in dozens of shows to support SEVA. (go here for more on SEVA benefit concerts). Just another example of rock and roll working for social change."

Xray says:
"Following the February 1970 release of their classic debut album,
The Faces gigged far and wide, their rowdy and raucous style
earning a devoted following.
This classic performance from the Fillmore West, San Francisco,
CA on October 28th 1970, was originally broadcast on KFOG-FM
and finds them at their infectious best, on a selection of classics
culled both from their catalogue and from Rod Stewart’s solo work."

Four Tops : Animal Predators that is! How to stay COOL! HEATWAVE approaching!
I was learning about the polar bear and they featured on the news last night in terms of their being monitored somewhere up North just shy a hundred miles from the North Pole! They maybe cool, but they sure ain’t cute and heck they ain’t cuddly but these days folks need to be TOLD!!!
There are four main top animal predators that will actively hunt man
Lions, tigers, leopards and
Polar bears!
Only one of these will not stop to pursue you for miles until it has caught its prey
The polar bear!
It can eviscerate you with one blow of its paw
It will start to eat you before you are dead (tbf most predators will will!)
It is considerably faster than you and it’s stamina means it will pursue you for days if needs be!
You better hope you have a functioning vehicle as the only way to beat it is to run away in a transport that it cannot follow
If it finds you in a cabin it will stay encamped outside until either you come out or it can get in
It simply won’t stop trying
It will not stop

Birthdays: the legendary Brian Wilson was born in Inglewood, California on this day in 1942.
Never the greatest fan of Surf Music (and what was a Little Deuce Coup? ) but then something happened and people started singing about vegetables and their pets and I thought well something’s happening . . . . . . . I started picking up good vibrations

Remembering the great Chet Atkins (June 20, 1924 – June 30, 2001)
My beloved brother, Steve, loved Chet Atkins, me not so much and whilst I appreciated the technique it left me somewhat cold as I was looking for expressionism and feeling, Chet seemed too absorbed in technique but master of his craft none the less
Chet Atkins advice on how to play:#1 It is in the hands, the individual touch, and in the expression of emotion that touches the inner soul, not the equipment.#2 Play a style that you want to play, not one that you think others want you to play.#3 When learning a song, the first thing is to figure out the chords, find the substitution, and the inversions that will enhance the tune.#4 Do not memorize the song, but only “kind of know it.” That way it is an expression of emotion at that moment.#5 When you play, don’t play mechanically, play like you are singing the notes.#6 Don’t learn from tab.#7 Play like yourself…be recognized by your style.#8 Don’t copy. It’s okay to borrow, but never copy.#9 Most importantly, don’t over-play. (Chet said, “ A good musician should be like a good poet, he should use as few notes (or words) as possible to convey the thought and feeling.” Les Paul said essentially the same thing. He felt that overplaying is a sure sign of a poor musician, and that while you may appear to be a flashy at first, it will tire the listener eventually, and you lose the respect of others. Chet felt that when playing with others, a good musician should not showboat, but instead hang back and help others sound their best.# 10 Don't over-stay your welcome. Chet said, "There's a difference between being an artist and being an entertainer. An entertainer knows when to leave the stage."#11 Slow down so the listener can savor your music. Fast and flashy is unnecessary and usually undesirable.# 12 Stay close to the melody. Don’t just play notes to fill up space.#13 Musical rests are just as important as the notes.#14 Help others be successful.Source: TDPRI Forum.Photo: Wolf Hoffmann

Flagging Down The Double Es : Being Bob Dylan's Stand-In (at the secret 20117 Nobel taping) | RAY PADGETT
| Being Bob Dylan's Stand-In |
Conor Lumsden, who stood in for Bob Dylan at the secret 2017 Nobel taping, shares his surreal story
 |
When I interviewed director John Hillcoat a couple months ago about his work with Bob Dylan, he sent me a bunch of photos from his various shoots with Bob. One you can see above, from the secret 2017 Nobel performance-video taping outside Dublin. When I looked at this photo, though, something seemed off. That guy standing by the piano sort of looks like Dylan, but not quite, right? Then I noticed Hillcoat had typed a caption: “Stand-ins.”
A stand-in is someone who, as the term says, stands in for someone else. It’s common in the film world. You don’t want to make a famous actor just stand there for hours while the crew adjusts the lighting, so you find someone roughly the same height and build to do it. In Hillcoat’s photo, you see a bunch of other people standing in for Dylan and the band—people who are roughly the same size, wearing roughly the same clothes. In addition to fake Bob Dylan, you’ve got, from left, fake Donnie Herron, fake Charlie Sexton, fake Tony Garnier, and fake George Receli. (And, looking more closely now, I think that “piano” is a stand-in too.)
When I posted my Hillcoat interview on Instagram, one comment caught my eye. @music.city.conor posted: “Being Bob’s stand in was the best job I ever had!”
You know I had to find out more. So today, we hear from the guy standing in for Dylan in that photo.
When he’s not standing behind a fake piano, Conor Lumsden records under the name Music City (his new power-pop album Welcome To Music City just got a rave in Mojo). But, for a few days in 2017, he played a different role: Bob Dylan
This is a delightful entry from Ray and interviews with Conor and John and both well worth the read I thought. At once fascinating and funny at the same time what a life Conor and John H have had . . . subscribe and read on
There are links to Conor’s own music too
