Bob Dylan's punk/garage versions with the Plugz - Letterman 1984 [upgraded] Don’t Start Me Talking, Jokerman, License to Kill + Rehearsal tapes

"Don’t Start Me Talking"

                          sometimes ‘mercurial’ doesn’t even quite cut it . . . . . . . . . . !?

How did this even HAPPEN?

DREAM TWISTER!



Youtube poster Peter Stoner Brown Archive notes:
With Dylan, all dressed in black, were three unknown 20-somethings and they were killing it. Guitarist J.J. Holiday, drummer Charlie Quintana, and bassist Tony Marsico — the latter two of whom were members of the L.A. punk band the Plugz — backed Dylan on three songs that night, a fierce “Jokerman” and a perfectly raucous “License to Kill,” both from Dylan’s then-new semi-return-to-form album Infidels, and a swaggering cover of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Don’t Start Me Talking.” For 12 minutes or so, the musicians proved that Bob Dylan could be jolted out of the perfunctory performances he’d been accustomed to giving then and suggested a future beyond the living relic circuit.
License to Kill
