I've finally listened to the first tlog cd. Its huge isn't it? There's
just so much music here i'm not surprised a lot of people (me included) are
taking a long time getting into it. Its much bigger than The White Album or
Blonde on Blonde or DJRD or any of the other double albums which - if you're
like me - we took a long time "getting" when they first came out. And I
think another problem is when listening to it we may have to do some
unlearning and relearning cos we all know and love all the songs but done
very differently, so can't help having preconceptions and expectations. But
- hey - life's for learning and something's lost but something's gained by
living every day. But what I really came on to say was that I enjoyed cd1
on first listen - I'm going to listen again now - but was blown away by
GMBABM - this to me is how the song should be done - I enjoyed it a million
times more than the Mingus version, and also more than the Shadows and Light
performance.
By the way, I've listened to Hejira again, and thanks for the correction -
it was before the "hope and hopelessness" bit, where she says each so deep
and so superficial between the forceps and the stone oh-oh-oh.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
