@tomic601: Me too! Rock Of Ages is I believe my favorite live Rock ’n’ Roll album, along with their collaboration with Dylan on Before The Flood (I have a Capitol original, waiting for the MoFi repress). Until then, do you know about the expanded 4 CD/1 DVD issue of ROA, entitled Live At The Academy Of Music 1971? The Band played two nights, the expanded LATAOM containing both entire shows. Mixed by Bob Clearmountain, as have been all the 50th anniversary Band boxsets.

Don’t know Jim, I haven’t heard the MoFi. In fact, I don’t think I knew about it! My attitude used to be that MoFi issues of many of their album choices were a waste of time and money. If a recording isn’t really, really good to begin with, why bother? That’s why I also never got their version of The Basement Tapes. Another reason is that Robertson re-recorded some of his guitar parts for that album’s original LP release in the mid-70’s. The Dylan Bootleg Series Volume 11 is the version of The Basement Tapes to have---Eric. |
@big_greg - Please tell Kevin @uberwaltz that Tom said "Hi!" and "Merry Christmas!" if he's not watching the thread. Also tell him that we miss him around here. |
