My DREAM Became REAL. Tracking LIVE With Bob Dylan / Tim Pierce

"Last spring I got to record 30 songs with Bob Dylan. The project was spread out over two months. ALL the songs were tracked live off the floor... It was truly a "bucket list" experience 🙂"

Don Was - bass Greg Leisz - mandolin Tim Pierce - acoustic guitar

"T-Bone Burnett played some electric guitar very elegant tremolo reverb a couple of very small fender amps he was very sensitive and just was just the right volume those amps were kind of set back so they weren't too loud and then Jeff Taylor from the Time Jumpers in Nashville multi-instrumentalist really really revered in Nashville, he played accordion..."

Doesn't look like Don Was playing the Double bass - unless he's changed sex Almondcroissant (talk) 23:20, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A "concert film"?

[edit]

Seriously, is this a "concert film"? A pseudo one at best. First, it was shot on a soundstage, not at a concert or series of concerts. Second, none of the performances are "live"; at times the movements of the musicians don't even match what's being played (so sources say). And third, on those and other points the film doesn't come close to matching the definition in WP's article on concert films: "a film that showcases a live performance from the perspective of a concert goer, the subject of which is an extended live performance or concert by either a musician or a stand-up comedian."

I know a couple sources use the term to describe the film, but if you read a broader range of sources, that's not at all "the story". I'm not being critical of the film. Based on what I've read, I'd love to see it. The "story", however, is that those actually did pay $25 for the privilege thought they were going to see something along the lines of a "closed circuit" streamed event, a common occurrence during the pandemic. Instead, they were surprised to see, as noted in the article, more of an "art film". So to say otherwise in the lede sentence and then later ("his first concert performance since December 2019") just ain't so. Allreet (talk) 04:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
