WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO......RIGHT NOW......Mk III

There's a great interview with Plugz bassist Tony Marsico about working with Dylan here:

It's kind of crazy actually how much work and rehearsal went into this performance, and then nothing else came of it. Dylan just moved on to the next thing.

They talk about Daniel Romano at the end of the interview



Oh... and Bob Dylan axed Paul Schaeffer from playing along

That was a terrific read! I can't get over how much time was invested in that by all involved, and then Dylan just abandoned it.
 
At first I couldn't figure out if that was actually the original audio, but it appears someone with skills has done something to clean up both the footage and the audio.
It’s strange that they never released any official live recordings from that era. Here’s the second broadcast from Brussels:

 
This show always seems haunting in retrospect. An artist dying in plain sight. Despite the good intentions and wishes of friends and family. Well, at least some family. Kind like Amy.
