Bob
Dylan & The Band
Isle Of
Wight 1969 [no label, 1CD]
Live
at Woodside Bay, Near Ryde, Isle Of Wight, England, August 31, 1969. An
audience reel-to-reel recording. Very good quality.
On the cusp of the
'70s, rock music was still a bubbly mixture of styles and ideas. You could
record anything and there would be an audience and more importantly a
record label willing to put it out.
Bob Dylan and The
Band fired off Music From Big Pink and signalled a return to the "invisible
republic" of the past when everything was simpler. This album more than
any reportedly energised and inspired English musicians like Eric Clapton
and George Harrison to look Westward and backwards.
Instead of rocking
out like they did in 1966, Dylan and The Band slowed things into a country
square dance. No exhortations to "play ****in' loud" instead, steel guitars,
accordians and a crooning, bleating Dylan took to the stage and, by all
accounts, only a selected enlightened few were mesmerised. Mostly, the
show was considered under-rehearsed.
Incredibly, this
performance was the first time Dylan stepped on stage after the motorcycle
accident. Some were expecting the Second Coming as his appearance boosted
attendence. On hand for this show was rock's royalty, The Beatles, two
Stones, The Who, Free, Eric Clapton and, in the audience, a young Elton
John.
This was the year
the Beatles were to release Abbey Road, all "special effects" and stylish,
the year Led Zeppelin II was launched and proto-heavy metal birthed. Instead,
100,000 fans at the Isle of Wight were treated to the countrified and
loosely-played Like A Rolling Stone.
So how did it feel?
Now for the first
time you can hear the almost-complete show from an astonishingly clear
audience recording. The origin of this audience reel to reel tape was
keithdylan who bought the master copy from a dealer/fan and decided to
share it, warts and all on the net at the Hunger City site. Later it was
mastered and artwork done by JTT, around October 2007. This cleaned up
version deleted gaps, added fades and other little touches and was shared
by eddiethecat. This is the cleaned up version. A big thanks for their
generosity.
The reference to
Lord Tennyson is the remark Dylan made at the press conference that he
wanted to play the Festival for an opportunity to visit the birthplace
of the famous poet. After the show, Dylan and the celebrities retired
to a party where The Beatles played an acetate of their to-be-released
Abbey Road. No one recorded Bob Dylan's reaction.
