Americanafest
Just couldn't resist going to that concert in Saratoga Springs, NY in a few weeks ... Dylan, Levon Helm, etc, etc. Got the tickets today that were bought in a very pleasant transaction from a posting on Albany's Craigslist. Last week I soaked up every detail of the DVD for The Last Waltz, both commentary tracks, featurette, and the film itself. Guess I'm a buff. But it was very interesting - what a great show that was. After a Thanksgiving dinner and dancing to a live orchestra, The Band played with their guests that night from 9pm to well after 2am. Not that this show will be anything of the kind really, but I am really looking forward to seeing Levon Helm's set. His latest album "Dirt Farmer" is really fantastic - a timeless piece of work.
