Spent all these years not even knowing the bootleg WASN'T Albert Hall. This one's definitely a cleaner, clearer recording.

The Dylan live boxed set is currently outta my league but it is on my list of expensive things to save up for, that and bikes for the boys. Gonna listen to this

I'm not even sure what we are watching here.

I swear I was watching a motivational video about how you should manage your time wisely. From there I came to the Greatest Fight Scenes in Movie History to this. Whatever it is. A French band, obviously. Rather catchy imagery, don't you think?

Abord the Yorikke!

Johannes, the text is by a famous poet, Léo Ferré. Unfortunately there is no mention of Ferré in the vidéo.
Ferré was quite political. Worth looking into. There are a few videos of Ferré on YT.
Thank You Satan
Léo Ferré
Pour la flamme que tu allumes
Au creux d'un lit pauvr' ou rupin
Pour le plaisir qui s'y consume
Dans la toile ou dans le satin
Pour les enfants que tu ranimes
Au fond des dortoirs chérubins
Pour leurs pétales anonymes
Comme la rose du matin
Thank you Satan
Pour le voleur que tu recouvres
De ton chandail tendre et rouquin
Pour les portes que tu lui ouvres
Sur la tanière des rupins
Pour le condamné que tu veilles
A l'Abbaye du monte en l'air
Pour le rhum que tu lui conseilles
Et le mégot que tu lui sers
Thank you Satan
Pour les étoiles que tu sèmes
Dans le remords des assassins
Et pour ce coeur qui bat quand même
Dans la poitrine des putains
Pour les idées que tu maquilles
Dans la tête des citoyens
Pour la prise de la Bastille
Même si ça ne sert à rien
Thank you…

This song has been swimming around the old brain pan all day driving me nutz!


And then this stumbled in and saved the day

Officials say drugs may have played a part
This is actually a song that has held up over time.

But shit, what a weird video. And the reason the song has held up is the bass line, but that's totally in the background here.

Just on the edge of getting old...

 
^ That's a prototype of what they played at Kezar Stadium on 3/23/75, which was released on the bonus disc for the Band Beyond Description boxed set.


The whole Stronger Than Dirt thang starts to come into focus at about 8:00.

Marc Benno is the other guitarist in that pic that played on the L.A. Woman lp w/ the Doors. Put out some good music on his own. Here's a great record I have that he did with the late great Leon Russell.
