Thanks for the tip Peter re the photo - will have to get my magnifying
glass out as I only have CD! Dinn't you tell me recently you were at
the original concert and have the LP or was that Before The Flood or
was it both! Lucky you.
Also while there are some souls reading this, can I bump my recent
post re concert footage - Peter, you would know wouldn't you (plead,
plead). I just can't seem to get an answer on this from anyone on my
discussion groups. It just seems weird that there isn't footage
available circulating of these great Band/Dylan moments....
Can anyone tell me why there is (at least to me) a lack of concert
footage from Rock of Ages, Tour 74 and outtakes (such as Georgia and
King Harvest)? Maybe I just don't know where to look...Am a member
of
a Dylan trading site, but no answers from that quarter but does
anyone
here know......
Cheers Annie
