This Movie is Killer

rock'n roll - awsome. proud to have slided outta my moma's virgina the year this was made.

saw, dylan at hop farm few weeks ago, played rolling stone.

i must say for an all-time performer B.Dylan sure does carry his concerts with much self respect and decorum - no ego at all. but van morrison and ray davies? - showboating is all. dylan carried with realism and dignity, the other guys were self-congratulatory.

viva the real *beep* ladies and gents. peace x ;)

I'd say Ray Davies' style of music and his concept of performing have more to do with theater and spectacle, so he might come off as more ego-driven because it's not just about playing the notes with him.

But yeah, Robbie and Martin and the production designer did a good job of not overdoing the show, that chandelier was the right amount of operatic. The Band don't have to add nothing.
