Bob Dylan performing at the Oakland Coliseum, December 4, 1988.
SOme months ago I posted a link to where individual clips of these songs could be seen, but today I’ve got a clip of the whole set.
He was performing at a benefit for the Bridge School. G. E. Smith accompanies Dylan on acoustic guitar.
There’s an incredible version of “Forever Young.”
And it’s great to hear Dylan sing “San Francisco Bay Blues” just across the bay from San Francisco.
The entire set is great.

Bring Your Own Doc host Ondi Timoner interviews D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus about “Don’t Look Back,” “Monterey Pop,” “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” and more.
Footage shot by Dylan during the making of “Don’t Look Back” will eventually be released, according to D. A. Pennebaker.
D.A. Pennebaker: We gave him [Dylan] the camera once. He went around shooting, We have a whole scene of him shooting the camera.
Chris Hegedus: It’s kind of interesting what Dylan shoots. We haven’t put it out yet. It will come out on one of the next releases, DVDs. It’s a party and everyone is sitting around smoking and drinking and talking and he walks around and tries to film everyone and films himself in the mirror and does odd things.
Pennebaker: When we did the second bit [the additional documentary made with footage shot of Dylan’s ’65 tour of the UK] with stuff off the floor, only thing I decided, we never had a complete song in “Don’t Look Back.” When we did the second one we put whole songs in, but what we got was a nicer Dylan, which surprised everyone. Dylan interested em. We met [for the first time] in a bar downtown. It was where all the painters went. The Cedar Tavern. He and Bobby Neuwirth were waiting. The way he talked was intereting to me. He didn’t use words the way you usualy learn them. He’d mix words around and I thought, this guy is a poet and he’s probably trying to figure out what a poet is. He was figuring out how to create himself in some way that he alone was interested in. I was interested to see that happen. I wanted to see what he did in normal conversations and what his songs were like compared to those.

Recently I was interviewed at length by Triple R radio’s Brian Wise, who DJ’s a three-hour show every week called “Off the Record.”
Last Saturday the first of four or five segments from the interview aired on “Off the Record.” That segment focused on Bob Dylan and included some discussion of why Dylan is so important to the narrator of my novel, True Love Scars.
As part of his show, Wise also interviewed David Kinney, author of The Dylanologists, and music critic Bill Wyman talking about Dylan.
I was also recorded reading from my True Love Scars, and two sections about Dylan are part of the first segment.
You’ll find a transcript of the interview here at the Australian Addicted To Noise site, but if you listen you’ll hear me read two excerpts from the novel that are about how Bob Dylan has impacted the narrator’s life.
The Kinney and Wyman interviews follow the one with me.
Listen to “Off the Record” here.

Great new music from DJ Shadow, plus a remixed oldie.
According to Stereogum, DJ Shadow calls “Ghost Town,” “an ambitious ride through many of the micro-genres within the Future Bass umbrella that have inspired me recently,” and he calls “Mob” “an intentionally stripped-down, Cali-certified head-nodder.”
And there’s a remix of the 2002 single “Six Days” by Machinedrum.
