This Rolling Thunder Review show, which took place at the War Memorial Auditorium, Plymouth, MA, October 31, 1975, kicks off with a terrific version of “When I Paint My Masterpiece” that has the feel of Basement Tapes Dylan and the Band.
This is a fantastic set with Dylan in great voice. I’ve included a couple of videos below the audio, just so you can get a little of the vibe of this musical caravan.

“Visions Of Johanna” is an endlessly fascinating song. It’s a song that reveals itself slowly, over the years. And then the light changes and you hear it totally different.
I’ve gathered together two outtakes from when Dylan was calling the song “Freeze Out,” a bunch of live recordings from the 1966 tour of Australia and Europe, and the official version released on “Blonde On Blonde.”
Enjoy.
“Freeze Out 1” (VOJ outtake)
“Freeze Out 2” (VOJ Outake)
Live: “Visions Of Johanna” (April 13, 1966, Sydney)
Live: “Visions Of Johanna” (April 20, 1966, Melbourne)

In 1994 Verruca Salt arrived in a blast of red hot punk energy. “Seether” was a hit, and their album American Thighs, produced by Brad Wood, was terrific.
“Seether”:
And then everything went wrong. They signed with the big New York management company, Q Prime (Metallica, Def Leppard) and recorded a glossy second album that had nothing to do with the indie rock of American Thighs.
“Number One Blind”:
Nina Gordon went solo, and the band wasn’t the same without her. And Verruca Salt faded away, a one-hit wonder.
“Victrola”:
This past March 15 the original lineup of Verruca Salt — Nina Gordon, Louise Post, Jim Shapiro, and Steve Lack — announced they were reforming: “or now let’s just say this: hatchets buried, axes exhumed” they posted on Facebook.
Now they’re recording a new album with Brad Wood (yes!) producing, Brooklyn Vegan reports.
And soon Nina Gordon and Louise Post with perform together for the first time in 15 years. On December 18 as part of Second City’s 2013 24-Hour Improv & Music Benefit in Los Angeles, Verruca Salt will once again rock the house. They hit the stage at 10 AM CST (11 AM EST) and, like the rest of the benefit, will be broadcast live online,Brooklyn Vegan reports.
I interviewed Veruca Salt for my online magazine, Addicted To Noise, back in 1995 following their success with “Seether.”
Last night Jeff Tweedy performed “Acuff-Rose” for the final encore at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. Dig this fan video.The song is off Uncle Tupelo’s fourth and final studio album, Anodyne.
The person who posted the video wrote:
Jeff told the crowd to be quiet, b/c he completely went acoustic for this song only. The random, obnoxiously-annoying drunk girl next to us, didn’t understand his instructions. Great show regardless!
From the upcoming film, Another Day, Another Time, which will document a concert held in September at New York City’s Town Hall celebrating the release of the Cohen Brothers Inside Llewyn Davis.
