We were lucky, we had a chat to the sound engineer and he kindly allowed us to sit by him at the back of the hall where the view and the sound were just brilliant. Looks like his music isnt resonating as much with people as it used to on streaming services. I accept that the acoustics are probably great in 95% of the hall. Roger McGuinn ride has not been as smooth as we wouldve like recently, Tuesday 14 March 2023 was a great month for him, with 41 of listeners approbation, but fast forward to Monday 27 September 2021, and his numbers have dropped to 34. If you’re watching a band for instance, then one of the members will be lost under the balcony! It cannot be right that the St Georges management still charge the normal ticket price for these areas which are clearly inferior for sight & sound. Don’t even bother here, the views really are restricted and the acoustics are dreadful. For the CCD’s we could only get seats in the balcony, level with the sides of the stage. The ticket prices for the performers we watched were very competitive, if not damn right cheap – being around £30! Gregory Porter is now one of the biggest names in Jazz, so to see him for that sort of dosh was real VFM! The best views and acoustics are central – in front of the stage. Prices are normal (not being overly priced) for venue of this type. The bar areas are in a ‘cellar’ type environment which is quite nice. It’s only a five minute walk from Trenchard St car park - behind the Colston Hall. This is a lovely venue – being an old church it seats about 500 punters. The road always ends wherever you’re at right now.I have been here a couple of times in the last year – to see Gregory Porter & The Carolina Chocolate Drops. This story leads in a million directions. Upon reading this, true fans will immediately think of their own favorite covers that didn’t make the list. Even weird, tossed-off or straight-up bad Dylan songs can make for great covers. And because there are so many kinds of Dylan songs, there’s a vast array of different kinds of Dylan covers: R&B singers love relaxing into the contours of “Lay Lady Lay” country singers like his rootsy stuff indie-rockers key into his sad side heroic rock singers love scaling the peaks of open-ended classics - like “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” or “Like a Rolling Stone” - finding their own way to make new meanings amidst the intersecting, and often contradictory, emotions and ideas that can roil around within one Dylan song. Our picks include everyone from Hendrix, Baez, and the Byrds to Cher, Adele, and the Roots.ĭylan at 80 | Interviews, Reviews, Photos, Archivesĭylan loved the ides of other people doing his songs, and it’s amazing how many songs here were recorded many times by other artists before the man himself ever released his own versions often, they lived whole other lives, evolving and changing over the years, with his idea of the song as only a blueprint. As the greatest songwriter of all time, Dylan has inspired thousands of covers of his songs by artists from every corner of music. The list has songs recorded by his folk peers nearly 60 years ago, and others from as recently as last year. For Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday we’ve compiled our list of the 80 greatest covers of his songs - a collective gift back to him to say thank you for everything he’s given us.
