axlslash Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Music icon Bob Dylan spent four days at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie last week, privately rehearsing and writing music for an album he is set to record this week in Manhattan.Bardavon Executive Director Chris Silva said Dylan and his band played on the stage Tuesday through Friday. Dylan worked without a break for 4-5 hours each day."I think that's a big deal for the area," said Wasyl Bozydaj, owner of Black Creek Guitars in New Paltz.Silva said Dylan was enthusiastic about returning for a concert. The ex-Woodstock resident played twice in Dutchess County in 2004.Dylan and five musicians played new music last week."It was experimental, all kinds of different licks," said Silva, who watched the sessions. "They would get into one thing and they would go over it and over it, then they would change gears."Dylan and the band members didn't ask for anything beyond technical support and some take-out menus. But Silva decided to put out the fruits, vegetables and yogurt Dylan usually requires backstage when he performs.Silva has been trying for 12 years to get him to play at the Bardavon. But more than setting the stage for a concert, last week's sessions could intertwine the Bardavon with Dylan's legacy."For him to be in our space, creating work that then will be recorded ... whenever I play that CD, which will be out in the next few months, I'll know some aspect of that was created in the Bardavon," Silva said.Source: http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pb...D=2006602050345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnUlmer Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 At least it will give him time to get away from the camera. He's really been whoring himself out in the movies over the past decade, hasn't he?Masked & Anonymous comes to mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Bob (which many, myself included, still religiously follow) is pretty consistent: a heavy-driving rock and blues fusion with the distinctive voice of The Prophet of the Sixities growling over it.

He's really been whoring himself out in the movies over the past decade, hasn't he?Masked & Anonymous comes to mind...1) Masked & Anonymous was a fantastic movie, plus it put Dylan performing in the movie. What was wrong with it?2) What other movies has he 'whored' himself to?3) He's been touring basically nonstop since 2000, so I don't know what cameras, other than those of his fans, he's been in front of lately.

Guest JohnUlmer Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 1) Masked & Anonymous was a fantastic movie...Most would disagree.http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/masked_and_anonymous/Mickey Rourke is in it, though, so it has to be somewhat watchable.2) What other movies has he 'whored' himself to?Not necessarily just movies.
