Expecting Rain

The pre-release publicity for Triplicate announced it as Bob Dylan's first triple album. Based on no evidence at all, I confidently predict that this was a promo video shoot for Dylan's second triple album, this time of all-original (or, at least, "original") material. Perfectly plausible, right?

Dont forget christmas in the heart was advertised as Bobs first christmas album and weve never had another one!

That's probably what he was recording then.

This doesn't suggest to me that Bob will bring out another triple album. It just states that it's his first triple album.
I think something else is afoot, but what ?

Under the Red Sky was recorded in two different studios over several months, before and after the so-called "Fastbreak Tour".
Time Out Of Mind was recorded over two different set of sessions, separated by a tour. First, the October 1996 sessions in Oxnard, California, then the January 1997 sessions in Miami.

OK, so we're all agreed then. This was a promo shoot for Bob Dylan's sequel to both Triplicate and CITH. "Christmas in the Heart: Triple Bypass" - comprised of 30 all-new Xmas songs . When can we pre-order?

Please. No trolling.

Excellent!

Was wondrin' the same thing, Priest.
Man, I love that new Summer Days infusion!

For all we know they usually take a couple of days *before* every tour leg to warm up and work up new things, if needed. One location for such rehersals that has been mentioned in the past is the Capitol in Port Chester, and with the new tour starting there, that's most likely where they rehearsed. To rehearse after a tour makes very little sense. Also, why would they need to fly in extra people for a tour rehearsal? And wouldn't a rehearsal be the last thing Dylan would want to have filmed? Must be somthing else.

After reading all the insightful opinions and carefully pondering the evidence from the only witness we have, my natural conclusion is that Bob is preparing the 14th volume of the bootleg series, which will be all around the I´m cold sessions. These will include 17 demos recorded at his home studio in 1977 taken from his personal tapes, an alternative full version of those songs with Stephen Stills joining him on acoustic guitar recorded one night over a bottle of Jack Daniels, donated by Stephen from his personal archive, plus the Street legal piano demos.

The new videos recently recorded in Ireland are newly recorded versions of all those songs with different arrangements, that will feature on a complementary DVD for the deluxe version.

Super deluxe version will contain a 3 page poem dedicated to me.

Yes.

This is indeed the only logical explanation.


But an aside on that Stephen Stills rumor - it's often misinterpreted on these boards. For the record, what happened, according to Stills, was that Bob dropped into the hotel after one show and insisted he played Stills some new songs, which would become Blood on the Tracks. Bob played Stills just about the whole of BOTT, but Stills was so messed up that he told Bob that they all sounded the same and were boring. Bob was offended, and Stills now regrets it.

I have never heard of Stills playing together with Bob around this time, but one can dream, Gibsona!!

If I recall, Ratso heard the same complaint from Mike Bloomfield, who was also played several BoTT songs.

Count me in

Yep, that was Bloomfield, not Stills.

Meanwhile, a Rolling Stone article has Tim Drummond saying only this:

and apparently Stills said this...

For what it's worth pun, of course, intended)...NOW, back to the Ardmore rumor!

They heard them, Joan Baez heard them, T-Bone Burnette and S. Soles, they all heard them too.

Now did any of these idiots press the record button, that is the question...

Isis magazine confirmed Dylan's extra days on Dublin and studio recording rumor.

This is all very exciting. Wouldn't it be great if Dylan finally re-recorded some of his songs (a la Masked & anonymous) for a new fall LP?

He mentioned wanting to do this way back in 2001 or so when he talked about re-recordings some of his early songs.

I reckon Isis' source is this thread though...

The details sounded almost exactly like this thread.
But, I wouldn't have thought ISIS would use an ER thread as a source?

You guys think were on some government watch list for clicking on Isis magazine?

Yes!

See I'll Remember You, Cold Irons Bound, Down In the Flood --- all excellent re-recordings from M&A.
