Music and More by Tim Niland
When I was younger, I was deeply involved in the hobby of tape-trading, the exchanging bootleged concerts through the medium of the legendary Maxell XL-90 cassette tape. One of my most prized possessions at the time was 45 minutes of a concert from Paris recorded on November 6, 1967 by the Miles Davis Quintet with Davis in trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Ron Carter on bass, Herbie Hancock on piano and Tony Williams on drums. The music was captivating, ...

If you haven't done any of this, Cash will leave an impression on you if you give him a chance. Unlike Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis or the other slickers who came out of Memphis in the mid-1950s ...

Music and More by Tim Niland
A feast for the fans of the young Dylan, this is a collection of demo recordings that Bob Dylan made to try to pitch his songs to other artists. The music has a nice off the cuff feeling, with Dylan on acoustic guitar and harmonica and occasional piano. With the music stark and unadorned, the lyrical content really comes through, especially the harrowing anti-war anthems “Masters of War," “John Brown" and “A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall" which are as ...

Something Else!
By Mark Saleski The Darkness on the Edge of Town tour has taken on a sort of mythic quality, mostly because there has been scant video evidence. This “bootleg" tape unearthed by Camp Springsteen confirms what fans lucky enough to have seen one of the shows have known all along: this was the E Street Band at a fever pitch. As Max related in the Making Of documentary, they had a take no prisoners attitude. What a relief it must ...
