Cover Wars: Highway 61 Revisited Edition

I'm happy to report that The Mother Hips are walking away with the trophy from last week's Everybody Knows This is Nowhwere Cover [Album] Wars. They did a great job with the two tracks used for last week as well as covering the entire album in it's entirety. Congrats Mother Hips. Moving on to this week, we've got ourselves another classic album from a different legendary songwriter (with an equally unique singing voice) and that's Bob Dylan's 1965 release Highway 61 Revisited. This album was Dylan's fifth and his first recorded entirely with a full rock band. As always, to ensure that you can listen to the entire track and not just 30-second clips, please register/login with Imeem.

Like a Rolling Stone (Zero): This gentle rendition of perhaps the most popular tune on the album clocks in at 15 minutes. The entire track is full of the tasteful guitar work you would expect from Steve Kimock as well as some beautiful sax solos from Martin Fierro. Check out this great on-stage tape of the whole show on The Archive.

Red On Blonde is an album O'Brien made in 1996 filled with Bob Dylan covers and when I first heard it a few years back, it blew me away. It's a recommended ...

‘Tubes: Trey Gets The Monkey Off His Back

A week ago today the internets were abuzz with all sorts of rumors about what would go down at the Jammy Awards. Would a reunited Phish play an epic Y.E.M.?

At The Barbecue: Concert Time

As we enter into the warmer weather months we figured it was once again time to get the HT gang together to crack open some Porkslap Pale Ales, and fire up the 'Ol BBQ before the summer concert season kicks into high gear and we all head off in different directions.

For our inaugural edition we gabbed about our first favorite song. This time we thought we'd once again take a walk down memory lane with this question: What was your very first concert? Shane Handler: Having been dragged to the likes of Neil Sedaka, Smokey Robinson and Glen Campbell with my parents as a child, it would be anti-climatic to call one of those my "first concert." Therefore, my first real concert without my elders took place at the now defunct Sting Nightclub in New Britain, CT. It was March 1993 and it was Pantera who where just breaking big while in the midst of their Vulgar Display of Power tour. There I was a scrawny high schooler caught in a mosh pit during such Pantera staples as Fucking Hostile, By Demons Be Driven, and Live In A Hole. The venue was an old roller rink, an ideal venue for loud music and a sweaty mosh pit - where shoving your fellow metal brother around served some kind of rebellious purpose. Phil Anselmo was loud and brash while the late Dimebag Darrell supplied the monster heavy riffs. Of course I bought a Pantera t-shirt at that show and still wear it today.

READ ON for more firsts from your favorite HT'ers... Rupert: Considering I had pretty limited musical tastes at the time, I’m glad to admit that my first concert experience was one I would happily repeat to this day. In fact, it was a good transition in my life, which involved quitting sports and starting to smoke tons of brick ...
