I don't know 174 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: if you knew this. 175 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna give you one that you don't know, 176 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: because we watched the documentary and we think we know 177 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 3: it all, but I don't think we do. 178 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: Prince was invited. 179 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 3: Did you know the Prince was invited to this and 180 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: knew that like in the last few months that you know, 181 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: right or right after the release of the doc Yeah, 182 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: that came out. 183 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: Yep, you don't know why Prince declined do you. 184 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: Did it have something to do with Sheila E. 185 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: He did not. 186 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 4: There was competition between him and Michael. 187 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. 188 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: He didn't want to He did not want to record 189 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: with any other singers. He didn't name Michael specifically. You know, 190 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: the assumption is that he did that. He did offer 191 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 3: them a parting gift, though, which was a guitar solo 192 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: for the song, and it was that, yeah, well you 193 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: didn't know it because there's no guitar solo in that 194 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: song We Are the World. 195 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: They declined that there were two things that were great. 196 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: We touched on this, you know, months back at one 197 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 3: point the Whalon Jennings thing, when Stevie Wonder had suggested 198 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: they do a little swyheely and and Whalen said, ain't 199 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: no good old boy ever sung anything in swayheey, and 200 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 3: he probably bounced. And then Stevie coaching Bob Dylan, which 201 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: was called on Teke. So let me ask you this, 202 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 3: speaking of Stevie coaching Bob Dylan, if I can interrupt 203 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: you and I had a bet, not even a bet, 204 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: but an agreement that you would see the complete unknown 205 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: the Timothy Shell. May Bob Dylan have you completed that 206 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 3: a sign? Yeah, I ask him almost every week. 207 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: Well, there were moments I thought it was never going 208 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: to happen, and I thought it could possibly lead to 209 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: the end of my marriage. But eventually, yes, I just 210 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: did recently complete watching it. 211 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: Did you watch it at home? Or did Okay? 212 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: So I was going to say, would you have gotten 213 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 3: what it have gotten to the point where you would 214 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: have said to your wife, I'm going with or. 215 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: Without you to go see the movie? 216 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: Or is this what we're talking about, not that this 217 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: is a therapy session, but come on, bus or listen? 218 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: She did? Did she not want to go? Do you 219 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: not want to go? What's I? 220 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 4: Neither of us? 221 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: Neither one of us wanted to go to the movies, 222 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: And then when it became available inside our home, she 223 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: didn't want to spring for the twenty five dollars, thinking 224 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: that was ridiculous, and I was like, come on. 225 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 2: So then when it came down. 226 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: To part of the plan, the cable plan, we then 227 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: sat down to watch it. That didn't go well either, 228 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: because the first look at it, we got to about 229 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: halfway through and she I rately threw up her. 230 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 2: Hands and said, I don't get this. 231 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm ready for bet and and I was like, well, 232 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm never going to watch this with you again. I 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: want to see this completed. And then two days later 234 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: she said, all right. 235 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 4: Well let's watch it and watch it through. 236 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: Did you pick up from where you left off the 237 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: halfway point or pretty much? Yeah? Got so? 238 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 4: Then so then it was a completed mission. 239 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 2: Completed mission for a complete unknown. All right, well, I'm 240 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: glad you. 241 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 3: I'm sorry for the strife I've caused in your home 242 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: by forcing you to see that. 243 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: But oh listen, my friend, you had nothing to do 244 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: with it. Okay, yeah, so aren't you curious of my take? 245 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? Boy, please bus what? Let me let me? Yes? 246 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: What did you think? 247 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: I thought his performance, meaning playing the music was tremendous. 248 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: I I you know, you have to admire the. 249 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 4: The diligence that he brought to that. 250 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: I thought. 251 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: Edward Burns as Pete Seeger was terrific as well. I 252 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: thought the woman who played Joan Biez was terrific as well. 253 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: I didn't like, and still don't understand why Susie had 254 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: to be known as Silly? 255 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: Is that her name? 256 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: Oh? 257 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the other name? 258 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: Apparently in reading about that, mister Dillon wanted her name 259 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: change to protect her her legacy because she passed away. 260 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 4: Susie did I think in mid two thousands. 261 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: I liked the fact that there was just a lot 262 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: of you know, concert footage if you will, you know, 263 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: that was part of it. That was the strongest part 264 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: the storyline, and specifically hearing him talk. I thought there 265 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: was a fair amount of a different form of mumbling 266 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: other than what I would expect of Bob Dylan's mumbling. 267 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: But now I'm really splitting hairs. The person who played 268 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Woody Guthrie reminded me that a Kramer look alike could 269 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: have played him. But I would say overall it was 270 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: for me, it was a positive experience and ultimately for 271 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: my lovely wife when she made it through. I think 272 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: she saw it ultimately a little differently appreciated the performance aspect, 273 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: and you know, I wouldn't say loved it, but liked it. 274 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: Enjoy Yeah, I enjoying it. 275 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to see the song that I was 276 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: talking about after I first saw the movie, which was 277 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: the song for Woody, which Dylan put on his first album, 278 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: the song he actually played for Willie in front of 279 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 3: for Woody rather in front of in front of Pete 280 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: when they were in the hospital. 281 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: That's right. Pretty moving. 282 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah, so you know, welcome to my world. 283 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: At least one thumbs up from the from the Night 284 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: from the Buzz Night Home. 285 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 4: I think that one and a half, one and a half, okay, 286 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: right right. 287 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: I'm glad we got that over with, Harry. Yeah. It 288 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: was every week before we get on the air, I 289 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: have to ask you are we doing this or we. 290 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: Not do it? Did you do it? Did you watch it? 291 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: Talk about it? So now I surprise you. Nineteen ninety three, 292 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 3: Springsteen released his second live album. The first one was 293 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: Live seventy five to eighty five. It was that you know, 294 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 3: four album set, and then this one nineteen ninety three 295 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 3: without the E Street band. Roy Bitton was the only 296 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: EA Street band remember on that album. You know, I 297 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: saw that tour a bunch of times. I saw it 298 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 3: ten or twelve times. I think I drove to New 299 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: Jersey and Washington. I did a little Eastern seaboard Bruce 300 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: trip for that. I happened to like that music at 301 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: that time in that band. The album actually got to 302 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: number four in the UK. I don't think it did well. 303 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: He didn't do well with that band here. Yeah, And 304 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 3: I wish I saw that tour. I remember when you 305 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: went and I was wishy. 306 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: Washy ish. 307 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: I know that shocking, but I wish I saw. 308 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: Him play, you know, not only that round of shows 309 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: in retrospect, I wish I saw him play the shows 310 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: that were the you know, the Tom Joe shows as well. 311 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you two quick stories there. 312 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: At the end of that tour, that ninety two ninety 313 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,359 Speaker 3: three tour is when we kind of knew the band. 314 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: Was probably going to get back together. We had some suspicions. 315 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: I was at the Madison Square Garden Concerts the last 316 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: night the tour and Clarence came out. Clarence actually came 317 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 3: out the night before at the Meadowlands during Born to 318 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 3: Run and played his solo and then Tenth Avenue and 319 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 3: the place just went. 320 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: It went crazy. 321 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: So, as a matter of fact, I think the way 322 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: it went was they played tenth Avenue and Crystal was 323 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: supposed to play the sacks when Clarence wasn't in the band, 324 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 3: and when that part in tenth Avenue freese out, you know, 325 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 3: the big man joins the band, Clarence comes walking out, 326 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 3: and it was just it was Thunderous in the Meadowlians, 327 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: and then he stayed for Born to Run and maybe 328 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 3: Glory Days and Max came out as well. So a 329 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 3: couple nights in a row we got Clarence and Max 330 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 3: and then you know, after that, the next thing, you know, 331 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 3: it was Blood Brothers and then it took him till 332 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 3: ninety nine to get everyone together to go back out. 333 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: But I enjoyed that band. I enjoyed that music. 334 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: I've you know, I've always found my way to his 335 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: music whatever he's doing.
