Comment:
The t/r/i/b/u/t/e series continues; this one is dedicated to that Gutbucket sibling. This is my thank you! The benefit concert (S.N.A.C.K. stands for Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks) was organized by Bill Graham in 1975 and was broadcast over the radio, and therefore there are many nice tape copies in circulation. This one time only mixture of Dylan/Band/Young was the featured act in a full day's concert that featured many local San Francisco bands, such as Santana and Jefferson Airplane. The appearance of Neil Young and company was merely rumored and Dylan's performance was a complete surprise. Completely unrehearsed, some of this music is great, but mostly it's just haphazard and rough.The highlight of the set comes next, when the band plays together on Young's classic ballad "Helpless." On this number the loose circumstances actually work in the song's favor and it sounds quite good with these musicians. As "Helpless" is coming to a close, the group continues playing, and the song flows very naturally into Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" - an inspired pairing. It's a unique version lyrically as well, as Dylan improvises lyrics and changes the chorus to "Knockin On The Dragon's Door," a change that's significance is open to speculation.Acknowledgements and most respect to: sammyg123,musicgnome,Jenergy,tornadoZ,hemizen,moe,p the swede,blasikin,PapaMaceo1,Sister ZoT Jarvis,Curtis_Burns,Mixxer,Joey De Vivre,French Connection,Anthony Lombardi,lanhamyodel,Mark Petruccelli,Skipper Bartlett,doowad, and the AoTM collective!
Feedback:
great tribute to not only one of my favorite mixers but one of the nicest guys you can encounter on this site - i love pretty much every song as much as the last one here, really terrific stuff
Great songs here, esp. VU, Hendrix, and New Order.
there's no wad like Doowad... wait, that came out wrong. Dusty next to Willie... Johnny next to New Order. interesting pairings, but I bet it all works famously. cool tribute, Karen.
Great mix by one great mixer, and a great tribute to another!
Great tribute. I can picture a lot of these songs on a doowad mix.
this is more doowad than doowad. i am kinda working on a doowad tribute myself. SSHHH!
Great job on this, it will knock his socks off when he sees this!d/o/o/w/a/d/e/t/t/e
Just beautiful, Karen! My daughter says to say this is amazing! Needless to say, I love everything and this will get frequent airtime in the doowad household.You could have just left the first song looping in and out, so all the rest is just icing on the cake. I am forever in your debt (at least till I do tribute back at you).gracias, obrigado, thanksdoowad
Posdata: As soon as track 5 came on, and as I have done repeatedly to doowadette since we tried to hear him singing over the screams of the drunk broads at Sauget, I hollered out íííWILLIE!!!
A very nice thing for you to do Karen and of course a very nice mix, as always.
Wonderful! Love track six. A great mix in honor of my Brother in arms...er, Guts...er, nevermind.
Slurp I like this Karen.

Anything like this from Back in the Day is welcome, and this looks especially sweet.
Great Velvets, Dusty, Johnny, NO... YES!
Superb tribute. Love everything on this.
Karen rolls out another bouncing ball of musical enlightenment. Short and wonderfully articulate -- hey it's an audio description of me -- well the short part anyway...Spin on. Karen, spin on.
Sweet.
Smooth, delightful, classy, as I imagine you are DJ Karen. Knew Doowad would love it.
