dylan, duncan and brady
there was a great era in the late 1990s and early 2000s (in the pre-9/11 riverboat saloon daze) that bob dylan would open his shows with a classic old-timey song with a three-part harmony in the chorus. these were transporting occasions. the songs themselves were rare, dylan singing them was even rarer, and the three-part workgang vocals really took the biscuit, because dylan is not much known for his interest in sharing the mic. i saw a lot of dylan shows around that time, and especially loved hearing "this world it can't stand long" and "duncan and brady," the latter of which i post below for your change of pace.
thanks to bro mch for the tip.
I keep hoping the God Knows or the Country Pie from Lowell 2000 will surface on the You Tubes. God Knows for ushering in the eschaton, Country Pie for that look of surprise Bob made when he didn't flub the last two notes. Like the dog that caught the car, or the boy who actually got the girl . . .
Oh, for one more show with Campbell, Sexton, and Kemper!
