I really thought this would be the final part of my discussion of “Tangled up in Blue”, but it turned out to be too long for one issue. Besides, in the meantime there was Christmas, and December just seemed to vanish in a haze of meat, work, and glorous, Saturnalian hedonism. so yet again I’ve broken it up: this issue covers the live realisations of the song up until 2006.I still consider this to be the December issue; the final part, with the developments from 2007 to 2018, will come later this month – I promise!
I'll make it simpler: gimmie the original studio album release, and a great late 70's Garcia band rendition, the rest sorta bores me. But I'm glad you enjoy your cool work!
Nice read, thanks! It would be interesting to know if the performance varied on the few ocasions as the setlist opener (last time Chicago 2004)?
...you fail to see the genius in Garcia that zimmerman understood and acknowledged! For shame!

Lovely, great fun with all this music fragment. The same old song, but never the same...😇
