    They played it in 1985 when I saw them with CSN.

    well I guess Helm got over his dislike for Joan by then.

    The Band frequently performed the song in concert, and it is included on the group's live albums Rock of Ages (1972) and Before the Flood (1974). The song was included in the concert on Thanksgiving Day 1976 which was recorded in the documentary film about the concert, The Last Waltz, as well as the soundtrack album from the film.

    The last time the song was performed by Helm was in The Last Waltz (1976). Helm refused to play the song afterwards. Although it has long been believed that the reason for Helm's refusal to play the song was a dispute with Robertson over songwriting credits, according to Garth Hudson it was due to Helm's dislike for Joan Baez's version.[3]

    Exactly. I probably have a number or artists that you would cringe. But I would say we both have taste. The people that like the garbage that is called popular these days I may called conditioned.

    Had to slip that in under the Springsteen. From some website talking about "Tweeter And The Monkey Man:"

    "The lyrics include the titles of many Springsteen songs, and the song borrows many of Springsteen's themes and settings. For instance, the setting of the song itself is New Jersey, Springsteen's home state, and places like Rahway Prison and Jersey City are mentioned by name. Springsteen song title references include: "Stolen Car", "Mansion On The Hill", "Thunder Road", "State Trooper", "Factory", "The River", "Lion's Den", and the song made popular by Springsteen but written by Tom Waits, "Jersey Girl". Additionally, "Lion's Den" and "Paradise" are each mentioned and prominently enunciated in the song, each being the title of a Springsteen song released after the Traveling Wilburys album."

    It's also a "highway" song.

    I'm gonna bring it bck full circle a little but how often do you get to listen to the absolute best? And Little Walter was the best blues harp player that ever lived, no question, no doubt. It's true. It's all about the tone, not the licks.

    I could populate a whole Little Walter thread with my own obsessive enthusiasm. This is his best (and every harp player I've ever discussed it with agrees):



    He could have turned 20 different riffs here into their own song. It's the opposite of what so much mediocre blues-influenced rock music sounds like (louder, faster, with a focus on intensity over subtlety, overly emotive and lacking a sense of humor). Unfortunately he died at age 37 after a knife fight. His early death, along with the early deaths of Magic Sam and Freddy King, are, in my opinion, why Blues is dying out. The three best to come after the post-war Chigaco golden era died at 37, 42 and 32. Walter and Sam didn't even make it to the 70's. Sure there were other greats from that era, but those three, in my opinion, were the most transcendent. Those were the guys who had the talent and vision to evolve blues into the 70's and 80's. Instead it stagnated, and gotten taken up by nerds who compete to play the guitar as fast as possible.

    Also:

    Is it the years or the mileage?

    Maybe both.
