Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 2655377, member: 181"] Key thing is band vs. artist backed by band. Potential for clash of egos & multiple declining capacities vs. someone having something to say across the span of a lifetime. When I last saw Willie Nelson, his guitar playing had zero virtuoso finesse but was remarkably artful. Neil Young similarly has been a master of milking the same few notes as jazz pianist Mal Waldron was. For more than half a century, Dylan has continually refashioned his songs, along with an ever-evolving 'voice' that pairs with crackerjack bands. All are worthwhile. Of bands recreating their classic sound, I've got no real interest, although The Who at 2/4 strength have the most important 2, and The Stones will know when to stop. [/QUOTE]
