Bob Dylan content in Scorsese's George Harrison documentary, or the lack thereof
Martin Scorsese's documentary, George Harrison: Living In The Material World, premiered in the U.S. over the last two nights on HBO.
Bob Dylan, like Harrison, enjoys his privacy and rarely participates in projects such as this. However, Dylan and Harrison were such good friends that it would be impossible to leave Dylan out of the picture entirely. Scorsese and Olivia Harrison, George's widow, must have made some difficult decisions of what to include in Living In The Material World. Harrison did not need to be overshadowed by Dylan as he had been in the Beatles.
In part one, Dylan is only acknowledged in two passing images - The chart placing of "Like A Rolling Stone" just below a Beatles' single, and Harrison seen reading the paperback version of Dont Look Back. (See video at left).
The start of the second half features a couple of photographs of Dylan and Harrison, presumably taken at Dylan's Woodstock home in late 1968, although his name in not mentioned. Dylan's name is finally uttered during the segment about the unexpected success of the Harrison-produced "Hare Krishna Mantra" by the Radha Krishna Temple. The record was played between acts at Dylan's 1969 Isle of Wight concert.
It was up to producer Phil Spector to discuss Dylan's appearance at 1971's Concert For Bangladesh, explaining how he went to Dylan's apartment to retrieve the reluctant musician. Later, while it is not an obvious reference, Harrison's recycled riff from Dylan's "I Want You" can be heard in "Give Me Love (Peace On Earth)."
The Dylan-Harrison composition, "I'd Have You Anytime," was used as a juxtaposition for a series of family home movies after a sequence about financing the controversial film, Monty Python's Life Of Brian.
It was interesting that an unreleased recording of Harrison covering "Let It Be Me" was used in the film after the report of the 1980 murder of John Lennon. In 1981, Dylan unexpectedly issued his second version of the song as the b-side of "Heart Of Mine" in Europe. I wonder if there is any connection.
Dylan's presence is most felt in the Traveling Wilburys' segment. He is first seen in a photograph behind a microphone, wearing headphones and holding up a sheet of paper, while Tom Petty recalled the origins of the band. The video "Handle With Care" was shown next, with Petty describing how the song was written.
The previously unseen footage of Dylan snapping his fingers, then swaying back and forth while listening for instructions as he was recording his vocals for "Margarita," was probably the highlight for Dylan fans. There's also a clip from the end of the "Dirty World" recording session, when each Wilbury took a turn at the mic. Some of this footage was used with a voice over in the documentary The True History of the Traveling Wilburys, but this is "clean" with a slightly different edit.
Toward the end of the movie, there's a revealing scene when Olivia Harrison interprets George's lyrics of "I'd Have You Anytime" as a way for him to communicate with Dylan about letting Harrison into his life, while a photo of both musicians from 1968 was shown on the screen.
The three-and-a-half hour documentary barely scratched the surface of Harrison's life. The pacing reminded me of A Hard Day's Night, which started off claustrophobic, then featured a liberating escape sequence half way through. In the case of Living In The Material World, Harrison was able to free himself from the Beatles and forge his own path, although the pressures of fame still waited in the shadows.
Unfortunately, many aspects of Harrison's life were not covered, including most of his solo recording career, the success of Cloud Nine and his 1991 tour of Japan with Eric Clapton. There could also have been more about George and Bob, including the joy of hanging out with Dylan and the Band in 1968 and how it contrasted with the tension within the Beatles, stories of Harrison secretly taping Dylan's performances, and other anecdotes.
However, this is Harrison's story. In the first half, Harrison could barely get a word in. In the second, the "Quiet Beatle" finally had his say.

Listen to George Harrison cover two Bob Dylan songs, from new U.K. box set
As previously reported here, the new U.K. only box set, George Harrison: Living In The Material World, includes a bonus CD of ten unreleased tracks, including versions of Bob Dylan's "Mama, You Been On My Mind" and the Dylan/Harrison collaboration, "I'd Have You Any Time."
"Mama, You Been On My Mind" (listed as "Mama You've Been On My Mind") is a demo version with simple overdubs. Harrison must have been a big fan of this composition, as he played a beautiful acoustic version during the Beatles' January, 1969, Get Back/Let It Be sessions, and jammed on the song with Dylan on May 1, 1970, at an informal session in New York.
"I'd Have You Any Time" is an early take from the All Thing Must Pass sessions. Harrison once said that he used the song to open his first real solo album because he could hide behind Eric Clapton's guitar and (some of) Dylan's lyrics.

Послушал альбомчик новой "супер" группы Мика Джагера в всязи с которой всуе часто упоминали наш любимый коллектив.Не понял.Не понял как это вообще можно сравнивать.Всё думал может дождусь,что нибудь от Дейва Стюарта,нет,не дождался,а мастеринг такой ,что мозги выносит навылет.Даже в оформлении обложки альбома,есть мотивы из антологии Тома.

А я недавно тоже послушал, Володь. Двоякое ощущение. Часть песен вроде как ничего, а часть - откровенная хрень. По мне, так лучше б дитя Марли вместе с девицей не участвовали. Касательно обложки - действительно ощущение, что у Тома и тут один дизайнер работал. Или кто-то с кого-то...

Один из наших журналюг тоже решил почтить память Джоржа...ну лучше бы не делал этого.В конце статейки он конечно как то акценты расставляет,но вот в середине;
3. End Of The Line
Подношение супергруппы Travelling Wilburys их первому покойнику: Рой Орбисон (Roy Orbison) успел записать гитару и вокал для этой песни, но в клипе сняться не успел. Джордж тогда придумал основную идею клипа: давайте сделаем так, как будто Рой просто куда-то уехал, а нам надо снимать клип. Позднее тот же самый прием он предложит Полу и Ринго — над архивными демо Леннона они будут работать по тому же принципу: представили, что Леннон укатил отдыхать в Испанию, а корешам оставил наспех слабанные демо — вот, я тут наваял, а вы делайте, что считаете нужным, я вам доверяю. Безотказный приемчик, Джордж, просто безотказный.
