Last night the usual ceremony of the Grammys - one of the awards that I know less interesting if only for the incredible proliferation of categories that makes it any less significant victory - an event has occurred who has had starring Bob Dylan.
As we know - I talked about in cinema Bob Dylan - Dylan has repeatedly took to the stage of the Grammys, from the late 70s to receive awards or other, realizing some memorable moments: the acceptance speech of the Lifetime Achievement Award (now twenty years ago!) and Love Sick with the intrusion of so-called Soy Bomb are just a few.
Again, Dylan did not want to deny and, in an acoustic curtain between the glitter of the Grammys, he has appeared with a large backing band that included Mumford and Sons, the Avett Brothers and members of the group that follows him on tour for many years (including the ubiquitous Tony Garnier).
The song choice is not among the most unknown or not performed in public - Maggie's Farm - but, as someone noted, the choice is more significant than you might superficially think Dylan has it, a little ' perversely, as is usual, chosen for a performance one of the songs sound just as it had "become electrical" back in the 1965 Newport Festival, in a kind of throwback, an obvious step revisited.
The exhibition, with a little bit 'of good will can be found here and there, and should still be sent in a couple of days on TV (on site Maggie's Farm talking about a broadcast on February 16 to 22: 00 on ITV2, for those who can not make this mistake if that issuer is English). Those who appreciate Bob Dylan should not lose it: in fact, beyond the interest for this return to Maggie's farm, the interpretation itself was compelling and worthy of note. The overwhelming rhythm accompaniment of chaotic crowds of musicians with a wide variety of acoustic instruments have served to outline a Dylan in great shape and with the air of a lot of fun. The voice is broken and torn apart in recent years, but its expression is not reduced. The meaning of the song remains intact - with its rebellion against the master's power - and the pace and positivity that oozes this interpretation she become so much a cry of anger like the old days, a libertarian and anarchist anthem.
