On the Music Player this week Bob Dylan, “Going Going Gone…” Planet Waves sessions
Dylan in 1973
I recently found this isolated vocal track of “Going, Going, Gone” from Planet Waves. It doesn’t seem to be the released take, but it’s fascinating to hear Bob’s unadorned singing [apart from some interesting chords and riffs on his acoustic guitar]. It’s impassioned and dramatic, and the timing is fantastic — listen to the delays on the title phrase.
Village Recorders in West Hollywood, where Planet Waves was recorded
Martin – that was a great read, really made my day. Many thanks.

Fascinating reads from both of your esteemed chums.Thanks.
Thank you Martin — fascinating reminiscence. I forwarded it to Ed Sanders.
This was posted on the Holy Modal Rounders/Michael Hurley e-list by Paul Kerr. (Thanks Paul!)
Hi Michael! Long time… always look forward to reading your pieces in Mojo. Hope all is well, and thanks for forwarding Annie’s piece…
Thanks Martin! I love your blog and have bookmarked it for frequent visits. Sanders dug the excerpt — apparently Ann had sent him a copy of her book.
I’ve decided to play music out again, once the plague lifts. No delusions of stardom at my age — I just wanna play. You playing at all?
Best twitches, Michael
