Ahh breezy, I just looked, it was only an hour... the one I saw was the full 2 hr thing on BBC4, wish I'd taped this one now! Yeah, on the full one, the young American kid did a not-bad version of "To Ramona" but then bored me with 2 of his own songs. Actually, I liked Martin Carthy, even though his voice wasn't at its best, I still liked the performance of "Hattie Carroll" and I even liked Scarborough Fair, had no objection to that seeing as Dylan borrowed the lyrics for Girl from the north country but it was the other people doing their own songs that got up my nose! it made it not so much a Dylan tribute concert, more a showcase, with people sometimes doing Dylan songs. PAH!! but I completely agree with KT Tunstall - she was brilliant, and also ONLY DID DYLAN SONGS... which is what everyone should have done for gods sake!!! KT Tunstall is indeed a very talented artist.
