11 Oct 22 - 04:05 AM (#4154685) Subject: RE: Ramblin' Jack Elliott From: GUEST,Hootenanny Yes, That is Jesse Fuller the guy who wrote the song that Jack is singing "San Francisco Bay". Jesse was a one man band playing Guitar, harmonica, high hat cymbal and a self constructed foot operated bass which he called a Footdella. We have photographs of him playing at the 100 Club in London in the 60's. My workmate and very good friend George Webb escorted him around when he came over on tour and had a great fund of Jese Fuller stories. |

18 Oct 22 - 09:25 AM (#4155495) Subject: RE: Ramblin' Jack Elliott From: The Sandman well it is about jack elliott, he was singing woodys songs and perfoming batter than Dylan; certainly a more proficient guitaristand imo a better singer but he has not written any good songs Dylan has written some good songs and a couple of bad ones but so do nearly all songwriters Jack is 91 years old and still performing |

18 Oct 22 - 09:25 AM (#4155496) Subject: RE: Ramblin' Jack Elliott From: gillymor While Dylan was very much influenced by Woody early on he didn't record a lot of his tunes, didn't need to, he wrote his own, some of the best anyone's ever written. Rambling Jack was more of an interpereter of trad songs and other writer's works and is damn good at it. (Btw, Dylan and Jack weren't exactly contemporaries, Dylan came on the scene about a decade after Jack). |

My girlfriend at the time and I had a few drinks with him after his last set at the Childe Harold in D.C. and he regaled us with tales of the shenanigans he got up to with the Grateful Dead and their crew on the Europe '72 tour from the year before. Being a couple of Deadheads it left us in a state of euphoria. He was a charming fellow. |

Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything about the performance, because I couldn't hear it, and everytime I tried to get close so I could, I got yelled at by the staff. Zoo concerts here used to be alot of fun, but these days they ruin the experience. |
