And I was driving by the Santa Barbara Mission on my way to the carwash as Mission in the Rain played. Whatever metaphor one may assign to the word "Mission", the coincidence made me smile, smile, smile. And on this day of days.
Daverock, I recently saw Cat Power perform the 5/7/66 show in a small theater. Highly recommended to all who have the chance.

what a run around from amazon jeff's india help this morning.
Order the Joni, both, from Amazon because of free shipping.
Some odd things come up about being called for the delivery and special instructions of getting ready for it's delivery, like padding on the floor, clearing the passage ways.
I dig a little deeper and they have both of these items (records and cd's) weighing 1100 lbs each!
So I used chat to inform them of the error on page and to verify stuff would be coming regular mail and no one was going to show up with an 18 wheeler, handing me a box of cd's.
Over an hour and 10-12 transfers to "people who handle that", not one seem to understand the simple fact that the records and cds did NOT weigh a TON! And all I wanted was assurances the stuff was coming as it should.
No warm fuzzy feeling, may have to cancel and reorder from Joni. (then I get the "free" print,,,,,while supplies last)

Also worth checking out is the 1966 Live Recordings by Bob Dylan. 36 cds for your coin. It might be worth checking the set lists before buying first though - they don't vary much.
Alternatively, you could go for the Bootleg Series Volume 4, titled "The Royal Albert Hall" concert named after a real bootleg, but actually featuring the show in Manchester 5/17/66 - the famous "Judas!" show. But if you get the box, you do get the great real Albert Hall shows from later in the month -including much slurry talk from Bob onstage. Great shows.

As part of my side trip into Bob Dylan's big three plus a compilation, I am listening to Postcards again the first time in a while.
Such great songs.
Tragically, the title (and some of the lyrics) refers to an episode of evil in our nation's history. Ugh.
Bob Dylan: a titan in the world of music and culture.
Luckily I got to attend three of his performances
1986 (not with GD)
1987 with GD
2000 at the Gorge when he opened for Phil Lesh and FriendsThat show in 2000 was really good

...an enormously (is that a word?) long-time since I've pulled this one out to actively listen,
and what is this the X-factor you speak about Dave...?

[internet archive identifier 149531 (addeddate 2020-04-15)]WOW!!!
hey now, maybe just maybe, when you release a BOXSET,
maybe you could consider releasing TWO separate shows instead
of ALWAYS just ONE show.
After all, it is an 8 show box release...I'll be passing on the BOXSET, but will pick-up this X-factor...
...and keep up the good work!Peace for All!
