Broc 3 - Cover Me Impressed
Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

Just another Bob masterpiece. Ho hum. Can’t fathom how he churned out so many extraordinary lyrics.

The Original

Bob Dylan:

Dylan and The Band played it at The Last Waltz and I thought that I had heard it somewhere but apparently not. Can’t find it anywhere and I looked in a lot of places. I wanted it because the songs that are available of Bob and The Band at The Last Waltz are simply extraordinary. I offer up the concert for Bangladesh as a consolation prize of sorts.

Okay this is just plain ridiculous. Bob Dylan, Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton and George Harrison on stage at the same time! I mean c’mon. I don’t know, can anyone name another show that featured as many music icons on stage at the same time?
