Bob Dylan performs “Truckin´” first time live @ Tokyo Garden Theater April 12, 2023 |
“And then it happened... Something didn't seem right. At first
we thought it was a new version of "Jimmy Reed" but then we heard the word
"truckin'"... Sporadic roars from around the audience (jumping from Dead
heads), we wanted to rush the stage- the reaction would have been bigger
but it is so difficult to express oneself in this venue.
But this was special, so special, Really special. Bob was loving
it, the band were loving it. He sang like a 20 year old do dah man, giving
it everything, every word was clear, next level stuff. As the song
finished Tony punched the air in delight - smiles all round.
And then it was over - from Truckin' to Mother of Muses - like nothing had
happened. This is the rough and rowdy tour and don't forget it - a great show.
What a long strange happy night it's been!”

MOLLY TUTTLE & GOLDEN HIGHWAY
CLARE MALONEY
by Uncle John
Sunday, March 19 is the 100th show Phil Lesh has played at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York.
Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure is playing a Phil Lesh & Friends pre-show next door at Garcia´s, and all concert ticket holders get free admission to this show.
I spoke with Clare after a show with The Airplane Family at The Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California . Her talent is astounding as a musician playing guitar in a band, and a premier vocalist with deep operatic training, and her golden voice is present through songs that move the spirit.
A touch of Hot Tuna, “Hesitation Blues” helps me understand what is going on. Her vocals on “Blows Against The Empire” are deep and mesmerizing. “Paul Kantner and David Crosby are here tonight very strong in the spirit.” I tell her, and she agrees with me, smiling. I share that I met Paul Kantner at an acupuncture clinic with Dr. Ron in San Francisco.
Her rendition of “Sunrise” is pitch perfect.
Clare Maloney was an international opera star before she became a rocker.
During the pandemic, Clare wrote over a hundred songs and it reminds me of the time Robert Hunter went on the road with The Grateful Dead and wrote a song with a hundred verses, “Truckin´”. The Grateful Dead recorded the first five verses.
I tell Clare that Jerry Garcia is here tonight. “Yes, he is!” she says.
Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure have a new album out called “DAYBREAKER”. Check out the songs, especially “Legend Lives On” and “Dream Within A Dream” and “Song To The Moon”.
I tell her that she sounds just like Grace Slick. She personifies, amplifies and emanates her vocally. “White Rabbit” is maravilloso.
"Inspector Rabbit" by artist Grace Slick
Clare reminds me of Grace the musician, yet she has her own style. This girl knows how to rock on!

I'm sitting at a table directly across from Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Starship & Jefferson Airplane. He's reading the Chronicle and I'm playing one of the puzzle mazes. Paul's profile is facing me and he looks just like I do with pins sticking out of our ears. We are at Dr. Ron´s acupuncture clinic and I engage Paul´s attention and bring up my musical science fiction play, "RAINDANCE". In the play, extraterrestrial time travelers, seven sirens, intercept the Voyager 1 and capture the Golden Record and listen to it, including Chuck Berry's song Johnny B. Goode, and when they arrive on Earth they become seven gypsy dancing women who sing to Bobby "Sugarfree" Sugaree, and in one voice tell him "Take us to your leader Johnny B. Goode". Paul Kantner and I talk about Jerry Garcia's love for science fiction, Blows Against The Empire, and Sirens Of Titan.

Review by Uncle John
Tonight we are treated to a fusion of sounds: jazz, reggae, Roots&Blues, funk, soul, pure country, rock, and folk, creating a healing spirit of music with a special band of musicians, Lebo, Mookie Siegel, Elliot Peck, Steve Adams, and Ezra Lipp, Dave Ellis, DJ Logic, Jamie Clark, Grant Harrington and Paul Beaubrun, who unite us with a stirring "No Woman, No Cry". The Haitian singer reminds us of the of the distress and desolation in his homeland this past year and we hold hands in unity of the spirit of hope and healing. Tonight´s show is attended by an audience who pass the strongest Covid requirements to enter this performance. Everyone is vaccinated and had to produce a negative Covid test within 24 hours of the show´s start.
In the midst of the show´s first set, the power goes out and battery-powered lights come on in the audience. Though the stage is dark, the musicians decide to carry on acoustically and beg the audience for quiet so they can be heard. We are reminded of Haiti, and our hope in the spirit presses for the show to go on. We are informed the power outage is city-wide and the show would continue as long as the battery lights lasted. Jamie Clark did a good job here to hold the audience attentive and respectfully quiet. There is a short auction in the dark. Then, a solo performance by Lukas Nelson and his bandmate Tato Melgar, sharing some of their Promise Of The Real songs. Lukas is amazing! His confidence and ability to play an acoustic instrument and carry a song unplugged in a dark auditorium with an audience focused on their songs is a difficult task to carry out, but his performance is appreciated by all. They did about four songs and suddenly, the darkness gives way and power returns to the stage. Lukas finds the electric guitar and breaks into a spontaneous "I Saw The Light" a Hank Williams gem, "Christmas song" Lukas, a Christmas child, shares.
Bob Weir joins Lukas Nelson and Tato Melgar onstage and they play Willie Nelson´s "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain". They cover Bo Diddley, and the Grateful Dead, with Bob Weir singing "Loose Lucy" (From The Mars Hotel). The musicians all return to the stage. Our hands clap, voices hum and sing, the sweet sound of music heals our minds, hearts, and spirit. They cover The Temptations "Shakey Ground", the Band´s song, "The Weight" and close the show with Bob Dylan´s "I Shall Be Released".

Emma Swift says, “Like many of the great Bob Dylan songs,
‘I Contain Multitudes’ is a magnet, a fly’s eye view of the cultural wilderness in which we wander. It’s magnificent and heartbreaking, a love letter to words & art & music, to all that has been lost and all that might be redeemed. To me this song has become an obsession, a mantra, a prayer. I can’t hope to eclipse it, all I hope to do is allow more people to hear it, to feel comforted by it, to love it the way I do.”

SUNDANCE
Lyrics by Uncle John & Music by Uncle John & Gary Sangervasi
Performed at The Sweetwater Music Saloon in Mill Valley, California with Gary Sangervasi
Born in the American hills
Raised in a desert cave
It wasn't until he was twenty-one
He met Jesus and was saved
He can move like a mountain lion
Smell like a bear for snakes
Sundance is so bold and strange
As he is strong and brave
He has half a diamond for an eye
And an eagle to guide his way
And he lived ten years inside the city
And he learned the city´s ways
He had a love for the game
A taste for whiskey
A weakness for pretty women
But he couldn't understand the cruelty
To lock up so many people inside prisons
He is a man who loves his freedom
He picked up a simple stone
And at night his would shine
Reflected on the city
Illuminated the road in the sky
They say he has ten thousand brothers
And all of them believing men
And ten thousand sisters
And many children
He has vision for a river of time
Who can stop the rain at will
When you find him he can make it rhyme
And get even better still
He walks inside the cities teaching ecology
He painted a rose for a masterpiece
And helps the blind to see
He had a love for the game
A taste for whiskey
A weakness for pretty women
But he couldn't understand the cruelty
To lock up so many people inside prisons
He is a man who loves his freedom
Sundance is clever
And a man with many faces
But he´s the only one I know
Holding all four aces
Now some say he is a prophet
And some just one man
But I know him as a friend of Jesus
And a child of the desert sand
Asking
How can the most advanced
Civilization of all time
be so far behind
be so far behind?
Now Sundance is among you
Golden Rain fall from the sky
Sky roses
Raining from the sky
Roses from the sky!

Mike Dupras
I live on top of the world
We condemn intimidation but there´s no fight
For the kind and gentle children of the light
Wake up sleeper arise from the dead
Take a journey to a home breaking bread
I live on top of the world
I´m on the opposite side of attraction
I believe in truth and the ultimate satisfaction
There´s a visible light in you
A lookout for the new
I live on top of the world
In a house of a thousand eyes
-Bridge-
You were once children of darkness
But now you are light
Wake up sleeper arise from the dead
Take a journey to a home breaking bread
