Bob Dylan DVD, Genesis Tour, Hot New Rock Tracks

On Rocktober 30th you can buy a new Bob Dylan DVD, The Other Side of the Mirror -- Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965. About 70% of the music from this DVD has never been released in any form before. It was during the 1965 performance at this festival that Dylan "went electric", which angered some fans who were accustomed to Dylan's acoustic performances. Also a movie called "I'm Not There" with 6 different actors playing Dylan opens in theatres November 21. Dylan hits the road with Elvis Costello this fall. And, as if that wasn't enough, Bob debuts the second season of his XM Satellite Radio show September 19. Plenty for Dylan fans to cheer about.

Genesis begins their first tour in 15 years tomorrow (Sept. 7) in Toronto, Canada. The band is saying that they don't have any ideas or plans for what may or may not happen once this tour is over, so we may not get anything new from the band. However, there are hopes that the band will get Peter Gabriel to join them for some special concerts to recreate "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." 2007 seems to be the year for a lot of reunions, which is just fine with me.

Some Hot New Rock Tracks for ya to check out: Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On) and John Fogerty - Don't You Wish It Was True

Roger Waters from Pink Floyd is 64 years old today.
