Magnetic Movements On-Line 

Hello again

Things are moving a little now. Certainly this is a very current MM with everything herein only a matter of weeks old at most. I do hope you appreciate the great efforts we at FW Towers go to bring you the best, first. I do not expect there to be much, if any for December however. But there’s more’n enough here for you to find. Not listed but also doing the round is a very nice double DVD “UK 97 Tour Compilation” none of the material is new but the sound has been redubbed to Crystal Cat type quality, making it a very nice memento indeed. Look it up, if you’ve got the time.

BINGHAMTON                                                                                                             104.00

Our furtive hero here went two consecutive shows and filmed both, and as is apparent learn from his own mistakes. This first show is pretty much complete, and the filmer has obviously used a tripod. However he is too far away and the angle is not great. The film varies from 3 to 5 as the taper zooms in a lot. But the distance makes a the picture a little soft when he does so. The distance also means that camera shake is hard to avoid. The taper is looking down at Bob so if he bends over the keyboard his hat gets in the way. It was a good first effort though, and you may want to check it out for the less than standard set list.

BETHLEHEM                                                                                                                    95.00

Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat / Absolutely Sweet Marie / Lonesome Day Blues / This Wheel's On Fire / Seeing The Real You At Last / Positively 4th Street / Tweedle Dee And Tweedle Dum / Under The Red Sky / Bye And Bye / Highway 61 Revisited / Masters Of War / Honest With Me / Girl Of The North Country / Summer Days / Like A Rolling Stone / All Along The Watchtower

Night two and our man is at it again. He’s got to the right side so Bob is nearer to face on to him. He is also closer but sensibly does not zoom in much closer. The net result is a much steadier, sharper film that is easy to watch. Get this one. (I’d get ‘em both actually.)

SIXTY MINUTES TV INTERVIEW                                                                                    15.30

Sadly sixty minutes is the name of the news show and does not relate to the length of the interview! This is charming stuff, Bob’s genial and open and he is interviewed in a sympathetic manner. However I do not intend to go on here but elsewhere in this issue. Suffice to say you should be looking for this now rather than reading this!
