This may just have been the most enjoyable interview segment I've ever watched. The guy interviewing G.E. had a great, spontaneous sense of humor and him and G.E. just ran with it.

Pretty Peggy-O is on the b-side of Dylan’s debut album 1962 a great tune!

Apparently the interviewer didn't know that. Probably never heard Freight Train Blues either. Kids 🙂🙃😉

What a life GE has lived! He has played everywhere, with everyone you could imagine. Bravo

Bob was known to play stuff just to see if the band could follow him with no communication, then without a word he d change the key with no warning etc. Lol

GE was my first guitar hero. I used to watch SNL as a kid and they always announced the band ya know and he was the first great player I really got to watch and hear. Always wailed!!🤘

Yet another top class interview from Joseph Arthur's highly under rated podcast. Why does this series not have more subscribers and views? It's a mystery to me!

a stellar narrative with one of the most versatile and pleasant musicians ever, Mr. Smith. A treasure trove of history, first hand, most would never learn. Well done and much appreciated.

Never heard a bad Peggy-O, but ♡Garcia/Hunter♡ version is spectacular...!!! "If ever I return, all your cities I will burn".

Thank you. No one besides you actually seems interested IN WHY BOB LOVED AND PLAYED THAT SONG, and used it to audition musicians. 😂

Bob not only had Tom Petty & Grateful Dead as his bands on tour, but started with The Hawks which were renamed The Band.

Bob was not a big fan of him though. He was never on any of Bobs albums and G.E. was not happy about it.

@@geoffleah2958 I’ve got 3 books on Bob and one is on every known recording sessions to include stuff that at the time wasn’t yet on his “ official bootleg series” and it’s bad ass seeing the number of songs left off. To get off the topic for a minute, the amount left off of Shot of love was unbelievable compared to all his rest and it wasn’t even close. But my point on the recording retrospective and the numerous studio musicians used and he was never used. The fact he then is the de facto band leader on the 50th birthday bash at MSG in 1992 I think Bobs way of apologizing. I loved his band right after G.E. Left. I don’t think outside of The Band and The Heartbreakers he had a more complete band then J.J. (John) Jackson guitar Bucky Baxter- pedal/ Steel guitar Tony Garnier( I think Bob won him in a poker hand)going on 30 + years now Winston Watson - drums. Just my opinion. 😎☮️🎤🎸🥁🤷🏼‍♂️

I saw Bob Dylan and Merle Haggard once. Early 2000’s. Merle was awesome. I like Bob, but he could not have given less of shit (at least that is the way it seemed). He played hits but they were unrecognizable. Super fast tempo. I’ve always liked GE, but I didn’t know who he was back then. I have no idea if he was in Bob’s band then or not.

@kzinful Жыл бұрын

GE is just one of those musicains as in this case who recieves a phone call and plays for Bob Dylan, and his life is like that, where he ends up playing with these incredible people. Same thing with Earl Slick, gets a phone call and plays with John Lennon. I know that it comes down to talent and reputation when someone needs your 'sound', but as a fan I would be nervous as hell to play with a Lennon or Dylan, and yet GE makes look so easy, just a gig, right? GE is one cool cat, you dig?

When you invite someone to your podcast ...I would hope you did it so you could hear what they have to say ... Otherwise there's no point in having them on your podcast ... cause obviously you're seemingly the center of the conversation ... They no one cares about !!!!!!!!!
