Us Dylan types are getting more than a little excited about His Nibs' upcoming performance on Tuesday's penultimate David Letterman show. Will he give us a moving 'Stay With Me' or a perhaps inappropriate 'Long and Wasted Years'? A sublime 'Autumn Leaves' or a predictable 'Forever Young'? All these titles and more have been mentioned in dispatches since Bob's appearance was announced 24 hours ago. Whatever he chooses to play, it will have to go some to top 'Take One Last Look', a stunning new song premiered by Tom Waits on Friday's show.

Bob and Tom say Goodbye to Dave

Beautiful. Can't wait to see what Bob does but he won't be able to top that, will he? 'Going, Going, Gone'? No chance, obviously.
Thanks so much for the heads up on Bob's appearance Tuesday night, Mr. S.
Tom's song was really something. Thanks for posting... probably would have missed that.
Mr. S,
I'll send you another invite, but listening is available only on the private blog. The public site is just a survey/record of the top 1,001 tunes that I've posted over the past five years.
Stunning song, great to see Tom back. Cheers for posting.
Just watched/listened to Bob's song on Letterman and thought it was an excellent performance. But this song by TW is nothing short of sensational....can't wait to hear the studio version.
