What are you listening to right now? v2.0

Just discovered this recording of the 1st Dylan gig I went to... I remember going away disappointed... but the set list was amazing and 2 songs stood out - which I'd never heard before: Err. The Ballard of Hollis Brown at 7 mins, and even more so the acoustic version of 'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll' at 40..

 
A bit of Maddy Prior's set from 2008 or thereabouts, in the old BBC Electric Proms, specifically the bits with a couple of special guests.



I think this was the first time Tim Hart and Maddy Prior had sung together for more than a decade, and Hart's last ever performance. He was diagnosed with lung cancer a month or so after this, and within a year he was dead.



Maddy Prior and June Tabor: the Silly Sisters reunited for the first time in years. They still sound glorious together, although it has to be said that Prior's dancing hasn't improved as the years have gone on...
