ROBBIE ROBERTSON WITH BOB DYLAN AND THE BAND, "LAY, LADY, LAY"

www.wolfgangsvault.com/

From the fabulous live music site Wolfgang's Vault, here are three different versions of this arrangement. Each one has lots of Robertson fills, plus a solo. I believe the first is the released version from 1974's "Before the Flood," but Robertson fans will find a few new ideas on the other versions here. Robertson gets a lot of mileage out of the high G position, but even though it's basically all pentatonic he never sounds stale, and he doesn't really sound like anyone else. (Aficionados will hear a little Roy Buchanan in Robbie's pinched harmonics, but the phrasing is his own.)
