I love specials like this. I love musical Icons. I love being able to, credibly, brow beat my PD into listening to and airing these kinds of specials. He's going to read this review and close his door when he sees me coming! Because this hour does not disappoint!
The story of the Band and Robbie's solo and multi faceted career is deep and hugely interesting. The interview with Robbie is fascinating. Hearing him tell the stories himself adds such a delightful level of interest.
The trouble with interviewing stars though, is that they, like all of us, revert back in time and tend to ramble a bit. Since this is a live interview, it is a bit tough to edit "focus" into it. But no matter, all this time with Robbie will be a treat to listeners.
The interview focuses a lot on the famous Dylan Go Electric period and that story alone is worth the listen.
I'm not sure what?s what with the 51 min run time. It's not standardized and will require editing and filling. That's easy with these kind of pieces, but a producer supplied list of fill songs to time would be helpful.
