Just found out about this one, super excited for it, under kinda weird 24-hour free-rolling-admission-pending-venue-capacity-with-RSVP membership-drive-cavalcade-of-craziness circumstances. Really hope I get in.http://www.cinefamily.org/films/telethon2013/

Recordings of all (but especially the Earth show) would be appreciated!

Planning on it, believe me. I just looked up the film, it's 79 minutes, hallucinatory Saharan desert mirage footage shot under trying circumstances; a perfect match. Will they improv, or play their tunes? According to Dylan's twitter they are currently recording a new album at a studio in Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave Desert (beautiful place just east of LA) with two new band members. Tinariwen just recorded somewhere out there too, I suspect outdoors as is their habit.

There will be a live stream of this event on the Cinefamily website, so you could try to capture the stream and record it that way too. Sometime between 5-9pm US pacific std time.

Never made it inside the venue, due to bait-and-switch last-minute ticket gauging. Adverts said non-members would be let in free on first come first serve basis. My budget is tight so I got there many hours early and was first in line, then at the end they sell off the last 10 available seats at $50 a pop. Kinda pissed. Made it home in time to see the very end of the live stream.

Wowzers, that is a very cunty switcheroo - I would be way angrier than "kinda pissed". Really sorry for you.

Thanks, I found this eventually. I was presuming it would be London for some reason. This is just down the road from me. I'll have to check my diary (it'll be empty).
