Bob Dylan Performs “Idiot Wind” from Blood on the Tracks
Just before the session began, Weber loitered in the booth while the musicians gathered around Dylan. Weber hoped that he’d be allowed to stay and watch the recording. Then Dylan turned, looking through the booth at Weber with a puzzled look on his face. Weber’s heart sank. “I was hoping I could stay and watch the sessions”. Dylan eyed Weber. “No, man,” he said. ” I need you to play guitar on this.”
Weber jumped from the booth in excitement, guitar in hand, knowing that he would play on one of Dylan’s greatest tracks. He would be a part of history.
“He’s like a fictional character, but he’s real.”
