Before. During. After. with Tony Law

I love the thing about changing bits that work.

I saw Bob Dylan do a gig a few years ago and, and he was doing some of his hits and, But he was almost, well, not almost, it must have been on purpose.

He was deliberately singing like a Rolling Stone.

but to a totally different tune.

And it would only be like three lines in that you would go, oh my God, this is like a rolling star.

Yeah,

I really like that.

And I like that from some people.

So I like how Bob Dylan will keep his small room of people wherever he goes who absolutely love it.

And he's cut himself off from...

I mean, there's some bands or comedians, you kind of want them to do the song as close to it as you can.

I think if you went to see the Rolling Stones, you'd want it to sound like how they wrote it.

You don't want them improvising too much.

Although,

yeah.

I like if everyone fucks around, really.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know what you mean.

I often think that in the main, not like how you do it, because you're... brilliantly i think quite unique in what you do but quite often i think the big difference between a music gig and a comedy gig is if you're watching a comedian and they start a bit you already know a little part of you is like

oh, I fucking heard this one.

Whereas if a band plays the start of your favourite song by that band, you go,

yeah!

Conversely, if a comic says, well, the classic old musical thing would be a funny thing happened to me on the way to the theatre.

then you lean in.

And if your favourite band says, ah, great crowd, this is one of our new album, you say to your mates, right, my round, shall I all go to the bar now?
