@BennyOnTheLoose: Good article. Though, the hooks kind of feel a bit bland. The only one that really interests me is Alt2 but i'm not all too confident about it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:13, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
How about a version of one of these, Onegreatjoke? (I think there's something in ALT3, but it might need tweaking.)
- ALT3: ... that in 1966 one of the Hawks (later known as the Band) played on "Obviously 5 Believers", which was later the name of a band (later known as the Hawks) who played on Obviously 5 Believers (2021)? Sources: Heylin, Clinton (2021). Heylin, Clinton (2021). The Double Life of Bob Dylan. Vol. 1 1941-1966, A restless, hungry feeling pp. 388–392.; Seaman, Duncan (August 26, 2021); "Stephen Duffy and David Twist on The Hawks: 'We weren't after world domination'". The Yorkshire Post.
- ALT4: ... that "Obviously 5 Believers" by Bob Dylan inspired the name of a band featuring Duran Duran founding member Stephen Duffy? Sources: Petridis, Alexis (October 15, 2004). "Radio daze". The Guardian.; Seaman, Duncan (August 26, 2021); "Stephen Duffy and David Twist on The Hawks: 'We weren't after world domination'". The Yorkshire Post.
- @BennyOnTheLoose: Alt3 could work but I do agree that a rewording is needed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- How about...
- ALT3a ... that "Obviously 5 Believers" (1966) which featured one of the Hawks, later known as the Band, inspired the name of a band, later known as the Hawks, who featured on Obviously 5 Believers (2021)? BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:21, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Alt 3 is good. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:35, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- @BennyOnTheLoose:
I can't verify in the article that the Hawks were later known as the Band? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:15, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- D'oh! I've added to the text, with a reference; let me know if this isn't suitable. Thanks, theleekycauldron. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- From Heylin (2021), as it's an offline source: "Dylan rejoined the Hawks [in New York]... [for the next set of sessions in Nashville] he co-opted Robertson" (p.392) BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:15, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- @BennyOnTheLoose: hmm, but what about the band changing its name to 'the Band'? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: That's in the Guardian source which I had added: "the Hawks outgrew their leader. They hooked up with Bob Dylan in the mid-60s and by the end of the decade were superstars on their own who had renamed themselves the Band." Sorry this is a bit convoluted; the Heylin quote was intended to confirm that Robertson joined Dylan for the Nashville recordings (as actually the other Hawks didn't). 21:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

- Trying another ping for Onegreatjoke, since the above one didn't go through. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

- @BennyOnTheLoose: Sorry to rain on the nomination but I feel like ALT3 is TMI. And too many laters. Bruxton (talk) 01:44, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- @BennyOnTheLoose: nobody has come back to say anything about my concern so I will promote and hope I am alone in my concern. Bruxton (talk) 01:53, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
