I’m so jealous with girl from the north country!

Not Dark Yet

Boots of Spanish Leather

Tomorrow is a Long Time

Most of the Time

When the Deal Goes Down

Stuff like that?

If not, what would you put on it?

I'm losing my dog and it's killing me.

This is the take that clicked for me. Always hear talking on this sub about the greatness of this song and, while I always loved the song, it didn’t seem at the same level of Bob’s greatest work. But this take and the way he spits it out, is just way way up there for me. That is all.

Most of us would agree that Dylan is somewhat of an acquired taste.

But, in your opinion, what are some of his songs that have an immediate and easily accessible appeal?

(Imagine the person you’re trying to convert either knows very little about Dylan or hasn’t heard him at all.)

I’m going with…

1. Buckets of Rain

2. The Man in Me

3. Mississippi (Outtake from Telltale Signs)

Refurbishing my website turned up some really old stuff. Here's a "Zits" comic from June 2004. (I gotta admit, during the 90s & early aughts, Bob had just about perfected the "constipated guitarist" pose.)

We know that Bob had two new verses on Tangled up in Blue(!) ö both in Oslo and Gothenburg. But when I heard him play Crossing the Rubicon I swear I heard lyrics that are not on the album. Did anybody hear this or experience the same?

What’s your favorite Dylan cover song? Many songs that people have covered from Dylan are, in my opinion, much better than Dylan’s originals!

Mine is Mama, You’ve Been on my Mind by George Harrison…perhaps Dylan’s most famous friendship and, in my eyes, the most intimate and improved cover of them all.

Honorable mention to Ballad of a Thin Man by Richard Hawley. His cover is absolutely incredible and FAR better than Dylan’s.

Hi! Does anyone know a way i can get tickets for anywhere in the UK, without paying over 200 for resale? 😊 If you know of a reputable site that doesn’t have insane resale prices please do tell me 🙏

Like the new tour shirt

Ho fatto un bob dylan alternativo post fama senza aver pubblicato nulla dopo l’incidente in moto che incontra una vecchia amante, con la caption presa da Isis, da intendere nella furente versione live

I love the transition when he goes blaming her from blaming others. Like it comes off guarded.

“Even you yesterday, had to ask me where i was at”

For me it is every month a dylan’s track that i cannot get over listening to. It changes every month ts month its IDIOT WIND 💨

I also picked up Disc 2, also for $1. I do not have Disc 1 or the packaging or booklet for that matter.

This recording was new to me. Was able to make it sound a bit clearer, hope you enjoy :)

Hi. I was listening to "Dublin Blues" by Guy Clark, which Bob played in Oslo a few nights ago. I didn't know the song, and it is wonderful.

I had a look at the lyrics and he sings, at one point: "I loved you on the Spanish Steps the day you said goodbye", which obviously reminded me of the verse "[...] double/on a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs" from WIPMM, Spanish Stairs and Spanish Steps being the same thing.

Do you think that there is a connection? I mean, did he add "Dublin Blues" to the setlist also because of this correspondence, like a sort of "stream of consciousness"?

Really cool to see some oldies being played again!

I know Bob is notorious (at least in recent years) for not doing encores, unless for a special occasion (he did an encore when I saw him in Nottingham a few years back because it was the same day Jerry Lee Lewis had passed), so I was surprised to see an encore on the first night of the European tour ?

Anyone who was there could they explain if it was a proper encore ? Did he leave the stage and return or did he just take an applause before playing the final song ?

Will be interested to see if this continues tomorrow night ?

Any thoughts ?

For the past couple of years I've been keeping a spreadsheet of my favourite cover(s) of each Dylan song. (I originally intended to include just one cover of each song, but in some cases it proved too difficult to decide.) For those who like figures, it currently has 1364 covers of 515 different songs by 930 different artists. Since it's a spreadsheet, there are of course ratings as well. ;-)

Now I've decided to create Youtube playlists of covers of each Dylan album. For a change, I'm going to work backwards. But Rough and Rowdy Ways is a bit too recent to have a decent cover of every track, so I'm starting with Tempest. The playlist is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSi5yceI3cvc

And here are the ratings (of the cover, not the song) on a scale of 5 (excellent) - 1 (hmm):

I expect there'll be a lot of disagreement about the ratings, which is fine. I'll be interested to see if anybody can point to better covers of any of these, particularly Narrow Way or Tin Angel.

Anyway hopefully the playlist will provoke some discussion. I'm planning to post one album a week (on Sundays of course!)

EDIT: ALL DONE, thanks u/Spare-Jellyfish4339

Early one morning the sun was shining 
He was lying in bed 
Wondering if she changed at all 
If her hair was still red 
And her folks they said their life together 
Sure was gonna be rough 
Never did like mamas homemade dress 
Daddy's bank book wasn't big enough 
And he was standing on the side of the road 
Rain falling on his shoes 
Heading out for the east coast 
Lord knows he paid some dues 
Tangled up in blue 

He was married when he first met 
Soon to be divorced
Got her out of a jam i guess but he used a little too much force 
And they drove that car as far as they could 
Abandoned it out west 
Splitting up on a dark sad night 
Both agreeing it was best  
He turned around to look at her 
She was walking away 
Saying over he shoulder we gotta meet again someday 
On the avenue 
Tangled up in blue 

Way up in the frozen woods
Teardrops touch the sky 
The leaves are falling one by one
And the moments passing by 
Sometimes I get so tired 
Sometimes im getting away 
Lucky you found another 
Tomorrows another day 
And all the while I was alone 
The past was close behind
Seen a lot of people but 
She never escaped my mind 
She just grew 
Tangled up in blue 

Things were gettin’ to cost too much
Love had slipped through my hand
Certain truths are dancing
I never did understand
You bury the hatchet
You put her to bed 
Sometime you go for a ride
Nothing ever looks the same 
After you've been on the other side 
It turns around watch it disappear 
Whatever i was looking at 
He never did find it here 
Neither did you 
Tangled up in blue 

She lit a burner on the stove 
I prayed to the dust 
You look like someone i used to know she said 
Someone i used to trust 
Then she opened up her book of poems 
That she left to you 
Memorize those lines she said 
They glow like _______?
Every one of them words rang true 
Glowed like burning coal 
On and off of every page 
Like it was written in my soul 
From me to you 
Tangled up in blue 

So now im going on back again 
I've gotta get to her some how 
All the trees? are dead and gone 
Tomorrow might as well be now 
Some of them went on the mountaintops
Some of them down in the ground
Some of their names were written in flames
Some of them just left town
Me, im still on the road 
Headed for another joint
Well we always felt the same 
We just saw from a different point of view 
Tangled up in blue
