keyse1 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 One of the standout performances on the record half the song is I think just Bob and the backing female singers and a piano not too many words or at least different words more instruments toward the end of the song pretty sure these shows were booed inSan Francisco at the time complete with walkouts Also pretty sure I would not have liked or understood what I was hearing at that time if I had been there like most Dylan fanatics I would have been too hung up on Blood On The Tracks And Highway 61 to have appreciated it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Still here 3 hours later was going to drive down to Billinudgel for curry but now I’m drinking so looks like toasted ham and cheese for tea another great song just Bob the female gospel back up singers and a piano I think and it’s just a rehearsal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Used to be a ballad but now You can almost feel the heat rising on this shouted electric guitar “cover” version of a Times They Are A Changin song 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 One of Bob’s best love songs ever Beautifully written and sung from Nashville Skyline And now a 5 minute rewrite of lust and electricity shouted at the top of his voice leaving no doubt as to the reason for relocating upstairs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Another simple song from Nashville Skyline I never knew what I had till I threw it all away a simple acknowledgement of his role in the mess he was in ironically on this record it precedes Idiot Wind in full blame unforgiving mode i remember seeing this tv show in the late 70’s and for Dylan fanatics it was a rare and exiting event in modern parlance a real WTF moment after years of the recorded versions of these songs and then these confrontational shouted electric guitar driven Versions how close to tv screen is it possible to sit without leaving print? Never been seen again on tv although I have a bootleg video of it incredible stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilettanteque Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) @keyse1 inspires with his deft focus on the scintilla of his Bobness' work. It has been many a year since I saw his 6 Entertainment Centre shows in Sydney, and teh proportion of annual listening time he represents has certainly dropped since then for me. But he is a touchstone, a place to always come back to. You find so much in what he has found interesting to put out to the awaiting crowd, whatever the motive. Persusing this forum earlier i was led to this album. I have always loved it, as the voice tells you these songs meant something to the artist. And then there was that "memorable" duet with Tom Petty on "I've Forgotten More" Edited February 26, 2019 by Dilettanteque 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the Bob’s whiskey? @keyse1...... still here, just not been lurking lately. Bob's whiskey left me a bit disappointed. Lot's of heat and from memory 50+ % ABV As a whiskey maker, Bob is a good singer Take care now... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippi Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Bob Dylan - My Back Pages (live) "Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now" Such a great live version of the song - even when he forgets a lyric or two, it's a work of art. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 87 versions including false starts of 10 songs So not for the casual fan Or sad people who don’t get Bob The problem with this amount of information about Blood On The Tracks Or any of the electric 60’s records is that the subject records are the best records ever made so alternate takes are interesting but not crucial listening unlike say Tell Tale Signs with alternate takes and unreleased songs that are not just better than the released ones but reinforce Dylan’s greatnesses as an artist at a time he was considered too far from his prime to be of equal importance to the 60’s or 70’s i am glad that a lot of the songs even though sounding fully formed from the very first take were re recorded a few months later and given the benefit of a more intense vocal take that is Blood On The Tracks Very hotly debated amongst Dylan fanatics Also stands as a testament to what a great singer Dylan is as he tries out different voices For the right one to match some of his best and most personal lyrics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hellfire and damnation Israel Folau and our happy clapping Prime Minister should take a lesson from this After a year or so of sometimes obsessive listening it’s close to my favourite Dylan record outside Blood On The Tracks And the 60’s stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Killer song musically could be from Blonde On Blonde Not lyrically or vocally Odd because nothing else sounds faintly like Blonde On Blonde And the next song is so beautifully sung and written from I think Desire but could be wrong on that Sounds nothing like the first version of the song that I heard on Biograph Said this many times before in relation to Dylan how on earth coulda song as good as this never be released but awful ones get released I don’t get it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
