Bob Dylan Listening Thread

my 4 favs at the moment and most moments of my Dylan listening!
Desolation Row...
Ballad Of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest...
You Ain't Going Nowhere...
I Shall Be Released...

 

The three songs in red sound like a self-isolation playlist.

 

Right now, my favorite Dylan album.

 

Yeah.

 

Bob Dylan - The Pedlar Now Speaks

 

So many fantastic performances on these great soundboards. I wish there was an official release

 

LOL! yea you are right...must be subliminal!

 

playing Wild Wolf from The Basement Tapes. What a recording this one is!

honestly I'm not half sure what he's saying most of it but whatever it is I bet it's the most profound words ever spoken

 

The latest Crystal Cat release from Dylan’s shows at the Beacon Theatre in NYC. I’ve been listening to the shows on YouTube and was so impressed with how he and his band were sounding, and was waiting for a great recording.

A real step up since the Hyde Park show in London last summer in my opinion.

 

Imagine if there was just a release of some of the best acoustic numbers from '95.
I mean Mr. Tambourine Man was the best of the three songs from this show for me just now (I'm on God Knows now),
but this (the only one on you tube from the show I could find now), is incredible.

these two Philly shows and Berkeley are my favorites from '95. And then there's Prague........

 

Good Lord how have I missed this?

 

Bob Dylan - Live 1962-1966 (Rare Performances From The Copyright Collections)

 

I - wow I'm the only person on SHF who listens to Bob!
If this was a Beatles thread what Beatles are you listening to, there'd be a hundred posts each day it seems.

Anyway listened to this earlier, listening again to it
And MAN does the title track hit home,
far too apt for these days (some of the lyrics; the opening lines, the chorus)

 

Oneonta, New York - 11/19/08

...threw the bums a dime in your prime, ha-ha, didn’t you... Like A Rolling Stone was particularly good on this evening. Due to the potential rabbit hole when it comes to collecting bootlegs the criteria for me is that it has to be a show that I attended. Anyway, this was a good one.

Barton Hall, Ithaca, New York 11/15/1999.

If the Oneonta show was Bob on it and in a great mood this show is what my friends and I still refer to as The Rake or Charlie’s Rough Night because at one point during the show Bob rolled up the volume on his guitar and up stroked on the strings displeased with something going on in what he was hearing from the band. Bob had shot a few hard looks towards Sexton throughout the performance. On the drive home the four of us came to the consensus that Charlie had nodded to Larry Campbell to “take it” and that Bob had greatly disagreed with this thinking. We were right up front and were getting the sound from the stage and had heard the rake, however I still cannot hear it on my copy possibly due to it being that the sound was recorded from the house p.a. My copy is not a soundboard recording. Also, Phil Lesh and Friends (with Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and Jorma Kaukonen) went on first and Phil did acknowledged what had happened the last time that he had played Barton Hall.

1. Somebody Touched Me (acoustic)
2. Song To Woody (acoustic)
3. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (acoustic)
4. Tomorrow Is A Long Time (acoustic)
5. Tangled Up In Blue (acoustic) (with harp)
6. Money Honey (song by Jesse Stone)
7. Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) (Larry on fiddle and Bob on harp)
8. Man Of Peace
9. I Want You (Larry on pedal steel)
10. This Wheel's On Fire (Larry on pedal steel)
11. Cat's In The Well
    (encore)
    
    
12. Love Sick
13. Like A Rolling Stone
14. Forever young (acoustic)
15. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
16. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (acoustic)
17. Not Fade Away

 

Phil’s set list just for the heck of it:

1. 
   
   • jam
   • Eyes Of The World
   • jam
   • Mountains Of The Moon
2. Soulshine (Warren Haynes on vocals)
3. Mr. Charlie (Jorma Kaukonen on vocals)

When The Cutting Edge came out someone on this forum compiled a CD's worth of stuff on the big box that wasn't on the 6 CD version.

 

Times are a Changing. Been on family vacation on Sanibel Island Florida for 10 days. No radio, no CDs , no records ........ iPhone for music. Needless to say quite a bit has changed...... with Corona virus .......beach closed , bars closed, no restaurant dining , grocery stores empty and stock market down making future uncertain.
In times like these I look to music for hope.
That means a big dose of Dylan. I have lots of Dylan on my phone but not the one I’m wanting to hear. Tomorrow when I get home it’s “Nashville Skyline” I need to hear because it will lighten my mood. Came out Spring 1969 and I played it almost daily through that summer and for me it gets hope.
Be Safe

 

New Morning is another good one for me re mood increase

 

That's a wonderful concert, a stand-out even for Fall 1999.

 

Indeed, it was a terrific show and it also gave my friends and I a glimpse of how Bob leads his band or Bob as an employer. Another show where this was shown was a year later at Lehigh University (11/8/00) when Bob gave Charlie a thumbs up at one point and was clearly showing his approval throughout the show. Like Miles Davis getting either look just might make one’s night or make it rather unpleasant. Immediate feedback if you will.
