Bob Dylan - 'Seven Days' from the Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3

No, it's sourced from a soundboard tape.

What's the noise?

 

Applause, maybe?

 

Great song. I wish it was also included on the 'Live - thirty nine years' comp.

 

always loved ronnie wood's version.

 

I've always prefered Ron Wood's cover of "Seven Days" (on Gimme Some Neck), which is strange, 'cause I almost always prefer Bob's "originals."

"Seven Days" is, for me, a case of a song that needed to be performed a few more times before the arrangment was right.

 

I like Ronnie's live version from the Dylan 30th anniversary album even more. I was listening to it the other day - this same version also appears on Wood's new anthology, the Essential Crossexion - and it's really strong. He manages to sound a lot like Dylan, too.

 

Joe Cocker did a nice version of "Seven Days" on his great SHEFFIELD STEEL album from 1982.

 

Some of Bob's best performances [that would blow your socks off] are soundboard tapes in a collection compilled by Bob's management. Some have been released in free CD collections given out to fans as a gift from Bob and Sony Music. (Highlands just has to be heard in its live soundboard version, it is just a superb performance it takes the song to another level). Some of Bob's very best performances, that circulate among fans, have never been released in any official form.

Richard.

 

Anytime they want to start releasing some of them, I'm there!
