So strong, so powerful, so Bob Dylan, uncompromising always. He has enhanced my long life like no one else. Imagine future generations growing up without Bob in their side! We are the fortunate ones to live in his times, our Shakespeare, Mozart!
Wow...what a comment!!!!..i remember when in 1975 comes to me one Lp call Desire....the best Lp of all my life...this poems change my mind..put me out of the box.....
Thanks Mike Beerley! This is great Bob and Emmy Lou and of course that haunting sweeping violin with Scarlet Rivera who is too overlooked for her talent! Emmy suits this song! Love it when Bob plays his harmonica with the violin because they share a tonal quality and often overlap but Scarlet is mostly harmonizing to Bob's harp! Really great rendition!
This a precious version. It´s more quiet and delicious, than the single. The original from Desire is the FORCE and the RAGE. That´s HURRICANE withh more sweetness, with the great and Sweet Emmilou Harris.
2nd to none ! master of story telling, musical genius, so happy to have grown up with his style of music . what an influential person for all the right reasons
As a lifelong lover of Dylan's music, I am so grateful to you guys that post stuff like this that I would have otherwise never heard. in this case, Mike Beerly. Thanks Mike!
I think the poets call it 'enjambment.' and Dylan uses it wonderfully in both versions of this masterpiece. Oh, and Emmylou is extraordinary as always.
Did some research on Wiki... The lyrics of this version were rewritten to avoid a possible lawsuit. This is really a document. TY for sharing this, Mike.
Thank you very much for posting this. Not so long ago my offerings from The Desire Sessions were removed. This is a sublime version of The Hurricane. Everything about it is perfect to me. Those vocals, That violin, Those conga drums. Dylan is the supreme master.

Still celebrating Bob Dylan's controvertial Nobel prize. I love the song "Hurricane". This song is very relevant today. Black Lives Matter movement would relate. Got this description from another youtube video: "The song is about Rubin "Huricane" Carter (born May 6, 1937), an African American middleweight boxer. In 1966, police arrested Carter for a triple homicide in the Lafayette Bar and Grill in Paterson, New Jersey. Police stopped Carter's car and brought him and another occupant, John Artis, to the scene of the crime. ...There was little physical evidence. Police took no fingerprints at the crime scene and lacked the facilities to conduct a paraffin test for gunshot residue. None of the eyewitnesses identified Carter or Artis as the shooters. Carter and Artis were tried and convicted twice (1967 and 1976) for the murders, but after the second conviction was overturned in 1985, prosecutors chose not to try the case for a third time. Carter's story inspired the 1975 Bob Dylan song Hurricane. From 1993 to 2005, Carter served as executive director of the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted." He died in 2014.
With credit to Lisette Sanabria's comment below, I also love the song "Hurricane". And yes, the song is very relevant today. People do NOT wake up, ever, so this must be repeated. And repeated . . . and repeated. Thank you, again, Bob Dylan. Just also keep great new tunes coming to us.
Oh, how I wanted to listen another song of Bob Dylan sung together with Emmylou Harris!! The dream come true at last. Thank you for sharing. ... Well, but I have to admit that he sang this song better with Ronee Blakley.
Well, the originalwith Ronee is STRONGER, WITH MUCH RAGE, it was made for the concerts, and at last it was released as single. I prefer....the tw versions.
this was supposed to be the orginal version but he had to rerecord it because he calls out the 2 dip shits that robbed the bar and columbia was afraid of getting sued so he had to record it with out those lyrics
They did. It was only rerecorded at the last minute because the same Patty Valentine the song mentions was threatening a law suit over the lines "she sees a bartender in a pool of blood, cries out they've killed my love" and Dylans record company Columbia were also worried about a potential lawsuit over the lines about Arthur Dexter Bradley "robbing the bodies", so Dylan was forced to do a quick rewrite.
wow. not taking anything away from the version that was on the album, but this one---it's very powerful and moving and textured, never heard it before, it sure sounds good couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game now all the criminals in their coats and ties are free to drink martinis and to watch the sunrise
Long ago there was an epic Dylan version of the song She acts like we never met' on RUclips. The track feels a little like this one. I searched many times here but never found it since 2013. Anyone?
Good one Mike, thanks for posting. After listening (or trying to) Melancholy Mood, his new Sinatra record, this is really a pleasure to find and play. Like a lot of diehard fans, I miss his storytelling songs when he was in his prime. I wonder if Bobster will get back to doing new music that he was the benchmark he had set.
You're welcome, tenniscollector. I sure hope that you're right. He still has 31 songs from his "Standards" recordings which I'm guessing will be the next 2 or 3 albums. Though I thoroughly enjoy these albums, I wish he would end on an originals album. But who knows what the hell he's thinking! 😊
Hard to say. I have 4 on rotation right now: Fallen Angels, Shadows In The Night, Blood On The Tracks Original Test Pressing and songs from Renaldo and Clara.
Hey Toxic, this is what I've been listening to from Renaldo and Clara, so I decided to make a video of it. Due to copyright, I couldn't use People Get Ready. ruclips.net/video/2isFOLvumBg/видео.html
Elena, Yo también soy de Spain. I realy LOVE THE DYLAN´S ART. En España todavía hay mayoría que están en contra de su Nobel. Hay demasiada ignorancia en España....qué pena de país, donde los bares están llenos y las bibliotecas vacías!
JAVIER FUENTES La verdad es que sí. Yo también amo la música y el arte que tiene Bob Dylan y tienes razón, hay varias personas que no están a favor de su Nobel pero por mucho que no estén a favor, se lo han dado, que se jodannnnnn 7u7
Gracias a tí, Elena. Estoy bastante disgustado con mi paisito.... Hace 2 meses abrí una página interesante sobre Dylan en Facebook. En 1 mes, tuve ¡4! visitas. Así que la cerré y estoy escribiendo un libro pero por placer y por deuda con Bob. Sé que venderé 5 copias + o - . Pero estoy contento de saber que al menos tú eres distinta. Llevo 32 años escuchando y analizando letra por letra, canción por canción, cambio por cambio de Dylan, etc. y no te imaginas el cerebro que tiene. Sólo en el apartado de curiosidades te quedarías asombrada. P. Ejemplo: ¿sabías que él ADORABA a SARA, pero no sabes hasta qué punto? Descubrí entre otras decenas de detalles: GiPYSY : Sara, todas las referencias a Gitano/a ( Sara era judía pero hija de un chatarrero, de ahí las referencias al metal de Sad-eyed lady....,:->"Con tus memorias de placas de metal...." Sara es judía, pero con sabiduría de gitana, (ver fotos de Sara con el pañuelo en la cabeza.) todas esas referencias son para Sara, la portada de Desire -su aspecto de gitano, la canción One more cup of coffeee, etc)-el pañuelo en su pelo en la gira del 75/76, el discazo Blood on the Tracks, La canción Sara. Pero hay mas: una vez que Sara se divorció de Bob (ya era insoportable), los 4 siguientes discos comienzan por S: Strreet legal, Slow Train Coming, Saved; Shot of Love. Y justo cambió la S de Sara por el título Infidels (INFIELES, por ser infiel le dejó Sara, sobre todo....)(ver contraportada de Infidels) , cuando estuvieron a punto de reconciliarse, incluso Bob le pidió matrimonio en 1983 de nuevo. Y así ................ esto es sólo un 1% de las cosas que descubres en el Universo complicado y fascinante de Bob......Gracias, de nuevo.
JAVIER FUENTES No puedo decir más que me impresionas. Mi admiración por Bob Dylan pensaba que había sido mucha hasta que llegas tú y me veo a la altura del barro jaja. Gracias, me encanta saber que también hay gente como tú :D
Interesting. I love Emmylou; incl her contributions to Desire, here. Bob made the right decision to rerecord, though, IMO. What he ultimately released so much edgier, w/ due pace.
Thanks for posting Mike, this is great! Bob did make a better version after this one with Ronee Blakley, but its great to hear how a song developed. Especially this masterpiece.
he had to rerecord it because columbia was afraid of getting sued because he has lyrics about the 2 dumb asses robbing the bar and there was no proof that they really did
You are right! In addiction, in the last minute, Bob changed Arthur Dexter Bradley and "robbing the bodies" for "a man named Bello" (he still doesn´t say Alfred ) and "I was only robbing the register..." Thanks.
is dylan using a vox ac30 or a fender twin here? is that a gibson les paul or fender strat? i've got to get this tone somehow? which effects pedal is that? tremolo? korg? vow!

Love this. Emmylou adds such a nice backing and the slower tempo shows how Dylan always changed things around. Thanks for sharing.
I used to know every word to this song about 20 yrs ago. :)
As a lifelong lover of Dylan's music, I am so grateful to you guys that post stuff like this that I would have otherwise never heard. in this case, Mike Beerly. Thanks Mike!
+Bob Affolter, you're very welcome!
Mike Beerley thank you mike top class.
You're most welcome, Allan. Let's hope Sony doesn't shut me down.
wow. what a version. this song gets better every time
Nobel Prize ! Bravo !
The drums is fantastic
Exactly what I was thinking.
I think the poets call it 'enjambment.' and Dylan uses it wonderfully in both versions of this masterpiece. Oh, and Emmylou is extraordinary as always.
Emmylou is Sweet, she gives to this song a melody....really feels like she would give serenity to the words. I love Emmylou, and Bob, f course
What an amazing version of this song! so overwhelmingly gut wrenching real.... STILL so gut wrenchingly real in our world.
Did some research on Wiki...
The lyrics of this version were rewritten to avoid a possible
lawsuit.
This is really a document.
TY for sharing this, Mike.

+Richie Shaw, you're very welcome. So sorry about your Desire Sessions being removed. I'm still trying to get an uncompromised version of Joey.
would love to hear that one too .. where did you get this strange and rare song of hurricane ??? its amazing ..

My God what a classic. Better than like a rolling stone :))))

You are most welcome, Lilia. Best regards from The US of A!
Thanks! I lived in the USA for a while, way back when my kids were very young!!
Fantastic version, Mike. Love hearing these early takes by The Master. One of Bob's best. Sounds fucking great. Many thanks.

I absolutely LOVE this version. It comes across as matter of fact and is sung beautifully. Thanks for posting this. It's made my day. xx

Yes, precious. Congratulations from Brazil too.
Thanks for this treasure. Greetings from Argentina.
You're welcome. Greetings from the U.S.A.
Dylan, the best ever !!
wonderful post...love those drums
Indeed a alternative version. I like both this version and the album version. Don't know which one I prefer
The album version was the right choice. Faster tempo and more urgency to the subject of the message.
This is really great, thanks for posting
You're welcome, Maryn Lally.
only marvelous. my mind travelling on this beatufull song. Congratulations from brazil
thank you for uploading, Mike!
and for the info about Emmylou singing,
great version, with alternate lyrics
and everything... ;)
+Michl Mayr, you're very welcome. Glad you appreciate it... ;)
amazing to hear this.
Très jolie version de ce morceau culte. Evidemment, si déjà on adore Emmylou, alors...
Great find , I really like this version
this was supposed to be the orginal version but he had to rerecord it because he calls out the 2 dip shits that robbed the bar and columbia was afraid of getting sued so he had to record it with out those lyrics
Can't believe they didn't choose this take for the album version! :)

wow. not taking anything away from the version that was on the album, but this one---it's very powerful and moving and textured, never heard it before, it sure sounds good
couldn't help but make me feel ashamed
to live in a land where justice is a game
now all the criminals in their coats and ties
are free to drink martinis and to watch the sunrise
Right! In the las minute he changed "Robbing the bodies" for " Iwas only robbing the register...". Thanks
And he also change "Arthur Dexter Bradley" for "a man named Bello (Alfred Bello)
this is wonderful
Thanks
+Sharon Holland, you're welcome.
liseting this in 2016 never get enough
Best protest song ever.
Terry Jaram.. ohio by Neil Young is also pretty good!
More the best lyrical songs of all time
Long ago there was an epic Dylan version of the song She acts like we never met' on RUclips. The track feels a little like this one. I searched many times here but never found it since 2013. Anyone?
Trump president !... At least America has Dylan, thanks God !
great Scarlet fantastico Bobby
brilliant.. thanks for posting this absolute gem.. thank you mike
You're most welcome, Toxic ✌
Mike Beerley 👍☺
fantastic take
Why we needed a weatherman. Thank you, Bob and Sweden.
I think this version is better than the "original" recorded in "Desire" (1975). Very good version!
Honestly, This makes it sad...One of The most real "Based on true events." Ever! It is a great sad story.
From the mystical album, Desire. He has had many more great songs, but never again a masterpiece of an album like this one.
Great ! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Reggie.
Amazing.
GREAT!!!
Fenômeno !
Fantastic - thanks so much for sharing this!

I tried that hat on once. I had the opportunity to grab it but I let Bob keep it.
So much better than the album version. Don't know why he didn't use this take.
he had to rerecord it because columbia was afraid of getting sued because he has lyrics about the 2 dumb asses robbing the bar and there was no proof that they really did
Andrew Beers Oh. Interesting.
You are right! In addiction, in the last minute, Bob changed Arthur Dexter Bradley and "robbing the bodies" for "a man named Bello" (he still doesn´t say Alfred ) and "I was only robbing the register..." Thanks.
Eu so queria entender porque nao tem o álbum inteiro para se ouvir....
un ange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont suppose you or anyone else knows where to find the alternative take of oh sister that ends with emmylou saying she fucked it up?
Sorry, now you've got me very interested. And so the hunt begins!
and he gain Nobel
The Guardians MC favorite song, dedicated to Pecos!
Bob : We all love you !
