I've been a Dylan fan since 1964. He helped raised me though he never knew it...or me. It is wonderful to see him interact with a host of younger artists now which also helps to dispel his unwarranted legacy of being "hermit-like". May I also say, with nothing but love and good will as my intention, that he sure knows how to treat a lady.
she was phenomenal here. u could count on one hand the singers in the world that could have bounced off of bobs style and made this sound smooth. she was absolutely perfect
Norah Jones is not afraid to sing with Bob. Dangerous musical experience ! Because with Dylan, everything is possible, man ! The best end the worst. Here it works quite well between the young girl dnd the old icon. Congratulations Norah !
Dylan enjoyed performing with her here. It's obvious in the way he works with her. And he should have enjoyed the experience: she has a gorgeous voice, and she uses it perfectly here. And the steel player? Brilliant. And the song overall: just a great new version of it: laid back, contemplative, yet lovely.
Fantastic version and tribute to The Band, and to all who appreciate the brilliance that is "Bob". Norah does a perfect accompaniment to Bob, which is not easy to do. Outstanding!
+Songpoets For my money, Richard Manuel made this song his own. I just wish there was more of his collaborations with Dylan to be found. I love The Band, and Dylan... they made some of the best rock n roll that will ever be heard anywhere.

Bobby, if i could tell you in person I would. I have always and will always love to watch and hear you get your groove on. I love to watch and hear you inspire the light in others. When you said listening to Woodie Guthrie could show a person how to live in this world, it made perfect sense to me. It 's you and Woodie that have brought a calm, compassionate, lyrical sense of humor to this life for me. It's not always exactly what you sing, but sometimes. And it's not always the way that you sing it, but it is many times. When the ship is off course for me and the stars are dim, the sound of your heart in your voice is a shelter in the storm. When seas are calm and ocean waves are dappled by the setting sun you've put me on the shoulders of giants, lifted me up to walk freely among the stars. And on this earth, at peace in the city streets. Personally I think there is no magic cure to find in an autograph. I'd rather ignore labels, sports teams and celebrities all together. I am though unapologetically grateful, as a fan, to have taken breath and watched a rising sun with the spirit of Bob Dylan alive and in the air. For me, you've made the world a better place. The world, Mr Dylan. Forever young Zimmy. Big Love
Girl could sing pretty much anything and sound like an angel dropped down from heaven especially to sing any song that's given to her on any particular day..
Nora was a great choice to sing a duet with Dylan because she's a jazz singer and because of that she is very flexible with the varied pacing of Dylan's vocalizations. I lthought she did a great job working with and around him. Great duet. Thanks for posting.
Love this song. Lifetime fan of BD (I am 66) since 17. Never heard of NJ but have heard of her father. She did a great job with this and has a lovely voice. Its wonderful how BD adapts. Duquescane Whistle is another great song by BD.
Oh Norah is SO Lucky to be singing and standing with DYLAN. If I was pretty like Norah and could sing like Norah, and got that chance....I would have stood closer and KISSED HIM!!!! I am so in love with BOB!
For those lacking respect in Bob's vocals, Rolling Stone listed him as, I think, the THIRD most influential vocalist of the century. Grating to some early on, he worked his craft well. Find Blind Willie McTell for evidence to that. Today he works with what he has.
mark marshall Yeah your opinion defintley outweighs nearly all major artists who consider Dylan their predominate influence. Your opinion carries a lot of weight. Oh, that's right, nobody cares what you think.
stevefolk56 nah i think most would agree Dylan didn't have much to work with in terms of vocal range. Artists consider Dylan highly influential as a songwriter but often times cover versions of Dylan songs are superior to the original.
I loved the upload. For what it's worth, I just saw Dylan for the seventh and final time. He's still giving it his best effort, but his voice now makes this sound smooth.
+John Carey For example? Dylan does have a reputation of frequently changing his phrasing, which certainly makes it difficult for someone performing a duet with him to follow. Nevertheless, most of the duets with Dylan I have heard are pretty good (e.g. Joan Baez on the Rolling Thunder Live Album)
You're right about that. I saw a few of the Dylan Simon ones - yikes. I think it is a reflection of whether Dylan is motivated for the duet. By the way, the duet with Norah Jones is just about my favorite
Not so sure she was nervous. Most likely she was invited to perform without any rehearsal, and yup she worked around his vocal pretty well as it was very much the only option. When Bobby invites you to perform, you say YES and just show up!!! And that's what you get.
I used to play this on guitar years ago. My harmonizer was easier to work with than Dylan is, he has his own unique style. Add Norah Jones to a song, and it's like pouring honey over your dinner.
Bob Dylan and Norah Jones - I Shall Be Released (Live) ruclips.net/video/FySFa6H7w-M/видео.html "I Shall Be Released" is a 1967 song written by Bob Dylan, strongly influenced by gospel music, combining imagery of religious redemption, or release from sin, with implied literal release from prison. The Band recorded the first officially released version of the song for their 1968 debut album, Music from Big Pink, with Richard Manuel singing lead vocals, and Rick Danko and Levon Helm harmonizing in the chorus. The song was also performed near the end of the Band's 1976 farewell concert, The Last Waltz, in which all the night's performers (with the exception of Muddy Waters) plus Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood appeared on the same stage. Additional live recordings by the Band were included on the 1974 concert album Before the Flood and the 2001 expanded CD reissue of Rock of Ages. Dylan recorded two primary versions. The first recording was made in collaboration with the Band during the "basement tapes" sessions in 1967, and eventually released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 in 1991. (A remixed version of this 1967 take was rereleased, along with a preliminary take, on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete in 2014.) Of the initial demo, Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner had said, "Curiously enough the music in this song and the high pleading sound of Dylan's voice reminds one of the Bee Gees." Dylan recorded the song a second time (with a significantly different arrangement and altered lyrics, and accompanied by Happy Traum) in 1971, releasing this new version on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II.
I often think of the 2437 university professors and literary critics who have claimed in the last 2 decades " Its not probable that William Shakespeare wrote all the plays ,poems and sonnets attributed to his name" One reason, they aren't in a similar vein, the vast amount of material composed is too much for one man in a lifetime, (and such). Then I remember being 15 years old in 1968 and this album came out "Nashville Skyline" by Bob Dylan. It was on the heels of "John Wesley Harding " album. The folk song Hootenany lovers were shocked by John Wesley Harding but totally pissed by this "Nashville Skyline " album. It was 2 in a row with no protest songs. Today we can see the massive amount of songs composed and even more time just rambling on stage with some artist or another for 5 decades. www.bobdylan.com/us/albums/chronological I'll bet in 100 years the professors will claim that "Bob Dylan and Robert Zimmerman were two separate people. Its assumed today that each composed 25% of the music attributed to 'Bob Dylan' and most probable that at least 4 more artist composers wrote the remaining 50% of the songs in Bob Dylan's name."
The band does this really good w/him. Of course they were his band. Nora's version of Townes Van Zandts "Loretta" w/Gillian Welch and David Rawlings is worth hearing. Bob's a very good song writer Towne's is the consummate song writer.
I've been a Dylan fan since 1964. He helped raised me though he never knew it...or me. It is wonderful to see him interact with a host of younger artists now which also helps to dispel his unwarranted legacy of being "hermit-like". May I also say, with nothing but love and good will as my intention, that he sure knows how to treat a lady.
they have some stage chemistry i tell you that much, fantastic duet 👏
Love Nora doing Dylan covers!!
The affection and respect between these two is palpable.
Bob & Ravi's little-girl; quite th twosome...
she was phenomenal here. u could count on one hand the singers in the world that could have bounced off of bobs style and made this sound smooth. she was absolutely perfect
Nora Jones and Bob Dylan sing together so Very Well!!!
Norah Jones is not afraid to sing with Bob. Dangerous musical experience ! Because with Dylan, everything is possible, man ! The best end the worst. Here it works quite well between the young girl dnd the old icon. Congratulations Norah !

And the song overall: just a great new version of it: laid back, contemplative, yet lovely.
Two of my favorite artists; given the success of this collaboration, would welcome more!
Bob Dylan and Norah Jones splendid splendid!
I could listen to either one sing anything.
Wow!! Norah's sang with so many legends.. And Bob is so incredibly soulful.. -3
Thank you Bob Dylan! You always touch me deeply!
Rejoice when the Lord comes He gonna set us free!!
This is beyond words..has brought me to tears listening to this...
NJ is so ridiculously beautiful. Great singer and musician, and of course Mr. bOB DYLAN
norah does great here- sings in kind of reverence to BD, yet adds to this classic. in every way what a voice. great version. well done
Fantastic version and tribute to The Band, and to all who appreciate the brilliance that is "Bob". Norah does a perfect accompaniment to Bob, which is not easy to do. Outstanding!
+Songpoets Dylan wrote the song, not the band
I know he did, my friend. I just meant their performance of the song and the fact that they are the ones that made the song as big as it has become.
+Songpoets For my money, Richard Manuel made this song his own. I just wish there was more of his collaborations with Dylan to be found. I love The Band, and Dylan... they made some of the best rock n roll that will ever be heard anywhere.
I have heard band members say he just takes off and you need to follow. He may change the tempo, hell even the words. She did great!
Two of my favorites singing one of my favorite songs. Norah can sing with anyone. It goes in my favorite list.
Not so easy singing with Bob, great song! Bob loves sincere hugs ❤❤❤❤
The MASTER and beautiful Norah -- wow!!
Really liked this couple.
I love this song
on ne s'en lassera pas d'une aussi belle et mystérieuse chanson ( chargée de sens ),merci Bob , merci Nora !!

BEAUTIFULLLLL
very nice, Norah Jones' polished voice and Bob's cranky and cracky voice:)
Girl could sing pretty much anything and sound like an angel dropped down from heaven especially to sing any song that's given to her on any particular day..
the Lord's work is done
Nora was a great choice to sing a duet with Dylan because she's a jazz singer and because of that she is very flexible with the varied pacing of Dylan's vocalizations. I lthought she did a great job working with and around him. Great duet. Thanks for posting.
Simplemente genial . Gran interpretación del dúo
What a great job. Didn't expect that the two voices would work so well together.
Absolutely. I didn't even realise she has a good voice, till I saw this, or rather, heard it.
I never realized Bob played piano that well...so cool that he's still performing...Norah is so hot in so many ways!
What a Beautiful song!
Only Ravi Shankar's daughter can stand up next to Dylan and sing along! Love you Bob! Love you Norah-- Your daddy would be so proud!!!
Genius does recognize Genius.
thanks Bob... great
Excellent steel guitar by Don Herron
Beauty and the Beast ! Wonderful...
Lovely. Well done Norah for managing to keep in sync with him. Thanks for post.
Superb Bob&Norah! Superb
Lovely duet.
so many levels of sweetness to this one
bob's piano playing is awesome!!! as is this classic song only he could write...
Lovely surprise! I love this song... and I did not know that Norah Jones is Ravi Shankar's daughter! My respect!!
Beautiful!
I love this
Me too!
Love this song. Lifetime fan of BD (I am 66) since 17. Never heard of NJ but have heard of her father. She did a great job with this and has a lovely voice. Its wonderful how BD adapts. Duquescane Whistle is another great song by BD.
Oh this is cute! Not easy to sing along with Bobby but Nora does it well and they sound surprisingly good together.
once in life time! What a great collaboration!!
What can I say--I like it.
It's great!
bob is always with his style. none can follow his style.
Norah was stellar here. Made Dylan sound epic.
Oh Norah is SO Lucky to be singing and standing with DYLAN. If I was pretty like Norah and could sing like Norah, and got that chance....I would have stood closer and KISSED HIM!!!! I am so in love with BOB!

'I don't believe in Zimmerman"-John Lennon
mark marshall
lol Lennon was a hypocrite..if u want to critique Dylan that's fine...but pick someone better than Lennon.
Perfect...
Norah those moves at 2:20. I love you
Omg norah jones... her voice... Dammmn gooddd...
🎶💚More💜Then💛Beautiful
❤️Amazing💙Music😍.🎶

I loved the upload. For what it's worth, I just saw Dylan for the seventh and final time. He's still giving it his best effort, but his voice now makes this sound smooth.
So cool ...
yea.............soooo good
Definitely a must for My Eulogy.
Great Duet!
the greatest song writer ever eith the most beautiful woman ever ,heaven
Duets with Dylan are usually a real disaster. Not this time. Smart, terrific!
+John Carey For example? Dylan does have a reputation of frequently changing his phrasing, which certainly makes it difficult for someone performing a duet with him to follow. Nevertheless, most of the duets with Dylan I have heard are pretty good (e.g. Joan Baez on the Rolling Thunder Live Album)
Yeah, you're right about those, John. I guess I was thinking of more recent things -- Willie N. and Paul Simon.
You're right about that. I saw a few of the Dylan Simon ones - yikes. I think it is a reflection of whether Dylan is motivated for the duet. By the way, the duet with Norah Jones is just about my favorite
+John Carey i got that, but the reason is because this version is really great...
At one of his concerts in the 90's when Stevie Nicks came out sang this with him...
love it!
She really did! It was so much more calmer and soft.
I love pleasant, soft, sensual low female vocals!
Uncle Bob; I can hardly believe you wearing dat hat
Norah sings so sweet unto falling in love -
North, South,
Aaahhhh blissfully oriented
Adore ❤
wonderful........''
Bob and Norah are good together. Great song.
Great!
sweet sounds
AWESOME
Not so sure she was nervous. Most likely she was invited to perform without any rehearsal, and yup she worked around his vocal pretty well as it was very much the only option. When Bobby invites you to perform, you say YES and just show up!!! And that's what you get.
The only duet Dylan didn't screw around with was the one with Cash. He played it straight because he respected Cash a great deal.
The Master!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love him
I love Bob Dylan. But this rendition of his, well.... hmmm. Norah Jones, very easy on the eyes lol.
That sounded great very nice
wow, wish i had been there!
My God. A great but so different version of an already great song.
WOW!
I used to play this on guitar years ago. My harmonizer was easier to work with than Dylan is, he has his own unique style.
Add Norah Jones to a song, and it's like pouring honey over your dinner.
just kewl.....way kewl
That vibe and dance especially 2:15-2:22 yeah Norah you it do me !
Great tunage. Mrs. L.
This is from an Amazon anniversary concert broadcasted through the internet in 2005
I love Dylan and love you more Norah :)
saudoso Bob
god, she was nervous, but well, as should anyone!
Nervous like what the.. , lol

Poor Norah,,, can you imagine trying to duet with Dylan, you have no idea in hell where he's going.
