Tom Thumb Blues / Bill Kirchen / 3-28-13

This could be one of the best versions of this song I have ever seen.Bill Kirchen is a big Bob Dylan fan and I think any fan of either performer would agree that this video will raise the hair on the back of your neck make you quit your job and get on tour !
This is from the Turning Point in Piermont NY a great place to see a show.
March 28, 2013 look for Bill in your neck of the woods www.billkirchen.com for details

...I'd never heard of Dylan until I got to Germany with the Army in November 1971...my best buddy had Dylan's Greatest Hits (IIRC Vol 2) I listened to the LP until it was practically worn out and memorized each song - I'd drink too much and croak out Dylan at 0300 hrs on his porch in the town of Burgburnheim and the lights in the houses on his street would come on - Germans tired of hearing a GI who'd had too much wine...it was timed for him - or his wife - to grab me by the collar and drag me inside...this is one of those songs I still remember at the age of 72 and 50 years later...

He nails it pretty much everytime. Textbook lesson on how to pace out a pretty epic tune.. great performance.

[@fezpaul]

Sorry Jimi, this is the best Dylan cover ever.

Goosebumps!

Superb!

[@GITZIT2112]

EPIC!

[@gr8tfulded]

Why I do believe he nailed it that time. And it's Easter time too.

[@77hodag]

Beautiful solos! Nice bass work, too!

Just love the tip of the hat to Charlie McCoy's guitar part in Desolation Row.

[@shadowlawn1986]

Very Nice, I enjoyed that. Looking forward to his show in baltimore Dec 5th

Outstanding!!

When it was decided how many frets and strings a guitar would have, they must have envisioned Bill Kirchen playing this song on one?

[@srhcb1]

This could be Dylan's favorite version of the song?

[@tuckerised]

Fuck me - I know Glen Campbell was good but this guy!! Imagine the both of them together!!!

[@russjalichandra5491]

Didn't know Wooden Allen can play guitar so well!

[@hyndmanstrider79]

Woody Allen sings...?

[@Garo48]

Too bad about the drummer though...

[@JimmyDean404]

What happened to him?

[@alexreay4164]

Bill Kirchen is fantastic but that drummer is awful
