    Dylan's words, Jerry's playing, or Jerry's singing - any of the 3 can take you from heartbreak & that aching in the pit of the stomach feeling to the euphoria of redemption in a matter of 2 frickin bars. Words of despair become enlightening. A weeping guitar becomes rich in hope. A broken verse becomes a hallelujah. They must've picked that up in a theory class, right? RIGHT? How the f? Thankfully recorded immortals, thank you.

    "Visions Of Johanna"
    Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
    We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it
    And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
    Lights flicker from the opposite loft
    In this room the heat pipes just cough
    The country music station plays soft
    But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
    Just Louise and her lover so entwined
    And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind.
    In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
    And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-train
    We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
    Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
    Louise she's all right she's just near
    She's delicate and seems like the mirror
    But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
    That Johanna's not here
    The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face
    Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place.
    Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
    He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
    And when bringing her name up
    He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
    He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
    Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
    Oh, how can I explain ?
    It's so hard to get on
    And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn.
    Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
    Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
    But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
    You can tell by the way she smiles
    See the primitive wallflower frieze
    When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
    Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
    I can't find my knees."
    Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
    But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.
    The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
    Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him."
    But like Louise always says
    "Ya can't look at much, can ya man."
    As she, herself prepares for him
    And Madonna, she still has not showed
    We see this empty cage now corrode
    Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
    The fiddler, he now steps to the road
    He writes everything's been returned which was owed
    On the back of the fish truck that loads
    While my conscience explodes
    The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
    And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

    This has always been my favorite Jerry cover of Dylan. It's just such a special tune to begin with--such cool lyrics. There's a message in this song. I've never 100% figured it out, and that's kinda what makes it so fun. When you take Dylan's lyric and sprinkle Jerry on it...it makes for a very cool and very special moment. I especially dig the way Jerry slows it down a bit, and throws such a tasty solo over it. Brilliant!

      I mean, there can't be a better song than VOJ. Every verse is topped by an ever better one, it's Dylan's masterpiece. I mean, every single line can launch you into a spiral. The point is that I can't explain this song at all. But throw Jerry into it, you have to listen to all 16 mins.

    • @rddavies
      @rddavies 3 года назад +1

      I feel like this is Dylan's version of Sartre's No Exit or Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Some sort of existential holding pattern that is at once incredibly confining but at the same time made incredibly beautiful by the artist and their art.

    ¿No es como la noche para jugar trucos cuando estás tratando de estar tan callado?
    Nos sentamos aquí varados, aunque todos estamos haciendo todo lo posible para negarlo.
    Y Louise sostiene un puñado de lluvia, tentándote a desafiarlo
    Las luces parpadean desde el desván opuesto
    En esta habitación, las tuberías de calor solo tosen
    La estación de música country suena suave
    Pero no hay nada, realmente nada que apagar
    Solo Louise y su amante tan entrelazados
    Y estas visiones de Johanna que conquistan mi mente
    En el lote baldío donde las damas juegan al farol del ciego con el llavero
    Y las chicas de toda la noche susurran sobre escapadas en el tren "D"
    Podemos escuchar al vigilante nocturno encender su linterna
    Preguntarse si es él o ellos los que están locos
    Louise, ella está bien, solo está cerca
    Ella es delicada y parece el espejo.
    Pero ella lo hace todo demasiado conciso y demasiado claro.
    Que Johanna no está aquí
    El fantasma de la 'electricidad aúlla en los huesos de su rostro
    Donde estas visiones de Johanna ahora han tomado mi lugar
    Ahora, niño perdido, se toma a sí mismo tan en serio
    Se jacta de su miseria, le gusta vivir peligrosamente
    Y al mencionar su nombre
    Me habla de un beso de despedida
    Seguro que tiene mucho descaro para ser tan inútil y todo eso.
    Murmurando una pequeña charla en la pared mientras estoy en el pasillo
    ¿Como puedo explicar?
    es tan dificil seguir adelante
    Y estas visiones de Johanna, me mantuvieron despierto más allá del amanecer
    Dentro de los museos, el infinito sube a prueba
    Las voces hacen eco así es como debe ser la salvación después de un tiempo
    Pero Mona Lisa debe haber tenido la melancolía de la carretera
    Se nota por la forma en que sonríe
    Ver la congelación primitivo alhelí
    Cuando todas las mujeres con cara de gelatina estornudan
    Escuche al del bigote decir: "Por Dios, no puedo encontrar mis rodillas"
    Oh, joyas y binoculares cuelgan de la cabeza de la mula
    Pero estas visiones de Johanna, hacen que todo parezca tan cruel
    El vendedor ambulante ahora habla con la condesa que finge cuidarlo.
    Diciendo, "Dígame alguien que no sea un parásito y saldré y rezaré por él"
    Pero como Louise siempre dice
    "No puedes mirar mucho, ¿verdad, hombre?"
    Mientras ella misma se prepara para él
    Y Madonna, todavía no ha aparecido
    Vemos esta jaula vacía ahora corroerse
    Donde su capa del escenario una vez fluyó
    El violinista, ahora camina hacia la carretera.
    Escribe que se ha devuelto todo lo que se debía
    En la parte trasera del camión de pescado que carga
    Mientras mi conciencia explota
    Las armónicas tocan las llaves maestras y la lluvia
    Y estas visiones de Johanna son ahora todo lo que queda

      I can't find my knees."
      Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
      But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.
      The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
      Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him."
      But like Louise always says
      "Ya can't look at much, can ya man."
      As she, herself prepares for him
      And Madonna, she still has not showed
      We see this empty cage now corrode
      Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
      The fiddler, he now steps to the road
      He writes everything's been returned which was owed
      On the back of the fish truck that loads
      While my conscience explodes
      The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
      And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.

      My oh my did he ever belt that out. From the very depths of his aching soul too. Nothing can ever top that version. Neither this one, nor Dylan’s very own epic ‘66 live version from Sheffield, England. Jerry Bear dug deep down for that one that night. Glad you heard it live. I woulda wept like an infant. We all knew the end was near. He wore it all over his face. Some of the saddest days I’ve ever lived through. If Jerry hadn’t passed then I very well might have from my own heroin addiction. I didn’t want to end up like him. So, many years after ‘95 I finally cleaned up myself. I sincerely thank Jerry as one of the people who helped me through it. God I miss the guy!

He had a short marriage after he divorced Carolyn and lived with young wife and their child in Marinwood which is close to Novato where we lived and where Mickey Hart had a ranch where the Grateful Dead had a studio a few miles from us. I think Bob Weir lived in Mill Valley but was in Novato frequently to work at their studio . Our daughters worked at Jack in the Box in S. Novato in the early to mid 1980s next to Marinwood where Jerry came thru the drive thru on his motorcycle regularly and came inside to order once when our younger daughter was working there and waited on him, but didn't know who he was until another waitress told her. He was always in our local news. True next door neighbors around 1990 who you may have not heard of was Eric Martin, who had played backup for Journey when their group was called 415 before called The Eric Martin Band.. Eric and his wife and Dave Meniketti and another member lived next door to us. Some housemates formed group called Y & T who played some street concerts right on our block.

    "When I paint my masterpiece(s)." Yes, both Bob Dylan and Jerry Garcia have done so here. First, lyrics that include lines like "she's delicate, and seems like the mirror" (of so many, and even just so in this song alone), indicate that Bob Dylan is light-years ahead of all other songwriters. Next: the way Jerry just steps to the plate, and masterfully strings out the flow of both the lyrics and song . . . is brilliant. I'm 'pressing on' for more Jerry covers of Bob.
