This rare version of "The McKenzie Tapes " makes me weep hearing a classical song I adore called "The House of The Rising Sun". Bob brings the real issues to life. I consider his works to be buried treasures of the Deep South. His voice is a metaphysical transformation and a rare form of beauty in sorrow.The fully awakened soul sways by the hurricane lamp.This is the softer version of Dante's Inferno. One masterpiece begets another.Tip your hats ladies and gentlemen for the youthful wisdom of "All life is a stage". Bobbie is the best minstrel we shall ever to be graced by in this century. Once you have witnessed the absolute best, you shall never ever compromise."A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" is more beautiful than a thousand rain drops glistening in a perfect rainbow emerging after a warm downfall in a midsummer maiden's dreamy afternoon.
Such a priviledge to hear this version of 'Hard Rain's' - sadly the lyrics are everybit as relevant now as they were back then in 1962. A true masterpiece.
i hope you are feeling better Susan, i cannot imagine your pain, i can only symphatize by saying that my grandmother passed away 2 years ago, spent most of my still young years with her daily, and I can feel the pain transform into a feeling of warmth knowing she is happy somewhere and that I will see her after I live every day to the fullest for her till the end of my life I know your son would want the same for you.
I have the bootlegs of many of your postings and it's good to know that younger folks growing up today can now easily access the creative trajectory of this great artistic genius.
Had to work on finding the records unless you went to the city back in those mysterious daze. May be a short film on late night PBS, that stuck deep in your craw, so you craved more of the healthy addiction, glad I got hooked. PS: These are exceptional showcase examples of the Dylan experience, much grateful appreciated! That ropey Bass is the ancient chime.
Was it a really good read & did you learn anything new about Bob you didn't already know? I've not heard of it. Thank you God bless ✨🕯️ ✨ Ps: reread your comment. It's apparently a good book - U described it as excellent !!! Just saw it's written by Clinton Heyland - heard many interviews he did on Dylan..
I remember those Bootleg albums. They sound pretty good. God knows where they came from. It shows what a fantastic repertoire he had. He was the best songwriter of the time. I was almost busted having one of those bootlegs played on the radio. It had John Birch Society Blues on it. It later surfaced on an official Bootleg by Sony. The times are a changin 🙂
Great quality! Thanks for posting. I have been collecting TMOQ vinyl Dylan boots since the mid-70s, pretty much my favorite being "Blind Boy Grunt" or sometimes called "The Kindest Cut". Different versions here that I've never heard. Ranks right up there with the best of his bootlegs. Probably the most laid-back approach to A Hard Rain that I know of. Great to hear the phone ringing in the background on a couple tracks, adds to the authenticity of a home recording. "I Rode Out One Morning" I don't believe I've ever seen or heard at all. Great alternate cover shot from "The Freewheelin". Thanks again!
Oh my Friend that's really speechless! What a quality for a really Hystorycal tape & true treasure of the twentieth century! No words can explain the joy & happiness of a such listening! Another Little step forward for you Swingin' / a big step for humanity! Chapeau Chapeau Chapeau!👍👏🌈😎😉💓💓😉✌️🍾🥛
Wow this is so great thanks for such a rare delight!!! I am going to enjoy listening to this so much!!! Just finished listening to the heart wrenching Emmett Till it is hard to believe this is still a social and moral battle. Thanks also for all your notes and song list! ❤️👏🏻😎
There was a sterling bootleg tape stall at Camden Lock, in the 80's. I bought this from that stall . The time gulf seemed massive, then. Now it all feels like a split second despite the void having more than doubled. There is only one electron
Dylan own the folk scene, with his harp, and guitar and his voice he did well...what set him so far apart was his song writing...Bob Dylan just keeps on keeping on
I don’t understand why he didn’t sing the line „I heard the sound of a person who cried he was human“ in the studio recording of „A Hard Rain‘s a gonna fall“. It‘s without a doubt one of the best lines ever written (in my opinion)
@@roaring_angels lolll i had to see what you meant. cannibal? idk. total douche? likely...his grandson pablo dylan is also making some terrible terrible music. oh well, bob's great
So grand especially his guitarplay, 2nd song! Lovely❣️💥💫 ‘House of the Rising Sun’ great too!! Thanks Swingin’, do wish you a lot of 🎶swingin’ moments and enjoyments this new year! Thanks Dylan🌺❤️🌹🌞👌
I love the 7th track, which I hadn't come across before, but I was fairly sure it wasn't See that my grave is kept clean, which I do remember from way back, so I looked up some of the words and found out that it's The ballad of Donald White.
WOW....The version of Hard Rain is off the charts good!! The dude is about 22 when he wrote THIS SONG...are you kidding me? He sounds about 50 singin it....just awesome....
Love and love these. I had bought in 1972 and 1973, about eight of these 'Trade Mark o f Quality' Records. A few in KC. and the rest in Portland Oregon ~ {as a young young man ` }.
Hey SP, in any of these 'home' tapes, is there much action between the songs? Can you get a sense of the energy? Amazement? Clapping? Is there much talking? Would also love to hear the Davey Moore intro from the halloween concert if you had it? "This is a song about a boxer". Love to try and get a sense of his immediate surroundings & personality during those breakthrough years. Thanks for all you do.
Alo my frend tsnkd 4 dis incredibly recordings i was born 71 nit ling after the voice of this man start rumbling in my heres my dad was a aficionado and i become a lover ov is material special the erly bluse woody Guthrie respect CICCIO IMPERIALE
Hey Swingin' Pig, Is House of the Rising Sun played at normal speed? Peter Sugarman has the song at a slightly higher pitch. Want to try and play it, mimic the recording and all. Thanks for the upload, this is a crucial channel.
Any place we can find the MacKenzie Tape version of See That My Grave Is Kept Clean? Dylan is quoted somewhere later as saying he "no longer sang the song that way," preferring to sing it (I presume) w/Blind Lemon Jefferson's (the original composer) lyrics, although what Dylan sings here also sounds like a completely different song. I prefer this version.
C'est curieux, Dylan interprète The house of the rising sun avec les arrangements d'origine, contrairement à sa version sur son premier disque, où il reprend les arrangements de Dave Van Ronk et en fait la première version "moderne" de cette chanson, avant qu'elle soit reprise par The Animals, Nina Simone etc... Une autre curiosité est la Ballad of Donald White, une des chansons les plus intéressante de ses débuts. Donald White est un prisonnier qui explique qu'il préfère être en prison que devoir affronter les dangers de la société.
I like this original Dylan the best. Raw & real!!! But he had to evolve out this. Musicality he had hit a plateau. He had to go on to something different.

That's how poetry works. Beyond time, space and minds.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! I love the sound of all of this that my words can't express.
I agree - but still there's no ledge in the privi !
And sadly people are as lost now as they were then.
Thank ubob 4 helping me try 2 live again since my sons passing

I'm reading the excellent "The Double Life of Bob Dylan" just out which references this tape and other early gems. Thanks for posting!
I just finished readin it...
Was it a really good read & did you learn anything new about Bob you didn't already know?
I've not heard of it.
Thank you
God bless ✨🕯️ ✨
Ps: reread your comment. It's apparently a good book - U described it as excellent !!!
Just saw it's written by Clinton Heyland - heard many interviews he did on Dylan..
Dude was singing and playing his heart out before he could halfway tune his guitar.
Those ropey bass lines and twang draw cover.
I remember those Bootleg albums. They sound pretty good. God knows where they came from. It shows what a fantastic repertoire he had. He was the best songwriter of the time.
I was almost busted having one of those bootlegs played on the radio. It had John Birch Society Blues on it. It later surfaced on an official Bootleg by Sony. The times are a changin 🙂

It’s fantastic to hear the guitar so clearly
You are so right! These are crystal clear! Interesting story about bootlegging. Thanks a bunch for the upload Swingin'🐷!

And That Is?👽
what joy to listen this diamond thanks again and good week end ♥♥♥
Carries me away to the pinnacle of humanity every time, thank you!
Thanks for posting, including the description of the history of these recordings.
Beautiful performances by young Bobby. Greetings from Argentina.
Rare find, for me, Love Bob D.💕💗❤️, thank you 🙏😍
Dylan own the folk scene, with his harp, and guitar and his voice he did well...what set him so far apart was his song writing...Bob Dylan just keeps on keeping on
Second only to Phil Ochs, in my own personal estimation!
I heard the sound of a person who cried he was human.
Incredible! Thank you!
I don’t understand why he didn’t sing the line „I heard the sound of a person who cried he was human“ in the studio recording of „A Hard Rain‘s a gonna fall“. It‘s without a doubt one of the best lines ever written (in my opinion)
Too obvious for him
there is something utterly, utterly otherworldly about this chap. an alien.
Jimbo do you think he is proof that Satan exists? Where else did that come from? His grandson Levi is a cannibal from what I've seen on Instagram.
@@roaring_angels lolll i had to see what you meant. cannibal? idk. total douche? likely...his grandson pablo dylan is also making some terrible terrible music. oh well, bob's great
Thank you swingin' pig you're a Legend
Bowie was right. Bob's voice is sand and glue
in the best way possible
A Rising Sun. Thanks for sharing.
After Bob's 1974 tour , some tiny label released these songs with a photo of Bob on the cover with his Telecaster that he played that year .
Astounding sound quality! Wow.
Susie was so sweet, with an expression of pure love...
Dave wasn't listening close enough Bob told you he could hit them notes caruso couldn't reach
just when I thought I heard it all....
So grand especially his guitarplay, 2nd song!
Lovely❣️💥💫 ‘House of the Rising Sun’ great too!! Thanks Swingin’, do wish you a lot of 🎶swingin’ moments and enjoyments this new year! Thanks Dylan🌺❤️🌹🌞👌
I don't know who the hell this guy thinks he is, but he's good. Could be really popular one day.
LOL
There's two kinds of people in this world my friend those who pluck guitars and those who sing he does both adios
@@ah13554 Does that make him two people?
Sure does he said so himself at Halloween 1964 I have my Bob Dylan made on
Hope you got your new cross marked at sad hill
I love the 7th track, which I hadn't come across before, but I was fairly sure it wasn't See that my grave is kept clean, which I do remember from way back, so I looked up some of the words and found out that it's The ballad of Donald White.
Recorded at the Eve and Mac McKenzie apartment, 10 West 28th Street New York City. Magical stuff !
WOW....The version of Hard Rain is off the charts good!! The dude is about 22 when he wrote THIS SONG...are you kidding me? He sounds about 50 singin it....just awesome....
best version ive ever heard soul and heart
Love and love these. I had bought in 1972 and 1973, about eight of these 'Trade Mark o f Quality' Records. A few in KC. and the rest in Portland Oregon ~ {as a young young man ` }.
Merci, merci pour cette perle rare...:-)
He’s still figuring out how he wants to sing.
Yes! So true. I bet he spends more time on that than ANY other artist.
@@dylanthompson8511 sure every day with his heart in it always❣️
this is totally awesome.
" PRICELESS" Thanks a lot !
Sand and glue my """""" untouchable best singer this side of the milky way
Thanks!!! Very rare versions!
Thanks for this Gem.
Brilliant what a good job you have done
Haven't heard a couple of these. I would love to know which Dylan wrote, which are traditional, and which feature new lyrics to old tunes.
You spoil us, S.P.
He that is pointing, is progressing.
I have no words.
I could hear and recognized albert Grossman say verry good " after bob sang the ballad of Donald white

Great recording, Thanks, but song 7 is Ballad of Donald White/8 is James Alley Blues.
This
Outstanding!
Young Bobby...❤❤❤❤❤
beautiful songs amazing
This early stuff is just the greatest………
What a Gem......
A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall has Whitman all over it. He heard 10,000 talkers? So did Whitman in Song of Myself. I've heard the talkers talking.
Hey Swingin' Pig,
Is House of the Rising Sun played at normal speed? Peter Sugarman has the song at a slightly higher pitch. Want to try and play it, mimic the recording and all.
Thanks for the upload, this is a crucial channel.
Glad you enjoy it :) and yes, this is the correct speed and pitch. The tape was restored and corrected upon being put onto The Copyright Collection.
@@SwinginPig Fantastic, what a song, I like it better than his recorded version.
That very much sounds like Albert Grossman' voice, at the end of Ballad of Donald White, saying "That's very good...it's beautiful": 20'11 ?
Of course Expectingrain short list Today! A Deal with the Devil?😉
Flavio D'Arpa hahaha. I went to the crossroads 😂

It *is* an entirely different song. It's mislabeled.
@@floepiejane What's the correct name for this song? Do you know of any other recording of it w/the lyrics Dylan sang? Really hope to find it someday.
@@Filipgroesbaek it's the Ballad of Donald White, and the one labelled that is another song.
@@floepiejane Ah, thanks! Much obliged!
YEAH YOUNG BOB YOU ARE THE BEST HONEY KISS KISS
such a natural
He borrowed you can borrow too, its easy just believe in you
Is this all of the McKenzie tapes, or is there more?
❤❤❤❤❤
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thanks
Just great
Great House of the Rising Sun. Not sure that is Ballad if Donald White. Sounds a great blues song.
God
If you only got nickel it's the Staten Island Ferry.😀
