I connected with my husband when I was 13 and he was 15. We shared Dylan albums, spent hours listening and talking about all of these songs, the meaning, the activism, the poetic genius of Dylan. Meanwhile my two teen-aged bothers were learning guitar and chose Dylan song books to learn cords and lyrics. When I was 17 we married, had 2 children, We saw Dylan live 3x. My youngest son saw Dylan live when he was 20.
They're wearing head scarfs because it was raining. This cut appears in the film and album "Hard Rain" but not all the songs appear in both. This is track 6 on the album but the ultimate performance (for me the best of all time) is the closing 9th track 'Idiot Wind' which goes on for just over 10 minutes. You'll be sorry if you never see it, it's blistering.
Like two completely different songs. I like what he does with Maggie's Farm on this tour. And there's the live version from '66 that's like a third version of that song. But Rolling Thunder is my favorite Dylan era.
"Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm" Si me preguntas qué película es la que he visto más veces podría dudar entre varias, pero si lo haces respecto a una canción te diría que es ésta sin duda ninguna. "Hard Rain" es un disco extraordinario. Es un directo apoteósico que sublima a las grabaciones de estudio, pero con ésta se sale. El ritmo de la batería y la línea del bajo son brillantes y contundentes. Etc
Saw him on this tour on its earlier leg through New England in late 1975 - I was 15 and it was one of my first concerts, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Ramblin Jack Elliot - it was incredible.
The studio version has a much different feel. One of my favorite Dylan songs. Hard to not love anything from the 2 part Rolling Thunder Review concerts where this amazing video is from. His version of Idiot Wind during this concert is in your face awesomeness. He really feels the lyrics.
Check out the live video of “Idiot Wind” from the same concert. OMG! 😱 Maybe the greatest Dylan performance I’ve seen. His voice in absolute top form. 🎸🔥
Bob was (and still is in some respects) just a total “badass” a straight up G. Positively fearless . He not only remembers the way he paints his compositions as recorded etc etc when he gets bored with how he did he had/has the ability to completely change/rework them and sometimes totally unrehearsed like Jazz on the fly . Tom Petty essentially said when he and his band ie The Heartbreakers backed Dylan on tour… that they would rehearse a track with a certain arrangement and in a certain key… but that quite often… when it came time for the gig… he would throw them all off by completely changing all of it on the fly… without even telling them… including actually busting into songs that weren’t even on the set list… and that they never even ran through before the show or ever had played together. Petty basically said they were playing like their lives depended on it standing straight right on the edge of the cliff… having no idea what he was going to do… or what was about to happen next… and when it was all said and done… they were just as surprised and amazed as everyone else . If you want to see an example of him shaken it up and movn n groovin around during a performance and make an old masterpiece and render it into a completely new one live in concert… check out “Hard Rain”… from the restored footage from the “Rolling Thunder Review” Tour chronicled in Scorsese’s film of the same name . That performance is off the hook not by the book 🤙🏽🙏🏼
i remember hearing an interview with an engineer or producer about when they recorded "Blood on the Tracks", i think.. Alot of the songs weren't rehearsed and a bandmember was unsure of how it was gonna go- the producer said , "just watch his feet!"
"It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding"... Not just a song, a lesson on life..... OR, for the funniest song ever written.... "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" (song name) will make you laugh at Bob's incredible sense of humor.
My favorite Dylan story was how he showed up at the back door of his concert in Medford,OR and was denied entry from the bouncer. The guy didn’t believe he was him ( maybe because of the mustache ) and Bob had to make some phone calls to finally get let in.
I have always heard these lyrics as the moment of a woman letting a man into her body. He has lived with desire as a constant (the storm). The shelter is being in that moment. Desire is a torment but the moment is all.
I love his dancing. He can’t quit moving his feet even sitting at the piano at every concert I’ve been to. I’ve been going to see him every year since 1994. I started listening to him in 1963. In 2022 it was sad because he couldn’t make it to center stage and held on to the piano. But the show was still fantastic.
Studio and live versions spmetimes have different lyrics. Tangled Up in Blue is one example whete the Blood on the Tracks version is different than Live 75 Rolling Thinder Revue
Up To Me.. any songwriter would see that sing as the finest piece of work they possibly create. Bob left it off the album.. no room apparently... Please put this right and put it out there!!
It's important to note that Dylan relentlessly changes context for his songs, so they always are different, often radically, from how they appear on record. This is a rock version of Shelter from the Storm live. Also by this point "Electric" Dylan had already been a thing for a while, but it is still an enormous departure from the acoustic version on his brilliant album Blood On The Tracks. For me, this is Dylan saying "don't expect me to always be pretty like I am on the record".
HIGH Harri..... I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing Bob Dylan Live 3 times. Always blows away the crowd with his masterful brilliant songs. "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding" is a must. You will never forget the experience, neither will your subscribers. It is not just a "Book".... It is an entire Encyclopedia on life.
PLEEEAASE listen to the studio version Harri! In fact that whole album "Blood On The Tracks" is worth the listen. Such a very personal album for Dylan highly recommended my friend. Great vid keep it up!!
When Dylan doesn’t remember the lyrics, he just changes them, I think. Or he changes them just because he wants to. In concerts, I’ve heard him sing several different versions of several songs, especially “Tangled Up in Blue”.
I love seeing the appreciation in your eyes...both for lyrics and for individuality of music style. This isn't my fave version of this song, but it is great to hear you thoughts. Try the original from album Blood on the Tracks :)
At the end of the 7 minute Hard Rain’ a gonna fall he says “I know my song well before I start singing”. And per usual, Dylan is just talking about one thing…
One thing you got to understand about Dylan is he never does a live version of a song the same. Listen to the studio version also if you can. This came of of the album Blood on the Tracks which most die hard Dylan fans will tell you is his best album.
I love your videos. But I just listened to the original which I remember from when it first came out. It was so lyrical and poignant. This version on the other hand strikes me too much like yelling, and without feeling. The song itself is still great of course. But I wish you had encountered the original! Love your soulful reviews.
I keep seeing people on YT doing reactions to live music, to be honest most of my exposiour to music through the 70's was albums, and most of what i heard from the 60's was albums, good quality studio music, not that i hate the live reactions to live music, but a lot of the time it sounds real bad compaired to what i listened to, :)
This is the version you should listen to. It's the studio version. In my opinion it's much much better. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/-gsDBuHwqbM/видео.html
Generally speaking, I prefer to watch reactions to live performances, but the quality on this one is disappointing. Still a great song by a great man! Thanks Marie and Harri. 🌺✌️
It sounds very Irish to me -- perhaps he was just tweaking some of his critics (of going electric) -- the original is very contemplative -- this almost sounds like a jig.
I have been a fan of Dylan's since 1963, but I always shudder when I see someone reacting to one of his live performances. He often seems disdainful of the audience, the music, the songs themselves.
My advice to you on Bob Dylan, unless you're there at the actual concert, never react to his songs from a live performance! They're day&nite difference from studio versions! Studio versions are beautiful, the music quality no comparison, and the lyrics you just have to hear. Sorry, just being honest! It is definately an honor being at a concert of his but it's basically all noise.
Hurried, mean, monotonic. Not the worst, but certainly unlikable. There's some good performances in this period, but nothing compared to Budakhan a year earlier.
@@dwhite849 Not even close to expecting any artist to do a song the same way twice. I'm saying THIS WAY sucked ass, and it's a shame, because it's a great song.
@@debjorgo I'm happy for you. I think you are wrong, but I'm also glad you enjoyed it. Some folks enjoy the flavor of large mouth bass. I don't, but some folks do...
@@debjorgo I agree. I like to see the raw talent of an artist live. The studio version is excellent but it’s not the same as actually seeing the artist performing.

Wow, l can relate! Had the same with my husband only we met when older.
Your life sounds charmed 💕
You can't define Dylan in one or two genres of music. He had successful songs in the style of folk, rock, jazz, gospel, and country, among others
Slippin N Slidin Shufflin Blues as well .
There’s a reason Dylan won the Nobel Prize for literature
Dylan could do no wrong in these days. Every performance knocks it out of the park. One of a kind.
They're wearing head scarfs because it was raining. This cut appears in the film and album "Hard Rain" but not all the songs appear in both.

With his soon-to-be-exwife listening just off stage...😮
We wore any and everything back then
The flow of his delivery on this live version is special, the studio version is acoustic.
Like two completely different songs. I like what he does with Maggie's Farm on this tour. And there's the live version from '66 that's like a third version of that song. But Rolling Thunder is my favorite Dylan era.
@@debjorgo me too
Poet. Transcendental.
"Twas in another lifetime"

Bob Dylan and the Rolling Thunder Review. I saw them at the Springfield Civic Center in 1975, what a show!
The studio version has a much different feel. One of my favorite Dylan songs.

What a wordsmith! What a beautiful man!❤❤❤❤
Loved the Blood on the Tracks version but this live version is awesome!
Bob Dylan is a extremely talented songwriter
Really? I thought bieber was better...
I love his dancing. He can’t quit moving his feet even sitting at the piano at every concert I’ve been to. I’ve been going to see him every year since 1994. I started listening to him in 1963.

Studio and live versions spmetimes have different lyrics. Tangled Up in Blue is one example whete the Blood on the Tracks version is different than Live 75 Rolling Thinder Revue
He’d change up lyrics on the spot as well sometimes
Honestly I think you could ask Bob Dylan to write a song about a box of cat crap and he could make it sound good. GREATEST LYRICIST EVER.
He's using a slide on this performance. Very rare for him!
Dylan is God's masterpiece.
A gem!
The head scarves were Dylan going for a gypsy look.
Up To Me.. any songwriter would see that sing as the finest piece of work they possibly create. Bob left it off the album.. no room apparently... Please put this right and put it out there!!

love this version so full of energy Bobs voice around 75-76 at its peak
This is the best version of this song and you're the only one I've seen to react to it. Awesome thanks for this.
PLEEEAASE listen to the studio version Harri! In fact that whole album "Blood On The Tracks" is worth the listen. Such a very personal album for Dylan highly recommended my friend. Great vid keep it up!!
You should only listen to studio versions of Bob Dylan. His live performances are really rough.
He said he could remember all the words to his songs because he lived them.......good answer, huh?
Harri, I always enjoy your Channel and Reactions. Thanks for another great experience.
best version of one of the greatest songs of a generation...
When Dylan doesn’t remember the lyrics, he just changes them, I think. Or he changes them just because he wants to. In concerts, I’ve heard him sing several different versions of several songs, especially “Tangled Up in Blue”.
loving the dylan reactions. Cheers

Studio version blows this away!
My idol!! ❤❤❤❤ Dylan said, that people always want to know what a song means. He said, whatever you want it to say because I don't know!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw Dylan during the Rolling Thunder Review in upstate NY; my all time concert experience, and that covers a lot of ground...
Yes. Do "Tangled up in Blue".
thank you, Harri …. great choice ….
Hard Rain was a very special album....Dylan songs done in a hard rock fashion.
keep with the Dylan commentary, really enjoying your experience
I recommend starting with studio version before venturing into live versions
Hard to argue with this version though. I think he can still go back to the studio track and enjoy the different version.
Totally different groove than the studio version of this song. Much prefer the studio version on this one.
Dylan and McCartney are both Geminis and you can tell because their music always changes! Unpredictable!!
Electrified Folk Rock!
Genius !!
At the end of the 7 minute Hard Rain’ a gonna fall he says “I know my song well before I start singing”. And per usual, Dylan is just talking about one thing…
Great to see Dylan live,but personally I prefer the studio version on the Blood on the tracks LP, not so noisy and sung with more intimacy and taste.
Please listen to the album Blood On The Tracks! You will love it!
As well as everyone of his albums
One thing you got to understand about Dylan is he never does a live version of a song the same. Listen to the studio version also if you can. This came of of the album Blood on the Tracks which most die hard Dylan fans will tell you is his best album.
Fun fact : Invited on stage by the Rolling Stones to play with them Like a rolling stone, he forgot the lyrics during his part.
Chris Martin did a very nice cover of this on Saturday Night Live a few years ago.
Is the full concert somewhere on YT?

I like Lay Lady Lay.

no one touches dylan re lyrics...not even close
I have been a fan of Dylan's since 1963, but I always shudder when I see someone reacting to one of his live performances. He often seems disdainful of the audience, the music, the songs themselves.
Different from the original recording.
The original album version is more acoustic than rocking.
I wonder if he is portraying christ jesus and the woman is the bride, God's people on earth. Then a lot of mixed messages among thd bride group?
Def some Jesus references in there.
This live version is fun but it does not embody the essence that is Bob Dylan. Listen to the original.
I love Dylan but he can't sing. But, by God he could write. Not one failure.

You need to hear the original studio version. This is mediocre.
I just remembered this era of his music was being blocked from RUclips. Hence, live versions of otherwise great songs.
What a horrible version of a beautiful song...
I have see Dylan six times - he never ever did a song like he did before. never once But yeah - a great song one of my favorites
