  • Richie Havens' take on this classic Bob Dylan song. I first heard this version nearly 30 years ago and it's always been a favorite. RIP, Richard P. Havens.

    I was sitting ten feet from him when he sung this at the Comedy Store in Bellmore, LI. Had to be over 20 years ago ! One of the best shows I've ever seen.

    I have the LP from when I was in college in the mid 60's. One of my favorite albums. I wish it was still available in another format.

    Richie Havens' overflowing humanity made the songs he took up become deeper and more beautiful . He left us riches.

    "Electric Havens", released June 1, 1968, didn't get my attention (and love) till the fall of '68 when a summer love wanted her Senior year freedom, and I got one of "those" letters. I like both Havens' and Nanci Griffith's versions so much better than Dylan's original. Dylan just sang the song. Havens and Griffith both felt it. I still need a tissue when listening. Thanks for posting for all to enjoy.

      I saw Dylan perform this live at the (L.A.) Palladium sometime in the 1990s. I wasn't into his early stuff and had never heard it before. It knocked me out. Amazing song, and I love Richie's version, too.

      @@Teddyb1939 Seville guitar expo 1992 is a great case in point, also 68 BBC if you can find it as it's on RUclips but this guy is talking rubbish Bob felt everything he recorded or wouldn't have released it. Just different people singing in their own style!

    Once Richie Havens comes into place, then every song goes to another stage of singing. Boots of Spanish Leather. Why that? First his feeling of a melody. Second his singing the lyrics. Third his unique guitar playing. Forth his pure appearance. Fifth his look. Sixth how he grabs a song intirely and makes it his own song. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.) PS: Seventh his unique rhythm: .. // .. // .... / ..../ .. // ..// ..//// .... / . /./ ...

    ..oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
    and the diamonds from the deepest ocean
    I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
    for that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'...

      Isabel Archer - yes. So beautiful. It just adds to the sadness when
      ...
      I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
      but with that country you're a goin'
      So take heed of the westward wind
      take heed of stormy weather
      yes, there's something you can send home to me
