"I'm living in a foreign country now, but I'm bound to cross the line. Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born! 'Come in', she said, 'I'll give you Shelter From the Storm.' "
Another great and heartfelt song. It is clearly about his wife, Sara. He married her in 1965, when he was indeed in the midst of a "storm" in the sense of how complicated and high pressured his life had become. She gave him the shelter and the peaceful refuge he needed to get away from all that. They were seemingly perfect for each other at the time. The marriage lasted very well for 8 years, and they had 4 children, and then it started to fall apart in 1974 when he started touring again.
That's why he says toward the end of the song, "Now there's a wall between us. Something that's been lost. I took too much for granted. I got my signals crossed. Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn. 'Come in', she said, 'I'll give you Shelter From the Storm.' "
As for the Biblical imagery, well there's Biblical imagery woven all through Dylan's writings right from the beginning of his career. He's certainly not saying that he himself is Christ. He's saying that he (and everyone else) goes through struggles in life that have much in common with the struggles that are depicted in the story of Christ, because it's a universal story that applies to everyone. We have our "temptation in the desert". We face the rejection of people in our own hometown who think they know all about us and therefore discount us. We face despair in "the Garden". We get falsely judged and accused by others. We get crucified for speaking the truth. These symbols can apply to anyone at different times in their lives.
This is a very thoughtful post, George. Very true.
Dylan cites biblical literature the same way he cites any classical literature.
This is a great version of a wonderful song. The original, btw, sounds absolutely NOTHING like this. If you don’t want to react to for obv reasons I highly rec you listen to it. It’s acoustic and much sweeter.
Agree- The album/original is more tender, wistful
Sweeter? I'd offer a bit more subdued and less memorable...I say this with respect. More dull actually would be a better word.
@@Twilight-cl3zc beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
@@Twilight-cl3zc I like this, it has bounce and funk to it.
And although I also like the official studio version, Dylan often records his songs different ways. And the original is always sung differently with every live performance.
With Dylan each song is never definitive. Its always just an interpretation. So yeah, I'm with you.
There is only one Bob Dylan
and boy do I love his mind. Just fantastic. His music is poetry and is open to all our interpretations.
Live Bob is great, since he rarely plays a song the same as on his album’s, but I’d start with the album versions, due to them being formed in a more thoughtful and controlled environment for his unique, whimsical approach to music.
I'd normally agree with that, but this is a rockin' great live track.
I don’t disagree with you. But…we have learned that the album version of a Dylan song is just the version of the song at the point in time of the recording.
@@GD-rd6ig IMO, the album version is going to be the best version. Dylan has about 5 songs where the live version sounds completely different from the studio track and are as good or better. Technically, I've contradicted myself. But since they sound so different, they are like different songs. Take the song Maggie's Farm. I'd recommend the studio track. But if you accidently get one of the live versions, there are at least two that sound like different song from each other and they both are great, I'd still recommend after that to listen to the studio version, because you still hadn't heard it.
Bob Dylan is always there when you need him.
So true!
Bob Dylan God's greatest masterpiece.
Going to subscribe because of Dylan.
Thank you for intelligence.
The best way to listen to this song is by listening to the whole album: Blood on Tracks. The overall theme of the album is his separation from his wife Sara. All the songs on the album deal with that to some degree. If you listen to the full album the songs start making a lot more sense.
You are definitely right
Glad that you are a true fan, like myself. Blood on the tracks
One of my favorites.
I heartily agree. Blood on the Tracks is a great album, totally solid.
As Wilburn Reactions is really enjoying Dylan, I heartily agree! I know he enjoys watching live performances. But Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks album is a masterpiece IMO!
Agreed. And I prefer the album version to this live version
@@Michael_1986 - Yes, the album version on "Blood on the Tracks" is definitely the best. That whole album is a masterpiece, and it's almost entirely about his separation from his wife Sara. (except maybe the great adventure tale: "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts"...which ought to be made into a movie! But would they do it justice? Probably not.)
Positively 64TH street is a must listen my friend
4th Street
"Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" from this same album, "Blood on the Tracks"
A measure of the man's genius - he somehow made this version even more brilliant than the original.
You really should react to "Tangled Up and Blue " that's Dylan's masterpiece .Definitely the studio version :)
Bassist Rob Stoner was the Band Arranger, Howie Wyeth on Drums, Violinist Scarlet Rivera, Guitarists Mick Robson, T-Bone Burnett, Dave Mansfield among others … Some Great Shows during this Tour
Great reaction, Chod. I would love to see (and hear) a reaction to Bob Dylan w/Johnny Cash on "Girl from the North Country" (Bob's song from his great album Nashville Skyline).
Yes, I think there are a lot of good country songs on "Nashville Skyline".
So cool. Bob in 1976 live is the best.
I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million times more .... Bob Dylan is a freaking genius.
For what it's worth, The Church has always been referred to as woman/mother and I've always taken the woman in this song to be a metaphor for Church.
That's an interesting thought. Dylan's songs often work simultaneously on several different levels, and that could be one of them. I think he writes not by plan, but just by instinct and the feeling that's moving in him at the time, and that's what produces the greatest poetry. It can say several different things at the same time.
there's also often additional religious imagery eg "I was looking for salvation" etc … I guess it's what ought to expect from a jewish kid growing up in lutheran Minnesota?
A bit of a long one but I'd highly recommend desolation row
He remembers every word to his over 700 songs😎💯
The "storm" -- "Crocodiles" etc. -- is about how some critics savaged him.
This song, and the rest of "Blood On the Tracks," were about the breakup of his marriage.
He wrote the song about a particular woman and a particular relationship. It’s loaded with biblical metaphor, and the message is about a deep sense of gratitude. The woman in the song is a real woman, and she reached down and helped him through a very dark time in his life.
Thank you. Great seeing our youth discovering a genious of all times.
You are great with respect for playing.
Glad you listen.
"Positively 4th st" by dylan please!
Great song. This version was from his Rolling Thunder Revue Tour in the seventies. It was a major tour and he brought several other major musicians on different parts of the tour.
This performance of this song has been one of my favorite performances of all time for years now. I can't even articulate why. It just IS.
Thank the lord someone is diving into this masterpiece of an album✌🤘
My favorite album ever!
So so good that you’re doing this deep dive into Dylan. Really enjoyable! Thank you
He’s had many great albums, but to me “Blood on the Tracks” is the most powerful. It was written as his marriage disintegrated, and every emotion he must have gone through, from disbelief, anger, panic, begging, grief, scorn, nostalgia, and acceptance all appear. It’s so raw and painful, but presented so beautifully that it’s hard to listen to but impossible not to. Listen to “A Simple Twist of Fate”, for instance, and try to feel nothing. Every song is great, and if you’ve ever had a painful breakup the album can be incredibly cathartic. It’s an album where every listen brings something you didn’t notice before. A desert island record.
Very subjective your choice and many people's choice tbf. For me having listemed to all of his songs I'd have to call out Blonde on Blonde as his greatest, but I think many would agree with you. Why I dont agree is because ALL the songs on BOTT are accoustic and slightly subdued and downbeat in vibe, even the more upbeat songs and it's a bit of a wrench to hear the album play through. Not so on Blonde on Blonde which is smokey, mournful, tender a tad vengeful and his excitement is present like he just wrote the best song of his career, just way more upbeat. More emotions other than just sadness which seems to be throughout Blood on the Tracks. I think Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is one of his sweetest ever songs and in one composition eclipses the entire BOTT's album in the vibe you like, then you have Visions of Johanna of course..stunning. It just has the energy of a younger man, its as simple as that which is ever present, rife throughout the album when comparing the two side by side. 👍😁
@@Twilight-cl3zc Blonde on blonde is an unbelievable album, it sums up the genius of young BOb, Sooner ot later - may be his greatest song because it sounds half finished and everything great about BOB is in that song....
Great song, and yes there is a fair amount of religious symbolism in this song however you interpret it. And frankly, I’m sure Dylan wants his songs to be open to personal interpretation. But like others, I really recommend listening to the album version of this song. Blood on the Tracks is my favorite Dylan album, and ranks in the top five of my all-time favorite albums. It is probably the one I would take to a desert island if I could only have one album. The songs are phenomenal and I always think Dylan’s voice is at its best. I would even go so far as to say there is a lushness to the album. And I don’t think that is a usual descriptor for Dylan.
My favorite Dylan album too. One of my favorite albums period.
Exactly my feelings. The one album I’d take to the desert island. Every song is like having a movie run through your head. I wasn’t particularly a Dylan fan when the album came out. Then I heard buckets of rain on a tv show and went straight out and bought it. Nevervv be regretted it. A masterpiece
There are many “religious themes” throughout Dylan’s Catalog over his long career,
it’s one of the constants
Thank you for covering Bob Dylan, I'm 70 this year and have followed him since his first album. Where great lyricists create great stories (Dave Mason, Bruce Springsteen, etc.), Bob creates novels in the same amount of time. He is a national treasure.
That's our Bob Dylan...
Tangled Up in Blue next please. Either the live version from this same tour or the Blood On the Tracks studio version.
Bob is my guy…I really appreciate your insight and your appreciation.
Love DYLAN'S voice in the 70s, rolling thunder revue he's was on fire. I think he's saying the fans think he's Messiah, they are pushing and pulling him and it's all to much, they gambled for his clothes. They took his crown of thorns. This is how the fans see him
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this version of this song. Love Rolling Thunder Bob. Btw. Watch this movie when you get a chance.
Thank you my friend❤️
Thank you for sharing Bob Dylan. Live or studio, he has offered so much...Seeing him live has always been a treat. Thanks, again!
Love Dylan and your reactions and insights!
Brilliant lyrics and song.....
Once again thank you young man. Tangled up in blue would be a great reaction piece
Enjoy the deep dive approach. Definitely check out the original album version on Blood on the Tracks. Live & studio versions fit right into the deep dive.
Such a great songwriter. Cool version too.
Dylan is a wonderfully deep enigma. That is what makes him timeless.
Thank you for choosing this song and for your content.
So glad you are doing more Dylan! IMAO this is one of the best songs from the best album of Dylan's: Blood on the Tracks. I love what you bring to your reactions man!
I remember seeing this concert at home. It came out on TV. Lay Lady Lay is the best version I have ever heard played at this concert. Rain didn't stop them from playing awesome concert!
Look at that crowd!
Love this song
This Convert was from Ft Collins,Co in late Soring of 1976 and I believe closed out the “Rolling Thunder Revue” Tours which started the Fall of 1975
This Concert or a good part of it was actually televised and aired on NBC on a Friday/Saturday Night back in the day ..
Love the master lyricist/poet! ☮️❤️🌻😎
This is one of my top 10 songs of all time. The words are just etched in my mind. It is cool to see him live but the studio version is sublime. Though two great live versions to react to would be his set from The Last Waltz - Forever Young, Baby Let Me Follow You Down, I Shall Be Released. And, also backed by The Band, Like A Rolling Stone where he is heckled by the audience and called Judas, such an angry and iconic performance. Great review as always.
Great reaction to a amazing song from the best. I really like to see a reaction to “pressing on” by Bob Dylan. It’s a perfect gospel song. If you can find a live version that would be great but anything would do.
This is off Blood on the Tracks, a great album. This live version is awesome, completely different arrangement than on the album.
You really should, as others have said, check out the album Blood On The Tracks. Great record.
Can't wait to see you again in ireland bob
Absolutamente sensacional. Posee una gran fuerza vocal e instrumental y el bajo a toda potencia te envuelve mágicamente. Grabada originalmente en su álbum de estudio "Blood On The Tracks" de 1975 y ésta versión figura en "Hard Rain" grabado en vivo al año siguiente. Etc
FYI, this show was at Fort Collins, Colorado (Hughes Stadium)
This song speaks to the need of all humans to find resting places, encouraging words and touches of all types. These can save lives.
Genius! Not sure if you knew but his son is a great artist too. Jakob Dylan was huge in late 90s early 2000s. He was the lead singer for the wallflowers. In fact I saw them 9/15/2001. The opened for John Mellencamp. First i have to say it was an extremely emotional night. It was kinda frightening to be in a big crowd considering what happened on the 11th. But on the other hand the venue was just filled with love and patriotism... Anyway, They were great! You can see some of Bob in his voice. Check them out.✌❤
The very first stanza describes the creative process.
I believe it was the poet T.S. Eliot who, when asked about the meaning of one of his poems, said that there was no one correct answer. A poem means something different to each reader. Even the same person might interpret a song differently in their 50s than they did in their 20s. The same is true of Bob Dylan’s lyrics. I hope I got the poet right, but college was a long time ago for me. Plus, T.S. Eliot is deep. It gave me much food for thought over my life, however. There are not right answers sometimes. There are thoughtful answers, though, and yours was thoughtful. Thank you for another reaction to the magnificent Bob Dylan.
Please also listen to studio version of this song.
Another great live performance from 1976 is Forever Young from the Last Waltz with The Band, still waiting for you to do Tangled Up In Blue studio version from the album Blood on The Tracks great story with clever lyrics and Its Not Dark Yet, promise you’ll be asking your self why you didn’t do these sooner
BD on electric . Super Star 🎸☮️
HE WAS 35 HERE AND REALLY ROLLING..GREAT TO SEE YOU REACT TO HIM...TAKE CARE CHOD,,,,KENT
So energetic. I love seeing him perform on this one. He even opens his mouth while singing 😂
Well yes...he opens his mouth!
At least with genious and not like your comment!!!
Your sad. Dah!!!
I won't respond verbally about your comment.
It would not be nice AT ALL.
@@sandrasmith8568 You are funny. Whenever I saw him live he was ace, but never that energetic and outgoing. From someone who has all the Dylan records: What triggered you so much?
Would love if they released this on Blu-ray
The "storm" is the world of fame. And he was going through the breakup of his marriage when he wrote it.
Bob is one of those artists that I prefer to listen to studio recordings rather than live, though I've seen him in concert two times. He never does a song the same way twice, and the studio versions are usually the best.
Dylan’s audio is the always the best place to start. His live performances are different each show.
The flow of the delivery is outstanding here it’s so smooth in a “shouting” tone and he uses these melodic embellishments on some verses and words.
On the song meaning/lyrics itself I’ve always thought there was something deeper than “oh woman is good she’ll protect me from the storm” there’s lots of biblical references the way I interpret the song is the “her and she” who is offering to come inside and take shelter from the storm the “storm” being the troubles the characters are facing in the verses yes I said characters I believe this song is working on a multiple person scale and not a single person scale and the “her and she” is the church or faith,
this verse “if I could only turn back the clock to when god and her were born, come in she said, I’ll give ya shelter from the storm” when god was “born” the church/faith was born.
Dylan has always used biblical themes in his music ever since the start of his career some times satirical in nature early on then it kind of changed in 1967s John Wesley Harding album apparently in Dylan’s retreat and hiatus up to Woodstock after his drug fuelled and rough state during the 1966 world tour and he retreated and became a family man raising his young family reading scripture and whole heaps of books and writing songs just hitting a reset button on himself and going back to “basics”.
Great songs ! Please do another Bob Dylan's song . Masters of War.
Live Dylan is generally a more intense Dylan, while the studio or album versions will give you a more collective, concise Bob Dylan, centered on storytelling and detail.. Check out "Stuck Inside of Mobile, With the Memphis Blues Again", "Maggie's Farm", "I Want You", "Tangled Up In Blue", or "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"..
Dylan: if I wanna play slide guitar, I will play slide guitar
Dylan rules. Keep digging!
I had Hard Rain before I bought Blood on the Tracks, I must have got broke in wrong; I like this version best! Rob Stoner's bass was great, and how Bob played slide guitar was genius too.
The lyrics are what Dylan was/is all about. The original rapper.
Wow, I never heard this version before, but I like it. I liked the contemporary stuff Bob was recording in the studio in '75 - '76; That whole "Desire" album is my favorite - sample "HURRICANE", "BLACK DIAMOND BAY", "ISIS", "MOZAMBIQUE", etc. Blood On The Tracks album probably next.
New here the Marshall tucker band cant you see. You will love it
You need to listen to Bob Dylan's Series of Dreams next!!
Gosh I wish we could all go back to the six days at least a couple times a week.. where's the time machine?.. and live it in the moment.. live in person..
Apart from checking out the album version of this song, you could maybe react to 'If You See Her, Say Hello' from the same album (i.e., 'Blood on The Tracks').
Masters of war applies to now and 30 yrs in the future are more. I love the music you play and how you don't interrupt the music.
😊👍
☮️💜
"I can write you poems make a strong man lose his mind, I ain't no pig without a wig, I hope you treat me kind" Embrace the ambiguity, Chod. Run down all the leads. You're a Dylan fan now.
Bob makes you get your head around what the song means to him, and then the song makes you get your head around what it means to you personally. Creators who can do that are true geniuses. I'm talking about poetry not entertainment. There's a different between the two, getting deep verses having fun. Both are necessary. But few can be true poets.
Please do Tangled up in Blue.
I think u have to listen to his songs in the context of what albums they appear on.
Because this is from blood on the tracks (his divorce album) I feel there's a lot of heartbreak, conflict & longing in the lyrics as there is throughout that specific album
The original version was basically acoustic.
Uploader, although I am interested in what you have to say about the religious aspects of the song, and I have also thought about them from similar angles many times before myself, it's also worth noting that this was by no ways new to Dylan's way of thinking.
Even way back in the earliest days of his first albums when there was no suggestion of a religious conversion there was always a strong Judeo-Christian influence in which he explored Biblical narratives and wove them into seemingly normal everyday themes within a given song. But what one person sees another will see differently and neither are necessarily wrong because his work is multi-layered and works on different esoteric levels.
And from performance to performance, he plays the songs diffently to how he originally recorded them; and even then he often records several takes on a song, and then when it's done live he often then goes and changes the lyrics, or even the melody and/or tempo.
Dylan rarely offers his songs as definitive within their selves. Each one is an interpretation, waiting to be reinterpreted, meaning different things at different times to different people and that is the way that it has always been with Bob Dylan.
Dylan himself said in 1965: "I define nothing. Definition destroys."
Other than that, yeah, its a great video and you obviously got a lot out of it. Nice work. 👍
Oddly this reminds me a lot of Warren Zevon's "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money", which is equally brilliant but obviously much shorter.
Great job Chod. Whoa, Carlos Santana playing with him! (Or was it?) It's a great song, this version a nice variation from the studio version. But the studio one is better, tones following the lyrics better, more like old Dylan (fewer instruments, forward vocals).
All four Beatles considered Dylan to be the greatest .
Man, I don't know how Bob Dylan could find all those lyrics. You should do "Hurricane." The lyrics could fill a chapter in a book, and yet the song flies right by. Here they are - apologies for taking up about ten inches of space. Edit: more like 24 inches.
Pistols shots ring out in the bar room night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For something that he never done
Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Three bodies lying there does Patty see
And another man named Bello moving around mysteriously
"I didn't do it", he says and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbing the register. I hope you understand
"I saw them leaving," he says and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene
With their red lights flashing
In the hot New Jersey night
Meanwhile far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that
In Paterson that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowling around
He said, "I saw two men running out. They looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead."
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him he could identify the guilty men
Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in
They took him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one dying eye
Says, "Why'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Here's the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For something that he never done
Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been the champion of the world
Four months later the ghettos are in flame
Rubin's in South America fighting for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are putting the screws to him looking for somebody to blame
"Remember that murder that you happened in a bar?
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
You think you'd like to play ball with the law?
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw running that night?
Don't forget that you are white"
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
The cop said, "A boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talking to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanna have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
You'll be doing society a favor
That son of a bitch is brave and getting braver
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
"It's my work," he'd say, "and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail."
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus. He never had a chance
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
And though they could not produce the gun
The DA said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
The crime was murder 'one'. Guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers-they all went along for the ride
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed
To live in a land
Where justice is a game
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell
Yes, that's the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over 'til they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done
Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Wilburn - I really enjoy your channel, obviously as I'm subscribed. I like that you are not musically illiterate so your reactions have more weight to them. I also like that you listen to the whole song before criticizing - and that if you don't like a tune you say so. However, that being said - may I make a suggestion about Mr. Dylan? I don't have a channel- although I've thought about it like everyone else in America - but in the case of Bob Dylan I put forth the idea that a person's first listen to and reaction to, would be best served by his original album material. Why do I suggest this for him particularly? Because as most huge lifetime Dylan fans will tell you - live Mr. Bob is often the worst butcher of his own songs. My heart pains that your first listen to this absolutely classic song - off quiet possibly his most brilliant LP "Blood on the Tracks" has been this sped up and almost parodied version. And what's funny is that this live performance is not nearly as brutal as many of his live or bootlegged efforts. I've seen Dylan live many times, and have all his album's. He constantly abuses his own compositions live for some reason - and therefore, and sometimes purposely I feel, his audience. I've seen him at the first show of a new album tour and he and the band are great - then I've seen the same show at the end of the tour, and I swear you can barely recognize the tunes. Now a really together band or artist can pull off changing their own compositions as I know your aware, but Bob changes it up just to fuck with his audience. He'll change a songs time on the spur of the moment just to screw with his own band sometimes. Now don't get me wrong, he has many good live performances - but man is it a very, very mixed bag. I feel you would be better served - and many of your music and Dylan fans would enjoy hearing and watching your reactions to his original recordings. Then you could dig through his live material. Just a suggestion- as I'll keep watching you wonderful channel regardless. Much Love to you and your family.
When he went electric his folkie fans went crazy, In England whey they started to boo him he yelled, "Turn it up." Or somethingn like that.
Bob Dylan looks like Jesus.
arab bob 😎👊
Good interpretation. This live version is quite different from the record. The lyrics are the same tho.
Listen to the studio version on your own time.
Reacting to chimes of freedom by Bob Dylan
For me it’s Bob then Robert Hunter for songwriting
You gotta check out the original studio
