I grew up on Beatles, The Who, Led Zepplin, etc ... Never listened to Bob Dylan. I "discovered" Bob at the end of this past summer ... Bob Dylan is the only thing I listen to now. This song is a great example why. The lyrics are amazing. Just like a couple other hundred of his songs. The last line in question is one of the all time best for sure.
I can't pick a favorite Dylan song, but this one comes close. I love the organ's pop music sound in this song as well. Dylan is the ultimate musical chameleon.
Al Kooper on the organ…. The legend is…. He showed up to play guitar … but then Mike Bloomfield showed up and unpacked his guitar and Kooper heard him play and moved over to keyboard
Frank Owens on the tack piano which Dylan really loved to feature in this phase of his career. Owens has had a long career. In 1980, he was David Letterman's musical director when the show aired in daytime.
And Bobby Gregg on drums, Russ Savakus on bass. HarriBest is right -- there is no chorus in this song. No chorus, no bridge -- just verse after bitter verse.
I had a classmate in middle school who convinced me that he was my friend but would talk crap about me when I wasn’t around. I discovered this song a couple years later in high school and it resonated immediately. I’m glad that I don’t have to settle for people who are fake like him anymore
yes, "What a drag it is to see you" is such a great line. I think the reason it hit so well is because the lead in "I wish you could stand inside my shoes" almost sounds like he's going to resolve with the person he's been digging at. But instead he comes in for the punch. Great stuff.
I'm 77 years of age, bought my first Dylan album in 1963.First saw him perform in Liverpool in May 1965. Still listen to Dylan every single day. This is one of my all time favourite Dylan songs,and the last line is an absolute knock out.
Best line ever!! This is my go to song when someone ticks me off! I play it over and over until the anger is gone! That line takes the anger out little by little!
Agreed. One of Bob’s most cutting lines. (I think it’s so universal too. We all have know-or even been-one of those people.) Don’t Think Twice it’s Alright has a few good ones too “Your the reason I’ll be traveling on,” “I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul,” “You just kinda wasted my precious time, but don’t think twice it’s alright.” Then of course there’s the “subtle” The Idiot Wind! Lol. Bob doesn’t suffer fools-or frauds-gladly! 😂🤷🏻❤️
This song got me through my adolescence, back in the early 80's. I was a shy stuttering Geek, didn't fit in, was bullied, had a few friends but didn't understand most of my fellow teens. Dylan's music taunt got me through a lot of my difficulty. I later found out all who Dylan was venting about in his own life. We had a Jewish Deli, downtown here in Dayton OH on 5th Street, called "Positively 5th Street" -an obvious title, if fan of Dylan -a very good deli, while it existed.
The sad thing is, we all probably know someone who could be described like this. Lyrical masterpiece, but just one of many from Bob. God bless you, Harri. ❤
Ah, he's golden. Been enjoying him since I was in single digits. Always did. From the first moment I heard him, even before I totally understood what he was singing, I loved him. Time has not diminished my opinion.
I have so many favorite Dylan songs but this one is right at the top. This song made me a lifelong Dylan fan. The lyrics are so meaningful. Thanks for your reaction to this. Classic Dylan. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
Absolutely a masterpiece by Bob. I love his vocals in this song. Lyrically sensational, and the instruments so enjoyable. Joni Mitchell was inspired in her writings when Dylan put out this song, saying she realized you could write about anything.Great reaction Harri. He was definitely a genius. Thanks Harri and Craig. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Joni's best put-down line: "You said I am as constant as the Northern Star and I said constantly in the darkness, where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the Bar"
This is one of the greatest songs by Bob Dylan! I have always loved his words and his music. I have every one of his albums. His words are so very cool. "I wish that for just one time you can stand inside my shoes and for that one time I could be you. Yes, I wish that for just one time you can stand inside my shoes. Then you'd know what a drag it is to see you!" Genius! So Genius!
I love Dylan and I love this song. It is so unique. The line "what a drag it is to see you" is one of the very best lyrics ever! Dylan just lets his mind roll on and on. Thanks for doing this great song.
I didn't see where anyone else described the history out of which this song came. Dylan became a star of the folk music world with songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" and others, but in 1965, he started experimenting with electric guitars and other instruments and styles of the rock and roll genre. (Basically, he invented what came to be known as "folk rock.") The folk music community was shocked, and many of them chose to distance themselves and even denigrate Dylan for this change. But Dylan proved them wrong by becoming even more popular and selling more records. This song, then, is his mocking of those who turned on him - "You've got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend."
@@arthurrubiera8029 I don't know how well they knew each other, but enough for Dylan to write that "I used to be among the crowd you're in with" (sorry for the likely misquote from the song). Apparently Ochs was infuriated at Dylan's "selling out" folk/protest music and made it a crusade. I guess Dylan had had enough when he wrote this song.
I'm thinking I had read this story too. Perhaps this group of friends, and one friend in particular, made a pact to folk music & friendship however, Dylan was progressive, the others not so much, unwilling to leave their comfort zone. The friend/group actually had a deep & bitter jealousy, envy towards Dylan, unwilling to step out of their own comfort zone with a certainty that these musicians were nothing without Bob Dylan.
I personally see that this song is loudest cry against hypocrisy, and as you also rightly said against the back stabbing. Your reaction is so genuine and beautiful stated. Keep up the good work dear.
Those lines have the power to destroy someone. I first heard Johnny Rivers's version, only later on found out it is a Bob Dylan song, he is a real genius
I love every Dylan song he wrote and sung. Thank you for sharing this one. ❤ Bob had a song about everything and anything. I use to envy his poetry and wish I could write as well.
So true Harry, his first four albums are treasures and among the best lyrics ever recorded. "Blonde on Blonde" is my desert Island mainstay...absolutely brilliant.
Haha. I always loved this song when I was a teenager… not that I had any beefs with anyone… it was just so witty. And it’s curious to me now that I never noticed the lack of chorus at the time… Dylan just stacked up a wicked set of verses, and dropped them in rapid succession… haha . Why take breaks for a chorus?? great reaction, Harri. Great request, too!
By the time I'd reached my mid teens I'd really only heard the classic Dylan songs like Hey Mr Tambourine Man and Blowin in the Wind, mostly cover versions. Nice songs, very melodic, but I'd never investigated him further because I'd been led to believe Dylan was for weirdos and intellectuals. Then my brother's wife presented me with 'Desire' and said, 'I think you'll like this.' I was absolutely blown away and played that album over and over until I saved enough pocket money to buy his latest album , Street Legal. After that I was hooked. I'm not a romantic so I loved his cynicism, his ability to pour out words and tell stories of mysticism or brutal realities. Later I realised he was responsible for some of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Dylan is unique, there'll never be another who comes close to his abilities.
Ah yes Harri. That final line has always struck me as genius. I also like his line in Like A Rolling Stone. "When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose "
Harri, you just got to do me a personal favor and check out my very favorite Bob Dylan song of all time, Desolation Row... They're making postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports brown, the beauty parlor is filled with sailors the circus is in town...
Supposedly the song is a swipe at Phil Ochs, another folksinger on the Greenwich Village scene, who panned "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window" after Bob played an acetate of it for Ochs, David Blue, and others during a night of bar and club-hopping. But there are other interpretations out there as well.
My 1st Bob Dylan album was “Highway 61 Revisited” when in high school, and have been inspired by his genius since then. (Yes, I’m an old hippie) I love watching yours and other reaction videos. We experienced the most incredible music in 60’s & 70’s. I am so thrilled to see the old tunes revived and appreciated by new generation.
This song perfectly represents great art. It is broad enough that it meets many people in many different situations yet intimate enough that it speaks to us as an individual. Simply brilliant
"You've got a lot of nerve" became common speak. "Nervy' or 'takes some nerve" existed, but flourished after this song, right up to present time. Dylan's influence on language and culture helped to earn his Nobel Prize for Literature.
@@ricardocima Real. Why wouldn't it be? Shakespeare invented 1,700 words ... Oxford English Dictionary adds up to 1,000/year ... and how many phrases did Seinfeld start?
Bob is every bit the poet of the ages. There are so many great songs he has shared with us including this one. It is very hard to stop listening to what he has to say.
This is my all time favourite song by Bob Dylan, thanks Harri for this treasure & is being shared on your channel 💎☮️😻🇨🇦 🥲 Sad news from Jamaica, Stephen Marley, grandson of Bob Marley has passed away, I was listening to the news program from Kingston, and the female host passed this sad news. Bob Marley will be holding Stephen’s hand now & taking good care of his precious grandson 💔☮️
I got this album when it first came out in 1965. I played this song until it nearly wore out. Sadly, among my missing LPs. Too many moves; too many parties. Yes, genius. Pure genius. One of the first of our age. Pure genius.
In the sixties & seventies I bought all Bob albums, singles and EP's and never played them as I thought the factory would burn down and I could not replace them. Then I bought second copies to play. So now I have copies of all his records unplayed, perfect, pristine condition.
There are so many Dylan songs which when I'm listening I think this is his best and I might be listening to this or "Like a rolling stone" ' "Blowin in the wind" "don't think twice" "It's alright ma" or "Desolation Row" or many others!! Bob and The Beatles are in a separate class from everyone else in my opinion!
Great post Harri! My first Dylan Lp was Bringing it all back Home. Early spring 1966. Have loved him ever since. The venom that he spews forth is funny, poignant, and real. One of the best. Thanks!!
That is the genius of Bob, lol. Words are more powerful than the sword... That is why he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and many more. It is hard to pick a favorite, but my best albums I have listened to most Is "Blood on the Tracks", & "Time Out Of Mind" . Then on and on. The most I saw him smile was when he was with the "Travlin Wilburys" look them up And give a listen. There is a UT video about the band. You would enjoy that too. 😉 Peace 💋 😘
First I saw the big headline about “the best line ever” and I thought I wonder what kind of line was meant. It was then that I noticed the title, “Positively 4th Street”, and I knew exactly to which line you were referring, word for word. Thanks for the memories!
Bob Dylan: Poet. Singer- Song Writer. NOBEL PEACE PRIZE recipient for Literature!! Genius at telling you to F- off in Lyrical descriptions UNMATCHED. He has the ability to make a fool of people who think they're above others and Shine a light on Haters. Just a Brilliant Conscience of humanity!! Tell 'em Bob!! Sing us the words of how to be better humans👍🏻 👏👏👏✌🏼🎸🎙
When this song was newly released it was played everywhere. A Hippie restaurant in Austin where I worked had it on their Jukebox. It was played constantly. Every morning when we came in and plugged the box back in Bob would be right back spewing, “YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE!!!”….man that got old,!!✌️😍
REMEMBER HEARING THIS SONG ASXA TEEN, AND HOW IT RESONATED! WITH ALL OF US! CUTTING, STRONG, SARCASTIC, SMART, DYLAN. IT HAS BEEN MY RAGE SONG FOR 50 YRS. THE BRILLIANT GENUIS OF BOB DYLAN. THANK YOU THANK YOU THE
Making the same journey as you (HarriBest) with Bob Dylan and totally agree with what you experiencing. And yes also and again this is a masterpiece of Bob in many ways.
Not to say I'm OLD or anything, but Bob Dylan was the poet of my generation. His music called to us, united us, spoke for us, lived in us. There are no words to describe the influence he had on music from the day his first album came out when he was 21. And that album is simply brilliant.

what a drag it is to see you .best lyric ever
Bob Dylan (Born, Robert Allen Zimmerman) is sill alive, He will go down in history as one of America's greatest poets
still alive 1 year later!
He is greatest poet
And still touring nonstop
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016 for his songwriting!
I can't pick a favorite Dylan song, but this one comes close. I love the organ's pop music sound in this song as well. Dylan is the ultimate musical chameleon.
I totally agree. So many great songs, he is a musical, poetic genius.
Al Kooper on the organ…. The legend is…. He showed up to play guitar … but then Mike Bloomfield showed up and unpacked his guitar and Kooper heard him play and moved over to keyboard
Absolutely.
top tier indeed!
I can ,ALL of them !!!!
LOVE Positively 4th Street. A lot of truth in this song.
The greatest lyricist/songwriter/poet/storyteller ever,in my humble opinion.
His work is a bottomless mine of gems.
Al Kooper on organ. Mike Bloomfield on guitar. Pretty clear-cut language from Bob. Great reaction, Harri.
Frank Owens on the tack piano which Dylan really loved to feature in this phase of his career. Owens has had a long career. In 1980, he was David Letterman's musical director when the show aired in daytime.

@@montalbans 😂😂🤣
is there an autoharp on this song
Bloomfield has always been my favorite guitarist ever since Paul Butterfield Blues Band
I wonder how many among his circle thought that this was about them
I had a classmate in middle school who convinced me that he was my friend but would talk crap about me when I wasn’t around. I discovered this song a couple years later in high school and it resonated immediately. I’m glad that I don’t have to settle for people who are fake like him anymore
My favourite bob Dylan song it reminds me of some so called friends. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great song. You really need to do Subterranean Homesick Blues!
The Stereophonics do an excellent cover of this song. Of course many bands have covered Dylan. Such a lyrical master.😯
