Bob Dylan thread

[When Jokers Attack]

Check out Blood on the Tapes if you get a chance, interesting stuff.

Also, whats with the lack of Dylan on youtube? Theres f**k all of him. Does he have his own cyber police force?

This also really annoys me.

Not heard Blood On The Tapes, Downloading it now.

Listening to The Times The Are A-Changin' for the first time in a few years.

One of my favourite Dylan tunes.

When The Ship Comes In.

Dylan, Keef and Ronnie Wood absolutely butchered it at Live Aid............ real end of Braveheart sort of performance. Punters shouting "mercy" up at the stage and covering their ears.

I love this duet with Johnny Cash on Nashville Skyline. I'm sure they'd both imbibed a bit too much when they recorded this in a late night session. Sounds like two happy drunks staggering out of the pub together.

This is probably my favourite ever Dylan song. Well, you know that changes every day, but it's right up there. Utterly fucking magnificent.

[Mardy]

The line that absolutely kills me in this song

'You, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can't you *reach*'

'You, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can't you *reach*'

My favourite line in the song too. Nobody ever spat venom like Dylan.

As for this.

"Idiot wind blowing every time you move your mouth,

Blowing down the backroads heading south,

Idiot wind blowing every time you move your teeth,

You're an idiot babe,

Its a wonder you still know how to breathe."

"You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies,

One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzing around your eyes"

She's Your Lover Now missing verse:

Now your eyes cry wolf,

While your mouth cries "I'm not scared

Of animals like you."

And you, there's been nothing of you I can recall;

I just saw you that one time. You were just there, that's all.

But, I've already been kissed,

I'm not gonna get into this.

I couldn't make it, anyhow.

You do it for me,

You're her lover now.

It was cut off the end of the recording accidentally. Also, I have a poster in my room of that picture of Dylan from the video of She's Your Lover Now that you posted Nal.

Although he ripped himself off a bit for the chorus in this

Really like Street Legal.

[Mardy]

Street Legal is a really underrated album, there's some brilliant stuff on there, particularly side 2

Don't hit me with that "side 2" cobblers you waffler!

You've never listened to Dylan on anything 'cept yer iPod Nano.

[Mardy]

hahaha, bought all my Dylan on vinyl as a young man, from funhouse records in Margate, still think of them that way

[Mardy]

this has now got me considering whether to go to Hop Farm.

First saw Dylan in 89, after the release of Oh mercy and he was great

Last saw Dylan in the Fleadh a few years back, and he was appalling

had convinced myself I never wanted to see him again, but after spending the day listening to him, I just don't know. Go on, tell me he'll be awful, reassure me that I won't be missing a thing.

[The Nal]

Last time I saw him was in Dublin on the Together Through Life tour and he was great. New stuff sounded superb and he did a killer version of Just Like a Woman.

Not sure about a festival crowd though? You really have to work as a Dylan fan at his gigs sometimes!

I'd hold off. That won't be his only UK gig of the year.

When I saw Dylan at Hop Farm '10 he was a bit more active than when I saw him at o2 Arena. I know that isn't saying much, but he seemed to be more up for it at a festival. He played a lot of newer stuff but we got Rainy Day Woman #12 and 35. Everybody must get stoned!!!!!!

[Mardy]

Yeah, you're right Nal, think I'll give it a miss. I'll be honest, I'm not that fussed about anything he's done in the last 20 years, no matter how much anyone heralds it as a return to form, it really really isn't. But thanks to this thread, I've listened to more Dylan this week than I have in ages. Rekindled my love. I owe you.
