I was there and this was a perfect song to play since the majority of the Willie crowd had no idea what was happening when Bob was onstage....Great performance throughout by Bob and band!
Bob was on fire in Raleigh. This performance in particular really stood out. His vocals were nuanced and the band sounded powerful. Love the way he delivers the line, “You’re very well read, it’s well known.” When he busted out the harmonica it was just about everything you could have hoped for. If you are on the fence about buying tickets for these Outlaw Festival performances, I highly recommend it. Thanks for posting this video.
The Raleigh version is just a bit more introspective than the night before. In Charlotte, NC, Bob sang this like he was the wrath of God. And the band followed. Truly unforgettable.
Yes agree. Charlotte BOATM had such intensity ! Not sure what mood Bob was in but I enjoyed his message with Charlotte version. We managed 4 gigs, then flew back home to UK after Virginia Beach. Great to catch Bob again anywhere we can, as no European leg this year.
Very nice recording. Some other videos sound thin but you got a nice rich sound. The Farm Aid version of this was brilliant and this is almost as good. What he's playing on harmonica sounds a lot like what he played on guitar then.
LEGENDARY & Iconic Song that Conveys SO Much..indicates the Corruption that was going down in the " BIZ" wen Bob was just a Youth in New York. Fabulous Song & Fabuloud Performance by Our own Legendary Poet & Voice of a Generation that STILL Pertains to TODAY. Thank You Bob ♥ ✌
Thanks for sharing! I have heard a few ripping on Keltner after night one but give him some time. I thought he nailed it here and this is a very solid overall performance.
Convincing and a great video for sure, especially in that black & white aesthetic , I see a connection to 'Shadow Kingdom ' but with a drum in addition. Sounds 👌
Non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare questa bellissima canzone, thank you Bob also for your solo of harmonica. Wonderful song, I think he change the words, but I’m not sure, because sometimes I don’t understand the words
This was a relevant song in the Sixties. My take, Mr. Jones was an establishment square caught up in in the cultural revolution of the 60's. This song has ceased to have any relevance since about 1972 or whenever it was when the the spirit of the 60's died.
