I know all the words to this song. I used to sing it when I worked at a gas station when I was cleaning stuff and taking temps, along with 'The Weight', 'Hotel California', 'Take it Easy', 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' and 'Early Morning Rain'.
These records were cut live too. Live in the studio. Many times the musicians didn’t even know the arrangement, they had to follow Bob, and if they couldn’t, they were out. A very fly by the seat of your pants with his recordings.
All-time great album. Every song is incredible, starting with the legendary Like a Rolling Stone and ending with the mind-blowing Desolation Row, and nothing but masterpieces in between.
1966 I was 12 yr old paper boy I had an old Zenith record player in my room. I remember using part of my monthly earnings to buy this LP. I felt like I had some deep connection to every song and word
Definitely need to check out "Masters of War", "Hurricane", "Lay Lady Lay", Positively 4th Street - I could go on and on - the story of our lives in Dylan's lyrics. . . .
The line: "Up on Housing Project Hill it's either fortune or fame You must pick one or the other, neither of them are to be what they claim" .. blew me away the first time I heard it when I was a teenager .. still does. #theMaster
When Deadheads chant "We want Phil" at shows they wanted Bassist Phil Lesh to sing this song. A rare treat in the old days. "I'm going back to New York City. I do believe I've had enough!" Thanks Teez.
@@jnagarya519 good Man I must disagree. Check out the dead do Dylan cd. Garcia as well with jgb. So much goodness there. The ballad of a thin man in Hampton 88 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KAZ4-Ed_52g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T-GnsnAt6SI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ru9efQketsA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFiIJ4vW2IU.html
Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, and great reaction. So glad you do songs like these that others have no clue about. Keep it up and best in the future.
It;s awonder that Bob isn't sampled more by rappers, given hi out of left field rhymes. Subterr-anean home sick blues, is straight up RAP !!!!! Somebody gotta cover it !!!
Definitely listen to his music from 1965-1966, and then his music from 1975-1976. Those are the stuff you like, I think. Based on what you've liked on these playlists. Keep it up.
Think I figured out why this guy's stuff gets through when so many others don't. I like to imagine some executive somewhere--- or even Bob himself saying.."this goes through, this MF'ef gets it, takes notes and all".
Dude, Bob is THE LYRICS! Especially the early Bob. Don't waste time on the music...he always had great musicians backing him... Bob Dylan IS the lyrics! Even new musicians. Al Kooper was one kind of musician, (a piano player) but he wanted in on one of Bob's tracks and so he jumped to a different instrument, (organ) unasked, and added to a mix. When the tape was played back, Bob liked what he heard and insisted it be kept in. Al Kooper became one of the most sought-after organ players an the time... In my NSHO Bob IS his lyrics! Props to you for digging Bob Dylan!!!
I’ve heard that the women in this song are all representative of different drugs. The first time I heard this was on the Royal Albert Hall bootleg, and this version is positively sleepy compared to that one, which he sings as though his life depends on it, with the Band thrashing and slashing away behind him as if possessed by demons. Pure punk rock.
Hey Teez, love this song and love your reaction. Dylan is such a deep rabbit hole, and I see you've reacted to a bunch so far. I was about 13 or 14 when I bought a Dylan greatest hits album and instantly fell in love with this one. "When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Easter time too..." - who comes up with a line like that? I quickly learned that when it came to lyrics Dylan really was the GOAT (years later a Nobel prize in literature kinda confirmed it) - pure poetry with flow, and sometimes difficult to figure out. Speaking of flow, I see you haven't yet reacted to Subterranean Homesick Blues, which some consider the first "rap" song. Check it out if you haven't, but frankly I'd settle for any of a couple of hundred Dylan tunes.
Buy the CD, usually we listened to the whole album, Hwy. 61 Revisited is perhaps his best album. Great reaction, you need to know that the backdrop to these songs was the Civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, and the vacuousness of American culture that provoked these sardonic lyrics.
This is Bob's kicking heroin song. He dabbled in the '60's apparently. Rain is Dylan's image for narcotics, uses it in a lot of songs. "Everybody is making love or else expecting rain" from Desolation Row. "The Rainman gave me two cures and he said, jump right in" Memphis Blues Again.
Just recite the Words :-) *** Been to see him twice he Rocks :-) !!! And Check out BOB DYLAN TANGLED UP IN BLUE AND THE WEDDING SONG :-) !!! Bring grown Men to tears :-) **** So cheers again and God Bless from your White Promoter from Sunny England :-) !!! I share you with everyone who's my Chosen Family :-) !!!! And do some FLOYD :-) *** Never forget !!!! THINK PINK THINK FLOYD :-) !!! A Song called TIME :-) !!! And COMFORTABLY NUMB :-) !! And Roberts your Father's Brother so Keep that Flow going :-) !!! I'm trying to represent :-) !!!! So Peace out :-) !!!
@@douglasleinbach6313yeah you're fairly right. A lot of my favourite Dylan songs aren't covered by the Dead. Still, it's a stirring sentiment if only to encourage debating its validity
It may also be that the norm, the market, was mono, not stereo. I remember when first hearing "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" in stereo, the harmonica reached out of the tweeter almost at a level with the rest of the music. He had been criticized by someone as not being able to play harmonica.
