[dylansox]

@twothphary that's why every artist worth anything in the music industry would give their right arm to appear with dylan or cover one of his songs.idiot.

[dylansox]

Unbelievable!!!!!!!

To much still shot shit !! I wanna see the screen move!

[rickbandana]

Those youtube motherfuckers have just erased the original version, but we still have this great one, anyway.

Thanks for sharing.

I was at one of the goteborg gigs and it was among the best of a lifetime, by anyone. (The Budokan record was a real disappointment for me.) Do you know if there's any recording of the long acoustic solo section of the shows? I think most of us were in tears during that.

Dylan is the Best of the lot!

[pissak1]

He is one of our times prophets...with just a little doubt but sure one of our times best poets...

Can you cook and sow make flowers grow?

[sixtieswarbler]

Thanks - so hard to find on You Tube. This is such a brilliant performance of this song. Much better than the album. Is there a CD containing live performance?

[CoolCrazyAtheist]

This is a composer that makes cry!

[Keepholder]

@CoolCrazyAtheist You're right, the composer actually cries. 

[123jsbach]

fuck i feel your pain bob! not just on account of the intonation...........

[truetolife100]

You may be right-Sara the etherial goddess that fought for his soul in the night how could anyone think she would sell him out? and she never has. I can't imagine her pain when Bobby caught the "horse-playing disease"But I like to think they are still deeply in love enjoying their children and grandchildren together.Bob wrote his family was his light I suspect it still is and anyways I believe in fairy tales coming true.

[MyAlberto59]

This song is beautiful......are you too fast to see that i must have solitude?...i could dedicate those words to my wife...i'm sure he was speaking to hers when he wrote that song.Anyway...he can go deep inside....and then he can go deeper...and that's fucking surprising. I love this guy.

[hannisdal]

Thank you so much. I was there the second night and missed this one.

[jonmorr777]

Street legal is an Awesome Album very under- rated , but I think Señor is the best song Bob ever wrote ;-) the guy is a Frigging Genius !!

[Pmitsou123]

FANTASTIC performance!

[laurita0]

why is this song so difficult to found?

[truetolife100]

I have a feeling this isn't about Sara but rather another woman in Bobby's life.

This is such a heart felt version. Thank you for posting. This and"Baby Please Stop Crying" are two of my favorites on Street Legal..a great album.

How can so much pour out of one man?

[ohiodixiechick2]

@truetolife100 I'm thinking it's about Sara mostly because of the line, "And you cook and sew, make flowers grow. Do you understand my pain?" Their custody battle lingered on for years & he referred to Sara as being able to do all these things before. The pain here is definitely evident. I guess we shall never know, but whoever it is has givrn him some serious pain!

[ohiodixiechick2]

GREAT PERFORMANCE!

A year after his divorce. Sounds like Dylan is pouring his heart out here. One of his son's said his father's life is in many of his songs. Maybe this is what has helped him heal & carry on?? I feel guilty reaping the benefits of his pain, but the lyrics here are is so emotional & touching!

[kunnukun]

"Street Legal" has always been underestimated.

[BarbecueBobFan]

@kunnukun I agree, I think it was one of his best albums of the 70's. Great lyrics throughout.

[sverige1001]

YES YES YES! Satan Kom igen BOBBAN

[mtsongs]
