Oh, yeah that's the one I was talking about. But like I said, that's not the full concert & it's out of order.

[Rossonero072213]

@bathroommonkey76

Was it 'In Concert'? Neither of the full shows has been released. Only certain songs. It sucks.

[blindingrunt]

Just brilliant from the poet master,no one can touch this mans genius.

[TomThumbsBlues1965]

i love this even more than the studio recording, just perfect :)

[drinkingpoolwater]

i want this played at my funeral.

[Dave897456]

@drinkingpoolwater Ok. No problem. We will make sure! Do you have a date set?

[Rossonero072213]

Dylan/Sony have to release the Carnegie & the Town Hall concerts soon!

[Dave897456]

I hope that somebody posts the studio version! Please!

[UTubist512]

This is wonderful! I have this '63 Carnegie Hall CD- a "bootleg" disc given to me as an offhand bonus to another Dylan CD i was purchasing. I've enjoyed this one more! 

[ameckst1]

I've always loved this song since I heard it for the very first time as The Byrds' cover-version, back in early 1966. But this is the best version.  It's the emotion that is so clear.

Thanks for posting this! It's wonderful.

Dylan's studio version, as I recollect, is less adventerious in his phrasing. More stately, anthem-like.

[chillroom]

This IS the Carnegie Hall 26 October 1963 version. Note that the vision is almost pantheistic, seeing god in nature. Note the structure, verses and chorus the same pattern. What a fabulous song, and this is cleaner than the acetate I've had for ages. D's phrasing is perfect, flawless. I love this.

This IS the Carnegie Hall 26 October 1963 version.

[laddiemcmasters]

This song is played during the closing credits of *No Direction Home*, the Scorcese film from a few years ago. You can get it from iTunes.

[Labienus]

@laddiemcmasters Yes-but is that the studio version, or this one?

I thought I knew all of the early Dylan-but hardly a cultist-but never heard this until the Scorsese film-some strartling imagery here

[Labienus]

Is this the only recording of the song that Dylan himself did?

This is the unreleased studio? Did he ever sing it in concert?

[lizmil]

Play this to anyone who says that Dylan can't sing.



[spazhat]

There is a studio recording of this song. It was included on an Italian bootleg(?) that I owned years ago.  If you own a copy, please post it. I listened to the song so many times that I heard it in my sleep soI sold the LP unfortunately.

@bathroommonkey76 humans have to cry at songs that aren't sad?!

[BoobyMcDoogle]

I stood unwound beneath the skies and clouds unbound by laws, the crying rain like a trumpet sang, and asked for no applause. What a line.

[whetstraw]

Hadju's assumptions are ridiculous.

[quad1000]

Fierce and awesome.

[djkovalik123]

According to the book "Positively Fourth Street" by David Hadju, Dylan wrote this song while he was living with Joan Baez in California. He suggested that it was about her.

[4l4ddin77]

No voice can hope to hum.

[astrolog7000]

Marvelous! Marvelous!

[astrolog7000]

Wonderful! Makes me cry! So beautiful! Marvelous! It rearranges my brain cells. I don't think I've ever heard such a beautiful song.

[astrolog7000]

Even the words are beautiful, even without the music. This is pure inspiration. I think it's wonderful, and thanks for posting it.

[21dandandan12]

where can i find this version? This isn't the one on biograph. I like this one better

[zzscotty]

This song is on CD1 of the 3 CD boxed set collection "Biograph." As far as I know, it never appeared on an original album--only on this collection.

[Nicotineuh]

@zzscotty

this song and in live at canergie hall , 1963

[zzscotty]

@Nicotineuh

Thanks for the information.

[Nicotineuh]

@zzscotty

Effectivement elle ce trouve aussi dans "biograph" mais ce n'ai pas la même version ;) =)

Celle ci et bien la version qui ce trouve dans live at carnegie hall 1963!

Really it it also finds in " biograph " but it's not the same version .

that her and definitely version of carnegie hall 1963 =)

Désolé pour mon anglais désastreux ^^

[brando92346]

@zzscotty Correct, but this is not the performance from "Biograph." The "Biograph" performance was an outtake from the 1964 album "The Times They Are A-Changin'" I believe this may be from the "Witmark Demos", which were recorded a little earlier. This is IMHO one of Dylan's most beautiful songs in lyric and melody.

[brando92346]

@brando92346 Woops, no there's clapping, so it's not Witmark.  Carnegie hall?

[TheJessical1]

I love this song because it is way beyond beautiful. I give it two thumbs up!!!!

[zoeruls]

this is my favorite song by dylan... it's just beautiful

[puckf17]

Thank you, thank you for this vid! Huge Dylan fan!
