Pj Harvey - Highway '61 Revisited - live in Chicago (Metro)

[arealOpia1991]

she sounds exactly like kim gordon when she shouts ... like when she says highway 

[peoniesfleur]

This is better than the original

[ibm650]

Kudos to PJ Harvey for showing how well "Highway 61" works in 3/4 time.

[bassemhumm]

I have to agree with the people that think this just sucks. This is as stated by Rockinghorserider, so bad on so many levels. Gotta hand it to the chick though, nobody else has ever butchered a Dylan tune to such a degree

@snowandrews This is a forum for people to comment on music, weather or not the comments are pro or con. If you don't like the negative comments, don't read them.

[karlvorderman]

May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene, 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man

[TheLisseyditonto]

this SUCKS only johnny winter rock this song

[Snowandrews]

So much negativity in the comments.

What is the problem,

if it aint your cup-of-tea simply got listen to something different.

Who needs you negativity in the comments ??

[Rockinghorserider1]

This is so BAD on so many levels.

[sngncwby]

Horrible!! Bob Dylan wrote the tune but Johnny Winter made it amazing. This chick needs Guitar lessons bad!!!

[keerza]

@sngncwby Johnny Winter's version (at least on the 30th Anniversary Show) was horrible. Needs guitar lessons? What would you like her to do? Whip out a few shreds?

[trashthedress]

one of the best 3P bands ever.... I love this album

[GaryNull]

The drums ruin her for me.

I like her voice and attitude but the drums are way too out.

He's playing his "fills" as the main riff and it's annoying,

to me anyway. He is way over playing and playing all over her voice.

He's a good drummer . . but he needs to lay back A LOT.

[budgethemusicsponge]

@GaryNull Rubbish!!! Drums are amazing on this! Excelllent drummer! They're the engine of the whole thing.

[zxcvnmtgb]

Rid of Me = Best album from PJ

[skateNappreciate]

dude this chick is amazing, if i was a teenager during the 90's, i wouldve had her posters all over my walls

[thatseverin]

.................. oh polly.

[glennopd]

I love the little smirk at the end as she turns from the mic...it's like she's saying...Yeah I am that fucking good and I fucking know it'......She's amazing!

[333begemot]

Next time you see me coming you better RUN!

[sublimeruca27]

this is very cool

[easylyrics2]

LYRICS for this song || EasyLyrics . org/?artist=P.j.+Harvey&title=­Highway+61+Revisited

[Zooropa420]

BTW Polly's guitar should be louder in the mix.

[fizzb100]

Rob Ellis is one of the most underrated musicians ever

[Zooropa420]

His stuff on this album (Rid Of Me) is some of the best rock drumming I've ever heard.

[emmagreenbean]

oh cmon, why do they HAVE to be compared? sure dylan can't rock out like polly, but polly could never write this, show respect for the both of them!

[alandpost]

Gotta love Rob Ellis on the drums.

[scorpiotimothy]

Fuck you Bob Dylan, you've been usurped.

[dimstar0625]

easy there scorpio...i loves me some polly jean.....but bob dylan is not able to be usurped

[oldalco]

@dimstar0625 yeah scorpio and few others don't realize the original was thematically fitted and perfectly produced at the time. obviously they've never seen his solo stage performances during the 70s.. more heated and choppy in arrangement just as the one above, and also a clip with tom petty and the heartbreakers in 84 i think. that time the beat was modified for outdoor 'arena rock'.. wonderful video.. sony removes it from youtube in a blink, but 5 will get you 20 that Pj drew energy from it.

[guitarman7asat]

This is one of the grittiest, most powerful versions of a Dylan song since XTC did "All Along the Watchtower"

[boofdahpoo]

LOVE her version of this song--in fact, the original sounds kinda pathetic compared to PJ's kick-ass version

[maynardminion]

Have you heard Bob Dylan's version?it's weak compared to this. PJ kicks the sh-t out of his version!! What exactly makes Bob Dylan "untouchable"? PJ is most likely paying tribute to an artist who inspired her, it's called a cover, and every great artist usually does it at some time, it's showing respect to those who inspired them, it's very respectful, and I'm sure Bob Dylan would be very honored and touched by this. No reason for you not to be able to like it, and enjoy it with the rest of us.

[U2Boob]

Thanks for this post! Heard it on a boot some time ago, glad to see it now. Seen PJ 4 times...lemme tell ya, the live versions of her own songs (and, just last month, John Parish, too) are a-m-a-z-i-n-g

[northernjerry]

Excellent version. Nice change from all the guitar heroes who always do his songs.

[inaciougly]

I don´t like this..becouse the music from the MASTER Bob Dylan its Untouchable..but i like very much Pj Harvey..

[charmbag]

Dylan is a great writer but PJ Harvey is 200x the performer. just because he's canonized doesn't make him untouchable. two greats coming together, what's to complain about

[numbsafari]

What makes Dylan a master? The fact that his music outlives his own performances and can stand up to the considerable talents of so many other musicians who not only recreate but fully reinterpret his work. So... get over yourself. I'm sure this is the sort of thing a guy like Dylan loves.

[miwakoJo]

there is no such thing like "untachable" in music, think of that, the great Bob's song "All along the watchtower" music is orginally wrote by Heandrix and lyrics are his (btw it's quite a colaboration)!)

And I think Bob is glad that his music is still alive also in some other artist lips and hearts

is like I see it.

[zincalloy2]

I'd vote this one of the best cover versions ever made.  Fantastic! The studio recording (on Rid Of Me) is absolutely stunning.

[MachaTevere]

Excellente cover, the drums sound really cool!

[proteinpornografi]

i love this song!

[proteinpornografi]

i haven't heard the original yet. but polly is amazing and so gorgeous.

[spotswoodthenewt]

Great version!

[antipyrene]

AWESOME! Best cover of a Dylan song ever done

[DerWhiteRabbit]

Bollocks, ain't you ever heard the Jimi Hendrix cover of All Along The Watchtower?

[antipyrene]

of course I've heard it...but IMHO Hendrix's cover is inferior to the original...PJ's cover is the only one that surpasses the original

[DerWhiteRabbit]

That's bollocks, Dylan himself said Hendrix's version of AATW was better.

[jgeston11]

dylan must have never seen this.

[malehawk]

so correct!
