Oh, BTW there is no 'lip sync' problem 'oh you people of little faith!' It's just that the whole audio-to-visual' is out by a second or two (nobody could lip-sync that bad, even if they tried).
@TheSmellyhat I have a recording of this entire concert and there is no discordance between the visual and aural track; it is this particular version which is out of synch.
AWESOME clip - thanks for this share!! Was the band in an accident? - some nasty-looking head injuries there (seriously, though, doesn't the 'experimental' head-dress just confirm how much jews and arabs are alike in appearance and demeanour???). Thanks again!
i'm highly doubtful that it was liip synched.... i've seen him live more than once and he doesn't sing in any way that can possibly be lip synched. Plus isn't he focused on that live perforance moment, where it can be different each time? I think he is the greatest!!!
@pkreutzer the subtitles appear to follow the lyrics of the album version. Bob was notorious for changing his own lyrics. For me, it's his voice that makes this version amazing.
I'll never forget my ninth birthday, when I received the new "Hard Rain" album 8-track tape as a gift. I think I listened to this number at least once daily. I didn't go for the whole album, but some renditions, like this one, were astonishing.
@CurtisMateer I am reading the book called "The Ballad of Bob Dylan" right now and the author says Sara was in the audience during this show and Bob and her were just about split up for good.
I've always wondered whether there was some kind of reference to Blowin in the Wind here. There is an intelligent holy wind of the times and there is fashionable bs.
@LeongBobby Ok lyrics? As far as Dylan's live vocals go, I'd say this vid would have to be considered great(much better than ok). I'm a huge fan so I'll sit through some of the more painful(less harmonic, unintelligible) vocals but i'm sure other "huge fans" have heard performances where you can barely make out the words he's singing, gotta love those performances too but I'd say a vid of this quality is a gem. Thank you for posting
@whentherope Pretty sure the poster is talking about the subtitled lyrics :) At least, that's what I think, because the subtitled lyrics have errors where letters should be and completely different wording.
The priest wore black on the 7th day and sat stone faced as the building burned. I waited for you on the running boards near the cyprus trees while the spring time turned. Sloooooowly into autumn.
I haven't heard all of Dylan's songs, but I've heard many and I think this is my favorite lyric of his, and so far my favorite lyric ever.
I took alot of English classes in college and read alot of poetry, but I don't think any of it hit me like a good Bob Dylan song.
@dablueman21 You can't understand him? Perhaps you're not listening closely enough. He is on tour now again and the 2011 tour videos and reviews are all over the internet. The reviews are great and his voice is perfectly clear. I heard a version of "Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking" that was so spectacularly rockin'.
@muclesmarinara I can understand him, and so can you, but that's because we know the lyrics. People who aren't as familiar with Dylan wouldn't understand him at all now. He is still and always will be a great poet, and that's what matters.
And no I have not turned my back on him at all. It's your opinion that his voice is fine, and you can stick with it.
@dablueman21 Well I mean he has never sung pretty. I am used to his voice being not that good and I am used to him changing his style every few years. I'm not completely convinced that his voice is as "shot" as he presents it because he has deliberately changed his voice in the past to put over a certain sound. A perfect example of this is how he sounded in Nashville Skyline using a country voice. Either way I will follow him and listen to him forever no matter what.
@DavidMSucher This was at Fort Collins in 1976 as part of the rolling thunder revue. Knowing that makes it easier to find other versions of this video since the ones on youtube tend to be taken down eventually.
the story goes that his ex wife sara was in the front row. This songs is so well written. this is why I love music. you can say things in song that you can't really say in real life. Like you're an idiot babe, its a wonder that you still know how to breath. my ex walked into the bar I was playing at and guess what song I decided to play next? at the top of my lungs hehe love you Bob
Can I just say THANK YOU for posting this again. However, the lyrics you posted, not so cool. What's cool about Bob, to me, is you never know what you're going to get. He sang this song, on this day, this way, for a reason.
No better version of this song. Bob is smokin' it. His band is on it. However, this video contains the Blood on the Tracks lyrics which in several cases are not the words he's singing here. Also, the audio track is out of sync with the video track. What a shame.
Bob Dylan is a fake and a phony!!!!
