The full audio quality is seriously lacking on this video , I've heard the studio recording on the Warchild album, and it's excellent, when you consider the orginal was nothing more than a very straight forward blues number

[simodeemus]

I think what made the original unique is lost here. The song has become just another routine blues. But feel free to differ, that's just what I feel...

[tony0000]

When you get down to it, the song's probably just a routine blues song in reality. It's Dylan that makes it so great.

[simodeemus]

True.

Obviously you were at the Toronto show, I was at Montreal's. He also played this here, along with mgmt who he invited onstage for 4 songs, thanks for posting.

The image isn't the best, but the sound is decent. This is Beck's cover of Dylan's Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat, which will be released on the forthcoming HEROES album to benefit War Child.
