Bob Dylan What Was It You Wanted?

why wont he play this song LIVE in concert? I tgihnk he played it about 6 times in total.....in later 89/90 and then never again......he can stop playing a fewof the songs he plays over and over and play THIS great gem...

Bob - the amazing Bob Dylan. Great song/lyrics. Thank you!

Beautiful take, i almost prefer it, Thanks for posting.

i love the old-west melancholy his harmonica brings.

ok joeo whatever, there is not a shred of evidence in the song that it is about groupies. you are displaying your own crudeness, that is all.

he's right. that's pretty known. see one of the Rolling Stone magazine interviews with him, from a few interview issues back (3 or 4). he tells it.

Thanks for this, power2me5. You may be right. But I don't have the time or inclination to check the interview you refer to. I would need to see exactly what Dylan said before I was convinced.
The song itself provides not the slightest evidence that it is about groupies, am I right?

an amazing song from an amazing album!!

What's this outtake from? Is it on an available album?

From O Mercy album '89.Dylan is referring to the women groupies and the shallowness of such encounters in the music life. He cannot even keep their names straight . In Thunder In The Mountain he states that he has has had milk from 1000 cows. Ahh the hardships of Folk Rock celebrity.
