@GregWLocke I agree with you totally but if I saw him live I'd probably do the same

this makes my heart super happy!

I love ya, ladies, but you have to stop talking through every live music performance ever. It's becoming tedious to bare.

@goodmusicguy97 it's hard when playing a dylan song to not try to sing it like him
-
this is great!

@WINFIELD32750 This is not an official release. Quite hard to get. The live album is called "Live at 400 Club 10/11/1998". There are 19 tracks. You can see it on RateYourMusic.

@MercuryClock Wow you took the words out of my mouth!! Elliott covering Radiohead would be purely magical!

Holy shit this is awesome. One of my favorite musicians covering another of my favorite musicians. This is like just a step below Elliott covering Radiohead for me. Who would have thought that he could pull off such a passable impression of Dylan's singing voice?

the talking in the background combined with my noise canceling earbuds makes for a slightly neurotic listening experience

@beatlefreak777 This song is no easy task to learn and execute. Like many Dylan songs, there are a lot of words and its ALL about the words. Smith plays the parts incredibly well considering he probably just did this almost as a joke. Every band gets sick of their own songs eventually. The fact that Smith could offer his band this song and NAIL it is incredible to me.



All that is left is for Bob to cover Elliott. Unlikely, but a fella can dream can't he.

I don't think he's making fun of it, but he's imitating it definetly .
