  • 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 .

  • @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.
