“You’ve got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend.”
“You just want to be on the side that’s winning.”
“You have no faith to lose and you know it.”

The lesson of Positively 4th Street is never get on the wrong side of Bob Dylan.

I don’t listen to the audience tapes, especially if I’m going to see the show in person, so was happy to hear the RARW songs again because they are great. Having said that, I suspect that might be my last RARW show. I enjoyed it but probably don’t need to see it for a fifth time.

Dylan Revisited @dylanrevisited.bsky.social · 1d

I have no issue with the delivery. Dylan has always adopted voices – this is his latest and I like that it’s so theatrical. It suits the new songs and the older material that he has chosen to perform. But missing the mic so often is just sloppy.

Excellent. Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah, pretty accurate. It was dark and the Masterpiece-Black Rider-My Own Version section was a highlight. Heard the Key West heckle but not what they said.

Dylan Revisited @dylanrevisited.bsky.social · 3d

Hah - at first I thought he was laughing a lot as well but then - hack - started to think he was just clearing his throat. Lot more guitar playing than usual and it sounded great - though at times tricky to tell what he's actually playing when he's got his back to you.

Bob Dylan at the Brighton Centre was truly lovely. It’s hard to create at atmosphere in a crappy aircraft hanger venue, but the lack of anything to see meant I found myself listening with my eyes shut for most of the set - accompanied by the most divine onstage chemistry.

Decent take as well - thanks for the tip.

Dylan Revisited @dylanrevisited.bsky.social · 4d

That's some excellent writing. And you're dead on with the final point that the disdain in other hands would come across as unnecessarily negative but here it's affirming in its energy and creativity.

Blowin' In The Wind has been and always will be an anthem for one thing: enjoying an ice cold can of bud.

You’re right - it’s an intro that grabs you. Makes you think the song will be sweeter than it turns out.

That perfect melodic introduction to a perfect pop single, and so indelibly of that year. It was completely part of everything in the charts then. (Says one who was there.)

Fuelled by spite and filled with quotable insults, Bob Dylan's 1965 single Positively 4th Street is a pugnacious and very hummable lyrical assault.

If you're enjoying Through the Open Window, you might like my revisit to the 1962 show at Gerde's Folk City where Bob Dylan played Blowin' in the Wind for the first time.

The full set is on Disc 3 of Bootleg Vol. 18.

Dylan Revisited @dylanrevisited.bsky.social · 12d

On April 16th 1962, Bob Dylan played a short set at Gerde's Folk City in New York, where he debuted three new songs that he would soon record for his second album, The Freewheelin’.

One of them would become perhaps the most significant he ever wrote. 🧵

My favourite bit was when he barged into Mbappé while getting into position before a corner. Just for the hell of it.

From Samatha Harvey's excellent Orbital...if cosmic time was a calendar year, all this happened in the last second before midnight on Dec 31st.

Nice to see Bob in there. And Johnny Cash.
