Bob Dylan General

>>127118091 (OP)
Saw him live recently. Not sounding like he did in the 1960s obviously but he had a lot of energy. Also respect that he does the songs the way he wants to. It’s not karaoke

In 1975 I walked Bob Dylan up on stage

One day we will find proof of this

Why can't we just discuss based bob without a general, famalamalams?

>>127119197
because i couldn't think of a good prompt

One of the only good ones. I'd spare him, Lou, and Donald Fagen from the gas chambers

Box Dylan

I've always been curious to know what the weirdest thing that ever happened to Bob was-it's something Allen Ginsberg asked him here and it was clearly some private joke.
Guess we'll never know

Kek

so I only really listened to Highway 61 Revisited and kinda loved it.
Any suggestions what to check next? not feeling like going chronologically through 40 albums (holy crap). Surely there must have been some similar hits.
I checked some later stuff and especially life performances and it's just unlistenable now. When did it go wrong?

>Surely there must have been some similar hits.
not really no

Everything from Freewheelin' to John Wesley Harding, plus Blood on the Tracks and Desire, is essential to anyone from hardcore Dylanologists to casual fans. There are minor greats in his middle period, like New Morning and Planet Waves and Oh Mercy, and his Christian trilogy is not without its charms. If you want to check out Infidels and Empire Burlesque I suggest listening to the stripped Bootleg Series mixes instead. I personally love his late/modern period but I get it's not everyone's cup of tea. I even love the Sinatra albums.

I don't know, I haven't really thought about it...

>>127118695
Aka you followed him, only to be rushed off by security guards.

>>127120533
>not feeling like going chronologically through 40 albums (holy crap).
I'm doing just that (although I knew a few already) and trust me, it's 100% worth it.

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT A GREAT DEAL!

Ignore the titles-this is the correct order:

that guy was like everything bob was writing about in ballad of a thin man

Fun fact, back when I lived down in the boonies of southern Maryland as a preteen I was only a few miles away from the guy who killed Hattie Carroll. If I had been a Dylan fan then I would've tried to prank him into autographing the album.

What was it you wanted
Tell me again so I'll know
What's happening in there
What's going on in your show
What was it you wanted
Could you say it again
I'll be back in a minute
You can get it together by then
What was it you wanted
You can tell me I'm back
We can start it all over
Get it back on the track
You got why attention
Go ahead speak
What was it you wanted
When you were kissing my cheek
Was there somebody looking
When you gave me that kiss
Someone there in the shadows
Someone that I might have missed
Is there something you needed
Something I don't understand
What was it you wanted
Do I have it in my hand
Whatever you wanted
Slipped out of my mind
Would you remind me again
If you'd be so kind
Has the record been breaking
Did the needle just skip
Is there somebody waitin'
Was there a slip of the lip
What was it you wanted
I ain't keepin' score
Are you the same person
That was here before
Is it something important
Maybe not
What was it you wanted
Tell me again I forgot
Whatever you wanted
What can it be
Did somebody tell you
That you could get it from me
Is it something that comes natural
Is it easy to say
Why do you want it
Who are you anyway
Is the scenery changing
Am I getting it wrong
Is the whole thing going backwards
Are they playing our song
Where were you when it started
Do you want it for free
What was it you wanted
Are you talking to me

I think that guy wanted to make a skin suit out of Bob
