My little brother and I are big Dylan fans. We both thought then and now that the born again albums were some of the best work he’d ever done. Very energized with strong vocals and music.
When I need inspiration, I turn to Dylan, thank you Bob and love your reaction and musical appreciation of a true genius, you are spreading the word / Truth to younger generations
A lot of people hated Dylan when he went Gospel. I have seen Bob Dylan 6 times live and never once did he play a song the same as the previous time. He would change the lyrics on the spot, go from 3/4 to 4/4 time in the middle of a song. He did what he wanted to when he wanted to. If you were expecting Dylan to do what pleased you forget it! Be thankful we had such a musical genius in our time. The 6 times I saw him he played "Tangled up in Blues" each time. He changed the lyrics 4 of those times, he also changed the pace of the song. Never once did it sound like the album recording. Once during his gospel stage he actually added Bible references to the song. Its easy to find different versions on the song just do some searching. The man is amazing. I have a huge book called Bob Dylan ALL THE SONGS, it gives a brief story behind every track. Dylan has written over 500 songs recorded by over 2000 different artist. Still to day Bob Dylan is covered by many artist during their concerts. I love Bob and what he gave us and I am grateful to have been alive during this time.
I've heard at least 8 different "Tangled" Lyrics from live recordings and personal shows. And you're absolutely right. When you go to a Dylan show, drop all expectations. If you want young Bobby, stay home and enjoy some vinal. If you want to go to a show expect to see an 80 Y.O. living legend being himself. The last time I saw Bob live (2016) was my 10th show and my daughter's first. Mavis Staples opened for him. He was into "crooner" covers at the time (i.e. Frank Sinatra). So after several slow covers, brand new songs and only two classics (She Belongs to Me, Tangled Up In Blue), about half the audience got up and left at set break. The rest of us "true Dylan Heads" stayed put and enjoyed the 21st Century setlist with no "original classics." The oldest Dylan song in the 2nd set was from 2001 "High Water (for Charlie Patton)" He Encored with "Blowin in the wind" AND Love Sick." Hope to see him in the summer though.
@@augustinewestley7310 Exactly don't expect anything you recognize at a Dylan concert. I as well saw him in 2016. I went with my two daughters their first Dylan show also. They both love Dylan and didn't care one bit they couldn't understand a word he said. When in the presence of greatness you adapt and appreciate what you are seeing and what he gave us. Dylan nowadays in a tuxedo and cowboy hat. Just sad these days he very very very rarely plays the guitar
Really really lucky we still have him. His voice is gone but he can still move me. Last saw him in 96 or so just b4he almost died from that viral thing. Afterwards he said he thought he was gonna see Elvis. He re-ignighted something after that and finally for the first time in his "famous life"he got used to being"Bob Dylan" and slowly settled in to the wonderful performer we still get today. Every time I drop the needle on"Like A Rolling Stone"and I hear that snare drum kick off from the start, I'm freaking 19yrs.old again and all is right with the universe. God bless Bob Dylan!!!
What a artist, folk, blues, rock, gospel, big band, jazz, protest, the biggest artist in the world with the beatles. But when it came to lyrics and phrasing, imagery, nobody came close. When he sings about pain loss, and love you can feel it in his voice, you believe him it's like he's talking me/you, for me that's the difference I believe DYLAN I believe every word. Bobby Neuwirrh got right, that the fans came to Dylan Dylan never went to the fans, he did what he wanted to do not what was the thing at the time, nobody was doing what Dylan was doing,don't think they could, many had a go.
First heard this in '94 I'm one of the biggest Bob Dylan fans of my generation but this rendition always moves me. Regardless of what he eventually termed his"religious thing"he was totally feeling the spirit on this one. Always gets me thinking.
"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.": -- Philippians 3:14. That's what he's singing about. Please keep reacting to later Dylan.
Making changes you got it, someone said the fans came to BOB DYLAN he never did the "cool" thing what was in at the time. DYLAN just went what was in his heart. And he smashed it, some of the best Christian songs written. DYLAN was never scared to be different, you would never know what kind of album you would get from him.
Yes, sure, the composer, out on the limb of a new #, back-up choir shaking the family tree, to the roots--very well, pressin' on & hangin' on. Yet...years later, SLOW TRAIN COMING has the mos def fruit filled tree on life version, by a single dude in a 5 ft studio box. Transcendent.
This was excellent thank you for listening to my suggestion, I still think you could do the Chicago Mass Choir version with Dottie Peoples as a comparison reaction and it would still work nicely.and I think you should react to one of the songs from the new cd Rough and Rowdy Ways, important to remind people he is still out there working every night. Now that you have listened to my suggestions about Dylan, I hope now you will tackle Tom Waits, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping. Thanks Larry
He had a very big impact with Blowin In The Wind.. And he fought against his fans and made the music he wanted to make when he switched gears.. endured all the booing and held his ground.
Hi Chod, i love Dylan, but was not a big fan of his christian period, but the album 'slow train coming' is brilliant, listen to 'precious angel' and 'i believe in you' from that album, both beautiful songs, beautifully sung, they will give you goosebumps!!
Funny you should say that. I share your belief, but I have often thought the same thing. I would like to believe there's an afterlife and a heaven and all that good shit and if anyone would have any kind of chance to sway me, it would be Bob.
Bob makes the entire audience feel United and angry. Luckily he was anti violence. I remember walking out of the Fair feeling like I had a connection to the entire crowd
Please check out a Dylan folk contemporary from the 60s, Phil Ochs (pronounced Oaks). A number of his songs are incredibly powerful and reflect the problems of that era: "I Ain't Marching Anymore" (an anti-war anthem); "Too Many Martyrs" (about the murder of Medgar Evers); "Here's to the State of Mississippi" (about the murders of three civil rights workers there); "Knock on the Door" (about dictatorships that eliminate their enemies); "I'm Gonna Say It Now" (about freedom of speech--especially on campuses); and "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends" (bitter sarcasm about people's unwillingness to get involved). He's largely been forgotten since he tragically died in 1976, but is well worth a listen.
Yep, Phil was more overt in his protestblyrics than Dylan. Rehearsal For Retirement, Outside of a Small Circle of Friends, and Flower Lady are a few of my favorites, too.
you need to listen to the album version, I love the live ones, but I think that one is unsurpassed... also check Solid Rock when it comes to gospel, and Precious Angel
Richard Hawley, You Haunt Me is one haunted sounding song but lovely. Would you be so kind as to listen to the song? Want to know if I'm the only one out there whose crazy enough to love the haunting music.
It was during this period that I first started hoping that he would make a Christmas album. Again, many people ragged on him in 2009 for releasing a Christmas album, but it’s great (I have about 80 Christmas albums from everybody, so I know). I’m also a big Standard Jazz fan, so his detour into that genre was an initial letdown (not so much him, but the band), however, by the time he got to Triplicate, his take on Standard Jazz was as good as anybody. When it was released, I listened to it from start to finish everyday for a couple of months (the gravitas resonates for him, in the same way Unforgiven does for Clint Eastwood).
love his gospel songs..some of the greatest gospel by anyone...
Agreed!
The best. He wasn't Christian for long, but he was intense into it.
What an insane song. Pure, unconstrained gospel. Direct from the soul.
He did what he wanted to do, pop, Rock, gospel, big band, folk , blue's no one else was doing what he was doing in the 60s years ahead
One of my fav bob songs ever and today I really need to hear it
Bob's rebirth is so great!
Love this version, had not heard it before, the song saved is a masterpiece , inspired
My little brother and I are big Dylan fans. We both thought then and now that the born again albums were some of the best work he’d ever done. Very energized with strong vocals and music.
Dude, listening to Bob Dylan while wearing a Gentle Giant shirt….wow, much respect.
This was beautiful. I like Dylan singing gospel. The back up singers were glorious.
I first heard this when I was 13 in 1982
When I need inspiration, I turn to Dylan,
thank you Bob and love your reaction and musical appreciation of a true genius,
you are spreading the word / Truth to younger generations
A stunner of a closing number in the concert.

I believe Bob Dylan’s closed many of his Concerts during the 1979-1981 (Religious Period) with this Song
Love the T-shirt Unexpected!!
I love Dylan's gospel period. I'd love if you did "When He Returns" live version.
Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street !
First heard this in '94
I'm one of the biggest Bob Dylan fans of my generation but this rendition always moves me. Regardless of what he eventually termed his"religious thing"he was totally feeling the spirit on this one. Always gets me thinking.
Another impassioned song from Mr Dylan. Great stuff! Another great one you could listen to from the same period is "I Believe in You".
Take a look at his metal welding artworks, and his paintings on exhibits. The guy's a creator.
Would love to hear you reaction to Changing of The Guard. Studio version
"When he Returns" please
I'm subscribed because I like you!
Listen to the song saved the first verse just blows me away how does it come up with these lyrics
Excellent young sir.
Please react to: Shot of Love; Ring Them Bells. THANK YOU!
"I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.": -- Philippians 3:14. That's what he's singing about. Please keep reacting to later Dylan.
In the summer time
Beautiful!✌❤
Awesome gospel❤😂❤
Precious Angel and Ring Them Bells are my two favorite from his Christian phase

Dylan here is quoting the Apostle Paul who in Philippians 3: 14 spoke of pressing on.
Check out the studio version, sometime! Peace
He had a very big impact with Blowin In The Wind.. And he fought against his fans and made the music he wanted to make when he switched gears.. endured all the booing and held his ground.
Especially when he converted to Christianity.

Wow! I've never heard this live version -- where is it from? That's The League of Extraordinary Backup Singers!

Has to be one of the Warfield shows
MURDER MOST FOUL. GREAT!
Sends chills down my neck listening to “Murder Most Foul”
I'm an atheist, but Bob Dylan would be the one person who would make me believe again, but not tonight and it won't be here. 😁
Funny you should say that. I share your belief, but I have often thought the same thing. I would like to believe there's an afterlife and a heaven and all that good shit and if anyone would have any kind of chance to sway me, it would be Bob.

Seconded. Love Ochs

Dylan was always close to God even when he didn't know it.
Dylan said one time people who call me genius don't have any grandparents
dude! can you please do Dylan live 1980 Toronto What can i do for you?
you need to listen to the album version, I love the live ones, but I think that one is unsurpassed... also check Solid Rock when it comes to gospel, and Precious Angel
Few words. Big message.

Just goes to show the devil doesnt have all the best tunes. Which is pretty rich coming from an old atheist like me
I also like the church vibe. You might like Melanie & The Edwin Hawking Singers "Lay Down"
th-cam.com/video/IZ52lk9wjZI/w-d-xo.html
The studio version is better
There was definitely a backing singer out of key.
I always like Dylan, but I think his Christian period was his weakest. Still, this was one of the really good ones.
This one just made me think of the times playing drums in the church and that old church sound.
Quite untrue.
'Saving Grace', 'When He Returns', 'What Can I Do For You' and 'Property of Jesus' are also great songs from Bob's Christian albums.
Loads of great, great songs from that period: among them are When He Returns, Saving Grace, Every Grain Of Sand, I Believe In You and Precious Angel…
Well, Dylan’s weakest is still monumental.
Too bad you probably couldn't get the approval to post the album version of "Pressing On"
And Bob born a Jew...
I skipped this period with Bob.
Jesus can save ANYONE, ANYWHERE.
