The best friend I ever had played this for his mom a week before he died. Then they played it at his funeral. We spoke everyday throughout the day. I'm missing you Jake.
Absolute genius. Just been listening to "The Girl From The Red River Shore", and equally affected by that. Almost tragic that in the mainstream world Bob will be (rightly) lauded and remembered for Blowing In The Wind, Times They Are A-Changing, Like A Rolling Stone etc, but these latterday masterpieces will remain somewhat under the radar.
I would sit through the netirety of the session recordings,flubs, out takes, feedback errors, everything so I could see how perfection like this came to be.
The popping dual guitar and sublime bass brings some imagery of traveling and motion to this version of 'Mississippi'. The lyrics involve the Storyteller walking, falling, following, crossing a river, sinking, drowning and moving. Bob Dylan is a master of juxtaposition, bringing two contrasting elements close, for example I’m drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it’s light and it’s free Grateful to see so many incredible outtakes and live versions over the years.
Yes, but I miss this part "I'm standing in the shadows with an aching heart I'm looking at the world tear itself apart Minutes turned to hours, hours turned to days I'm still loving you in a million ways"
I like Bob Dylan's music, I love his stories, I always take note of his great advice, it has keep me out of trouble and alive for all of these years. Thanks Bob
Wow. This' been one of my absolute favorite songs of his since I first heard it well over 10 years ago. The "Talking Blues" style of this take is just haunting to me.
Nicholas, I've been listening to Bob Dylan For Year's & I Was Just Wondering If I Had Missed A Song That Has What You've Written Under: What A Genius & The Rest Of It Or Was That Something That You Had Written?? Because I Didn't Know Which One It Was But I REALLY LIKED THAT ALOT!! Sound's Like How I Feel Because I've Got To Find A Place For My Dog Daughter Cheyenne & I & Haven't Had Any Luck. And I've Definitely Painted Myself In A Corner (Literally). Thank's Just Wasn't Sure Who It Was?
I love this song.. This particular version is one of the very few of the millions of music that the industry released in the last decades... that fill my soul.!❤️
The first time I went to Mississippi was visceral, physical. I had gone down to the Choctaw rez near Philadelphia, MS. to escort my grandma's widowed sister Joan to take her back home to us. I was raised in Oklahoma and had been to Vietnam by then and can't recall a place as unnerving as Mississippi in the early 1970's.
This hit the record stores on 9/11/2001. Store opened at 9:00am. I'm waiting for it to open...when the airplanes hit the Twin Towers. "Sky full of fire; pain pouring down". Broke me up then. Breaking me down now...
I remember waiting for it’s released date. The events of that morning made we want to hear it even more. I went to a nearly deserted Target store on my lunch hour and bought it.
Life there's to sprise you. You know I would have loved you in life but I have to balance my own feelings towards you. I can only send you blessings because I want to.
Only one thing he ever got wrong was an overstay in Mississippi, and even then it was only by one day. Otherwise an unblemished record dating back 60 years now
Comparto mi interpretación para los hispanoparlantes: "Mississippi" Paso a paso avanzamos por el buen camino Tus días están contados, los míos también El tiempo se apila, luchamos y nos desesperamos Estamos rodeados, sin lugar a dónde huir La ciudad es una jungla repleta de juegos Estoy atrapado en el medio tratando de escapar Fui criado en el campo, vine a trabajar a la ciudad Me metí en problemas apenas apoyé mi valija No tengo nada para tí, no tenía nada antes Ni siquiera tengo algo para mí mismo El cielo está en llamas y el dolor está lloviendo No hay nada que puedas venderme, te veré por ahí Mis poderes de expresión y pensamiento tan sublimes jamás podrían hacerte justicia, en rima o en razón Hay solo una cosa que hice mal Me quedé en Mississippi un día de más El Diablo está en el callejón, la mula está en el establo Cúentame lo que quieras, ya lo escuché todo Estaba pensando en las cosas que Rosie dijo Estaba soñando que dormía en la cama de Rosie Voy caminando por las hojas que caen de los árboles Me siento como un extraño que nadie puede ver Hay tantas cosas que nunca podremos deshacer Sé que lo lamentas, yo lo lamento también Alguna gente te ofrecerá su mano, y otra no Ayer te conocía, hoy no te conozco Necesito algo que distraiga mi mente Voy a mirarte hasta que mis ojos enceguezcan Llegué aquí siguiendo la estrella del norte Crucé el río solo para estar contigo Hay solo una cosa que hice mal Me quedé en Mississippi un día de más Mi barco está hecho astillas y se hunde rápidamente Me estoy ahogando en el veneno, no tengo futuro ni pasado Pero mi corazón no está cansado, es ligero y es libre No tengo más que afecto por quienes navegaron conmigo Todo el mundo se está yendo, si es que no llegaron ya Todo el mundo tiene que irse a algún lugar Quedáte conmigo, nena, quédate como sea Las cosas están a punto de ponerse muy interesantes Mi ropa está mojada, pegada a mi piel Tan pegada que apenas me puedo mover Sé que la fortuna está esperando para serme amable Así que dame tu mano y dime que serás mía El vacío es infinito, frío como la arcilla Siempre se puede volver, pero no se puede volver del todo Hay solo una cosa que hice mal Me quedé en Mississippi un día de más.
No time to think so busy sorting cars money hotels blah blah. Think I’ll go back to tonight’s place and hit the beach. It’ll probably be snowing by tonight. Fours seasons every day here.
The wind here which isn’t in Mississippi doesn’t whistle, it squeals. Like a thousand hungry infants. But it’s not in pain or in need of anything. Wonderful view. In Ireland which would cost four times what it is here. And actually I like the people here more. The light is fantastic. Might even be able to read without my glasses. That has only happened in last forty years on Greek beaches. Optician understands why. I don’t. Going to try to have a nice evening. Might invite my buddies (the young female staff up later for a wee party. Got a lot of gin) here when they stop work. Have even been told smoking is OKAY!!!! on the balcony. Back to mid 70s prices, customs, manners, sense of fun. X
Turn triangle up side down. The bottom is big and big enough for town than country. Oh sweetheart. I fuse to much. Cracking up. The bottom is big than the top. Thier more muck on the bottom of oh mercy me.
Obviously losing my mind in this lay-by. Or mislaid it. I’m on 72 not 78. But it’s a great year 72. Especially Elvis Always on my mind and Johnny A thing called love. X
Always wondered are they called lay-bys cos that’s where young people in cars go to get laid. No idea. I once did it in a royal crescent in the beautiful city of Bath with a West Country boy. In 86 I think. In a camper Van his dad owned ffs. First time I’d been to Bath and Bristol and Somerset. Beautiful down that way. Was thinking I might go to Avalon etc but can do feck all til I get a few hundred into my account. If my brother doesn’t sort this today, and he’s the only shred of hope left in the mess of my sibs, then, it’s all out war with them. All of them.
Sitting in a lay-by wondering how come that song from 78 I was listening to as I left the bay this morning is failing me now. It was, well it is a bright sun shining day, but feck. I have a financial shortfall by the morning. Car repair is much more than I’d bargained for. Hotel. Boat. Petrol n food til I get home. Asked the executors to give me the money my dad wanted me to have. But they just love playin games and watching me suffer the sickos. Withholding. Wtf is wrong with these two oldest siblings of mine. Had to threaten my solicitor again if they don’t give me by teatime what’s mine. Car has to be fixed before I get to Eire. Other friends will help with a hundred here n there but that’s gonna take loads of calls and I’d rather just get my own money. My father would kill them today for this. If only he could. Jeezus. I’ll go listen to Baby Stop Crying from 78. I now so want her to start crying and never fuckin stop. Deirdre of the Sorrows. In the end she dashed out her brains on a rock.
The best friend I ever had played this for his mom a week before he died. Then they played it at his funeral. We spoke everyday throughout the day. I'm missing you Jake.
There's nothing that can compare to the genuine and honest way of Dylan. I am so in awe of his incomparable genius.

Bob Dylan is a master of juxtaposition, bringing two contrasting elements close, for example
I’m drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it’s light and it’s free
Grateful to see so many incredible outtakes and live versions over the years.
The best version for sure
yes! i had to find this version to show someone my favorite modern dylan song
I love it. But the official release still cuts it. Brings out the melody more
Yes, but I miss this part "I'm standing in the shadows with an aching heart
I'm looking at the world tear itself apart
Minutes turned to hours, hours turned to days
I'm still loving you in a million ways"
@@Cezaresable Which version is that on?
Yes.
I like Bob Dylan's music, I love his stories, I always take note of his great advice, it has keep me out of trouble and alive for all of these years. Thanks Bob
Wow. This' been one of my absolute favorite songs of his since I first heard it well over 10 years ago. The "Talking Blues" style of this take is just haunting to me.
This is a masterpiece.
This is the best recording of a very good song.
This ol Bob floors me every day. Thanks for the post.
So simple yet perfect
everytime I hear this I think I've died and gone to heaven
What a genius
My clothes are wet
Tight on my skin
not as tight as the corner
That I’ve painted myself in
^a literary genius
I can’t begin to describe how brilliant this guy is so I won’t. Genius.

Nicholas, I've been listening to Bob Dylan For Year's & I Was Just Wondering If I Had Missed A Song That Has What You've Written Under:
What A Genius & The Rest Of It Or Was That Something That You Had Written?? Because I Didn't Know Which One It Was But I REALLY LIKED THAT ALOT!! Sound's Like How I Feel Because I've Got To Find A Place For My Dog Daughter Cheyenne & I & Haven't Had Any Luck. And I've Definitely Painted Myself In A Corner (Literally). Thank's Just Wasn't Sure Who It Was?
Man this version hits so godamn hard
Precisely right. Best way to put it.
For me, the definitive version. Simpler is better.
"I Look at you ' till my eyes go blind* what else can you say..this Mississippi is a deep River full of Desire and passion
I love this song.. This particular version is one of the very few of the millions of music that the industry released in the last decades... that fill my soul.!❤️
Bob What more can I say You're brilliant this song is just perfect.
'i know you're sorry. I'm sorry too'
It's simple but so, so relatable.
The best version by far of one of Bob’s very best songs. Might even be my favorite. And that’s saying a lot.
Astonishing.
Our man Bob
OMG. Best version ever. Thanks for the post 👌
I have been to Mississippi. 💜💝💝 I did not stay a day too long. 💝💝💔 I soon turned north and I was gone. 💕💕💕
From my favorite Dylan Cd
Blonde and Blonde and Time out of Mind tied for me. Both are 6 stars out of 5 cannot decide which I like more .
So solid......
Masterpiece
This is the superior version of this song IMHO.
Nope
@@punchypizzainpizza6616 LOL. How do you know what my opinion is?
Which one then?
You certainly are entitled to your opinion. It's pretty good, but IMHO the "official" is better
This is the best Dylan song
Bob Dylan 😊
OH G Really Love This Song
Every Thing About This Version
Just Fantastic
🌸🌸🧡🧡🧡🧡🌸🌸
Best version
I guess this when he paints his masterpiece.
Incredible voice.
Love it love it🎉🎉🎉😢
He's DEFINITELY A Worldwide Extraordinar With Extraordinarily Music 🎵🎶 For The Masse's!!
My brother shed this light on me , I guess 20 years ago..... Lighting strikes my blood and my veins experience a lifetime of living
Don't miss THIS ONE. TOP SHELF!
So sweet

Thank you That was a first hearing, for me and I loved it.
💯%
I've been waiting for this to get on TH-cam. Bootleg series vol 8 is the shit. This song is the best
Red River Shore, Can't Wait plus most others on this album are best versions
sublime
Meraviglia❤❤❤

Cuánta verdad! Uno a veces se gana problemas por quedarse un día más en un lugar, en una casa, una hora más...

Every step of the way we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape
We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape
City's just a jungle, more games to play
Trapped in the heart of it, trying to get away
I was raised in the country, I been workin' in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
Got nothing for you, I had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
Sky full of fire, pain pourin' down
Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around
All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall
Say anything you want to, I have heard it all
I was thinkin' about the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed
Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feeling like a stranger nobody sees
So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too
Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need somethin' strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind
Well, I got here following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long
Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drownin' in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me
Everybody movin' if they ain't already there
Everybody got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now
My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know that fortune is waitin' to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine
Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

peak dylan!
Life there's to sprise you. You know I would have loved you in life but I have to balance my own feelings towards you. I can only send you blessings because I want to.
Fuckin beautiful summer’s day here now. Was winter this morning.
"You cannot ever tell exactly what time it is. Sound doesn't travel fast enough to allow so." ,dan'
Almost feels like the only reason the other version was the final is bc someone wanted to say I produced this. This simple version is superior.
Only one thing he ever got wrong was an overstay in Mississippi, and even then it was only by one day. Otherwise an unblemished record dating back 60 years now
This is for the gourmet listener. So sad that the Mainstream will never understand
What have you learned and learning is never wrong. After learning you can choice really choice. Then their life first for us all. All one
Feel like a stranger nobody sees….

So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too

You cant Jugde someone you dontknow !!!Bob dyln is a insparation to million ...
Bob is a great artist and his own psychologist... All things are wrong he make a song...
A great thought. We should all be more like Dylan.
@@loriscunado3607 Oh, Yes!💖
Dylan is channeling the blues gods in this song. Joan was wrong. But how could she or anyone else know that he wouldn't rust?
Same
Same in my neighbours

so different to love and theft version.
I think you're a sweet heart man
How survive now when I still weaps inside the dry tears pouring and where are you now? Take care and you need some Love and I think your gone
Comparto mi interpretación para los hispanoparlantes:
"Mississippi"
Paso a paso avanzamos por el buen camino
Tus días están contados, los míos también
El tiempo se apila, luchamos y nos desesperamos
Estamos rodeados, sin lugar a dónde huir
La ciudad es una jungla repleta de juegos
Estoy atrapado en el medio tratando de escapar
Fui criado en el campo, vine a trabajar a la ciudad
Me metí en problemas apenas apoyé mi valija
No tengo nada para tí, no tenía nada antes
Ni siquiera tengo algo para mí mismo
El cielo está en llamas y el dolor está lloviendo
No hay nada que puedas venderme, te veré por ahí
Mis poderes de expresión y pensamiento tan sublimes
jamás podrían hacerte justicia, en rima o en razón
Hay solo una cosa que hice mal
Me quedé en Mississippi un día de más
El Diablo está en el callejón, la mula está en el establo
Cúentame lo que quieras, ya lo escuché todo
Estaba pensando en las cosas que Rosie dijo
Estaba soñando que dormía en la cama de Rosie
Voy caminando por las hojas que caen de los árboles
Me siento como un extraño que nadie puede ver
Hay tantas cosas que nunca podremos deshacer
Sé que lo lamentas, yo lo lamento también
Alguna gente te ofrecerá su mano, y otra no
Ayer te conocía, hoy no te conozco
Necesito algo que distraiga mi mente
Voy a mirarte hasta que mis ojos enceguezcan
Llegué aquí siguiendo la estrella del norte
Crucé el río solo para estar contigo
Hay solo una cosa que hice mal
Me quedé en Mississippi un día de más
Mi barco está hecho astillas y se hunde rápidamente
Me estoy ahogando en el veneno, no tengo futuro ni pasado
Pero mi corazón no está cansado, es ligero y es libre
No tengo más que afecto por quienes navegaron conmigo
Todo el mundo se está yendo, si es que no llegaron ya
Todo el mundo tiene que irse a algún lugar
Quedáte conmigo, nena, quédate como sea
Las cosas están a punto de ponerse muy interesantes
Mi ropa está mojada, pegada a mi piel
Tan pegada que apenas me puedo mover
Sé que la fortuna está esperando para serme amable
Así que dame tu mano y dime que serás mía
El vacío es infinito, frío como la arcilla
Siempre se puede volver, pero no se puede volver del todo
Hay solo una cosa que hice mal
Me quedé en Mississippi un día de más.
Stayed in Mississippi …
I've been in trouble ever since i set my suitcase down

Yo
Could da told ya you’d do that
Bob spent 1 day to many
Well Jeff Buckley, and Memphis, but yeah...
No age
I m 62 but my past was with very olderone
Just feel and wanted broken all wars
I ve some ideas to win but no te h ology
No time to think so busy sorting cars money hotels blah blah. Think I’ll go back to tonight’s place and hit the beach. It’ll probably be snowing by tonight. Fours seasons every day here.
I still prefer Unreleased Version #3, but this here is a close runner-up.
The wind here which isn’t in Mississippi doesn’t whistle, it squeals. Like a thousand hungry infants. But it’s not in pain or in need of anything. Wonderful view. In Ireland which would cost four times what it is here. And actually I like the people here more. The light is fantastic. Might even be able to read without my glasses. That has only happened in last forty years on Greek beaches. Optician understands why. I don’t.
Going to try to have a nice evening. Might invite my buddies (the young female staff up later for a wee party. Got a lot of gin) here when they stop work. Have even been told smoking is OKAY!!!! on the balcony. Back to mid 70s prices, customs, manners, sense of fun. X
what the hell is going on
I know what they hold over you. It's make sense to me. Oh yeah. Hum
Cute
Turn triangle up side down. The bottom is big and big enough for town than country. Oh sweetheart. I fuse to much. Cracking up. The bottom is big than the top. Thier more muck on the bottom of oh mercy me.

pray for HER soul.
Sitting in a lay-by wondering how come that song from 78 I was listening to as I left the bay this morning is failing me now. It was, well it is a bright sun shining day, but feck. I have a financial shortfall by the morning. Car repair is much more than I’d bargained for. Hotel. Boat. Petrol n food til I get home.
