    Such a priviledge to hear this version of 'Hard Rain's' - sadly the lyrics are everybit as relevant now as they were back then in 1962. A true masterpiece.

    This rare version of "The McKenzie Tapes " makes me weep hearing a classical song I adore called "The House of The Rising Sun". Bob brings the real issues to life. I consider his works to be buried treasures of the Deep South. His voice is a metaphysical transformation and a rare form of beauty in sorrow.The fully awakened soul sways by the hurricane lamp.This is the softer version of Dante's Inferno. One masterpiece begets another.Tip your hats ladies and gentlemen for the youthful wisdom of "All life is a stage". Bobbie is the best minstrel we shall ever to be graced by in this century. Once you have witnessed the absolute best, you shall never ever compromise."A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" is more beautiful than a thousand rain drops glistening in a perfect rainbow emerging after a warm downfall in a midsummer maiden's dreamy afternoon.

      i hope you are feeling better Susan, i cannot imagine your pain, i can only symphatize by saying that my grandmother passed away 2 years ago, spent most of my still young years with her daily, and I can feel the pain transform into a feeling of warmth knowing she is happy somewhere and that I will see her after I live every day to the fullest for her till the end of my life
      I know your son would want the same for you.

    Great quality! Thanks for posting. I have been collecting TMOQ vinyl Dylan boots since the mid-70s, pretty much my favorite being "Blind Boy Grunt" or sometimes called "The Kindest Cut". Different versions here that I've never heard. Ranks right up there with the best of his bootlegs. Probably the most laid-back approach to A Hard Rain that I know of. Great to hear the phone ringing in the background on a couple tracks, adds to the authenticity of a home recording. "I Rode Out One Morning" I don't believe I've ever seen or heard at all. Great alternate cover shot from "The Freewheelin". Thanks again!

    I remember those Bootleg albums. They sound pretty good. God knows where they came from. It shows what a fantastic repertoire he had. He was the best songwriter of the time.
    I was almost busted having one of those bootlegs played on the radio. It had John Birch Society Blues on it. It later surfaced on an official Bootleg by Sony. The times are a changin 🙂

Would also love to hear the Davey Moore intro from the halloween concert if you had it? "This is a song about a boxer". Love to try and get a sense of his immediate surroundings & personality during those breakthrough years. Thanks for all you do.

    C'est curieux, Dylan interprète The house of the rising sun avec les arrangements d'origine, contrairement à sa version sur son premier disque, où il reprend les arrangements de Dave Van Ronk et en fait la première version "moderne" de cette chanson, avant qu'elle soit reprise par The Animals, Nina Simone etc... Une autre curiosité est la Ballad of Donald White, une des chansons les plus intéressante de ses débuts. Donald White est un prisonnier qui explique qu'il préfère être en prison que devoir affronter les dangers de la société.
