I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me
You'll never know the hurt I suffered
nor the pain I rise above
And I'll never know the same about you
your holiness, or your kind of love
and it makes me feel so
sorry

I'm on another Dylan kick. I just picked up Chronicles and am really enjoying it. His way with words isn't confined to lyrical selections.
The 1974 Rolling Thunder concert is one that I spin constantly. Anyone else love this period/tour? The only thing I wish is that Blood on the Tracks got more love live. Did those songs, besides Tanled up in Blue, ever get much stage time?

About half of them have been regularly played since their release; the other half are genuine rarities. "Buckets of Rain" has only been played once (an unremarkable version from the early 1990's), and "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" is credibly rumored to have been played once at this show in 1976, though no recording exists and official documentation of it ever having happened in the first place is generally pretty scarce (though the fact that this setlist is posted on Dylan's website might be worth something). That show is also supposedly the only time "Black Diamond Bay" from "Desire" was played live.
"Meet Me In the Morning" has only been played once; however, it was in 2007 at a show where Jack White guested, and White (to my understanding) sang the whole thing.
"Tangled Up in Blue," "Simple Twist of Fate," "You're a Big Girl Now," "If You See Her, Say Hello," and "Shelter From the Storm" have all been played regularly over the years. "Idiot Wind" and "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" are both real rarities but there are some stellar versions from 1976, which are the performances that count.
Below are a few classic soundboards from that era which feature some of the "BOTT" tunes (they're from the Expecting Rain forum, so I'm not sure if they're active links). There are great acoustic versions of "Tangled" and "Simple Twist" on the "Live 1975" set, and definitive versions of "You're a Big Girl Now," "Idiot Wind," and "Shelter" on the "Hard Rain" album from 1976, the superior (if less comprehensive) album in my opinion.
It's crazy to me that he released BOTT and Desire within a year of each other.
I guess releasing Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 within 6 months of each other is crazier .

If only he recorded Infidels like this.
I prefer BOB and Highway 61 Revisited to Blood on the Tracks. BOB is a bit edgier and has Visions of Johanna while H61R is bookended by two of the greatest songs of all-time.
Blood on the Tracks is a perfect record but I don't think it pushes me around enough - There's nothing to dislike but I like that there a still bits of those other records that I dislike and get annoyed by in a good way and songs that keep revealing themselves.
Love this TV appearance. Thanks for the memory jolt. And in return check out STOFate at 15mins-ish.

It's on Biograph but is this another version??? Great great song. Heard a decent cover years ago but can't remember who. I'll search...
EDit: The Revelators who was basically The Black Sorrows (Joe Camilleri). Here's a link but you have to click thru to the track
That version actually isn't on Biograph; it's an outtake from the Shot of Love sessions, far superior to the released version in my opinion.

This is just perfection right here, love the solo and guitar tone. The crowd are bizarre though. The fuckin 90's were weird man.

I guess you know what to expect. My advice is try to figure out what song he is playing as quick as you can. Often the lyrics are the only thing you can connect with. It will make the experience much more enjoyable. Well that and Wilco/MMJ!
