Lithium Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm too afraid to check out Bob's 80s, 90s and 00s material. I love his pre-'75 stuff so bad, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed. I did like Modern Times and "Love and Theft", so perhaps I should just leap into the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I love The Basement Tapes - Bob Dylan with The Band is just awesomeness. Well, my brother saw him back in 2004 or something, and he told me that Bob altered all the songs to the degree that he didn't even recognize "Lay Lady Lay" when Bob played it. And my brother is a huge Dylan fan, even more so than myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have no idea. Perhaps in the same way as he did with "Blowin' in the Wind" on Before the Flood? It might have had something to do with my brother being drunk as a skunk during the show too. But Dylan is definitely not the sit-alone-with-his-accoustic-guitar type of guy anymore, like most people picture him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've read up about him a little, and he sounds like a really cool guy. "This machine kills fascists" He was a huge influence on Bobby too, him and Donovan even went to visit him at the hospital when he started to go crazy. But I never really got into him, no. Does he have any good compilations? Like a "Essential Woody Guthrie" or something? Edited July 30, 2008 by Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infidels, time out of mind and oh mercy are great reccords. Even the bad ones usally have atleast one or two gems that makes them worth checking out. I would discourage from saved and under the red sky though, those two are just plain awful in every sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevGNR666 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 it's true. i saw him back in 2005 (?) touring with willie nelson and the entire concert was people asking each other what song they thought it was. until he hit the chorus it was hard to tell.

worldwideboss Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dylan has been playing completely different versions of his songs live compared to the studio ones for over 40 years, ever since he picked up his electric guitar, so that's not really news.
