The Cracked Bells and Washed Out Horns Blow into My Face with Scorn but it's Not That Way I Wasn't Born to Lose You - 1 was 16 yrs young - in the small village where I lived - first time I heard that line I thought WOW - I'm not Alone in that thought - I didn't reckon at the time that there was a whole generation

little by little... masterpieces

Played this song from Blonde on Blonde while living in a room next to a communist in Berkeley. The FBI agent lived upstairs. Played it several times a day. It was my anthem, my song. I was young, she was a little older, she knew how I felt, but didn't want to go there. I went down to the Folk Club and listened to Lightnin' Hopkins, he told me more about it. I finally cleared out my ears with Muddy's great band with Spann and Cotton, loud and searing, unlike anything I'd ever heard. Cotton's harp roaring through huge Altecs filling the air with heavy blues, "Just to be With You" "You Can't Loose What You Never Had". "Forty Days and Forty Nights" ,I still have the music to listen to, I remember the feelings, young feelings, nearly 60 years ago. It was a time for us all.

Bob is a miracle, thanks to God

Like watching Van Gough paint. A fascinating peek into Dylan's creative process and all the careful work that accompanies genius.

One of the best songs of Blonde on Blonde album. Simply an incredible version.

Whenever I hear this beautiful song it makes me happy.

"I have to get acquainted with it", and follows an astounding "Take One". Are you kidding? That's the 1st take? I'm grateful for being allowed to get acquainted with genius recorded in reel time. Genius in the midst of creating, in his place, in his time, in his moment. Beautiful.

OMG the Dylan Candy Store is open for business today!! What a delightful end to my Sunday Swingin you're truly doing God's work here.

Keyboards in the mid to late 60s were what made a lot of music great.No one does it that way anymore.

the repeated phrase "I want you," and a weird cast of characters ", including a guilty undertaker, a lonesome organ grinder, weeping fathers, mothers, sleeping saviours, the Queen of Spades, and "a dancing child with his Chinese suit". "I Want You" is a song recorded by Bob Dylan in 1966. Recorded in the early morning hours of March 10, 1966, the song was the last one recorded for Dylan's double-album Blonde on Blonde. It was issued as a single that June, shortly before the release of the album.

Perhaps the weird cast of characters in this song can be attributed to his first child being born (Jan 6, '66) and the fact that he was living in NYC before moving his family to Woodstock and where everything and everywhere there is a weird cast of characters. Add that to the fact that he loved at least two other women when he married his 8-mo pregnant wife (Nov 22, '65). Dylan says that behind every beautiful thing there is pain. All his beautiful songs in the 60's means there was a lot of pain also. As much of a prophet Dylan was he was raised with good Midwestern values and married the pregnant girl. The song he wrote for her "Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands" actually ponders if he should wait or not and saying her pockets are well-protected now. The song was half-written before the marriage and half-written after the marriage, explaining the obvious contradictions about the lady in the song. To his credit he actually falls in love with her for real after his motorcycle accident confines him to his home, or perhaps he was just in love with married life with children. He certainly was not faithful to her but he was a good father to his children even after his divorce. I personally saw him and another woman here in California in April '66 when he took her to The Castle in L.A.

Doubts have risen if he was the real father of my oldest sister, which would make it even nobler. She was the prettiest one of the six children in the sixties and has a special kind of social intelligence, often calling herself a dumb blonde.

Well this certainly will stand as the highlight of my day. I’m so glad it was rolling, Bob!

Nice to hear the progression of a great song

Bob is building the melody around the 3 note of the scale, that's why it's so low. On the real record he groups it around the 5 note. This lower register really captures the scorn that he was so good at projecting in those days - scorn ofr the enemies of his feelings.

This is really great! I agree about the drums being better with sticks! I also like the key it’s in and Bob’s dynamics in both energy and phrasing! The keys are little too obvious in it I think which brings me to that little walk down that I’ve always thought a bit too repetitious and therefore too predictable. I really enjoyed this immensely though and the photos rock!! Thanks for uploading! I also love how Bob tells the guy “I want yoo “and the guy says” I want cha”Lol 🌟😎❤️

feels like a endless ride, with my heart in time/tune to the rhythm...

I first heard this a long long time ago. It completely blew me away, captured me forever, reverberated with me, and opened my eyes to full artistic expression and to realizing that one individual can truly change the world. Such is the gift of genius.

The most exciting cover of this song was done by a woman singer (Hawkins..maybe sophie, sadie?) She performed it at the all star celebration of Bobby's 30th anniversary. Although that show has been repeated a few times on public television as a fund raiser, they leave her amazing performance out. Anyone know why? I watched it in my living room, all alone. By the time she finished, I was almost screaming in delight. But, for me Bobby, no matter what song, is always the definitive and the best version.

This is great. Ken getting wild on the drums.

My favourite tune in the album !!

And then the Earls Court 78 version. It made me cry. So beautiful

it sounds pereable and dissolves when listening, you want to hold on to it...magic

Buttery was such an essential component of so much of that music back in the day. He backed dozens of performers. Boy, this is one of my favorite Dylan songs. Theres one refrain that has become one of my usual earwigs... "Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit he Spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?" That goes on all the time in my head...can't get it out. Same goes for "Stuck Inside of Mobile"

@@sparrowx4442 There is a short film of a twenty year old Dylan standing on the corner of some NYC street reading a sign and taking the words of the sign and twisting them around like an anagram to make new sentences. He was cranking out songs and they couldn't come out fast enough. My stuck inside of Mobile ear wig is: Grandpa died last week And now he's buried in the rocks But everybody still talks about how Badly they were shocked But me, I expected it to happen I knew he'd lost control When he built a fire on Main Street And shot it full of holes I was a 19 year old Marine headed for Vietnam and Danang when I heard that song. The contrast between going to war and listening to Dylan being silly left an indelible mark in my memory.

Reminds me of a lass I was at school with in singapore back in 1966 ahhh those butterflies in the gut keep em coming high flying man

another great i love both! zimmerman and johnson

Dude thank you so MUCH!!! THANK YOU!

this has the same tenderness as love minus zero but approaches (consciously) self-parody and '60s rock as well. he reworks the old 'needles and pins' riff done to death by then. his vocal phrasing shifts from folkie warmth to Lou Reedish insinuating in one breath. a small jaded masterpiece but he sounds like hes sick of all this repetition and needs yet another new identity.

A funny Dylan song as a reference to rolling stone Brian Jones and his ''It girl'' Anita Pallenberg ''the dancing child'' , released as single shortly before the reléase of Blonde on Blonde . Dylan said in 1969 to RS magazine '' I was a tremendous speed ... at the time of my Blonde on Blonde album'' , '' The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind'' , ''that thin , that wild mercury sound '' . Most of the álbum was knocked out between stints on the road during a historically intense bout of touring . Dylan wanted to continue pushing his new sound , and tour with an electric band ... '' the musicians played cards , I wrote out a song , we'd do it , they'd go back to their game and I'd write out another song '' Dylan Interview 1968 .

Playing with Nashville musicians helped create that sound, too. "Smooth as country water."

Aaron Kenneth Buttrey was an American drummer and arranger. According to CMT, he was "one of the most influential session musicians in Nashville history". Buttrey was born in Nashville, Tennessee, became a professional musician at age 11 and went on his first world tour at the age of 14 with Chet Atkins. Wikipedia
