Bob Dylan & The Rolling Thunder Revue - Shelter from the Storm (1976)
This is my favorite version of "Shelter from the Storm" and I couldn't find it on KZread so here it is.
Lyrics:
'Twas in another lifetime - one of toil and blood
Blackness was a virtue - the road was full of mud
I come in from the wilderness - a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
Not a word was spoke between us - there was no risk involved
Everything up to that point it had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
Silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully - took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails - preacher rides a mount
Nothing really matters much - doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker blows that futile horn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
I was burned out from exhaustion - buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes - blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile - ravaged in the corn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
Now there's a wall between us - somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted I guess - got my signals crossed
Just to think it all began on an uneventful morn’
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
In a third world hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation they give me a lethal dose
offered up my innocence - got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm
I've been livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks on a razor's edge - someday I'll make her mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said
I'll give ya - shelter from the storm

Until I caught the documentary on this tour I had no idea Mick Ronson & T Bone Burnett were on the tour. What an epic tour. The career tour schedule at the end of the doc is mind boggling. What an institution Bob Dylan is. Enigmatic, iconic... a mysterious wonder. We were hardly worthy.

Best rendition ever.I think the crudely raw guitar compliments the narrative of his singing voice.Love all of his old bluesy stuff.This is the only performance I will listen to.
He uses his natural singing style here, as he did on Tambourine Man. - saw him play this show on the East Coast. It was great.
In Houston after Hurricane Beryl listening to The Man. Need to hear “Hurricane” as well.
Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost I took too much for granted I guess, got my signals crossed Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

It's the perfect verse to quote from this rendition because you can hear him click into the groove just before he howls into this stanza. After this, he's locked in, zeroed, in the zone.
One of my favorites ❣️
Shelter From The Storm In these times of strife Dylan knows where it’s at
Best song of Bob! Thanks you
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤
This is the first time i have heard this version, similar to the hard rain version but seems slowed down to that one , but these live versions with the slide steel guitar are so right for a live performance, dylan loves to change things about and make things unique to that particular performance, thats bob ! Im afraid its no good going to a concert thinking you are going to hear any thing resembling his greatest hits albums .
Excellent 💥
Bei vielen Musikern dieser Zeit wünschte ich mir oft ich wäre doppelt so alt suuuoer🙏👍

1976 was the year Dylan entered the stratosphere where no other singer went. Not one song was sang the same in the Rolling Thunder. Who does that?
I think Dylan was feeling mortal when he wrote and performed this gem All my study of the man I can't recall him behind make up maybe I am just getting old.lol peace
If we didn’t have the Hard Rain version of this reinterpretation we’d think this was really damned fine. But The Hard Rain treatment is stratospheric, so this seems a little pedestrian. Even then it has a good old swing to it.
Yeah, how did he. They were good ❤ together.
They hated me anyway so I gave them more reason too. They allway, try to take everything away from me that I loved. I passed that

Always bewildered me how the Dylan freaks went nuts when Slow Train Coming came out. And everyone was pressured to stop listening to Dylan. Like Dylan had lost his way and mind. They obviously weren’t doing what some might call a close reading of his much earlier work. Rife with so called religious imagery. Nick Cave can barely write a song without some Old Testament reference, yet somehow Nick has escaped the critics’ wrath. It’s all these references to God and other ways of seeing that make these men and others the artists they are. Cleanliness may indeed be next to godliness but near also is just being an artist.

Well Patricia...I get your point...but you also got to remember that in the slow train Bob had his fabulous "Man gave names to all the animals"....now this itself makes him a 2nd Darwin where he renounces God and puts Man in front

@@Rilez616 The complete 52 minute Hard Rain RTR Fort Collins, Colorado Special is awesome. His most passionate version of Idiot Wind E-VERR ! His style changes of *I Pity the Poor Imigrant & Deportees* 👍 Only Bob could make it work. With the songs subject matter many hardcore folkies didn't agree... I think they liked it but couldn't admit it publicly Critics really dissed Bob's voice thru RTR period, don't understand why. Mainstream Media felt the need to lower Bob down a rung or two...

Get yer ya ya's out, is one of the greatest live albums of all time. The 69 Stones were out of tune, off time, mixed as best as 1969 technology allowed etc...and it is perfect. Zero polish all raw. Feedback everywhere. That's Rock and Roll mister. That's Rock and Roll. Dylan perfectly imperfect.

Or maybe he just felt proper free this day I prefer the latter Dylan.
Similar to the sounds that cats make, my cats dig on it as much as I do.
Sometimes the worst enemy of a beautiful Bob Dylan song is Bob Dylan performing it live. I am a big fan, have enormous respect for him, consider him one of the greatest. “Blood on the Tracks” and “Desire” are my 2 favorite Dylan albums. And the Rolling Thunder Revue just seemed to mock those songs. Which in turn is mockery of his fans. What was that all about?

He was always trying to keep it fresh as playing the songs the same way would get boring to him is my take on it
