I discovered this version in a bootleg in 2006 when I was only 13. I had started getting into Bob's music the year before. In 2006 I saw him live for the very first time. Now I'm at six gigs and still counting. I'm 24 and I've been listening, reading and studying Bob's songs and writings since 2005. Thanks to him I'm a different person. He's my idol and he will always be. The greatest genius of our times!

Awesome. I first got into Bob in high school when I was 15,16 in the mid nineties. My first show was in 1998 (I ended up seeing him 3 times that year) at the Gorge in my home state of WA. I've seen him a total of nine times. I always say Bob is God just because it makes people mad. Street Legal has always been a favorite because it came out in 1978 and that's the year I was born. Favorite two songs are Dirge and Not Dark Yet.

I started listening to him at about the same age as you did. Difference is I was born in 1955. I've got to go to 10 of his concerts. It's been years since I've been to one though. Like you I've always felt blessed to grow up in his time. Always nice to read a comment like yours.

When I was 13 years old I first heard Dylan singing Mr Tambourine man, it started a life long love of his music... I am 67 years old now. and still feel the same listening to his music as I did back then... As a 20 year old my then girlfriend an avid Elvis fan told me that Elvis would always be the king., my reply was If Elvis is the king then Dylan is God...

Actually, they are both god. And don't forget Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard or Gordon Lightfoot or any of the greats whom have left us spinning. How about Neil Young? My own personal belief is that those who get it at an early enough age, in terms of 'life's meaning' and mankind's purpose in it ,well what can you say? His lucky break really began with Guthrie and the black man's blues. To see a man or woman and not see color is a special gift. And didn't Dylan and Guthrie in so many others have that gift? One more I would like to add to the list of greats:Greg Brown!

One of my favorite Bob Dylan songs.

The lyrical changes are superb. Dylan never fails to inspire and provoke.

BEST version of this song. Don't even argue.

I really think this one should have been on an album release...his outtakes are greater than most everyone else's greatest hits, lol.

Every time I'm accused of overthinking (thinking beyond TikTok, social media and such) I cry then come home and listen to Bob Dylan

Sei il Più più !!! Grande unico!! Mio amato Bob Dylan! Amoooo! Love

Totally wonderful. He pulls a masterpiece out of the hat that he has been working on for years. Incredible. One of my favourite Dylan compositions.

This version is superior to biograph. More mournful

Fanstastic version of a wonderful song. Nobody could do it like this 'cept Dylan. In my opinion he's the best singer the world has ever seen. I'll see him performing in Main next Saturday. Can't wait... Frank

I can never decide if I have a favorite Dylan song. My favorite is always whatever Dylan song I'm listening to at the moment. The first time I heard this gem was when I played the Biograph album. I loved it immediately.

This man's outtakes would get anyone else into the Music Hall Of Fame!

One of my favourite songs by Bob. It sounds a bit like Wagon Wheel, which a band performs at my workplace from time to time. But when they play it I'm reminded of this song, and Bob's genius.

Been fan of Bob since I first listened to Freewheelin' back in the summer of 63. Only Cohen, Waits and Knopfler come close to his genius.

Amazing Dylan, the best ever !!!!

The Best Version of this Song.Pure Perfect.

Those 3 albums- Saved, Shot of Love, Slow Train Coming...are fu*king fantastic. It may have been a confusing time for fans and critics, but it was one of Dylan's most creative periods. The music is spot on and the lyrics came straight from the gut. I was 8 years old when Slow Train came out and I first saw him in concert. As a life long Dylan fan, I find this period in his career fascinating. Thank you for posting!

Brings my life and my people I love and have loved into such clear focus, but with new layers. The words bring time and place to me so clearly. This man has brought such goodness and helped me through such hard times. The loving and loosing and pain and joy of life. Thank you

Wow..Release this song today and it would be a big hit and it would wake up the sleepers that are lost in someone elses culture.

Right on Letsif.People are sometimes afraid of what they will never understand.Hell,I have loved Dylan since I first heard him. I play a lot of Dylan guitar and harmonica. I have a song his songs on the street as a street singer since I was 22 years old. One time I was playing in Burlington Vermont and I wasn't making a nickel and I was not making a nickel and there were lots of people. I used to carry Dylan's book of words on the street with me. Desperately trying to make a nickel for a dime, I turned the page and played and play the one about Little Red wagon little red bike I ain't no monkey but I know what I like...and this Canadian fellow comes over and throws $320 in my case;no lie. He appeared to be from the Middle East region, perhaps Iran or Turkey. He had tears in his eyes when he threw the money in my case.

o my gosh.. Dylan just made my day!!

wow, the sound quality on this video is amazing. Absolutely beautiful song, a tropical visions of Johanna tinged in heartfelt spirituality and genuine human nobility. But ya'll knew that already.

after hearing this for months when i couldn't find the original version on youtube,, i gotta say i like this one as much if not more ,,, god bless this man :)

Dylan never released this song because he felt that the lyrics were too confusing.

How does this song not make it onto an officially released Bob album? An argument can be made that this might be in his top ten of all time.

I actually like some of the later lyrics from the official version, but I love a lot of the ones here and wish he kept them. The performance and music in this version is so much better too.

god damn why have I've never heard this version before, LOOOOOOVE it.

Thanks! Such unique music!👏

sweet , gorgeous , sublime !

This song reminds me of Mexico!

This version should have been officially released up to this point…😭

Grazie, grazie, grazie, grazie, grazie e infinitamente grazie Signor Dylan

What beautiful , heart reaching lyrics to Caribbean Wind !! I can not see it noted who wrote it ; it surely seems like Bob did or if he didnt he puts his own fabulous spin on it as he does every song he writes or version of songs ! A video of wonderment and awe built into the emotional delivery , which is another side of Dylan , which people rarely mention first about Bob !!!!!!!

Bob does multiple versions of a lot of songs, but the version of this on BIOGRAPH is WAY different than this version, even most of the words other than the chorus are different. Personally, I like the BIOGRAPH version better, but both have their merits.
