Pleasantly ephemeral -- I like the gutbucket mix. "Every Grain of Sand" and "in the Summertime" though.

"every grain of sand" has been one of my fav dylan songs ever since i heard emmylou harris' cover, i was happy to love his version. "in the summertime" is amazing. heavy van morrison energy to these records (i guess it's all the gospel?)

supposedly there's a Clash version of "In the Summertime" with a howling Joe Strummer plonking away on the piano

Pressing On is my jam
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 19 March 2020 15:17 (four years ago) link
also one of the few songs from this period where I actually think the album version is the best one

Trouble No More is the perfect soundtrack to these times. "When you gonna wake up?"

The cry of the peacock, flies buzz my headCeiling fan broken, there’s a heat in my bedStreet band playing “Nearer My God to Thee”We met at the steeple where the mission bells ringShe said, “I know what you’re thinking, but there ain’t a thingYou can do about it, so let us just agree to agree”
fuckin amazing

every time i hear "when he returns," no matter the arrangement, studio or live, it's the best song i've ever heard, but the live version with the burning organ on it and the second studio take on trouble no more really hammer it home
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 27 March 2020 16:25 (four years ago) link
Yeah, Caribbean Wind has an amazing cinematic quality to it like some of the stuff off Desire.

Those lines Brad quoted are nearly a screenplay.

just watched the trouble no more film! bob's harmonica solo during "what can i do for you?"! literally transcendent

That is one of my favorite things of this entire period. Like he is channelling the holy spirit.

Fuck yeah brad otm wrt Caribbean Wind, just floored me the first time I heard it on Biograph

i know i said upthread that shot of love was maybe the best of these but that was initial excitement i think, even though "property of jesus" and "in the summertime" really knock me out. saved is the best one imo and is swiftly becoming... my... favorite... dylan... record?
both of the complete live shows in the box set are AMAZING. toronto 1980 is perfect, and then just the next year at earl's court all the arrangements are completely fuckin different!
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 13:41 (four years ago) link
Agree that Saved is the best studio and that Toronto 1980 show is the best period.

Bob Dylan acting out "Shot of Love."If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Interpretive Dance Bob Dylan is the best Bob Dylan. pic.twitter.com/QLRWlmnvN4— HarryHew (@harryhew) August 30, 2023
Gestures aside, I find this musically scintillating.
Extraordinary that he had this much vitality after almost 20 years and numerous other career phases.
