If either of these were previously released, I'm an idiot. If they weren't, I think they are obvious picks.

it is always a little bit nuts to realize how many not-just-good-but-GREAT songs Dylan discarded over the years. i guess only neil young can compare--it's really part of their mystique though isn't it? The "I'm so great I can throw away this amazing song that most songwriters would die to have their name on" kinda thing.

any chance of a YSI? that would be much much appreciated...

Anyone else enjoy Bootleg 1-3 more than almost any of his other material? I mean goddamn, Mama You've Been On My Mind, Seven Curses, Talkin New York, Farewell Angelina, Moonshiner, etc.

I'm not even much of a Dylan stan, but any artist would be proud to have a career's worth of songs as good as what is contained in those.
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Sunday, 4 February 2018 04:57 (six years ago) link
as good as just the unreleased songs on this, I mean

I have searched for it for years, and at last I have found it: El Dorado. An un-shared challop. *falls to knees and kisses ground*
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Sunday, 4 February 2018 21:12 (six years ago) link
there's a challop i would hear round the forums all the time

(which i love too.)
have ridden for foot of pride elsewhere but it's one of his most sustainedly bonkers
LOVE the alt version of tight connection ("someone's got ahold of my heart")-- one of his most expert vocals ever. every street is crooked-- they just wiiiiiiiiiiindaround until they disappear.

(tho imo and pace michael gray et al, it's a shame this version doesn't quote the squire of gothos for no reason)

I wouldn't say I enjoy it more than anyting else he's done, but it's definitely an impressive collection - of course it also spans 30 years, so with all those mics running and Dylan being a little... particular regarding what stuff to release, I guess it's not that surprising
bought my vinyl copy for a lot of money, but it's recently been reissued if you're a record collector and don't mind reissues
Biograph is pretty great too and I always recommend it to friends when I see it on a flea market or record fair, sequencing is nuts but somehow it all makes sense, there are some great quotes from Dylan in the booklet, good pictures too. Tbh I probably listen more to Biograph than 1-3 these days, sounds more fresh (and iirc has that ott live version of Isis that's not even on vol. 5). But tbrr I don't listen that much to Dylan these days, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time with these tunes already.

Absolutely, yes. In the past 10 years I doubt I've listened to another Dylan album more.
― Sam Weller, Monday, 5 February 2018 09:03 (six years ago) link
there's an unofficial boot called Genuine Bootleg Series vol. 1-3 which is also really a treat, similar in scope but slightly more idiosyncratic in choices and, since I haven't yet listened to it a thousand times, fresh

I've long been obsessed with the duo of "I'll Keep It With Mine" / "Lay Down Your Weary Tune." They both feel like something deeper than standards, or even "folk songs" -- more like monuments rising from the bedrock of ur-songwriting; but monuments that shimmer and breathe like atmospheric phenomena (probably because there is no "canonical" recorded version of either song).
Like, just imagine having written this -- http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/lay-down-your-weary-tune/

I have a similar reaction to that song: the further we get away from that particular version of younger Bob, the older he sounds - like he's made of granite or basalt.
