Shelter From The Storm
This is a backdated post. I’m posting twice a day to get this baby up to date. Can’t remember what I was doing back in November so let me just plug a great Dylan live album “Hard Rain”, released on September 1, 1976, this, at the time, best captures Dylan at his “Rolling Thunder Review” period. Some radical reworking of classics, and even some remaking of newer material on this album.
This was Dylan’s first official live album, quite a surprise, considering he had been recording since 1962.
For me, the standout track is “Shelter From the Storm”. Just compare this to the original version on Blood on the Tracks. They are as different as night and day, yet both are absolutely incredible. The live version is full of raw energy, with three guitarists buzzsawing away. Just listen to the way he sings “Everything up to that point had been left unresolved”. You won’t be able to hear that line any other way
