Stapes Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) An absolute legend. Couldn't find this on YouTube, but love this song. Could have picked any of a hundred though. Freewheeling and Blood On The Tracks are two of the greatest albums of all time. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlaxvj_bob-dylan-let-me-die-in-my-footsteps_music Edited October 13, 2016 by Stapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraz65 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I was delighted to see this as well. He represents an ongoing link to the American folk tradition of the early 20th century. His lyrics have touched millions and many of his songs are still used in civil rights campaigns around the world. There are undoubtedly better writers and poets who have won this award in the past but the definition of the winner of the Nobel Prize is "an artist who has produced a body of work in an ideal direction." Personally I think it's long overdue and a welcome reminder of the greater aspects of American culture. I'm currently trying to find a band who will play "Simple Twist of Fate" during my wedding ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Didn't realise this was still on youtube - go to 35:15 for one of the most incendiary live performances by anyone ever. Sad thing is that this was roundly trashed at the time. It's ace!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
