I remember being laid up in bed ill, probably 1967/8 and well after Bob Dylan’s album “The Free Wheelin’ Bob Dylan” was released. My mate lent me a stack of his albums to listen to and that turned me into a Dylan junkie. Besides being big into the usual Beatles, R&B and Progressive Rock bands of the era, we were also enjoying the hippy, protest and folk movement culture and this guy became the mouthpiece for a generation.
I selected this track from the album, a love song aching with nostalgia, because it is one of my absolute favourites from him. I have discovered this live, set-piece performance, which is obviously not quite the studio quality of the album track, but in B&W takes on mood of the lyrics.
