I need 75 candles and I need 'em quick. It's Robert Allen Zimmerman's birthday tomorrow, you see. Many happy returns, Bob. In celebration, here's a quartet of inspired one-off live covers, of originals by Gordon Lightfoot, Blind Willie Johnson, Bobby Vee, and Richard Thompson respectively. Hurrah!
Bob Dylan - Shadows (Live Edmonton '12)
Bob Dylan - Let Your Light Shine On Me (Live Bridgeport '13)
Bob Dylan - Susie Baby - (Live St. Paul '13)
Bob Dylan - 1952 Vincent Black Lighting (Live Clarkston '13)

I just love Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning so had to checkout Bob's version. Yep, it's a pretty good rendition if that sound too patronising which then led me back to listening to Richard's stellar original and then on to versions by Miranda Russell and Red Molly (both on Youtube). Fans of this great song will already know all this but many thanks for posting without which............
You're very welcome, cheers!
This is the first time I've heard Bob's version of '1952...'. The last time I looked it was still 'missing' from the field recording archives. Great to finally hear it.
Ramone666, where you at that show?! It was amazing? The photo you have, is that an image of the poster?
@unknown: yup that's the gig poster alright. I wasn't at that show though.
Would you be willing to sell it? My mom and I went and she has been talking about it ever since
@Ramone666. The “unknown” message was from me also. Not sure why my name jkschoh didn’t display
Sorry JK, I don't own that poster. Try Ebay.
