[@philpinckley1720]

This whole album is phenomenal!

[@patrickhiggins6726]

Agree 100% 😎

[@ultimospettacolo]

Indeed.

[@standring2600]

really brought me into Bob`s music. My first Album I really listend to.

[@georgecoventry8441]

One of the most beautiful tunes Bob has ever done. Street Legal is a superb album.

[@jakewalsh7220]

Or that anyone else has ever done - a masterpiece...

[@treborob]

Totally agree!

[@sarahmcdonagh5875]

Love this guy and his superb music.No one like him.❤

I was 15 in 1978, I discovered Bob Dylan with this album, this song, I could never forget it.

[@jasonmee3374]

I to dicovered him with this album Patrick and its his best album for me as his voice is poweful and great songs

Igual que usted yo también tenía 15 primaveras y aunque me engacho “Huracan” este álbum fue el primero que pude adquirir con mi trabajo y lo pasaba y repasaba.

[@NevadaBoss]

a vastly overlooked gem off a vastly underrated LP by His Bobness...

[@AbrrahamLincoln]

I saw this live 1978 in Gothenburg. My favourite song ever since

[@ericnyblus4463]

One of Bobs 10 best songs. Strong melody, easy lyrics, sensitive singing and very nice arrangement. ❤️

[@regisducreux9196]

I totally agree

[@sarahrichards2512]

He's remarkably sensitive...I love him.

[@henkhoed9635]

[@peterowen9183]

And the sheer confidence to open with nearly a minute of instrumental.

[@romulusremus7537]

When this album came out Rolling Stone panned it. That's when I knew they were nuts. Love Bob.

[@fasteddie9867]

Rolling Stone has been unreliable and printing fake news for years. I believe they also panned "Led Zeppelin II"---one of the best albums ever. The editor Jann Wenner kept the group Chicago out of the Rock and Roll HOF because of a dis that one Chicago member made about Rolling Stone in the 70's. Roling Stone sucks and so apparently does Wenner.

[@xanthel1634]

Anyone who says Bob can't sing, get them to try just ONE verse of this astonishing song...they'll see.

[@suzannephillips-wooten3103]

His phrasing is some of the best in Rock that's why He was one of Sinatra's favorite Singers and who knows singing better than Frank 😊

[@lucianogrotti7511]

I've played this record 1000 times and I never get tired of listening to it.. the melody is hypnotic!

“Changing of the Guards” is probably in my Top 5 favorite songs of ALL TIME.

[@subhasishdey9754]

"i have been to the mountains and i've been in the rain i've been in and out of happiness i have dined with kings and i've been offered wings but i've never been too impressed"! Only Dylan can write and sing this sort of majestic stuff! The man,the legend, the icon!

Most underrated Album.

[@OneMoreCupOf]

LYRICS: Do your love me, or are you just extending goodwill ? Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt ? I've been burned before and I know the score So you won't hear me complain Will I be able to count on you Or is you love in vain ? Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude ? When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude ? Do you know my world, do you know my kind Or must I explain ? Will you let me be myself Or is you love in vain ? Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind I've been in and out of happiness I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings And I've never been too impressed. All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you If I'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow Do you understand my pain ? Are you willing to risk it all Or is you love in vain ? Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow Do you understand my pain ? Are you willing to risk it all Or is you love in vain?

Thanks so much for posting - never heard this song. No other musician has ever written and performed so many songs in so many different styles. This song seems in a different style than any of the other melodies and background instruments that Bob performed.

[@J.A.Hansen]

One of my long time favorites.I use to had the record and then I lost it.Reminds me to buy the album again on cd.However I still have the Budukan Live Album and I can play the song.It is so beautiful and it says a lot.Bobs songs are written in letters of truth and move me always a lot.I love many kinds of music.But always when I go back to Bobs Music,it is like coming home after been away from home for so long.Thank You🙏

[@stevenpetlak7540]

[@madahad9]

I don't know the history of this album or if it was well reviewed by critics and fans but I would rank it as my favourite Dylan albums. It contains some of his most accessible songs but without compromising his standards.

[@dbradx]

This album has been described as capturing Bob halfway between divorce and Jesus, as he became a born-again Christian not long after its release. The divorce was intense, bitter and nasty with Bob, Sara and the kids all walking away with some scars. The songs are deeply personal and a different vibe than anything Bob recorded before - it didn't help that the audio mix on the original release wasn't great, so Bob's great lyrics got a bit lost in the music. As a result, it wasn't very well-received, but with time I think most have realized it's one of his best.

[@yonidimoni]

Always thought it was inspired by Spanish group Mocedades: listen to the beginning of "Eres tú", and the lyrics to "Tómame o déjame". Another example of loving and thieving. But it does not lessen Dylan's work. As in "Restless farewell" and so many others, he is a genius creating a great song out of another great one

[@Entrenamientonautico]

A friend of mine gave me this album for my 19th birthday in the late 70s. He died some time ago. But this album still reminds me the years of our joyful and crazy youth under a military dictatorship.

[@gailremp8389]

It is so easy to understand how Tom Petty and Bob Dylan and their paths crossed, and they became friends and cohorts and time and crime and music and joy. Easy to understand. This is beautiful.

[@chubbs6504]

Preciosa música que quizá cayó del cielo.

[@JorgeLMarquezsM]

*Dylan was at his best, or at least as lyrically colorful as any period of time with his Street Legal LP. I believe this song was about his Wife, since this was written during his painful divorce.*

[@edited7382]

I got the news for you. The only reason you are getting to hear this on KZbin is because Bob sold his catalog and now someone else is getting very rich off of it.

[@simonedevlin7710]

@@edited7382 I am truly shocked to hear that the buyer of Bob's song catalogue has done this on UTube. If they use his name when posting the songs, can it be reported to the UTube community tactfully? I wonder if Bob trusted this person, and then, did they purposely wait a certain amount of time before releasing them ? The eventuality probably should have been surmised and written up in the bill of sale. The importance of following through with a class action lawsuit is a must. No doubt there is a legal paper trail of other famous songwriters who have had their works pirated or underhandedly bootlegged.Therefore current songwriters should rally with Bob in a class action lawsuit and each video post not receiving approval of the artist should come with a warning. It is hurtful to the Dylan/Zimmerman clan and can only result in blood stained money. This sale of the songbook should have had a contractual codicil regarding royalties resulting from internet postings to be paid to the songwriter and/or family.I pray that Jakob will address this betrayal of confidence i.e. gentlemens' agreement to act with loyalty and respect toward the goodwill of the artist.This should never ever happen again to any artist/singer/ songwriter!

[@edited7382]

@@simonedevlin7710 What are you going on about? Bob Dylan sold his entire catalog for about $400,000, and whoever bought it is entitled to do whatever they want with it Including posting it all on KZbin and monotizing it with commercials. Dylan probably saved millions by selling it, because California will hit his family with a massive death tax when he dies. Everybody wins, including us fans!🤑
