I Shall Be Released

[@pwk22]

I like the breathy tone of Elle's voice.

[@vonrap]

Here is how these songs should be sung and played: nothing shouted, nothing to play but only clear words, an enchanting voice that makes you dream of open spaces, sun and well-being. These are the characteristics of Reina and Toni two musicians that I love as I love my idol John Fogerty and how I love all the music USA! Ecco come andrebbero cantate e suonate queste canzoni: niente di urlato niente di suonacchiato ma solo parole chiare, voce incantevole e che fa sognare spazi aperti, sole e benessere. Queste sono le caratteristiche di Reina e Toni due musiciste che io amo come amo il mio idolo John Fogerty e come amo tutta la musica USA!

[@johnmesser522]

A 78 yr. old rocker...I been singing this song live, for decades... Got pretty good @ it...But..I have never heard it sweeter than this..the Joy that comes with these young artists, doing these songs as if they've lived them... May God's Grace surround them, always...

[@edfinleymusic9256]

I agree I've been singing this song since it came out, the band played it every gig, I saw them 2 years ago and they are special

[@danniebright2152]

I'm a 70 y.o. musican, mostly retired. I've been listening to versions of this great old chestnut for most of my adult life. I gotta say that your rendition is about as good as any I've heard and better than most of them! You sound wonderful...I wish you every success in whatever you try to do, and hope to hear LOTS more.

[@paulzetlmaier4009]

Holy shit Dannie! The music of our salad days will never be old! Thanks man!

[@alansdorsetfossils4028]

Dannie as someone who I never got past a 5 chord trick and also no longer in my first flush of youth. I love this combination, sometimes I am not aware that Tony along with her fantastic guitar skills is also vocalising beautifully along side rena. What a combo. I think the younger generation have an affinity for the music of the 50, 60, and into the 70's that somehow music after these times are somehow not revered. Maybe tbe future will prove this wrong.

[@johnmesser522]

I second that emotion

[@monteyoung7126]

Dylan wrote it, The Band made it famous, Grace Potter took it over the top, hundreds of people sang it, but this is by far the cleanest, purest, simplest version I have ever heard! Saw this about a year ago, been a fan ever since.

I may be considered to be an old man ( 67 years ) ... in my heart .. I am the same age as the young ladies playing here ... I was a youngster when I first heard Dylan play ... nothing has changed ... music is ageless ... our band self taught players ... not as proficient .... but the crowd danced when we played and we were all happy. ... Thank you for your version of the music .

I listen to this every day. Today I was in the ER. I had a heart thing happen. I asked the nurse if I could start up my laptop. Your song was the first thing that played. Today, I pray that I will be released. If this is my last post, I love your music. If I could play my guitar right now, I'd play along with Toni. If you ever get a dream about an old Ojibwe hippy that loves your music, that'll be me. Sing with me as I am always singing with you. Fare thee well my dead head friends. Dano passed away at 4:20 pm today. he wrote this down and asked me to post this.

[@balanaidoo7526]

These two wonderful ladies so easily achieve that magic thing called FLOW. Just look at the look on Toni's face as she lovingly plays that lucky guitar! Reina is the perfect partner. I just love these two. At age 82. I hope I live long enough to enjoy more from them.

I was convinced Bob Dylan put these two beautiful woman together when I found them I cried tears of joy thank you

[@chinto50]

I see im in good company here..Im 71 Toni: great work.. love your playing Reina.. your voice and compassion comes through.. Dylan did this with the band.. I see previous posts that state a progression from writer to success.. Dylan wrote it and HE and the band made it great.. the best part o this song is that We are all still singing this decades later.. THAT is a great song. I have sung this song several different ways since the beginning and still bring this out to sing at least a few times a month. Reina and Toni I have been following you for a few years now.. You are a group that puts your heart and soul into a piece.. well done .. very well done.. LOve it.

[@gilbertoantonioli2665]

I see the whole apparatus of the Rock bands. So much noise. And screaming. And I am surprised by such a repercussion. Two girls (beautiful) two guitars, voices so sweet, songs that touch the soul. What a strange world.

[@kmccjoe1]

I'm also a 70-year-old musician, and I loved your rendition, ladies. That's a great arrangement, excellent singing, and some damn fine picking! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@isabelcowley1248]

For my 60th birthday 10/10/2020 ... I gave myself a guitar as my very own gift. I'll tell you this. YOUR remarkable rendition of this song... makes me want to learn to play it right now. You just capture the essence of this song and make it sound remarkably beautiful! I want to keep listening to it over and over again... and now I want to learn to play it. Great work! KEEP UP YOUR INSPIRING MUSIC GIRLS!!!

Bob Weir said "you gotta worship the idiom". You pour all your heart and skill into this. Beautiful

i could live life lost in the warmth of Reina's voice and the intricacies of Toni's playing. BIG LOVE

[@imannonymous7707]

Keeping the faith , and reminding us that rocknroll will never die. Another timeless classic, bless ur hearts

[@rjscratch123]

I'm 70yrs old and I've been loving this song for about 53 of those years. One of my favorite vocals of all time is Richard Manual's vocal on this song from "Music From Big Pink" album. Wore that album out! Shout out to Dylan for writing such a great song! I wish he had written a few more good tunes...Haha! Thanks Reina del Cid for keeping this kind of music alive. Your sound is awesome and downright therapeutic.

[@hufftex3015]

I could listen to Toni play all day. Beautiful rendition, ladies.

[@johnmesser522]

Toni so smoothly transitions from one genre of styles to another, I can imagine her standing in any great Jazz Band & looking right @ home.... You got to dig beneath the surface of this digital world, to find the very greatest talents...the ones unspoiled by excessive hype & attention..

Brilliant! These lovely ladies have truly captured and distilled the essence of this Dylan masterpiece like no other before them. Ultimately, it is a song of hope! What a beautiful uplifting performance!

[@snailer06]

even 8 years ago you two were astounding

[@madogblue]

You both have come so far since you recorded this. I think you will look back in time, and see how incredible this moment was captured here on video. This arrangement is captivating. Reina's vocal phrasing and strong tone, and Toni's complex flowing riffs, when you both were so young. There is something really special about this moment.

[@jasonrobinson4741]

These young ladies couldn't be more talented or charming.

At 2:41 to 2:44 the fire is reflected in the head stock of Reina's guitar. Edit: I can't stop watching this.

[@MarkMaysey]

OMG! You may find this kind of strange, but hopefully coincidental like I did and gratefully so. This is absolutely one of the most beautiful and soulful covers I've heard of this great song. So today I was doing another workout video in my backyard with me four legged doberman named Brody that I love so much and he's keeping me stay in shape to help care for my wife who is suffering from Alzheimers. One of the things I do to relax me and also provide a supplement is hand crafting Native American Indian style flutes and I'm grateful I've done fairly well with them. So I started off my evening with another exercise session with Brody and I wanted to add some of my flute music and guitar mix that I did and it turned out nice, but then it ended as I had the short version and I wanted to keep playing with my dog and then your lovely lovely cover of this song came creeping in and I couldn't stop listening and playing with my dog, so I hope you don't mind me sharing it maybe here on KZbin and definitely my Facebook. PS! I had to search for you again on YT because all I had was the audio, but recognized your both right of the bat. Awesome job! Inspiring to see and hear! If I was a music producer I'd bet a fortune on you both that we could turn a real nice profit for all of us in a very short spell based on several videos that I've watched.
