Robyn Hitchcock - Desolation Row (LIVE)

[@malcolmnicoll1165]

Beautiful song. Beautiful performance.

[@littlegoose9860]

Wow! Robyn's guitar treatment on this is fantastic and the surreal imagery these words paint take me right to Desolation Row.

[@colinswartz6022]

A surrealistic masterpiece interpreted by a master of surrealism.

[@erictansley2085]

Brilliant performance from one great songwriter to another. Robyn displays such a great understanding of Dylan's lyrics. A song that makes so much sense in UK 2023.

What a beautiful birthday 🎂 present on Robert Zimmerman’s Birthday. What a treat! You are a most rare and beautiful treasure Robyn.

[@mmfraf]

Arguably Bob's greatest composition, by arguably Bob's greatest interpreter ("Robyn Sings" is as good as live albums ever get, I think). Thank you, sir, and thank you, Bob.

You are entitled to your opinion.

A very good “situs.” Greetings from Ga.

It's more like "Lockdown Blues"!

Happy 80th Birthday Mr. Dylan!

Well done, Cap’n! Groovy modal groove (speaking of monks)

[@alisonderrick1067]

Haha 😂 Thank You 🙏 for being so hilarious Chris Huff. On so many levels.

[@ChrisHuffmusic]

@@alisonderrick1067 well thank you! Glad to amuse 🙂. Do you come to the SHQ broadcasts?

[@altcardiff]

Any idea what tuning it is?

[@ChrisHuffmusic]

@@altcardiff sounds like drop D - the high E might be a D too

[@alisonderrick1067]

@@ChrisHuffmusic hey 👋 man, Thanks for the question. I do not know 🤔 but I’d love to find out about them, what are the shq broadcasts? oof 😅.

Great stuff! I thought yer man was going to change the words and add a verse about Stilton cheese or something! Lovely guitar tone by the way...

[@jamesh500]

"As Tubby and I look out tonight from Desolation Row" About 56 seconds in. I don't remember "Tubby" in the Dylan version. :)

[@user-io3th6lo9t]

It sounds as if Robyn changes his strings a lot.

[@TheMagus801]

A hearty Groover Happy Birthday to Bob Dylan! Great Cover Robyn! Check out Emma Swift's Blonde On the Tracks for more Dylan cover brilliance!

[@Ibrian8888]

Sounds like Dylan 🤗🍺cheers

@@MyNamesJohnDaker I will.... I didn’t mean his voice by the way 🙏

[@alisonderrick1067]

I hear you guys! Yes Christopher! How about maybe a new traveling Wilbury... or The Traveling Robertyns?

[@alisonderrick1067]

P.S. I’m all about the starting of think tank convos about our favorite and world’s greatest musicians. Yes keep it up! I hear the nod to Bob Dylan in Robyn’s voice in this most beautiful birthday 🎂 tribute performance tonight.

[@Ibrian8888]

@@alisonderrick1067 Great idea

[@Simon_Nonymous]

I'll expose my ignorance right now that I never knew this was a Dylan song as I don't really like him that much, but as it was played here I was musing on how Robyn was like a Bob Dylan but different. How strange! And that's not a dig at Bob Dylan by the way

Wow 🤩 what?!! Love your verbiage. That’s funny and beautiful. I would love to read a book of your poetry! You have the pen of a ready writer with lots of quirk and spirit. Thank You ☺️
