The Gaslight Anthem - Changing Of The Guards

[@andreaguiotto7982]

Springsteen’s immense energy and Dylan’s immense poetry, marvelously blended into a rock himn! What a superb cover, bravo to Gaslight Anthem!

[@JPerks6789]

It is very rare that I prefer a cover to the original. But this is another level. Brian can cover anything and make it gold

[@alexfuller1322]

This HAS to be the best Dylan cover since "All Along the Watchtower"!

[@fornostios8970]

Better than Adele's cover of Make You Feel My Love? I shall be released by The Band? Van Morrison's cover of It's all over now Baby blue? For me those are better ^^

[@danielmcdowell4258]

I agree.

[@bellerive7018]

[@andysizz]

what a brilliant version, bought this in 77/78 and was always my favourite on the album. this makes the hairs stand up on my neck, seen then twice, great band.

[@letsgoas75]

Brian Fallon is ungodly talented. to take an under-appreciated song by the greatest troubadour/songwriter since...ever? and make it both his own and true to the original is something that not many - if any - people could do. if i heard this song on a Gaslight Anthem album, i'd think it was theirs. this is just an incredible version of an incredible song. There is no one on Brian's level in rock music today.

[@r2dlee953]

I always think the same I hope I get to go see him this year

[@amitnaamani5702]

you are so right....

[@russelldiamond-webb5723]

That's their point TheBubitzza.

The lyrics could change your life only a true magical god knows what is going on in the change ov the gardes

[@LuisGustavoCoutinho]

Genius!

[@BeforeTheNoose]

Changing of the guards is my fav Dylan song, and Gaslight are my fav band. What a combo!

[@anthonyiacobello8969]

This is a very very difficult song to sing. Every verse is like a single thread following a separate entry and exit. If you miss it, the whole fabric of the song falls apart. This guy doesn't miss a stitch. Very Impressive.

[@riproaring3140]

Hey, this song is a BLAST to sing! Pure high-octane FUN.

[@NigelOdinson]

As a song writer I concur!!

[@Pineappolis]

@@riproaring3140 Both you and the OP are 100% correct. This song's an absolute trainwreck whenever I sing it (despite theoretically being right in my wheelhouse) but, my God, is it ever a joy to try.

[@ludosinz]

hats off! this version is absolutely marvelous. A very beautiful voice, and the band plays great!

[@andrewstephen458]

Brilliant cover. Possibly my favourite Dylan song aswell

[@kellyguthrie1247]

Best cover of this song. One of Dylan's five best songs in my opinion.

Chills, the second the drums jumped in. Wicked cover.

[@JoeSinopoli]

This rocks. Highlights both the genius of Dylan and his interpreter.

[@Silvan1903]

Joy tears down my cheeks! I just discovered that they have a cover of this song, i am amazed! This masterpiece makes joy tears floooow!

[@LorettaMath]

Oh, yes, Silvan. Rarely do I bother to post on YT. But this is mind-blowing.

Your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards. Thanks Mr. D.!

[@maxmaexchen4445]

never heard a better version of this song and i don't think i will ever hear

[@kellyguthrie1247]

I'm very impressed with this version, one of Dylans top ten songs. This group nails the spirit of the song, and adds their own unique interpretation. I like it better than Patti Smith's great version.

[@rolandl4782]

This cover gets better everytime i listen to it!

[@ryansimmonds731]

Amazing cover. I'm 18. have an extensive record collection, love this band also. and wow I was BLOWN away. too bad these guys have broken up. If you don't know anything about this group; the 59 sound full album is only a KZbin search away... From Gaslight to Gene Vincent. Quite a night

[@scrubttt2511]

They haven't broken up, they've taken a break

[@owen5468]

They want to take a break so they come back fresh and with good ideas

[@r2dlee953]

Still Brians own album is amazing to

[@andrewchippendale2333]

best cover, i've ever heard.

[@codyandrews7065]

When he almost screams saying "but Eden is burning." Dang.

[@craiggilmour6062]

Thank You Hattie. You saved me more than anyone in the world. You are the most amazing person out there, no one can top you. Remember that.

[@adriangill7141]

WOW....dont comment much online, but this is deserving. My all time favorite Dylan song and by god they did it justice!! So good. Really. Amazing

[@BlankUberEverybody]

This is FANTASTIC!!!! A hard number to cover but these cats made it their own!

[@Jmebyt]

I think this is the first time I've seen a cover of a Dylan song where people are actually unanimous in the decision that it's good; usually a massive flame war in the comments. Good job, Gaslight.

[@roycemobis7186]

It is evidently the best version ever made of that impossible song. I had not even imagined a cover like that one was ever possible.

[@LorettaMath]

Agreed! It is so difficult to pull off. Would love to see Bob's comments on this.

[@jamesraymondsmith]

not one damn thing impossible about this song.. and it is only the best version of this song in the mere legend that is in your own mind

[@Withtheghostoftomjoad]

A stunning version

[@TheVerdantStar]

Peace will come With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords

[@Waterchilddtown]

Excellent cover, can't get enough!

[@bornfreesix]

heard it so many times...best band, best cover... god damn so good

[@Gaviathan]

Ive listened to a couple of gaslight anthem tunes and have always thought they had serious potential but until now it hadnt quite hit the mark.They didn't just hit the mark,with this,they nuked it man,wicked stuff!!! Peace

[@raymondayac8283]

As is the case with most Bob Dylan songs.. but it's his amazing ability to tell stories and create lyrics that defines the songs. Timeless stuff :)

[@hipp5150]

2019...and they just touched me WAY down deep!! WTF?!?! Then went searching for more and found a TREASURE CHEST of unbelievable tunes!! WOW!

[@BenCrosbyMusic]

I've been following The Gaslight Anthem and really anything Brian Fallon does since 2007. I'm stoked for you to dig in!

[@mathburn1]

best version by far

[@vanessabeecroft5441]

Sixteen years, Sixteen banners united over the field Where the good shepherd grieves. Desperate men, desperate women divided, Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves. Fortune calls. I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace, Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down. She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born, On midsummer's eve, near the tower. The cold-blooded moon. The captain waits above the celebration Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid Whose ebony face is beyond communication. The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid. They shaved her head. She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo. A messenger arrived with a black nightingale. I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow, Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil. I stumbled to my feet. I rode past destruction in the ditches With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo. Renegade priests and treacherous young witches Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you. The palace of mirrors Where dog soldiers are reflected, The endless road and the wailing of chimes, The empty rooms where her memory is protected, Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times. She wakes him up Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks. She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking. He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks. Gentlemen, he said, I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes, I've moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards. Peace will come With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords.

[@thijmenschaap8744]

Such a good song

[@ellisgreen1479]

Some Lyrics are wrong

[@damiendarlington]

Which version do you prefer hun? Bob Dylan's or this?

[@ellisgreen1479]

Damien Darlington this one

[@ignatiushand]

Me encantan casi todas las versiones. La canción es maravillosa.

[@Gamardo95]

Tremendous cover of a brilliant poem!

[@akumwalling]

I think both versions are good in their own way! as they have different arrangements. I just stumble on this, and its a great great cover

[@petersagar3707]

Possibly the greatest Dylan cover ever... possibly even greater than Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.. Possibly....

[@yajy4501]

I always felt like Hendrix cover of Watchtower was good but not as incredible as people made it out to be (beyond his playing.) I like the ghostly feel of the original more. This one on the other hand, perfectly captures the feel Dylan was going for. The only negative is that they cut out the last stanza

[@OscarWildeBoi]

@MothsInALampshade Hah, loved the Rise Against song too. Probably the best song they did since The Sufferer And The Witness. My favourite so far is Bad Religion's cover of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.

[@alenpticar5007]

In this picture you can see Brian Fallon (singer) is opening hands and totally surrender to the audience and this gives him the complete joy. So if we surrender ourselves to our highest joy we are in the state of fullness right now.

[@Carvur]

Its literally about the changing of the guards.. Realizing in one sense or another you've been doing something too long.. Music.. Military.. And bowing out gracefully for the next coming of younger soldiers or musicians

[@eleonorabernardi4686]

Listening to this tonight in the middle of a war not far from here.. it sounds creepy and I get what you mean bro

[@EskimoRockRolle]

You find it on "Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs Of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years Of Amnesty International"

[@PhillipaRunyon]

Great version!!

[@yajy4501]

This cover is on another level. My only complaint is that they cut the final stanza and it’s one of my favorite parts. Aside from that they perfectly captured the tone and feel of the song. 👍

[@Yours2Keep138]

I have an obsession with the original song and was actually considering doing a cover of it. But after hearing this version its like "what the heck. I could never do one as good as this!!" :))

[@Spiritualeggi]

What a great song. They really need to release a new album. They sound better than ever here.

[@DylGio]

This was the smash hit of the whole Chimes of Freedom CD they did 100% what you need to do to cover Bob Dylan and i would say it is as good if not better than Dylan's my only complaint is they left off that amazing last verse

[@smayfo]

song gave me goosebumps

[@andrewstorrie3707]

Back here to say how amazing this tune is!! Also Boots of spanish leather: Airborne toxic event!

[@CoffeeAndCigsCC]

Actually, that song was essentially a tribute to "Way over yonder in the minor key" by Billy Bragg, which has unused lyrics by Woodie Guthrie (i think). Brian Fallon never ceases to amaze me with these sorts of references. Search for the song, you'll hear the similarities. Cheers!

[@lloydwright4387]

Agreed. As with Rise Against's version of Hollis Brown. Sometimes it takes a great songwriter to write an amazing song for someone else to perform. Just like Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad, no one could have played it as well as Rage Against the Machine did.

[@gaslight46]

Sounds Great!

[@electricmoejoe]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!

Very very good Cover.Its not easy to make a good cover from a Dylan Song.But this is really great.

[@bdylanfan90]

I can't stop listening to this. It might be my favorite dylan cover ever, including hendrix's all along the watchtower. Does anyone know if they have done any other dylan songs?

[@lokiofthisworld]

No one covers All Along the Watch Tower better then Dave Mathews!

[@archechme]

Beautiful, slow rock I love it..

[@brightpinkbookmarx]

@EskimoRockRolle agreed, however - Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower = the exception that proves the rule.

[@MuckyGhost]

i'll agree with you on the all along the watchtower, but you must listen to the dylan version from the boudokan album. it's very different to hendrix, but i think it stands up to it. fellow music lover, you must hear this.

[@LorettaMath]

Raspy voice like Bruce & Dylan. I HATE covers of perfect songs (don't even talk to me about everybody's cute "Brown Eyed Girl") But Gaslight nailed "Changing of the Guards" The Dylan song that 30 + years ago I'd dance around my living room with babies T & J in my arms.

[@user-od1uk2ep6l]

Essa música me emociona! Viva Dylan!!!

[@rebecaalve2473]

This song is amazing.Sounded perfect for "Mary, queen of scots" (movie- 2013)

[@TheGregRoxx]

I couldn't agree more mate.

[@craiggilmour6062]

[@wmprods5868]

[@MothsInALampshade]
