Love Minus Zero (No Limits)
Years ago (around 1980) I was given one of them tiny wee record players that played about 80 records in a row - as it has the long metal bar in the middle with an arm, which stacked records. The very first records I ever played were Gasoline Alley by Rod, and Bringing It On Home by Dylan. LMZ has always been my favourite, as much as I love Idiot Wind / Hurricane / Tangled Up / Shelter..... Greatest Love song ever.
Should also mention, while I was over in Kettering on Friday (to get Championship Manager 4) I picked up Dylan's 1975 tour Double CD which is the 5th in the bootleg series & The Beatles Number 1's for a nice and cushty £20. Bargaintastic. Dunno how many different styles of music Dylan does to the same songs over the years, but it's mighty impressive. Great versions of Hurricane and Visions Of Johanna. Gotta say I love the Budokan period as well with the massive band he had with him. And 74's Before The Flood is magic an all, playing with The Band. And 76's Hard Rain tour.......you could go on and on about him, fookin magic. My dad and his brothers (except fer John) go see him every year, and as many times as possible.
Just noticed a couple of you have Changing Of The Guards
I love that an all. I set out to do a best of Dylan cassette a couple of years back, I ended up doing 3 C90 tapes, it's the same with my best of Neworder and John Lennon tapes as well.
You always think you can have the best 90 minutes, but you always feel you've left something out, so you do another tape
Other honourable mentions to Hattie Carrol, She Belongs To Me, Masterpiece, Tom Thumb, No Time To Think, Dignity, Rolling Stone, Seven Days, Mama You been on my mind, Sara, Ballad of a thin man.........that'll do fer know.
Green guy, if there's any live concerts you want, let me know and I'll bring them over in July, between my dad, Ted and Pat they have everything
Shugzy knows I'm a Dylan fan as well, though I can understand why some people may not like him as well as we do
Faves include:
Series Of Dreams Love Minus Zero/No Limit Visions Of Johanna Idiot Wind Every Grain Of Sand Most Of The Time Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues When I Paint My Masterpiece
