"Shot of Love" came out when I was WOW and my "family coordinator" said it was from the devil and especially aimed at me to get my mind off the WOW program. He knew I liked Dylan and I was listening to the album when he came home from work.
Yup, Dylan recorded it just for me, thanks Bob. LOL
Just saw him a few weeks ago with Willie Nelson--he was as inaudible as ever , but the band was hot---nothing from his born again period made it into the set
My Buddy Karl from the area went out WOW in l985-l986..he was convinced at one time that the song "Sloop John B" by the Beach Boys was from da pit...as the repetitive line was "I wanna go home...why won't cha let me go home?"...oh how I wanna go home.......anyone remeber THAT one?? LOL

Did you go to the show in Pitsville Mass.? He did Every Grain of sand off of shot of love at that show. Every once in a while you will see Slow Train or When You Gonna Wake Up on a set list. I saw the same tour here,yep inaudible and this time almost invisible did he play keyboards off to the side of the stage all night. What the hell is up with that?
I am a fan of his older music but not of himself as a person. I think he is arrogant, money hungry and totally self absorbed. I have seen him 6 times in concert, the last time I said I would never go again (but I know I will), didn't have a clue what songs he was singing.

Made a mistake, it was "Slow Train Coming" that was released during my WOW year that he recorded for me.

Yea I saw the show in Pittsfield,and he played keyboards allnight-- he might have done "Every grain of Sand" but it sounded like
"Gryhmpf Xlkmfot Hratenzy shlowhjy" to me,
the only songs I could make out were "its alright ma", "Willie McTell" "Don't Think Twice", and "Summer days Summer Nights".
Willie was also in and out that night.
It was really more of an 'event' than music, I actually thought The Greencards were the best music on the bill.

I miss the music of Dylan in the 60's.

A good book to read about Dylan is "Down The Highway" by Howard Sounds 2001.I have read a number of biographies on Dylan but this one I like the best.
I am reading Dylan's "Chronicles" for the second time, he did a great job with it.

what he played:
It was worse than I thought--that wasn't even 'Dont think twice" but something else..
I am pretty sure that "grumble grumble, moan , shriek, mumble, mumble" should have been on the Pittsfield playlist.
I KNOW I heard that one!

Something new to check out. Looks like some new outtakes on some of the old songs sometimes these go well sometimes not.
