Dylan, Unplugged. Great musical journey.

Advantages: Dylan fans will love this.
Disadvantages: None-Dylan fanes my not.

Excellent sound quality thought-out. I think this is one of the best Live Dylan I have heard. Starts with the wonderful Tombstone blues-Clear messages great vocals. Then, settling goes into the romantic Shooting stars. Bursting into All along the watchtower followed by the times they are a changing’ makes you want to stand up and sway from side to side and join in with the singing. John Brown is harrowing; you can do nothing else but listen to ...
...then gets faster for Rainy day woman-this change in tempo is a real pleasure. A beautiful love song follows, this is really nice live and clear. Dignity is interesting-you have to just listen to it and enjoy. Knockin’ on heavens door is nothing unusual or exiting, just good music, and lyrics. Dylan finishes with God on our side a great finish to a great concert. ...

The Greatest battle of Rock

Advantages: excellent music, history recorded, Dylan at war with the audience, unique expirence
Disadvantages: addictive, NONE!

...much but you struggle to live for long periods without it and just outright need to hear the music. And hearing a new version or new bootleg of his material is a high that is surely better than any drug can offer. Dylan is widely hailed as a genius for the songs he has written and the social change he has influenced, but there are quite a lot of people who say other people are better performing his material. This shows a lack of understanding on ...
...himself. This feature in Dylan's live ability becomes very important to understand when listening to the 1966 bootleg performance. Perhaps you can only truly appreciate what is happening in the audience if you have sat before Dylan and experienced him. But you can get a very good idea without knowing first hand such is the power of the 1966 recording. I kept putting off buying this album because I thought it was going to be 'special' and I spent ...

dont be BLUES

Advantages: soulfull singing by Bob Dylan
Disadvantages: some weak tracks

...Although not Dylan’s greatest album, Self Portrait does have some redeeming features. This album was released by Columbia music when Dylan moved to Big Sky music as a slap in a face to him . All The Tired Horses The album starts of with a female chorus of “All the Tired Horses” this is the worst start to any Dylan album, Why is this here? Bob Dylan wrote this. Alberta 1# is a much better song also penned by Dylan; he has a nice ...
...Is Bob Dylan in Crooner mode long before 2001’s Love and Theft? This is one of the best songs on the album; I could listen to this song all day. Days of ’49 is a traditional sounding song and is quite boring to listen to. Early Morning Rain Is the first song on the album to be covered by both Elvis and Bob. He sounds very relaxed, almost like a crooner, this has got bad reviews but I really like this. Dylan seems a fan of Gordon Lightfoot, ...

one for the collection

Advantages: some vintage tracks nicely compiled
Disadvantages: nothing new

My copy of this album was bought in Russia so I hope it's the same as the Amazon version. It must be a new experience to listen to Dylan's all American music for many over there, since Glasnost, I suppose. I never could afford to buy much of even my favourite music so if all the people who listened to Bob Dylan were like me, it's a wonder he became a millionaire at all. Yet listen I did, and like Andrew Motion the Poet Laureate, I view Dylan as ...
...by permeating it with incredible music. Dylan says he began his career by busking. If you've ever been out there on a street corner singing your heart out then "Knockin On Heaven's Door" you might have found very compatible. Intended for a tragic cowboy story, like so many Dylan songs, it's drama is it's simplicity. The CD begins with "Tangled Up In Blue", originally from Blood On The Tracks and as I remember was performed live with Dylan having ...

Bob's the man

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: None

I got into this guy quite a few years ago by an ex; he was an avid listener and collector of Bob Dylan's work and since that time well I still can't seem to get enough of Dylan and his lyrics. In my opinion Dylan is a sheer genius very much along the same lines as Leonard Cohen now although Leonard Cohen has done some great work in his time, nothing in my mind compares to this legend. The album has a lot of the old favourites, like 'Blowin' In ...
...From The Storm' and the songs on the album have been digitally remastered for better sound quality and this has worked tremendously. Songs on this album: Blowin' In The Wind The Times They Are A Changin' Don't Think Twice, It's All Right Mr. Tambourine Man Like A Rolling Stone Just Like A Woman All Along The Watchtower Lay Lady Lay I Shall Be Released If Not For You Knockin' On Heaven's Door Forever Young Tangled Up In Blue Oh Sister ...
