Did Roger take the lead vocal on it during Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour, maybe?

Ok, checked at home, didn't find it. Ya know what though...I'm beginning to think that Roger McGuinn played it when he opened for Fleetwood Mac in 1994. I KNOW I've heard McGuinn singing it...and I'm pretty sure I SAW him sing it as well...since that's the only time I've seen McGuinn live.

Same here. I don't like the vocal.

Dylan's recent performances of it have been pretty incredible as well. I saw him play it in Berlin in 2003 (in a set that also included Baby Blue, Desolation Row, It's Alright Ma, Don't Think Twice, Things Have Changed, Highway 61, Every Grain of Sand...), and it was just devastatingly beautiful in sort of a country ballad arrangement.

Dylan's version is acoustic and a bit dirge like. It's typical of his mid- sixties/Greenwich Village/bohemian sound. I know it's on Biograph but I'm not sure where, if anywhere it originally appeared. I like what Lindsey did with it. I like both versions.

Yeah. That would be great, if what we heard on the Destiny Rules doc is any indication.

It's on the Bringing It All Back Home LP.

I wholeheartedly agree. I heard he performed it at his soundstage taping in Chicago back in '03, which still hasnt aired on pbs

Lindsey didn't, if memory serves and that's whom you're referring to.

I was at that AHI benefit in 2001 and I heard Lindsey do it live. I have to say that I really did not care for it. I wished that he did another song.

I saw Dylan perform a beautiful version of this song at the Electric Factory last year. It sounded a bit like Lindsey's, but a lot slower and the lead guitarist was playing a Telecaster, not a nylon-string acoustic.

OK, maybe that was where I'd heard he performed it live. My bad

Geez I wish I could have seen that show. The Mac is my favorite band, with the Byrds a close second. Add to that Dave Mason and Bonnie Bramlett, and I could have died a happy man that night. Oh well. I got to see that version of Fleetwood Mac twice and I've seen McGuinn once. But man, to have seen THAT show...And didn't Fleetwood Mac do a full set? When I saw them, they were either an opening act or part of a packaged tour. Lucky bastard!

And I saw him do it yet again at Campbell's Field last Thursday. New arrangement, this one with an acoustic and a pedal steel, nothing like Lindsey's. Funny how Dylan's songs are so easy to mold.
