Have to disagree with your take on Sad Eyed. Think it and Visions are the masterpieces of the album.

Also just to add to this, Sad Eyed’s almost mythical backstory of being finished in the dead of the night with the rest of the band having no idea when this new song would end - the result an intense and rebuilding momentum of every chorus as the band thought the song was ending. The fact he’s never performed it live. The homage he pays to it another song he later wrote (Sara, which, btw, I don’t think any other song Dylan wrote mentions a previous work performed by him). Saying it could have been scrapped when you dedicated so much to what Rainy Day brought to the concept of Blonde in Blonde just seems naive to me and really a preconceived bias in deep diving shows. To sell Sad Eyed short sells the entire album short.

During the 1980s or 90s, Dylan said that, today, it takes "two weeks to get a drum-sound". His first album was recorded in one day. "The Beatles" first album was recorded in one day.

Fun smart listen. But yes I’m knocking on the door defending Sad Eyed Lady. I get your point musically, but I assess his songs from a more lyrical focus and this song is a great epic poem and can not be any shorter.

Dylan released two LPs per year until 1966, when he released the double-LP "Blonde On Blonde". In 1967 the album of "hits" was released, and then "John Wesley Harding".

Interesting enough, this vid came at just the right time, only a couple of days ago i decide to give Dylan a proper try and already love The Times they are a-Changin'. I've also just started listening to Flying Lotus, but for different reasons.

I would be very surprised if you started listening to Bob Dylan and Flying Lotus at the same time for the same reason! I can't imagine what that reason would be...

I thought you were saying "December of 1965" and not "the summer of 1965" for the released of Hwy 61 Revisited and was so confused. Good podcast, thanks for it! Interested in what others discuss with Dylan. Never actually sat down to a podcast of it, usually just watch the docs and read books or Reddit posts. Also, the reason Levon was gone is because he hated it, then went to work on an oil rig. Pretty weird! He finally came back for The Basement Tapes and all that.

I've always said Bringing It All Back Home was my favourite Dylan album. But I feel like, after this video, Blonde on Blonde is.

"The Band" became "The Band" because Dylan fans, in conversation about Dylan, for shorthand, called Dylan's backing band "the band". We knew what we meant.

Bob Dylan is my God, but I never understood why this, of all his seminal albums, is generally expressed as his best one. I would have much preferred a video on Blood on the Tracks, or The Times They are a-Changin’. But that’s just me, still, I’m lookin forward to listening to this podcast!

"Pillbox Hat" is Dylan's humor. It doesn't strike me as being a satire -- especially on materialism: Dylan has never shied away from money and owning houses.

Some young people hear the consequences of "The Beatles" so don't hear their innovations. Same goes for Dylan. Dylan broke the AM Top 40 2-and-one-half minute song-length limit with "Like a Rolling Stone". "The Beatles" did it with "Hey Jude".

Because Dylan "went electric," the marketing label "Folk Rock" was invented, at which label Dylan sneered.

"The Beatles" opened the door -- kicked it down, actually -- for everything that followed. They opened their fans to greater possibility, which helped Dylan cross over from folk to "popular" music. Dylan's voice? Name a blues singer who has a "pretty" voice. Frank Sinatra praised Dylan's singing, because attractive voice isn't the same as skill in singing. His music is songs that fit the throat.

There's a lot of bullshit mythology about Dylan at Newport. For one, the electric blues "Paul Butterfield Blues Band" -- which backed him that evening -- had played an hour set that afternoon, and no one objected. They loved it. For another, that Dylan fans were "shocked" makes no sense: they followed everything he did, and the electric "Like a Rolling Stone" was already on the pop charts. The objection came primarily from Pete Seeger, one of the founding members of the Folk Festival. He was already pissed at Dylan for changing from protest songs to the more personal. FACT: Dylan was THE star of that evening concert, BUT was only allowed to play for 15 minutes. Whereas "Paul Butterfield" had played for an hour.

Dylan's first LP was loved in the folk community, which demanded "authentic" folk music -- which for many was slavish conformism.
