Great video. John Wesley Hardin and Street Legal are two of my many favorite Dylan LPs. I believe the picture on the cover of Street Legal was taken in Santa Monica, CA near the studio he used to record the album. Slow Train is another classic, very catchy tunes. Murder Most Foul is a masterpiece. When I first heard this song I was floored. Along with all of the names and songs he mentions in the song Dylan tells a lot about the characters and events surrounding the JFK murder. Bob is well informed of the circumstances related to that day in Dallas. The song did bring to my mind the epic Like a Rolling Stone. Both Murder Most Foul and Like a Rolling Stone are longer than normal records. Classic Dylan with many, many veiled references that illustrate Bob's knowledge and feelings about the vial act of the murderers.

“Con Cin” Happy to see you in good health. BOB is a National Treasure and we have not seen him since June 2022 in Oakland. Something that really gets overlooked is that BOB has always been a great band leader both on the road and in the studio. You’re the BEST Mazzy.

Through my bleary eyes I read - It's The MAGIC Stupid 61. Seems apt to me as I was born in 1962, the dawn of Bob. I am 61, nearly 62, like the episode. And Mr Zimmerman is indeed magical. I have a soft spot for Planet Waves.....a girl.

Mazzy, great to see you back, I’m glad you showed Street Legal. I just wanted to point out the 2003 cd remastered version, I’m sure you are aware of it. For me this is the way to listen to this album, it’s a much better mastering, more clarity to the recording.

Thanks Mazzy. Dylan is my favorite solo artist as well and I can’t get enough. The albums I have been in the mood for lately are: Modern Times, Planet Waves, New Morning, Hard Rain and his most under-rated album, Shot of Love.

great choices..i especially love rough and rowdy ways..'i contain multitudes' is right up there with 'not dark yet' as one of my favorite dylan songs... just like leonard cohen, i appreciate so much more their 'older' voices..and the writing on 'rowdy' is all brilliant from beginning to end... excellent video.. stay well my friend.. peace..rocky

Thanks! I discovered Bob Dylan in the It Ain't Me Babe days, '64 I think. He seemed to hit the right spot for those of us who spent our high school years stuck in our bedrooms listening to our transistor radios. Another Side sent me craving for more as soon as I could gather the money for the next album. And the poem lyrics sent me on literary expeditions to discover his written references. It was a life changing time being re-directed by Dylan and Ginsberg et al.

Triplicate. In my estimation....when I listen to it....HIS is the perfect FINAL VERSION TO ALL THESE SONGS. HIS AGED VOICE sounds like their last go around, some-definitive. Hes That good at it. Especially Tear jerker "IT Gets Lonely Early". Rough and Rowdy good too. Wonderful album. Murder most foul......like a super dark and sentimental twist on the American Pie theme. Hypnotic.

Sorry to comment twice. John Wesley Harding great overlooked Dylan LP. Just before his motorcycle accident I think? Songs are amazing and a transition for him. One of the first to record in Nashville (besides country artists). He must have recognized the technical capabilities of the city as well as the American roots in music...

I never understood the need to separate MMF on the CD release, putting it on an extra disc. It’s clearly part of the album on vinyl; if it had been important to distinguish it as such, it could have just been a download or an additional 12” or something. But it was part of the sessions and is a spectacular way to end the album. And R&RW is one of his very best.

Great story. However, Bob Dylan never converted from Christianity to Judea, but still believes in Jesus. This is the main concensus according to what he said in recent years. But in the end I think both faiths are valuable to him and play a role in his life. Besides that, I wonder which Dutch cities you've seen, aside from Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Thanks for posting this great video. - Marjet

Nice selection, Mazzy. One of the reasons Street Legal didn't get much love is that the original mix sounds like garbage. The songs couldn't really shine. I'm young enough that I heard the remasters first, so I've always liked it. This is gonna be a good weekend; once the postman arrives on Friday.

Personally I love that really full sound he went for on Street Legal - most unusual for him. Yep, re. brass - I get your reservations Mazzy, but I quite like it here. Very full-bodied sound, isn't it.. (For some reason though the last song on this album completely eludes memory muscle for me every time it plays again. I've never known a song achieve this to such an nth degree, so much so not even its title sticks! Ah, must just be me..

Hi Mazzy, really enjoyed this talk. Funny how all the records you talk about listening to in Amsterdam are such very AMERICAN albums. I think those Dylan "Great American Songbook" albums work remarkably well. Cool effect at 12:26 with your reflection in the album cover.

having physical copies of "triplicate", "rough and rowdy ways" and an original "john wesley harding" would give me an opportunity to be the annoying dylan obsessive you discuss here. well, i'm one anyways and i of course would have fought 2 dozen security guards to see bob at the warfield in 79. "gotta serve somebody" was hated by lennon and disliked by you but you're both mistaken. bob was making up new lyrics to it and performing it as recently as last year. the group vampire weekend were doing "when he returns" on their last tour. great video!

Street Legal…big Dylan fan but can’t get into that one. Definitely tried. The Sinatra albums are good…especially in retrospect. But when you’re getting three of those in a row, and one a triple record, instead of new original songs…it kind of sucks at the time…8 years! But Rough and Rowdy Ways was worth the wait. So underrated. His voice is great on it. Definitely benefits from the Sinatra records experience. Agree, MMF is part of RARW just like Sad Eyed is part of BOB.
