it's great, even the songs from The Band (whom I'm mostly lukewarm towards)

i do, however, want to hear the rest of the 70-odd songs he did with The Band in Woodstock

I love the Band, but i don't really like how so many great Dylan songs were left off the album and 8 songs by the Band, songs that weren't even recorded during the basement sessions, were used instead. There's a great amount of material that we are missing out on. There's more than 70, there was only 16 featured on the official release; they recorded over 100.

What I want to know is, where can I find a tree with roots? I see a copy on amazon going for 450 dollars. I haven't been able to find the torrent because theyve all been deleted. However, I was able to find one download that has around 20 songs that weren't featured on the official release, but I'm not sure if it's going to work.

On December 6, 1962...

Bob Dylan recorded ‘A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall’ during a session at Columbia Recording Studios in NYC for his second album `The Freewheelin'.

I just got hold of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963). Really like "Masters Of War", "Oxford Town", and "Don't Think Twice, Its All Right"..

My favorite band blaster, Against Me! It's Bob Dylan Dream.

I dream Bob Dylan was a friend of mine [x2]

He was the owner of the house in which together we all lived
He slept between me and my wife in bed
Oh, the roof leaked in the kitchen
I never mentioned my collection of his albums
I never bothered him with intrusive questions

I dream Bob Dylan was a friend of mine [x4]

He got a warm sense of humor
He was outgoing like my wife
We'd hang out late into the night smoking joints and drinking wine
We'd go thrift store shopping for vintage electronics
Race remote cars in toy departments
We'd never talk about playing music

I dream Bob Dylan was a friend of mine [x4]

didn't like what Dylan did in the 80's & early 90's but most of his stuff is awesome.

i've seen him in concert 5 times and puts on a great show!

I was also pretty surprised by that. It's a great song, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find out that Bob wrote another great one
