Bob Dylan, Desire, and The Rolling Thunder Revue｜Vinyl Monday

welcome everyone to season 4!! what's your favorite dylan tune? comment below!

Bob’s worship of Sara and the false god of Woman eventually comes crashing down into the Truth of Jesus Christ just a few years later. It’s what we all desire.

Keeping in mind that the studio take of Hurricane is sped up in the studio, affecting the tempo changes.

I bought an almost unlistenably scratched copy of this record in 1994 or so and listened to it enough for it to be one of my favourite Dylan records. You're spot on. Joey is just a bummer and should have been left off. The Hurricane is great but I don't ever really want to put it on. But Isis, Romance In Durango, Sara, One More Cup Of Coffee, and Oh Sister are just phenomenal.

What guitar does a ghost play? A boo zooki

You released this when Marcellus Williams gets executed. Oh, the timing.

Your comedic timing and historical reenactments are incredibly good. I am not a big fan of Dylan, but I’m watching the entire show.

Totally agree regarding "Joey". Overlong and weak in comparison to the rest of "Desire". "Isis" is one of my all-time favorite Dylan tracks. It's just so exuberant and rambling in a way that only Bob and this particular group of musicians could pull off.

Did i do something wrong on instigram? Have couple records for you,need to know were to send them.ty

When highway 61 revisited

That video of Joni Mitchell playing Coyote was filmed at Gordon Lightfoot's place, not Allen Ginsberg's.

Abigail, IDK if you WANT more viewers who are old enough to remember when this music was new, but most of us don’t want to hear unnecessary f-bombs thrown in to the history of my generation.

The F word meant business in our generation. Save them for when you have something serious to be angry about. Like Trump getting elected again, God forbid.

As far as my favorite dylan tune its a tie between “youre gonna make me lonesome when you go take 5” or “just cant leave her behind”

Mostly because i associate them w my breakups and past relationship trauma but oh well!

Oh god oh jeez oh man guys its happening!!! My dream episode!!!!

In my dreams, me and Abby smoke a joint, listen to Red by King Crimson and talk about it…

Already? i thought it takes at least a few months like a TV show or something 😊❤
I was actually watching your old videos just now, you know, “reruns”….

Someone mentioned Renaldo and Clara, has anyone seen the entire thing? Anyone try it on a bet? It’s longer than Heaven’s Gate

Congrats help us with political exoteric observations, being a 20 something within our precarious country

Oh, the album is remembered quite well outside of "Hurricane!" For as long as I've known of it, it's always been the other album from the 70's that is essential…possibly the last essential album of his until his resurgence in 1997.

Totally agree with "Joey" being the dud of the record. The record would have been better…and still 45 minutes long…without it. Move "Oh Sister" from the end of side 1 to the beginning of side 2.

The Dylan hype. Planet Waves and Joni Mitchell's Court & Spark came out in January 1974. She was in a meeting with David Geffen and Dylan at this time. Bob was being praised as a genius and she was being patronised and treated as just another girl singer. She was right, Court & Spark is a much better album than Planet Waves. Joni always believed non-musicians overrated Dylan. I was at college when Desire came out, It is a good record. I find the lyrics to Hurricane hard to listen to today. It was the last Dylan record I bought until Oh Mercy. The sixties generation had their myths.

Along with Nashville Skyline, Desire was, and probably remains, Bob's most popular work among people who aren't Dylan fans – it did very well when it came out.

Another great video! Dylan is my favorite artist for a reason, and this is definitely his most underrated album.

Speaking of albums from the 70s, ive always wondered what you feel about the Carpenters, especially their non political stance in contrast to their contemporaries. They were the biggest American act back in the 70s, but nobody talks about them these days!
