This is mesmerizing. Dylan on MTV Unplugged, 1995. I can't stop watching.

I think he intentionally messes up the timing and inflections because he doesn't like the audience singing with him.

I kind of hate it when he does that. Not that I sing along or anything, but you know he puts a lot of effort into the record and it makes the live performances seem well, less-right.

I liked the Martin Scorsese film on Dylan with the early live cuts with The Band. I believe they were shot in the UK. Folkies hated him for selling out but they rocked on.

you know what did work from the Unplugged session? The Times, they are a-Changing. THAT was a well-sung song.

Was drunk when I poasted that. Milosz you are right, that is probably the ultimate version. Hard to beat a performance with Dylan and The Band...

Particularly after you listen to that entire concert. The audience was alternatively hostel and rocking throughout the evening's performance. The tension builds throughout the concert. Portions of the audience tried to disrupt the electric half of the concert, leading to the infamous "Judas" heckle and Dylan's "You're a liar" retort and "play it fucking loud" direction to the band. Then the band kicks into "Like a Rolling Stone." Every line Dylan sings seems to be an "in your face" to the audience. It's hard to imagine a current day performance with so much antagonism between audience and performer. Rob P.S. Conne, double check but the band wasn't The Band or at least not all of it. Some of the performers dropped out of the tour since they couldn't handle the ongoing hostility of the audience. Dylan apparently was stoked by the tension.
