People will always talk down on Dylan's voice, his guitar playing, (insert whatever) but you're missing the whole point about what makes Dylan great. He is not a polished artist and he doesn't care, he is about the FEELING. I guess you either connect with him and feel it or you don't, but for us who do I can tell you his FEEL is unmatched.
Dylan: I can imagine he makes people feel emotional when he orders breakfast. Lovely to hear a version of a song that we Irish think belongs to Paul Brady (even if it comes from the states). Love all songsters. You make us laugh and cry and love.
Paul Brady's version sounds like leaving his love to lie sleeping in the wee morning hours to have coffee by the window sill with daylight peeking through. Bob's version sound's like road weary traveler sitting in the back of a bumpy carriage to return to this "cree ol girl". Both versions are beautiful and true to the heart of the song.
that`s a real nice way looking at it.lots of youtube listeners think music is sports. Brady won against dylan. ornette coleman / miles davis 2:0 etc. fools they are.
Anyone hating on this version of this song are missing the whole point of this song. It dosnt matter the voice behind the lyrics but the story that's being told and the story that you can envision while listening to it, it paints the story of stranger in a strange world meeting the one person in the whole world that he fell in love with and the pain that follows it, this could be read out in the most monotonous voice and still have the same punch, credit to Paul Brady that a musical legend such as Dylan should want to cover his song. It's a tribute to the people of Ireland and the emotions we are able transfer in music. One of the most beautiful songs ever to be written.
Lakes of Pontchartrain are on the borders of New Orleans and this song originated in the USA. Songs are Universal and very often interpreted by Irish singers in an excellent way, i enjoy many versions of this great song
the music is from the traditional Irish song Lilly of the West, and based on a Gaelic song. the Gringos then had their own version of Lilly based in the US. Then the music was used in Pontchartrain with different lyrics. The song did not originate in the US. It was brought, like many songs, by the Irish immigrants. Like all folk songs they change with time and place. Popular Gringo - all Gringo music really, is certainly exported to Ireland and everywhere else, but rest assured Mike, can I call you Mike?, that folk songs were imported to the US and not the other way around.
Pure raw feeling a classic Dylan at his best even tho it's no ones song I think he makes it his own with the heart and soul he puts into it well done Bob
The first version of this song that I heard was by Grammy award winner Aoife O'Donovan. Its still my favorite of the many versions I have since listened to. Her solo work and her work with the trio "I'm With Her" have got me through many dark days, especially this year (2020)
I think anyone who contests that Paul Brady is greater forgets the most fundamental fact about folk songs. They have been sung for hundreds of years by thousands (perhaps more) of different singers. Different keys, different instruments, different rhythms. That is the essential beauty of folk songs. These songs cannot be mastered by any one person.
First time I heard this, I thought "complete butchery", but I must admit this version is growing on me and I find myself coming back to it. Energy indeed
Comparisons are odious ...You prefer what you prefer..variety is the spice of life and what keeps thes beautiful old songs alive and well , even if you don't prefer them.
Paul’s is technically superior and his voice is beautiful in the classic Irish sense. Bob Dylan is Bob Dylan. This is him having a few minute’s rest without the yoke of having to be Bob, harking back to his coffee house days and enjoying himself in the process. Anyone who loves the guy, also loves that phrasing and his ability to take songs down all sorts of vocal paths, love it or hate it. GE Smith on accompanying guitar also shines. These acoustic sets in the hard driving R&R concerts of that period were a joy to behold. I love both of them so comparisons are both pointless and odious. Bob is also one of Paul’s biggest fans, remember.

I'd add a vote for this version over Brady's which is a little tepid in comparison, but the best version I've heard is on the album Blue Horse by Be Good Tanyas (Jolie Holland).
I'd love to hear a version of Bob Dylan singing this when he was younger, Arthur McBride too I love Bob Dylan but his age has effected him as it will/does us all.
Though I've had a love-hate relationship with Bob for twenty five years, and though I adore his voice at times, it's not about his voice. It's about his feeling, his cadence, the emotion, the poetry. If anyone has a right to cover anyone, it's Bob. Admittedly, the adorable version is Brady-Irvine. Bob, as pointed out, held Brady in high regard. ua-cam.com/video/Ad8RVexRUoQ/v-deo.html
This was at Greek Theater , Berkeley (CA) on 10 June 1988 . It's the 2nd live version ever , the first was on the first concert of Never Ending Tour 1988 , two days ago . GE Smith plays with Dylan . Of course there isn't San Francisco Bay Blues on video , Dylan played it in this concert (the first live version since 1961) , but not with Neil Young . Neil Young guesting several times with Dylan along this Interstate Summer Tour of North America , but not the cover of San Francisco Bay Blues . He played two times more this song in 1988 , the last ever was in Neil Young's Bridge School Concerts in Oakland on 04 Dec.'88 , he plays six songs (maybe seven) only with GE Smith on acoustic guitar .
@@blackcrow7049 I was just wondering if what you meant was that Bob had previously played the Lakes of Ponchartrain in 1961. If so, I'm a little confused as the Irish singer Paul Brady talks about Bob approaching him much later (early eighties according to Brady) to learn how to play the song. ua-cam.com/video/n5_5WMH8qMQ/v-deo.html
When I said '' the first since 1961'' I was talking obviously ''San Francisco Bay Blues , not Lakes of Ponchartrain , because the uploader wrote in the title of the video . Read again my first comment and sorry about my poor English.
And about Paul Brady , I known this video and really I can't understand how Paul Brady can say something like that , because it sounds very unreal and disrespectful . I would to hear Bob's version , probably it must be a Little diferent . The only reference that I known about Bob talking about Paul is on the Biograph , where he mention him together with another great musicians . According Wiki The best know version of the song use the tune for 'Lily of the West' especially the recordings by the Irish Traditional music group Planxty , which Paul Brady played sometimes , and they give Mike Waterson , an English Singer and songwriter as their source in 1974 , or on his first solo álbum in 1978 ... 1978 ¡¡¡¡¡ In that year Bob Dylan have recorded great part oh his masterworks albums as Blood on The Tracks , The Freewheelin' , Desire , etc .... and Paul Brady came TO LEARN him how put the fingers on the neck of the guitar to play three chords . I think he must lighting a candle each day of the rest of his life to thank Dylan only talk about him and mention his name on a sleeve note . There's no secret how Dylan had recorded some of his songs , he don't tried to hide never , this is another great aspect of his geniality . He known a lot of those Apalachian song , Irish and Scottish songs , English too , Americana tradition , etc . Probably most of these great songs would be lost among hundrets of other popular & traditional songs , and we must also thank Dylan (and other artists) to give visibility to those songs and also many artists who have interpreted them , and not Brady-made , which seems to have taught Dylan to play guitar . Take a look on this johnfitz.com/project/lakes-of-pontchartrain/ .
Ok lads, old melody, these lyrics from civil war, probably wrote by an Irish man who fought on confederate side xx anyways that's What I was always told.
That's Funny! The Beatles The Clancy Brothers U2 Pink Floyd Christie Moore Donovan Joan Baez David Gray Leonard Cohen Mary Black etc The Rolling Stones Joni Mitchell Bruce Springsteen David Bowie Mark KNOPFLER Eric Clapton Van Morrison Paul Brady Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Wow!( My finger ) A L L. DID!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can not kill a folk song, you can only harm it by NOT singing it, leaving to wither away on a dusty library shelf. That said, I prefer Brady's, Moore's and my own version over that of Bob , but he's entitled to sing it, as are you, if you wish.
@Michael Kelly I agree with your first sentence. But Dylan is a prolific poet for the ages, and might I say, "untouchable" in his own sphere of songwriting , even if his voice on Lakes of Ponchartrain is utter crap.
Hugo Foxwood Where in the name of f*ck do you think the Lakes of Ponchartain are? Brady's version is a piece of genius, but not enough to remake geogaphy over anew.
Hugo Foxwood sorry Hugo but Mr Glackin is right Lake Ponchartrain is near New Orleans in Louisiana in the good old US of A. Dylan also does a version of Arthur Mc Bride to boot !...Bob likes Paul Brady ( who doesn't ? ) anyroad its all good !
Shane Glackin No sorry, Bob Dylan just clumsily bangs this out with a tinny wavering voice. Paul Brady has a far more superior understanding of the nostalgic feeling of pain, and longing, his intricate guitar picking style FAR surpasses Bob Dylans butchering WHACKS at the guitar.
Paul Brady does a beautiful version,Mr. Zimmerman gives it a long and lingering death;out of tune ,struggling to get on the notes,and failing.......next please! .
+Nancy Conway 'He could never sing' - bullshit. If you don't like his voice, ok. I don't like Cliff Richard's voice, but I don't say he can't sing. Granted, Dylan's voice has become variable in old age. Go and listen to his version of 'Moonshiner', 'Corrina, Corrina' or 'Tomorrow is a Long Time' and then tell me he could never sing. 'His only talent is as songwriter/poet' - yeah, that ain't much, is it?
Oh good Jaysus That is one awful version of the song .He was never much of a singer but that is an insult to the music ., no breath control and bum notes all over the place . Give it up Mr Zimmerman !
Sciomlan Bite your tongue. Morrison, Brady, and Moore did not come from Dylan. Morrison was majorly influenced by the blues and R&B (listen to Jackie Wilson), Brady's influences are well documented (research his interviews etc. - Dylan learned from Brady, not the other way around), and Christy was influenced by Woody Guthrie much more than Dylan. The notion that lack of Dylan would have prevented them is ludicrous.

yep. dead on. every word he sings just connects with my soul more than any other artist. any other person really.
absolutely !!!
Alex - *hear hear (as in "I hear, and agree, with what you are saying" - and I do.
Agree, but he is often a little too unmodulated and ungoverned.

Also Christy Moore might disagree with you 😁

This is one of the best versions of this great song.
Pure raw feeling a classic Dylan at his best even tho it's no ones song I think he makes it his own with the heart and soul he puts into it well done Bob
The first version of this song that I heard was by Grammy award winner Aoife O'Donovan. Its still my favorite of the many versions I have since listened to. Her solo work and her work with the trio "I'm With Her" have got me through many dark days, especially this year (2020)
Check out Paul Brady !!That's who taught Dylan how to play it. Aoife is great but Paul Brady with Andy Irvine is the best .
What a great version !!, really love the guitar playing & of course Bobs great vocal style ...
Amen!
Neil Young is playing on this btw. He played 4 nights with Bob in 1989. Bob thought Neil was unhinged! But they became great friends. x
I think anyone who contests that Paul Brady is greater forgets the most fundamental fact about folk songs.
They have been sung for hundreds of years by thousands (perhaps more) of different singers.
Different keys, different instruments, different rhythms.
That is the essential beauty of folk songs.
These songs cannot be mastered by any one person.
to each their own :)
Quite so - moreover, folk songs are of course sung by 'folk' who may, or may not, possess 'good' voices - that is kind of the point of folk music...
Matthew Zunder Diff'rent folks, diff'rent strokes
Bobby said there weren't any bad songs
Strawberry! Brady has a "better" voice, but Dylan sings this song, and you are there with him, not so with Brady.
I would say that Dylan was attracted to this beautiful song,first and foremost for it’s lyrical content.Being a poet himself.Excellent.
he was taught by ...
Taught to him by Paul Brady who does a much better version.
@@skippership7 agree. what a contrast, they should collaborate
Wonderful performance go the maestro, thank you.
Love both versions. What a song. Thank fook for good music like this with the rubbish today.
There is no end to this man
This is my favorite version of this
First time I heard this, I thought "complete butchery", but I must admit this version is growing on me and I find myself coming back to it. Energy indeed
Agreed!
He plays guitar like a butcher. His style of singing is great - but still it is Paul Brady who owns the song.
This is a National Treasure, do not loose track.
Collewcted in Canadian lumber camp in the 1880s I believe, the girl in the collected song was blonde. It's in Sam Henry's "Songs of The People".
Dylan version pure class like a road weary traveller looking love and his voice is perfect for this song Genius :)
Never realized how good he was playing guitar1

Indeed sir, indeed. Well stated Mr. McManus. Thank you.
yeah, Bob, went off and did all that other stuff.. But foremost, and forever, there'll never be another folksinger as good as him.
I think Paul Brady's well known performance of this song (recorded when he was 30) may well surpass the 71-year-old Dylan's, but I love them both.
Correct.
But Dylan played this version many, many years ago, when he was young!

@@JohnMDuffy1 Yep.
without that Arthur mcbride tone that Paul Brady keeps , this Dylan interpretation reach eventually the deeper flavour of such poetry.

try reading the lyrics.
This song just needs an Irish accent, plain and simple.
Its not an Irish song - it's US
Please Bob let Paul Brady sing this song, your brilliant but take a step back with this song 🍀
Better than his version of Arthur McBride but no one sings it like Paul Brady
an American song sung by an American singer.....not the greatest version but f**k it its flipping Dylan !!
No! An Irish song sung by an American singer. Type Paul Brady into UA-cam for a better version.
Hugo Foxwood Where in the name of f*ck do you think the Lakes of Ponchartain are? Brady's version is a piece of genius, but not enough to remake geogaphy over anew.

Shane Glackin No sorry, Bob Dylan just clumsily bangs this out with a tinny wavering voice. Paul Brady has a far more superior understanding of the nostalgic feeling of pain, and longing, his intricate guitar picking style FAR surpasses Bob Dylans butchering WHACKS at the guitar.
I know the lyrics it doesn't help lol
its not even close brady by a mile
Why Compare!
With All The Great Songs He Wrote.....Why On Earth Would He BUTCHER A Traditional Song Like This????
load of bollix
:) sorry Bob, but here Dylan - Brady: 0 - 3
Lazy Shark You're not bad yourself. I prefer Irish folk songs on your channel instead of this Nobel literate. /br, a subscriber
Dylan conveys a little more prufundity.
Brady's guitar is more intricate, more accomplished. Bob is Bob. Flaws and all. But in terms of musicianship, Brady leaves him in the shadows.

well that was terrible
