Bob Dylan - I Want You (REHEARSAL & TAKE 1) [Blonde on Blonde Studio Outtake - 1966]

- This is a request! Here's a fascinating insight into the evolution of one of my personal favorite tracks of Blonde on Blonde. This version is a bit more rocking than the final, more poppy, version (Take 5). This is due to the drummer, Kenneth Buttrey, using sticks instead of the brushes he uses in the final version, which makes a much lighter, thinner sound. Furthermore, this take is one half-step lower than the final take, which is apparent with Dylan's singing voice. It's also fantastic to hear Dylan telling the title of the song to Bob Johnston, the producer, for the first time. Enjoy this gem while you can!

Love the Original verse from trying to get to heaven
Great Comment :)
Wonderful paraphase
little by little... masterpieces
I'm just goin' down the road feelin' bad, tryin' to hear it all before they close the door.
First Bob Dylan song I ever heard on the radio. Went out & bought Blonde on Blonde. Never been the same since.
Mine also.
You got that right. I carried blond on blond around all summer long in 1966

Not heard this before.., brilliant!
The Cracked Bells and Washed Out Horns
Blow into My Face with Scorn
but it's Not That Way
I Wasn't Born to Lose You -
1 was 16 yrs young - in the small village where I lived - first time I heard that line
I thought WOW - I'm not Alone in that thought - I didn't reckon at the time that there was a whole generation
What a treat, not on bootleg series. He knows exactly what he wants. Genius at work.
Bob is a miracle, thanks to God
Like watching Van Gough paint. A fascinating peek into Dylan's creative process and all the careful work that accompanies genius.
I disagree, it's more like watching Van Gogh do Michael Jackson's moondance with the bandaged ear. Totally cool
totally cool
Played this song from Blonde on Blonde while living in a room next to a communist in Berkeley. The FBI agent lived upstairs. Played it several times a day. It was my anthem, my song. I was young, she was a little older, she knew how I felt, but didn't want to go there. I went down to the Folk Club and listened to Lightnin' Hopkins, he told me more about it. I finally cleared out my ears with Muddy's great band with Spann and Cotton, loud and searing, unlike anything I'd ever heard. Cotton's harp roaring through huge Altecs filling the air with heavy blues, "Just to be With You" "You Can't Loose What You Never Had". "Forty Days and Forty Nights" ,I still have the music to listen to, I remember the feelings, young feelings, nearly 60 years ago. It was a time for us all.
I'm at 37 CD's and still hear something new every time I listen. I love this man
I can't believe I've never heard this before. The organ work is magical
It's amazing 60's sound. I want to know exactly what organ and what setting it was on. 🎹🎹
Was a Hammond, that much I remember.
Without the Hammond B3 w/Leslie, BLONDE would have been just another brilliant portion of the mid-60s catalogue
Eric-Scott Bloom absolutely. It was mostly the Hammond which gave the album it’s unique dreamwise sound
al cooper played the organ most likely.. i know he arrangrd the song with bob and the hook lick that threads the song. as well.
Whenever I hear this beautiful song it makes me happy.
One of the best songs of Blonde on Blonde album. Simply an incredible version.
"I have to get acquainted with it", and follows an astounding "Take One". Are you kidding? That's the 1st take? I'm grateful for being allowed to get acquainted with genius recorded in reel time. Genius in the midst of creating, in his place, in his time, in his moment. Beautiful.
the repeated phrase "I want you," and a weird cast of characters ", including a guilty undertaker, a lonesome organ grinder, weeping fathers, mothers, sleeping saviours, the Queen of Spades, and "a dancing child with his Chinese suit". "I Want You" is a song recorded by Bob Dylan in 1966. Recorded in the early morning hours of March 10, 1966, the song was the last one recorded for Dylan's double-album Blonde on Blonde. It was issued as a single that June, shortly before the release of the album.
Perhaps the weird cast of characters in this song can be attributed to his first child being born (Jan 6, '66) and the fact that he was living in NYC before moving his family to Woodstock and where everything and everywhere there is a weird cast of characters. Add that to the fact that he loved at least two other women when he married his 8-mo pregnant wife (Nov 22, '65). Dylan says that behind every beautiful thing there is pain. All his beautiful songs in the 60's means there was a lot of pain also. As much of a prophet Dylan was he was raised with good Midwestern values and married the pregnant girl. The song he wrote for her "Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands" actually ponders if he should wait or not and saying her pockets are well-protected now. The song was half-written before the marriage and half-written after the marriage, explaining the obvious contradictions about the lady in the song. To his credit he actually falls in love with her for real after his motorcycle accident confines him to his home, or perhaps he was just in love with married life with children. He certainly was not faithful to her but he was a good father to his children even after his divorce. I personally saw him and another woman here in California in April '66 when he took her to The Castle in L.A.
@@TheBluewaterBlonde And New Morning was written during his married to Sarah years. That's another underrated album.
TheBluewaterBlonde very interesting information.
@@TheBluewaterBlonde No pain, no gain.
@@TheBluewaterBlonde I'm from the European lowlands and still living there. My mom and dad also and they got married when she was pregnant. Doubts have risen if he was the real father of my oldest sister, which would make it even nobler. She was the prettiest one of the six children in the sixties and has a special kind of social intelligence, often calling herself a dumb blonde.
Bob is building the melody around the 3 note of the scale, that's why it's so low. On the real record he groups it around the 5 note. This lower register really captures the scorn that he was so good at projecting in those days - scorn ofr the enemies of his feelings.
id love to learn that lick on the album track. what are the notes to the lick ? particuly the five chord going back into the one?
Plus he's in F on the album. This is a semi-tone lower (in E).
By the way this becomes a very creepy song if one changes the chords to minor only. Especially the chorus. Fun for Halloween gigs. lol
WOW AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF HISTORY!!!!
I feel so privileged to hear this.
A genius at his apex
OMG the Dylan Candy Store is open for business today!!
What a delightful end to my Sunday
Swingin you're truly doing God's work here.
Well this certainly will stand as the highlight of my day. I’m so glad it was rolling, Bob!
I feel like every take of every song for Blonde on Blonde is brilliant.
Nice to hear the progression of a great song
Keyboards in the mid to late 60s were what made a lot of music great.No one does it that way anymore.
Really for me the first Dylan song I loved. This is great.
I'd love to hear all of Dylan's 'in process' demos or in studio recordings of his stuff. What fun
I believe there was a playlist of nearly 70 videos of Bob's demos and rehearsals, but it was sadly taken down.
There is a lot of this kind of stuff on the bootleg vol 12 the cutting edge. I recommend it!
The bootleg series.
this has the same tenderness as love minus zero but approaches (consciously) self-parody and '60s rock as well. he reworks the old 'needles and pins' riff done to death by then. his vocal phrasing shifts from folkie warmth to Lou Reedish insinuating in one breath. a small jaded masterpiece but he sounds like hes sick of all this repetition and needs yet another new identity.
The master at work.
Thanks so much. A gifted guy offering his gift to all of us. How lucky we are.
I Want all of his rare TAKES!
The most exciting cover of this song was done by a woman singer (Hawkins..maybe sophie, sadie?)
She performed it at the all star celebration of Bobby's 30th anniversary. Although that show has been repeated a few times on public television as a fund raiser, they leave her amazing performance out.
Anyone know why? I watched it in my living room, all alone. By the time she finished, I was almost screaming in delight.
But, for me Bobby, no matter what song, is always the definitive and the best version.
Laugh and cry at the same time.... 1:26....insane version!! i'm living with the drums..thx bob
i'll be lead in with the drums
@@calemiller71 YEP ;)
That's a really great, interesting version of 'I want you ', really nice version, keep on digging out these versions, brilliance!!
I first heard this a long long time ago. It completely blew me away, captured me forever, reverberated with me, and opened my eyes to full artistic expression and to realizing that one individual can truly change the world. Such is the gift of genius.
it sounds pereable and dissolves when listening, you want to hold on to it...magic
It was a privilege to have lived in his lifetime.
Dylan’s such an amazing songwriter, one of my favorites from the guy, the organ definitely makes this
Just revisiting and like it even more! Thank Swingin’𓃟♥
This is my favorite track too on 'Blonde on Blonde'. Thank you for uploading. This is a gem man.
feels like a endless ride, with my heart in time/tune to the rhythm...
And then the Earls Court 78 version. It made me cry. So beautiful
Yes
I find the outakes really fascinating to hear, and enjoy them, but the final versions really shine....
A funny Dylan song as a reference to rolling stone Brian Jones and his ''It girl'' Anita Pallenberg ''the dancing child'' , released as single shortly before the reléase of Blonde on Blonde . Dylan said in 1969 to RS magazine '' I was a tremendous speed ... at the time of my Blonde on Blonde album'' , '' The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind'' , ''that thin , that wild mercury sound '' . Most of the álbum was knocked out between stints on the road during a historically intense bout of touring . Dylan wanted to continue pushing his new sound , and tour with an electric band ... '' the musicians played cards , I wrote out a song , we'd do it , they'd go back to their game and I'd write out another song '' Dylan Interview 1968 .
Playing with Nashville musicians helped create that sound, too. "Smooth as country water."
This is a great opportunity to hear the process behind what we already know & love. Thank you
OMG! I love this! "Honey, I want you." Magical in so many ways 😍😍😍
Buttery was such an essential component of so much of that music back in the day. He backed dozens of performers.
Boy, this is one of my favorite Dylan songs.
Theres one refrain that has become one of my usual earwigs...
"Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit he
Spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him, was I?"
That goes on all the time in my head...can't get it out.
Same goes for "Stuck Inside of Mobile"
Me too! Part of the appeal is the way he seems to be improvising the lines.
@@sparrowx4442 There is a short film of a twenty year old Dylan standing on the corner of some NYC street reading a sign and taking the words of the sign and twisting them around like an anagram to make new sentences. He was cranking out songs and they couldn't come out fast enough.
My stuck inside of Mobile ear wig is:
Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks
But everybody still talks about how
Badly they were shocked
But me, I expected it to happen
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes
I was a 19 year old Marine headed for Vietnam and Danang when I heard that song. The contrast between going to war and listening to Dylan being silly left an indelible mark in my memory.
My favourite tune in the album !!
This is really great! I agree about the drums being better with sticks! I also like the key it’s in and Bob’s dynamics in both energy and phrasing! The keys are little too obvious in it I think which brings me to that little walk down that I’ve always thought a bit too repetitious and therefore too predictable. I really enjoyed this immensely though and the photos rock!! Thanks for uploading! I also love how Bob tells the guy “I want yoo “and the guy says” I want cha”Lol
🌟😎❤️
Reminds me of a lass I was at school with in singapore back in 1966 ahhh those butterflies in the gut keep em coming high flying man
Aaron Kenneth Buttrey was an American drummer and arranger. According to CMT, he was "one of the most influential session musicians in Nashville history". Buttrey was born in Nashville, Tennessee, became a professional musician at age 11 and went on his first world tour at the age of 14 with Chet Atkins. Wikipedia
In case anyone wasn't sure if this song was fantastic from the beginning of its development.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ? Pure Dylan.......
Your videos are can't-miss, Mr. Pig. Thanks as always
very cool....i feel like a fly on the walll...learning one of my favorite tunes.....from the man himself.....if only there was a vid.....no matter im impressed....again
"I Want You"
The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask for me
Open up the gate for you
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ?
But I did though because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I ..
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
Thanks Bob , you shake and touch my soul! love you so bad !!
Fantastic video as always mate, keep the good material coming. We always need more and more of Dylan's gems🖒🖒
Ooooh !!!! A masterpiece is born !!!
Thanks for all of these gems.
Mr. Zimmerman's backing musicians had mega influence on American music in their own right. I'm partial to the final version on the Bl. on Bl. album, but thank you for this unpolished treasure, Swingin' Pig, sir.
Yep, to me the released studio song IS the real "I want you". I've heard it so many times it's burned into my synapses, & any diff version triggers the, "fake cut" alarm!
another great
i love both!
zimmerman and johnson
Thanks for posting this rare treasure! ❤️
Consider this. The song functions on two levels. It is a love song but at the same time he is talking about how he wants the love and admiration of a large audience, larger than he would have in the folk world. The first stanza is about the folk world reacting ("blowing into my face with scorn") to his "going electric". The second stanza is about those, like him, who want and need mass attention/love (politicians, saviors). The third stanza talks about fathers (past generations of folk singers) who did not get true love and a mass following, and the people around him who "know where I'd like to be but it doesn't matter". The last stanza is about the failings of popular musicians (such as Mick Jagger, " the dancing child") who "took you for a ride and because time was on his side", so he "took his flute".
Yes, he did! And what a beautiful song.
I read the chinese suit guy is brian jones.
Thanks so much for posting another gem.
YEAH YOUNG BOB YOU ARE THE BEST
YEAH YOUNG BOB YOU WERE THE BEST
Dude thank you so MUCH!!! THANK YOU!
Many thanks SP for this gem.
Great. Thanks for sharing.
awasome dear Swingin' .... i wish you a wonderful day♥♥♥
It's my favorite Dylan song. Many thanks
how the hell does a 25 year old write stuff like this?
The same way a 21 year old writes Blowing in the Wind I guess. I dont ask anymore I just thank God we have we have it.
You should listen to the songs Ross Wylde has written at 21! and
He also does fantastic Bob Dylan covers!
Benjamin Todd
I think it's actually easier to write in the younger years. A lot of artists have spoken about this. I've written a good deal, and I can attest to it as well. When you're young, it's just... automatic. The songs often come fully formed in your head, and you work them out. When you're older, you have to do it in a sort of "manual" way. Another good example is Alex Turner, he wrote some crazy good songs at like 17 or so. And now he's in his 30's and has spoken about the same thing, doing it in a manual fashion.
So basically youth seems to be a GOOD thing with writing music!
Divine inspiration.
Bringing it all back home/Highway 61 revisited/Blonde on blonde. Whew.
recorded in Nashville
THIS IS MAGNIFICENT.
This is incredible!
Excellent. Thanks!
Bob Dylan the greatest
YES BOB I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU

I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU OUTSIDE IS RAINING
Geliebter Bobby, ich bin nach ca, 24 Stunden des Wachseins total "übernächtigt". Mir fällt gerade ein, dass das bei manchen schwer depressiven Menschen in Kliniken erfolgreich als Therapie eingesetzt wird. Natürlich überwacht und zeitlich begrenzt. So, jetzt sitze ich hier und warte, als Trost für den fehlenden Schlaf, auf den Höhenflug meiner Endorphine. Ich werde Euch berichten, ob der Höhenflug noch kommt.
Lovely to wake up to...
Makes me want to put on my old roller skates.
Guten Morgen, mein Bobby! Ich wünsche uns einen wunderschönen Tag!
Thanks
"Enjoy this gem" - super, so können wir uns später unterhalten....
YEAH YOUNG BOB
I WAS NOT BORN TO LOSEYOU
Geliebter Bobby, mein Schöner, ich gehe jetzt direkt ins Bett. Schlaf gut und bis morgen!!
Guten Morgen, mein immer überaus zärtlicher Bobby!
Agradable video de Bob Dylan,,, bonito juego de sonido,,, es una de las cosas alucinantes de Bob

YEAH YOUNG BOB OUTSIDE WIND IS BLOWING
Thanks. This is wonderful.
