Blasphemy! I like Van Morrison, but Bob Dylan was...is my god. And you're probably right...the rhythm, the energy, the spin, the guitar, were on point in this. But nobody can sing a Dylan song like Dylan, no one can replicate the pain, those emotions, other than Bob Dylan himself...I mean, those were his stories, his experiences; and he could write many good songs that many good artists could cover, but only he knows how they're really played. And to be honest, I just don't break like a little girl listening to this.

There will never, ever be another Van Morrison, the Belfast Lion ..or Bob Dylan, who's brilliance changed all our lives!!! I'm so happy I lived in their time!!!!!!!!
Van Morrison has been in my life since the early 1970's. His music and voice are like a heart and brain massage at the side of a babbling brook on a warm sunny day, with not a care in the world.
A great analogy of how his music feels! Hes been my favorite since the 1970. And he never stops growing and creating! Both brilliant and humble, a very rare and unique combination💚
I got introduced to Van by a friend. He had just heard a new release & heard 'Into The Mystic' blow him away. He then prompting blew me away with it as well. To this day, I remember that moment.
Genius for sure, a legend, you can easily ignore van if you were unaware of his talent and just go about your day, however if you listen to him for a while, you can feel he lives deep down inside your soul. He stirs your spirit andcreates great harmony. A man I would truly love to meet.
He is no fucking genius. Stop throwing that word around. There is no such thing as genius. Everyone practices to get good at something and VM is no different.
@JP McCray Is it possible for a non-"genius" to determine who is and isn't a "genius"? Let's be clear about the lack of critical faculties: that you LIKE or "LOVE" a thing DOES NOT mean that the thing is "genius" -- such declarations are SELF-flattery. And he ruins this by going with the "gay" fantasy put on it by morons. "Queen Mary" was more likely a drug than a person.
Blood on The Tracks was 1975, followed by an amazing number 1 best selling Album Desire, Slow Train Coming (1979)was amazing, the production, the passion in the lyrics (I even like street legal from 1978) in 1981 Shot of Love had some amazing songs, like Every Grain of Sand, then Infidels (1984) with Jokerman and the outtake Blind Willie McTell, i like alot of the other 80s tunes too but in 1989 Oh Mercy was released and that was amazing, masterpiece man. Time out of Mind (1997) was mind blowing and has this whole different feel to it, then Love and Theft (2001) is one of my favourite Dylan albums, has this gangster Martin Scorsese movie vibe to it, and then followed by modern times and together through life which are so so good especially Modern Times, all of the previously mentioned albums were so well received with fans and critics, and then Tempest in 2012 which has to be the darkest album Dylan has every done and it is mind blowing, and his recent crooning albums of American Standards, the musicianship and Dylans vocals are so so clean, although I do like the more course voice he has recently aswell man. I went to see him for my 17th Birthday in May this year, and got to the front and spent the night having the best time singing at the top of my lungs, to songs old and new man, gotta open your mind to his other stuff abit more man, Dylan has a lot of 'decent' or far more than decent stuff after 1975
The song is a gem and Hendrix an excellent guitar player but his cover grossly over-rated by commercialization of his death - unless you are only rating by the guitar play... . Bettered by many since, including Bob himself (Budokan) and Neil Young. Van's cover of JLW is unequalled, although a few others are remarkable: Sophie Hunger's Dirge (amazing), Alan Price's To Ramona, Raitt's Baby Blue and Sandy Denny's Heaven's Door and I'll Keep it With mine are close by Van's masterly cover. Not just great guitar: Great interpretation throughout.
She is amazing. I remember her cover of Brel's "Ne me quitte pas" unequalled to date. But - by one hair - I prefer Van's JLW... and now the very innovative "Dirge" by Sophie Hunger... Such a difficult choice.!!!!
Van the man..I would love too fly from the usa too his country of Ireland and listen too all his songs driving around country,it would be the best travel guide ever
@@Debrenta ok..well, queen of the slipstream is amazing! then u have cypress avenue,astral weeks,bulbs,cul de sac..there's just so many its like the rolling stones on and on..
Alan ---Don't think you can appreciate. Van the man as much as I can. He is 1 of a kind. EVERYTHING he did &does is so good. People have to have a certain ear to hear & soul to feel what he says. I believe that he is in tune with the universe !!!How can 1 man have so much to give ?Since I was 13 he has made me feel, think,enjoy & I pray I'll see him in concert 1 day. That would blow me away.
Just read your comment after I posred mine and must say we have the same admiration. I too was 13 and only play him on special times. He is in tune, a great point to make. A loyal old dog and a voice than can rip your heart open
You're his biggest fan ? And you haven't seen him in concert ? One of those statements is not true. Unless you have no arms and legs, and are confined to an oxygen tent and were struck down with blindness in your teens, whilst living on an atoll in the mid pacific ocean.
God's child labor of Love Van's biggest fan God bless the Irish. You can't be a bigger fan than me. I remember hearing Gloria at 12 it was just released, been hooked from then on.
@@adellzachary3171 Who the hell are you? Good evening judge? And good f****** bye, hey, go take your drugs you're deranged, David, stand up and say something, you know this man has no taste, I wonder what groups or singers he really likes?
@@johnpayne6860 what is there to say To fools like this John? Van Morrison has Written countless songs that were covered by Seriously respected Artists ( guess they suck too?) He is in the R&R HOF, still selling shows out what 50yrs after He started? You want to say you don't like his version? the guy can say that, he's not a fan? Sure, that's acceptable, people have covered it better? Or He likes Dylans original better? Fine, but to say an Artist sucks? Why bother even arguing with the clown.
Willie Finn don't forget Eric Burden! His version of Bob's song it all over now baby blue is nothing short of spectacular. His collection of blues songs speaks for itself also! No disrespect to Van at all! I'd just put Eric ahead of him personally...
Was Burden not more Rock than Blues?? Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison didn't emulate Burden.... People still still to this day mistake early Van Morrison for Jagger. Plus he played guitar, harmonica, keyboards and saxophone to session music standard.
It's that deep soulful voice of van. It's the same with its all over now baby blue by, Them. It's two geniuses colliding. I don't need a religion. Music like this is my faith. It's helped me through rough times.
One Irish Rover is a doc on Van where he sings 2 songs with Bob at the Greek ruins on acoustic. One of the best music docs ever. Best version of One Irish Rover.
I can`t begin think how empty my life would be without these great music people around for past 58 years. The world would most definately be a much lesser place for sure.
@@jnagarya519 I think it’s not so much recognizing genius as it is knowing when you’ve discovered something that’s far beyond all else you’ve experienced in a particular realm. Call it what you want.
It was raining from the first and I was dying of thirst so I came in here but your long time curse hurts but what is worse is this pain in here ain't it clear that I can't stay in here . Bob Dylan was a great poet, he knows it. I hope I didn't blow it for my friend Bob.
Perfect ..Bob would be proud ..and I love when they have sang together ..there is a thread with these two writers and singers ...they bring joy and the deeper meaning .
🏋️What a powerful comment, re the lack of soul expressed these days. And it is partly because humans don't seem capable of caring equally. We crave equality on the one hand. On the other, we treat celebrities for example, with (often) false respect. Even when it"s authentic, it's outcome is not what humans need. (After all, Weinstein, Jimi Saville and Myra Hindley were also made iconic by media....)
Yes, Morrison's voice really seems to enter soothingly into tortured (or not) souls. He's probably responsible for as many MH Healings as hundreds of psychotherapists & Counsellors
Love the song and never heard this version, funny, I was just singing, it tonight to myself thinking, about Bob Dylan 78th birthday and one of my favorites, but I have to say, thanks to God I found this cover, Van Morrison I love you too, man love and respect!
every time I listen to this (which is often!) I'm struck at hearing his voice at the beginning -- his accent is so strong then. It really 'mellowed' over the years. Yeah, I know, I know, he lived in Calif for years. Still.
Not a fan of Dylan covers but WOW! !! This is spectacular... Feeling pretty broken today, lucky for me, wouldn't have listened to this one on another day. Fair play to you Van Morrison, pity you aren't around to bless the world with more of your brilliance.
Patricia Crawford our boy is alive and kicking....giving regular gigs in the Culloden Hotel outside Holywood ( with one L as it is in N Ireland...his home) in little dinner shows to paying guests. Still got it!
You really believe Dylan is that literal? But isn't that typical of women? They look for someone to LOVE THEM -- not someone TO LOVE. Ever the center of their own self-regard, and had better be the same for everyone else, especially men.
There's only one version that comes close to the creator, not the imitator of this song, and its Jimi Hendrix. Dylan created this song, others imitated what Dylan's mind created. Yes, van's version is exceptional, Hendrix's version is special, but it cannot ever be denied Dylan is the creator, and innovator, without Dylan the two impersonators would have no song to sing. We wouldn't be having this conversation. Period.
Van and his soulful way brought me and not boasting, many a beautiful and loving female friend dancing closely and in the mood for kissing, hugging and squeezing. It was wonderful for the present company on those dimly lit week end moments. K
@@goneatlast I bet Van The Man or Belfast Cowboy. I had each on one cassette so never knew which was which but sadly the tape has gone but who knows where...
@@lindahinzman4145my main memory was wonderfully flowing guitars but also a great Just Like A Woman, a version of Madame George and surprisingly the Italian / Dean Martin song Buena Sera. I have no idea what happened to the cassette!
Van does such an amazing job with this. He puts his soul into it, and his humble intro adds to the charm. I believe he may have outdone Dylan. Just my opinion...
Peter Reed I think i was there.Gorge amphitheater the town was called George, Washingtonr dylan was opener,then Joanne Mitchell.Van the man was headliner. Only time I ever got to see van live. The Belfast cowboy. Best modern musician.
Great, great find. Very clean so I'm guessing not a bootleg maybe a bonus track from an Asian or European release. With all the tense stops & starts it's definitely 69-70 Caledonia Soul Orchestra. Thanks so much enjoyed immensely.

This is the best version of this song I’ve ever heard. His rhythm and energy as a vocalist is simply unmatched. What phrasing.
Agree. Staggeringly sweet, cheeky and yes that phrasing. And as for that ending
jeff buckley does a stunning live version which i think pips this one, theres a moment in it that defies words.
@@HuxleyWasRight I love Jeff Buckley but he does not play in the same league...

If I didn't know Dylan wrote this, I would believe Van did. He sings it like it is his.
You never know where Van's going, but if you trust him, it's always a special trip.

Van’s music is just so special. Terrific artist! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this expression about him. It’s perfect. He’s the quicksand and you resolve to drown in his voice.
🎯
The thing about discovering Van Morrison is that you never want to listen to anyone else!
So so true
Alfiehan i guess we only want the best ,,,Van the man is utter joy ,olso hes a complete genius lol xx
Heck yeah ( my brown eyed girl) I have to 2 of them💝💝 Van Is A Bad MOFO' 🎤Class Of His Own🌹🎤🎤🎵🎼🎸😄😎✌😘🎶Love Him😍
So true I love him
It's not just me then
There will never, ever be another Van Morrison, the Belfast Lion ..or Bob Dylan, who's brilliance changed all our lives!!! I'm so happy I lived in their time!!!!!!!!
There will never ever be another of anyone.
...and they are still both vital!
And there will never be another you. Or me. Or anyone else. So?
And still living and enjoying i hope!
So True !

Well put! he is my total religion

A legend covering a legend, beautiful
You can really hear how much Van loves this song.. An unbelievable good version of an unbelievable great song.
Love this...thanks for share.
Great comment VL i totaly agree
that was truly a moving, soulful rendition.......he was the song.......unforgettable.
HI
SOOOO awesome! Great phrasing. Dylan must love it!
great song, great composition....
Best version I've ever heard of this song. Van the Man.
❤🎉
Simply the best ever! Life is better with Van Morrisons voice.
Truth
Superb phrasing of the lyrics.
I got introduced to Van by a friend. He had just heard a new release & heard 'Into The Mystic' blow him away. He then prompting blew me away with it as well. To this day, I remember that moment.
Never heard this before, but glad I did, Van does his version of this beautiful song justice, a wonderful. song.
Agree that he "does justice" to this song
This is an amazing version of this song. The good ones always give me goosebumps..Van did it again
Fact
In a very beautiful and special moment of my life I’m crying of joy while listening to this rendition of a stunning music poem.
I don't think we're alone.
No, Definitely not alone.
I just played this gem over and over, again.... Why have I not heard this before now? Amazing as always, Van!
A TRULY A SOVEREIGN RENDERING OF THIS CLASSIC LOVE ❤️ SONG!

Yup, but to this day he can still do it, which is amazing. When you have soul it doesn't go away.
My two.very very favorites. If you don't love this. You must be dead! Van singing Bob. WOW !
So different, so unique, so heart-felt, so à la VAN!
Ohhhh my i adore Van Morrison ♥️ forever and a day i have loved him ❤❤❤
What a twosome Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. Two musical and poetry geniuses and both loners.
alan murr :Sorry mister Van Morrison is a voice not the poet??.Bob Dylan is the best genius poet of the world!
I do not agree. Van Morrison' is a great poet and songwriter
Cactus J. Shame he hasn't done anything decent since early 70s blood on the tracks.

This track is from a KSAN FM live performance. I remember listening to it on a sunday evening, in 1971.
One of the best renditions. Can't believe I've got to 64 and just sussed this.
bob dylan ballads
Nearly 66 same here
No words to describe the way this song makes we feel.
Perhaps the best ever Bob cover of all.

I saw Van last night in Berlin, what a great pleasure. He is one of the best!
I saw Van in 1972! He was mesmerizing.
He's my favorite artist ever.
I saw him in Clearwater, Florida 2016, the man just KEEPS getting better AND sexier!
I saw him in '74 or '75. Left virtually hypnotized and the most peaceful I've ever been.
we need to dance in crowds, we need to hear music played loud, once in a while just to be proud, just like, a little happy group of people.
"Pride goeth before a fall."
Laughed out loud when he said, "I was so weird and you were weird too." Great.
Ain't that the truth with all women?
I meant that to you Michael S Moore, LOL!
That's Van!!!!
What an amazing cover. These two are legends in their own way. I'd pay anything to see these guys together on stage some day.
I love them both- both genius songwriters. I can't imagine not having their songs in my life.
I can't imagine how a non-"genius" could recognize "genius" in anyone. Except, of course, to flatter one's own tastes.

It was raining from the first and I was dying of thirst so I came in here but your long time curse hurts but what is worse is this pain in here ain't it clear that I can't stay in here . Bob Dylan was a great poet, he knows it. I hope I didn't blow it for my friend Bob.
YEAH VAN YOU ARE THEBEST
Omg! Where has this been all my life?
I like it with Dylan. I love it with Manfred Mann. I´ve got no words for it with Van Morrison!
Joe Cocker too.
I would love it if he did this song again. A newer version. He does so well in this song.
He did, but this is perfection.
The previous comment is SO TRUE. Not only do I listen to him exclusively, but I talk about him and his music ALL THE TIME!
His music always moves me. True soul in every track
totally transformed the song and that's what a good cover should do...a great song and a great cover. Thanks to both artists.
Perfect ..Bob would be proud ..and I love when they have sang together ..there is a thread with these two writers and singers ...they bring joy and the deeper meaning .

Wow! Thanks for that. Definitely worth taking a trip up north for! Have a great day xx
Oh God I'm cryng with this song 😭😭😭😭
this great old one is new to me - by the great Van..

Georgia Tina could u imagine a man writing a song like this for you???
Like a woman should be loved.
@@sarahlakes3515 A man wrote a song for me, called Ride With Me. Romantic.
You really believe Dylan is that literal?
But isn't that typical of women? They look for someone to LOVE THEM -- not someone TO LOVE. Ever the center of their own self-regard, and had better be the same for everyone else, especially men.
@@lindaredlick8821 yeah -- women do set the rules -- then tell the big lie that imposing those rules on men means women are oppressed.
This is stunning. I have never heard this before in all my years of Vanism and Dylanism. I am stoked, its better than Bob's I reckon
Xer Yarrum Ha! "vanism and dylanism"
Xer Yarrum and yes it's AMAZING
true dat
Love them both but Van is streets ahead.
There's only one version that comes close to the creator, not the imitator of this song, and its Jimi Hendrix. Dylan created this song, others imitated what Dylan's mind created. Yes, van's version is exceptional, Hendrix's version is special, but it cannot ever be denied Dylan is the creator, and innovator, without Dylan the two impersonators would have no song to sing. We wouldn't be having this conversation. Period.
Oh I love Van Morrison💚 just the sweetest song everX
One of very, very few who could do Mr. Dylan's song....I like that he did his own way......
Van and his soulful way brought me and not boasting, many a beautiful and loving female friend dancing closely and in the mood for kissing, hugging and squeezing. It was wonderful for the present company on those dimly lit week end moments. K
He is the best ever saw him in concert in Arizona omg it was awesome he sounds great his band omg so so good
We will always love this beautiful, loving song..
Took me a long time to really discover Van Morrison - a thanks goes to my old and lost friend JS.
I have never heard this and I thought I heard everything he'd done. Great cover.
YES!!
This song was a highlight from one of the first bootleg albums I ever bought in the late '70s.
@@goneatlast I bet Van The Man or Belfast Cowboy. I had each on one cassette so never knew which was which but sadly the tape has gone but who knows where...
I was just thinking that too.....I have (I thought) every album he ever did....this is new to me....
@@lindahinzman4145my main memory was wonderfully flowing guitars but also a great Just Like A Woman, a version of Madame George and surprisingly the Italian / Dean Martin song Buena Sera. I have no idea what happened to the cassette!
I grew up with the BEST MUSIC!!! Wish new music was as good! :(
Excellent version - Van the Man.
He's surely one of a kind. What are we gonna do when he's gone?
Listen to the genius of his music and raise a toast...
He will live on in all our hearts and souls...hopefully not too soon 💚
I really enjoy hearing Van Morrison sing. He deserves every success he has achieved.Congratulations!👍👏🏻😍🇧🇷
Fun Song...Like the Song....Another Song well done.
I LOVE this man!
That was brilliant The Irish blues man Van it kind of distills What you thought was Cool. And i believe you are one of the best.
Don't think his DUP pals would call him Irish :(
Van does such an amazing job with this. He puts his soul into it, and his humble intro adds to the charm. I believe he may have outdone Dylan. Just my opinion...
I agree. Its hard to sound better than the original artist but I think he did it on this tune
In my opinion...he puts his soul into everything. He certainly heals my soul
yeah, i saw them together in western washington in 1998 or so. Awesome experience.
Peter Reed I think i was there.Gorge amphitheater the town was called George, Washingtonr dylan was opener,then Joanne Mitchell.Van the man was headliner. Only time I ever got to see van live. The Belfast cowboy. Best modern musician.
@@abner1638 I was there too!
Came in to Penn square up on the Marquis of the Garden was tonight Dylan Morrison.. nyc can be so precious at times
VM reminds me of an Irish Terrier, fierce, tenacious, no compromise.
Love him for his standards too.
Great, great find. Very clean so I'm guessing not a bootleg maybe a bonus track from an Asian or European release. With all the tense stops & starts it's definitely 69-70 Caledonia Soul Orchestra. Thanks so much enjoyed immensely.
Amazing keeps you sane at your lowest.
Van Morrison's music is eclectic wide range good performer good chance
