We now know, with the release of The Complete Budokan 1978, that this great Dylan song was a real highlight of the World Tour '78. Both the funk groove and the gospel chorus really add to the song.
I didn’t mean To treat you so bad You shouldn’t take it so personal I didn’t mean To make you so sad You just happened to be there, that’s all When I saw you say “goodbye” to your friend and smile I thought that it was well understood That you’d be comin’ back in a little while I didn’t know that you were sayin’ “goodbye” for good But, sooner or later, one of us must know That you just did what you’re supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you I couldn’t see What you could show me Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid I couldn’t see How you could know me But you said you knew me and I believed you did When you whispered in my ear And asked me if I was leavin’ with you or her I didn’t realize just what I did hear I didn’t realize how young you were But, sooner or later, one of us must know That you're just doin' what you’re supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you I couldn’t see When it started snowin’ Your voice was all that I heard I couldn’t see Where we were goin’ But you said you knew an’ I took your word And then you told me later, as I apologized That you were just kiddin’ me, you weren’t really from the farm An’ I told you, as you clawed out my eyes that I Never really meant to do you any harm But, sooner or later, one of us must know That you just did what you’re supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you
Bob! You are practically perfect to me. You’ve made me very happy to adore you and your music. You’re amazing and something sultry this way comes for you. I wish for you to have the happiest life and surrounded by friends and loved ones always ❤️
The image of Dylan next to Ali is a propos- he throws himself into this song like a boxer. For anyone else this would be a crowning achievement, for him just another rehearsal
Yes that is us. It happened precisely so. Every line. And the picture is right too. My friend god sitting there thinking I really need to get my act together throwing it all away like that. See Dylan laugh. That is the laugh of a man who just threw away his life. How does he do these songs so convincingly. It is supernatural. And god says stay around and learn.
Two of my favorite people in the recent history of humanity sitting next to each pther.

How much am i allowed to love this picture you provided?! Thanks so much for this!
I can't tell you how much I love this song i play it every day with all the other great songs thanks
In my world, best of all Dylan Songs. Very psychedelic without being obvious.
That means nothing. Anyone can take acid.
I didn’t mean
To treat you so bad
You shouldn’t take it so personal
I didn’t mean
To make you so sad
You just happened to be there, that’s all
When I saw you say “goodbye” to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well understood
That you’d be comin’ back in a little while
I didn’t know that you were sayin’ “goodbye” for good
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That you just did what you’re supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldn’t see
What you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn’t see
How you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin’ with you or her
I didn’t realize just what I did hear
I didn’t realize how young you were
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That you're just doin' what you’re supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldn’t see
When it started snowin’
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn’t see
Where we were goin’
But you said you knew an’ I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin’ me, you weren’t really from the farm
An’ I told you, as you clawed out my eyes that I
Never really meant to do you any harm
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That you just did what you’re supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you

No sé lo qué dice, pero no me canso de escucharla horas y horas sin cansarme. Un genio de la música y la comunicación emotiva.

Love it. Sounds like accompaniment and chorus from Bob's Gospel years ?
1978 Rundown Rehearsal Studio
Nice version
Amazing
NO WORDS I AM CRYING AS I REMEMBER THAT NIGHT
whoa. !
Nice! Is this the Street Legal tour?
Has anyone ever heard Ali sing "stand by me" if you haven't I'd highly recommend it while looking to the After midnight sky
❤️
♥️♥️♥️
he was your good friend
Too good to be true. How does he do it?
It was in the same year when he decided to become a christian and published the "Budokan".
Usually he never showed such happiness on the stage.

Does anyone know where I can find this version on CD?
The Rundown Rehearsal Tapes
Who killed Davey Moore?

Nice Guys finish last, don't they Dylan! or Zimmerman, whatever the Hell, both your names are!
Nice but not even close to the original
What does that even mean? It's Bob Dylan. He never plays the a song the same way that he did originally.
