GUEST,Richard Wastling DYLAN NIGHT - Embarassing Moments (108* d) RE: DYLAN NIGHT - Embarassing Moments 22 Oct 07


Please do some research before making suppositions about Bob's guitar playing - as regards 'Girl from the North Country', there exists is a widely available bootleg video of the Canadian 'Quest' TV show , transmitted on 1st February 1964 on which he plays a bunch of songs live, mostly from the 'Freewheelin' catalogue, including a beautiful fluently finger-picked version of 'Girl from the North Country" (see Google or Youtube http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qhwemir1Ag for evidence!).
Other live audio recordings of that 1963/64 period include, amongst others, competently finger-picked versions of 'Tomorrow is a Long Time', 'Percy's Song and 'Moonshiner Blues' amongst others.
I just think that as Bob got bigger audiences, he went for a bigger sound - anyway, what's so unusual about Dylan changing the way he does a song!
