Title: Like A Rolling Bob
Product review: Through the years I have read and heard a lot of mixed feelings about 'Hard Rain'. I think time has brought to light that the ragged feel of these versions by and large does them justice. The killer take on "Shelter From The Storm" is worth the price of the disc alone.There is a very cool swagger to the way the Rolling Thunder Review approached these songs. "You're A Big Girl Now" benefits in the same way "Shelter" does. The original versions on 'Blood on the Tracks' are nothing short of wonderful but don't have the raw edge these live versions do. I appreciate that Dylan was never one to duplicate what he did in the studio. I love that he takes risks and re-interprets his songs.Bob Dylan's live albums in general have been a mixed bag. This and 'Live 1966' have become my personal favorites. If you haven't listened to 'Hard Rain' in a while or aren't familiar it's worth the time.
