5.0 out of 5 stars Long Live Our Troubadour!, June 16, 2001

This review is from: Things Have Changed / Alive 3 (Audio CD)

Any die-hard Dylan fan knows that Bob is an open-hearted human being, a poet so good at conveying our feelings because he knows how to convey his own. At the age of 60, here he comes again, quenching our thirst for good poetry, with this amazing single CD:

1) "Things have changed" - a real bliss! More than ever, Bob shows us some irony that can surely be taken as a synonym of wisdom! If his sad poetry, like Idiot Wind, was wonderful, what can we say about this? Besides the cheerful bass line and guitars, the lyrics are nothing but excellent, not only for the very well chosen rimes, but also for the whole imagery suggested: what a picture is to imagine Uncle Bob wheeling a woman down the street in a wheel barrow. What about Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy?

2) "Highlands (live)" - listen to it at least twice, it's bound to grow on you. This must be the best song ever written about death, and the dialog with the waitress in the Boston Town Restaurant sounds way wittier here than on Time Out Of Mind.

3) "Blowin' in the wind (live)" - nothing special. Sounds a bit like The Times They Are A-changing from MTV unplugged, but it's ok.

4) "Make you feel my love (live)" - to be honest, I never listen to this. Never did like it, not even the original version, and this doesnt happen to be any better. Since it's the last track, it doesn't actually bother the listening experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Times Have Changed, July 29, 2000

This review is from: Things Have Changed / Alive 3 (Audio CD)

I knew when I first heard Times Have Changed that it was going to be a great CD, and kept waiting and waiting to hear where I could find it. The only disappointment about this CD is how great it is an how hard it was to find out about. I do not own every single thing Dylan has, but this is a must have.

This review is from: Things Have Changed / Alive 3 (Audio CD)

Three reviews in one, because anyone who buys one of these CD singles is going to want to buy them all. Also, it's easier to understand just what you're getting with these singles if you can see them all together.

Love Sick: Dylan Alive Vol. 1. (Japan) Eight Tracks on Two CDs. First CD: 1. Love Sick (Album version), 2. Can't Wait, 3. Roving Gambler, 4. Blind Willie McTell. Second CD: 1. Love Sick (Grammy Version), 2. Cold Irons Bound, 3. Cocaine Blues, 4. Born In Time

Not Dark Yet: Dylan Alive Vol. 2 (Japan). 1. Not Dark Yet (Album Version), 2. Boots Of Spanish Leather, 3. Tears Of Rage, 4. Senor (Tales Of Yankee Power) ''Things Have Changed: Dylan Alive. Vol. 3 (Japan). 1. Things Have Changed (Album Version), 2. Highlands, 3. Blowin' In The Wind, 4. Make You Feel My Love

With the exception of the three album versions and the version of "Love Sick" recorded at the Grammy's the rest of the songs were recorded live on that tour of Mr. Ds that never ends.

It doesn't take too much imagination to see that if the people in the suits at Sony threw away the album versions of the above songs, they could combine the rest of the stuff on the three CD singles and make a pretty darned good live album that would be representative of Dylan's Never Ending Tour. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll get lucky and they'll do that. I say lucky, because these songs are great and Dylan is in fine voice. This stuff belongs together, should be listened to together. We can only hope, but until then, they all get five stars.
