Bob Dylan - Hurricane (Live on PBS, 1975) [RARE ORIGINAL AUDIO] Hotney 5 Streams • 4 years ago

After many requests, here is the other part of Dylan's appearance at WTTW-TV Studios in Chicago on September 10, 1975. This particular video is very special because most other versions you will hear have overdubbed lines on verses 2, 4, 7, and 10. Here is the explanation: This performance was recorded about a month after the first version of "Hurricane" was recorded (find this early version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4JU-ZdVfgc). This was about to be released as a single when Columbia's lawyers blocked it from release, citing worries about lines regarding Arthur Dexter Bradley and Alfred Bello, the two main witnesses, being false and grounds for defamation lawsuits. Read more about this on the "Controversy and Re-recording" section on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....Hurricane_(Bob_Dylan Dylan re-recorded the song again in October. This all happened after this performance, though, so Dylan was still singing his original lyrics. The first broadcast of this concert had the original lyrics, which is what you hear here, but in the second broadcast the following year, controversial lines were overdubbed with the "safe" album version. You can hear the overdubbing relatively clearly at 1:34, 2:52, 5:06, and 7:16 on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H763LZU0Zj4.

He played two songs after this one: "Oh, Sister" (watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smb86Il2sgA) and "Simple Twist of Fate" (watch it here: https://www.facebook.com/watch..../?v=1613108042330095 It's a shame that Dylan's channel doesn't upload good quality versions of this entire concert.

In my opinion, this is the definitive live version of Hurricane; It's so good that I've found myself watching this performance over and over again, and I have "music ADHD" (the habit of skipping songs I've heard after the first verse). I edited this video together using three sources: 1. An original, complete VHS tape is used in the beginning as the host and John Hammond introduce Dylan, 2. A higher-quality transfer I obtained from a bootleg DVD is used for the footage of Dylan's actual performance, and 3. A soundboard audiotape is overdubbed to footage.

This was recorded for the PBS special, "The World of John Hammond", which celebrated the influence and success of legendary talent scout and producer John Hammond; he can be seen at 2:18 grooving along to Dylan's performance. Taping took place at WTTW-TV Studios in Chicago on September 10, 1975, and also included "Hurricane" and "Simple Twist of Fate". This recording was subsequently broadcast that December, and then once more the following year.

Legends such as Benny Goodman and Teddy Wilson were also featured on this show. Whereas they accepted PBS's invitation months in advance, Dylan confirmed just two days prior, as is typical! He recruited some of the musicians who played on his recently completed album, "Desire": Scarlet Rivera (violin), Howie Wyeth (drums), and Rob Stoner (Bass & Backup vocals). This band eventually became the core of Dylan's set on the Rolling Thunder Revue tour, which would start touring the next month. So, one could argue that this is the earliest live performance of the Rolling Thunder Revue. The raw, whispy sound that this four-piece band makes is really incredible, so I wish we had more recordings like this.

Interestingly, when Dylan recruited these musicians, he only told them that they were doing a gig in Chicago, mentioning nothing about being broadcasted on a major television station with Columbia executives in the audience, and not to mention John Hammond himself. Here is a fascinating anecdote from Rivera:
"Bob asked me and the trio of Rob and Howie to join him in Chicago for the tribute to John Hammond Sr, who changed the course of music by his vision and courage to sign many greats, including Bob Dylan, to CBS. This was another First. I had never performed on live TV and now it was going to be in front of every senior executive of CBS and a viewing audience of millions! I am amazed still that Bob had confidence in me to pull this extremely important concert off without failing on live TV, especially as this show was before a single live concert to support Desire. I would also perform "A Simple Twist of Fate" with him, and I had only rehearsed it that afternoon once backstage. Appreciating the song and playing it live with the man himself are two very different things! I was incredibly tense and taut, but I indeed pulled it off, and it is my all-time favorite video of playing live with him."

Love & Peace,

Lyrics:

Look, to you I’m different
It’s cause I refuse to listen
To all the stupid shit that you include in your opinion
I got enough issues trying to be a human living
In a ruined system while I’m running from a crucifixion
You’ll never get it
I put myself in this position
And nothing you could do could ever worsen my condition
So while you try to play the villain
Understand that I’m the monster in my blood
Looking for a way to spill it

I can’t wait till you see what I make
When I paint the walls red with a gun to my brain
And I can’t wait to see the look on your face
When I lay in my own grave I was never afraid to die
Nah I’m playing
I’d never follow through and I’m never gon’ do what you want me to
I’m staying
My mind’s racing, you think it’s cause of you
But my thoughts are like a room
You ain’t even in my basement

Not a day passes I don’t ask myself who am I
And I have a habit of imagining my suicide
The thoughts I’m having got me battling my stupid mind
Why does every situation have to be a do or die
Have to be a foolish lie
Something that I use to tell myself that always seems to make me lose my cool inside
Makes me think I’m cool with dying
But really all I wanna do is spit the truth and watch my dreams and points of view align

I think there’s something wrong inside my head
I’m getting anxious
I’ve lost all hope I had of staying calm
I cannot stand this
So bite your tongue and walk away because I need a minute
I feel the blood run through my veins and there’s a monster in it

You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster in my blood
You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster I become

My mind’s a prison
Confinement living
The lights are dimmed and no one tries to visit
Time is ticking
To find the missing
Keys to the cell I’m in or die within it
I wish I had a minute I would make amends
With the demons that are moving in my vacant head
Maybe I’d convince ‘em we’d be great as friends
Maybe then they would listen, it’s you we hate instead
I could take my meds or I could pray it ends
Or make a deal with the devil, maybe pay him rent
My only other choice is fill my brain with lead
Or keep on living with the voices till the day I’m dead

Now you know that I’m the only person that can dig my grave
But didn’t pay attention cause I went and did it yesterday
It’s got me thinking that there’s gotta be a better way
I’ll start by laying you to sleep and tuck you in the bed I made
You’ll never get the best of me
I’ll bury you with all my skeletons that always had a negative effect on me
You won’t ever get away
I never hesitate
I’ll close the lid and fill the hole then throw a rose and celebrate

I think there’s something wrong inside my head
I’m getting anxious
I’ve lost all hope I had of staying calm
I cannot stand this
So bite your tongue and walk away because I need a minute
I feel the blood run through my veins and there’s a monster in it

You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster in my blood
You don’t wanna see the monster
You don’t wanna see the monster I become
