Bob Dylan: 5 Great live versions of “One Too Many Mornings” (audio & video)





Down the street the dogs are barkin’
And the day is a-gettin’ dark
As the night comes in a-fallin’
The dogs’ll lose their bark
An’ the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind
For I’m one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

From the crossroads of my doorstep
My eyes they start to fade
As I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid
An’ I gaze back to the street
The sidewalk and the sign
And I’m one too many mornings
An’ a thousand miles behind

It’s a restless hungry feeling
That don’t mean no one no good
When ev’rything I’m a-sayin’
You can say it just as good.
You’re right from your side
I’m right from mine
We’re both just one too many mornings
An’ a thousand miles behind

  1. mr. keltner behind the drums of the 2002 version… how come?
    was he part of the band… for a while…?
    does anyone know?

    1. Jim stood in for George Recile who was recovering from a hand injury. Jim played in a few European shows

      1. thanks steve! […yes, now i remember. i’ve read about his hand inhury somewhere before…
        but i lost it and could not make the connection …]

  2. God, when will the Supper Club see the light of day. Just this five minute clip makes me starve for the full thing. Queen Jane best version ever? I’m 62 and not getting any younger. Sooner, rather than later, please. Thanks for these uploads. Much appreciated.
