Bob Dylan: The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll & Man Of Constant Sorrow, London, England 4 February 1990 (video)

bob dylan london feb 4 1990

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath’rin’
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face
Now ain’t the time for your tears

Hammersmith Odeon

4 February 1990

  • G. E. Smith (guitar)
  • Tony Garnier (bass)
  • Christopher Parker (drums)

I am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days
I’ll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and partly raised

Through this open world I’m a-bound to ramble
Through ice and snow, sleet and rain
Im a-bound to ride that mornin’ railroad
Perhaps I’ll die upon that train

Your mother says that I’m a stranger
A face you’ll never see no more
But here’s one promise to ya
I’ll see you on God’s golden shore

I’m a-goin’ back to Colorado
The place that I’ve started from
If I’d knowed how bad you’d treat me
Babe, I never would have come

October 27: Bob Dylan: Not Dark Yet, Champaign, Illinois 1999 (Video)

Shadows are falling and I’ve been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep, time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there

Bob Dylan covers Dwight Yoakam – Happy Birthday Mr. Yoakam!

bob dylan 1999

In West Palm Beach, Florida, September 2, 1999 at Coral Sky Amphitheatre Bob Dylan threw in a surprise performance of Dwight Yoakam’s song, The Heart You Own.

From a review at Boblinks:
written by Matt Stroshane

“The biggest surprise followed when Dylan pulled out Dwight Yoakam’s “The
Heart that You Own.” Larry played pedal steel and Bob had some good vocals.
The song was performed well and Bob seemed really into it. It was also
interesting that no one I spoke to around me knew what song it was, though
everyone definitely liked it.”

A nice nod to Dwight Yoakam.

Happy Birthday Dwight Yoakam!

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.”

“Well I won’t back down
No I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down”
