Many vocalists were like that. That makes me think of Cass Elliot. She was a large woman, not very attractive, but she sang her ass off! She was an incredible vocalist as well...and also a friend of Mary Travers. Cass and Mary, you are still loved and missed.

This was taped on the Smother Brothers show the year after Tet 68 and the Chicago police riots, Nixon has been inaugurated in January and Woodstock would occur in August after Apollo 11. I first say PP&M in 1963. Mary was a total babe and the difference between her and Phyllis Schlafley tells the tale of the difference between the on-campus liberals and the Movement Conservatives who had campaigned for Goldwater, campaign for CREEP and come to town with Reagan in 1981 PP&M played at Indiana University in May 1969 in a venue that had held a protest against Dupont's role in the war and, for some reason, the acoustics of the hall amplified the "NAPALM" chant of the protesters. At the end of their concert, there was a 45 minuet standing ovation after their final encore. Everybody there just wanted to hold on to the hope and fraternity in the room, like clapping for Tink.

Heck I like rock and roll (and I play the electric guitar). So, when I see 3 folks (ONLY backed up by 2 acoustic guitars and a bass) perform a song with that amount of talent and intensity, that is SERIOUSLY impressive!! You've got to be DAMNED sure of yourselves to execute a performance like that! Congrats to Peter, Paul and Mary!

Kind of like when and why he was pissed when The Byrds changed that one line in their cover of Dylan’s You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere to open their pioneering Country Rock album Sweetheart of the Rodeo in 1968 (the same year Peter, Paul and Mary recorded Too Much of Nothing) from “Pick up your money and pack up your tent” to “Pack up your money and pick up your tent” lol.

Always seemed odd to me that Dylan sometimes did not know how to best do his own songs. This is one. Many of his songs were defined, refined by others. Done better, in my opinion, and I have listened to Bob and appreciated him since the early sixties. Seen him 3 times. The third time I saw him he so destroyed the songs we love that I wanted to throw a beer bottle at him. That was my last. Never again, I said.

@munimathbypeterfelton6251 11 ай бұрын

I’d say it was because Dylan is not a terribly engaging singer or person with his audience the way other performers are/were. Dylan is very honest and tells it like it is, which is always admirable for anyone. But he probably wrote and performed all of his own songs with an attitude of “so what if they don’t like it; this is who I am and what I have to offer. It’s theirs for the taking.” That’s my opinion anyway.

There's another instrument present in the studio version that gives a bit of a wailing melody to the song. That's why this will always sound a little off to me, but understandable. Peter and Paul had their hands full with both guitars.

@deweygill1973 3 жыл бұрын

It's a harmonica and an electric guitar is also used, plus Mary adds a second backing vocal track giving the studio version more of a Mama's And Papa's sound (who were outselling PP&M at the time)

Believe it or not this is the best version of this song by PPM - until a few years back there was an earlier slightly faster version that was much better - started off with the first notes played on the martin bass strings. However the powers that be removed it from you tube because they must control even 60 year old songs - bastards!
