This HAS to be the best Dylan cover since "All Along the Watchtower"!

Springsteen’s immense energy and Dylan’s immense poetry, marvelously blended into a rock himn! What a superb cover, bravo to Gaslight Anthem!

It is very rare that I prefer a cover to the original. But this is another level. Brian can cover anything and make it gold

Brian Fallon is ungodly talented. to take an under-appreciated song by the greatest troubadour/songwriter since...ever? and make it both his own and true to the original is something that not many - if any - people could do. if i heard this song on a Gaslight Anthem album, i'd think it was theirs. this is just an incredible version of an incredible song. There is no one on Brian's level in rock music today.

This is a very very difficult song to sing. Every verse is like a single thread following a separate entry and exit. If you miss it, the whole fabric of the song falls apart. This guy doesn't miss a stitch. Very Impressive.

Why do I always find good music late at night?

what a brilliant version, bought this in 77/78 and was always my favourite on the album. this makes the hairs stand up on my neck, seen then twice, great band.

Brilliant cover. Possibly my favourite Dylan song aswell

Chills, the second the drums jumped in. Wicked cover.

Changing of the guards is my fav Dylan song, and Gaslight are my fav band. What a combo!

This rocks. Highlights both the genius of Dylan and his interpreter.

never heard a better version of this song and i don't think i will ever hear

This is FANTASTIC!!!! A hard number to cover but these cats made it their own!

I think this is the first time I've seen a cover of a Dylan song where people are actually unanimous in the decision that it's good; usually a massive flame war in the comments. Good job, Gaslight.

hats off! this version is absolutely marvelous. A very beautiful voice, and the band plays great!

When he almost screams saying "but Eden is burning." Dang.

Joy tears down my cheeks! I just discovered that they have a cover of this song, i am amazed! This masterpiece makes joy tears floooow!

best cover, i've ever heard.

Your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards. Thanks Mr. D.!

Amazing cover. I'm 18. have an extensive record collection, love this band also. and wow I was BLOWN away. too bad these guys have broken up. If you don't know anything about this group; the 59 sound full album is only a KZfaq search away... From Gaslight to Gene Vincent. Quite a night

I'm very impressed with this version, one of Dylans top ten songs. This group nails the spirit of the song, and adds their own unique interpretation. I like it better than Patti Smith's great version.

This cover gets better everytime i listen to it!

It is evidently the best version ever made of that impossible song. I had not even imagined a cover like that one was ever possible.

Excellent cover, can't get enough!

0:57 best instrumental ever 10/10

so awesome, cant stop listening.

WOW....dont comment much online, but this is deserving. My all time favorite Dylan song and by god they did it justice!! So good. Really. Amazing

Thank You Hattie. You saved me more than anyone in the world. You are the most amazing person out there, no one can top you. Remember that.

Tremendous cover of a brilliant poem!

A stunning version

best version by far

heard it so many times...best band, best cover... god damn so good

Thanks. I'll check this out.

Me encantan casi todas las versiones. La canción es maravillosa.

Absolutely amazing.

2019...and they just touched me WAY down deep!! WTF?!?! Then went searching for more and found a TREASURE CHEST of unbelievable tunes!! WOW!

Hey, Thanks a lot. I'll be sure to pick that up when I have some time.

As is the case with most Bob Dylan songs.. but it's his amazing ability to tell stories and create lyrics that defines the songs. Timeless stuff :)

Ive listened to a couple of gaslight anthem tunes and have always thought they had serious potential but until now it hadnt quite hit the mark.They didn't just hit the mark,with this,they nuked it man,wicked stuff!!! Peace

brilliant cover, such a good band.

Love it!

excelente cover! bob dylan y the gaslight anthem buena banda y un músico genial

great band cant wait to se them again

Great cover of a great song !

Sixteen years, Sixteen banners united over the field Where the good shepherd grieves. Desperate men, desperate women divided, Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves. Fortune calls. I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace, Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down. She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born, On midsummer's eve, near the tower. The cold-blooded moon. The captain waits above the celebration Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid Whose ebony face is beyond communication. The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid. They shaved her head. She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo. A messenger arrived with a black nightingale. I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow, Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil. I stumbled to my feet. I rode past destruction in the ditches With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo. Renegade priests and treacherous young witches Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you. The palace of mirrors Where dog soldiers are reflected, The endless road and the wailing of chimes, The empty rooms where her memory is protected, Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times. She wakes him up Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks. She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking. He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks. Gentlemen, he said, I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes, I've moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards. Peace will come With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords.

Ladies and gentlemen, the past and present of folk music: Bob Dylan to the Gaslight Anthem!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!

What a Band!!!

What a great song. They really need to release a new album. They sound better than ever here.

I have an obsession with the original song and was actually considering doing a cover of it. But after hearing this version its like "what the heck. I could never do one as good as this!!" :))

Great version!!

I think both versions are good in their own way! as they have different arrangements. I just stumble on this, and its a great great cover

Sounds Great!

@MothsInALampshade Hah, loved the Rise Against song too. Probably the best song they did since The Sufferer And The Witness. My favourite so far is Bad Religion's cover of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.

In this picture you can see Brian Fallon (singer) is opening hands and totally surrender to the audience and this gives him the complete joy. So if we surrender ourselves to our highest joy we are in the state of fullness right now.

I Love this song, Its Fantastic.

AWESOME.

Beautiful, slow rock I love it..

Peace will come With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords

You find it on "Chimes Of Freedom: The Songs Of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years Of Amnesty International"

This cover is on another level. My only complaint is that they cut the final stanza and it’s one of my favorite parts. Aside from that they perfectly captured the tone and feel of the song. 👍

soooooo very good!!! love dylans musik :)

i dont really know their music and im a huge dylan fan but this is phenomenal

Great cover of this song

Still my favourite song.

Thanks :)

Back here to say how amazing this tune is!! Also Boots of spanish leather: Airborne toxic event!

Its literally about the changing of the guards.. Realizing in one sense or another you've been doing something too long.. Music.. Military.. And bowing out gracefully for the next coming of younger soldiers or musicians

song gave me goosebumps

fine version, well done

I couldn't agree more mate.

I can't stop listening to this. It might be my favorite dylan cover ever, including hendrix's all along the watchtower. Does anyone know if they have done any other dylan songs?

made my day

This was the smash hit of the whole Chimes of Freedom CD they did 100% what you need to do to cover Bob Dylan and i would say it is as good if not better than Dylan's my only complaint is they left off that amazing last verse

They own this song, this is brilliant!

I want hear this song!!!

Actually, that song was essentially a tribute to "Way over yonder in the minor key" by Billy Bragg, which has unused lyrics by Woodie Guthrie (i think). Brian Fallon never ceases to amaze me with these sorts of references. Search for the song, you'll hear the similarities. Cheers!

This song is amazing.Sounded perfect for "Mary, queen of scots" (movie- 2013)

i can see Horrible crowes, Bob dylan , Ziggy marley and Frank turner in the suggestions very happy :)

Possibly the greatest Dylan cover ever... possibly even greater than Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.. Possibly....

Great cover, but nobody does it better than Dylan.

Essa música me emociona! Viva Dylan!!!

I love this version almost as much as the original

my breath is taken away :)

Well I never... Thanks for that!

Genius!

Very very good Cover.Its not easy to make a good cover from a Dylan Song.But this is really great.

@Spiritualeggi they are ! brian did his horrible crowes side check that out , and he is writing the new one right now .... he's been touring on the revial tour

I agree

WOW!!! This is really good! :)

Direct tytrics, Stab to my heart!

00:41 so springsteen. so good

The singer definitely puts more overt heartbreak into the delivery

i'll agree with you on the all along the watchtower, but you must listen to the dylan version from the boudokan album. it's very different to hendrix, but i think it stands up to it. fellow music lover, you must hear this.

Agreed. As with Rise Against's version of Hollis Brown. Sometimes it takes a great songwriter to write an amazing song for someone else to perform. Just like Bruce Springsteen's Ghost of Tom Joad, no one could have played it as well as Rage Against the Machine did.

man i gotta get this shit

@EskimoRockRolle agreed, however - Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower = the exception that proves the rule.

37 people need tnt sticking in their ears! This is my favourite song of all time it's phenomenal!

Grande Musica

coooooool
