Agree. Staggeringly sweet, cheeky and yes that phrasing. And as for that ending

jeff buckley does a stunning live version which i think pips this one, theres a moment in it that defies words.

@@HuxleyWasRight I love Jeff Buckley but he does not play in the same league...

Blasphemy! I like Van Morrison, but Bob Dylan was...is my god. And you're probably right...the rhythm, the energy, the spin, the guitar, were on point in this. But nobody can sing a Dylan song like Dylan, no one can replicate the pain, those emotions, other than Bob Dylan himself...I mean, those were his stories, his experiences; and he could write many good songs that many good artists could cover, but only he knows how they're really played. And to be honest, I just don't break like a little girl listening to this.

Richie Havens

Ah man wicked

A great analogy of how his music feels! Hes been my favorite since the 1970. And he never stops growing and creating! Both brilliant and humble, a very rare and unique combination💚

That's a very hard geas, to put on anyone. He's good, that's all that matters.

Well put! he is my total religion

well said

Van’s music is just so special. Terrific artist! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love this expression about him. It’s perfect. He’s the quicksand and you resolve to drown in his voice.

🎯

So so true

Alfiehan i guess we only want the best ,,,Van the man is utter joy ,olso hes a complete genius lol xx

Heck yeah ( my brown eyed girl) I have to 2 of them💝💝 Van Is A Bad MOFO' 🎤Class Of His Own🌹🎤🎤🎵🎼🎸😄😎✌😘🎶Love Him😍

❤🎉

Fact

Agree that he "does justice" to this song

Love this...thanks for share.

Great comment VL i totaly agree

that was truly a moving, soulful rendition.......he was the song.......unforgettable.

HI SOOOO awesome! Great phrasing. Dylan must love it!

great song, great composition....

WOW

Truth

Not impressed. Can't improve on Dylan's own version of the song he wrote.

@@jnagarya519 Have you heard Richie Haven's studio version? Transcendent!

I don't think we're alone.

No, Definitely not alone.

Yup, but to this day he can still do it, which is amazing. When you have soul it doesn't go away.

Love him for his standards too.

Joe Cocker too.

I feel your soul! So true.

@@adellzachary3171 Who the hell are you? Good evening judge? And good f****** bye, hey, go take your drugs you're deranged, David, stand up and say something, you know this man has no taste, I wonder what groups or singers he really likes?

He ruined it by changing the words to fit a bullshit "gay" interpretation of the song.

@@johnpayne6860 what is there to say To fools like this John? Van Morrison has Written countless songs that were covered by Seriously respected Artists ( guess they suck too?) He is in the R&R HOF, still selling shows out what 50yrs after He started? You want to say you don't like his version? the guy can say that, he's not a fan? Sure, that's acceptable, people have covered it better? Or He likes Dylans original better? Fine, but to say an Artist sucks? Why bother even arguing with the clown.

Hello@iSara TX

alan murr :Sorry mister Van Morrison is a voice not the poet??.Bob Dylan is the best genius poet of the world!

I do not agree. Van Morrison' is a great poet and songwriter

Cactus J. Shame he hasn't done anything decent since early 70s blood on the tracks.

R4Richard morrison greater talent than Dylan.

Blood on The Tracks was 1975, followed by an amazing number 1 best selling Album Desire, Slow Train Coming (1979)was amazing, the production, the passion in the lyrics (I even like street legal from 1978) in 1981 Shot of Love had some amazing songs, like Every Grain of Sand, then Infidels (1984) with Jokerman and the outtake Blind Willie McTell, i like alot of the other 80s tunes too but in 1989 Oh Mercy was released and that was amazing, masterpiece man. Time out of Mind (1997) was mind blowing and has this whole different feel to it, then Love and Theft (2001) is one of my favourite Dylan albums, has this gangster Martin Scorsese movie vibe to it, and then followed by modern times and together through life which are so so good especially Modern Times, all of the previously mentioned albums were so well received with fans and critics, and then Tempest in 2012 which has to be the darkest album Dylan has every done and it is mind blowing, and his recent crooning albums of American Standards, the musicianship and Dylans vocals are so so clean, although I do like the more course voice he has recently aswell man. I went to see him for my 17th Birthday in May this year, and got to the front and spent the night having the best time singing at the top of my lungs, to songs old and new man, gotta open your mind to his other stuff abit more man, Dylan has a lot of 'decent' or far more than decent stuff after 1975

yes boy !

bob dylan ballads

Nearly 66 same here

The brilliant Belfast Lion.

see if you like Jeff Buckley doing If You See Her, Say Hello. Incredible

@@amadeusdiamond3183 Wasn't Jeff Buckley a knock-off of his father Tim?

VAN THE MAN!!

@Van Morrison thankyou 🙏 💖, youve helped me through this life,blessings to you.

Zimium Jeff buckley.

no disrespect to my man van .you have hears all along the watchtower. jimi

The song is a gem and Hendrix an excellent guitar player but his cover grossly over-rated by commercialization of his death - unless you are only rating by the guitar play... . Bettered by many since, including Bob himself (Budokan) and Neil Young. Van's cover of JLW is unequalled, although a few others are remarkable: Sophie Hunger's Dirge (amazing), Alan Price's To Ramona, Raitt's Baby Blue and Sandy Denny's Heaven's Door and I'll Keep it With mine are close by Van's masterly cover. Not just great guitar: Great interpretation throughout.

dear zimium you forgot the great nina simone covering many of bobs songs and everything she touched turned into gold

She is amazing. I remember her cover of Brel's "Ne me quitte pas" unequalled to date. But - by one hair - I prefer Van's JLW... and now the very innovative "Dirge" by Sophie Hunger... Such a difficult choice.!!!!

great description! Stretching a song.........

I loooove VAn Morrison but i must differ with all respect there is one who can "strech it" even more than Van and that was Ray Charles

Brian Dorn Agree. He once gave a three song concert that lasted an hour and a half and everyone left exhausted.

Awe

same

Absolutely. So blessed to get the chance to hear his talent ❤️🤗.

He is no fucking genius. Stop throwing that word around. There is no such thing as genius. Everyone practices to get good at something and VM is no different.

Amen

@JP McCray Is it possible for a non-"genius" to determine who is and isn't a "genius"? Let's be clear about the lack of critical faculties: that you LIKE or "LOVE" a thing DOES NOT mean that the thing is "genius" -- such declarations are SELF-flattery. And he ruins this by going with the "gay" fantasy put on it by morons. "Queen Mary" was more likely a drug than a person.

God's child labor of Love Van's biggest fan Well said

God's child labor of Love Van's biggest fan totally agree

Just read your comment after I posred mine and must say we have the same admiration. I too was 13 and only play him on special times. He is in tune, a great point to make. A loyal old dog and a voice than can rip your heart open

You're his biggest fan ? And you haven't seen him in concert ? One of those statements is not true. Unless you have no arms and legs, and are confined to an oxygen tent and were struck down with blindness in your teens, whilst living on an atoll in the mid pacific ocean.

God's child labor of Love Van's biggest fan God bless the Irish. You can't be a bigger fan than me. I remember hearing Gloria at 12 it was just released, been hooked from then on.

He's my favorite artist ever.

I saw him in Clearwater, Florida 2016, the man just KEEPS getting better AND sexier!

I saw him in '74 or '75. Left virtually hypnotized and the most peaceful I've ever been.

Van and his soulful way brought me and not boasting, many a beautiful and loving female friend dancing closely and in the mood for kissing, hugging and squeezing. It was wonderful for the present company on those dimly lit week end moments. K

Van the man..I would love too fly from the usa too his country of Ireland and listen too all his songs driving around country,it would be the best travel guide ever

keep on rollin 79 I’ve heard of Van but never really listened to his music. I am now.

@@Debrenta ok..well, queen of the slipstream is amazing! then u have cypress avenue,astral weeks,bulbs,cul de sac..there's just so many its like the rolling stones on and on..

keep on rollin 79 ok. I love the stones. I’ll be listening to new music tonight then. Thanks!

@@Debrenta yer most welcome

"Pride goeth before a fall."

He did, but this is perfection.

Don't think his DUP pals would call him Irish :(
