Brilliant cover of this song. If you're going to cover a Dylan song, it better be good.

I love this song, but definitely not this version.

Good to hear the original source.
I'm disapointed it's not Beck. About the only thing I would not rather hear than Van Morrison is Joni Mitchell... Don't judge, lots of people around here have their own strange 'blind spots', these two are mine... |

I would have loved to hear a young V. Morrison and similarly young M. Jagger singing this Dylan cut side-by-side

Wow. This is the first time I heard this from Van.
Saw him in the movie, Last Waltz. Didn't seen like he and Bob D. were too cordial...but that applies to most everyone and Bob.

Yeah thought we were listening to Beck and wondered who changed it to Van Morrison.

Always nice to notice where some of Beck's samples have come from while also enjoying another song

Saw Van last night in a small (1400 seat venue) - didn't play this but revisited the back catalogue, finishing with a great version of 'Into the Mystic' - awesome, the old boy still has it!
Mind you... not a single word of introduction etc - but you wouldn't expect that would you!!

I couldn't disagree more. Back then, there was one (of many) rules you followed when crafting an album: when you run out of material, cover Dylan or Holly. So many did either or both to great effect. Van's take on "Baby Blue" is one of the better ones. |

There's precious little which is genuinely new. Doc Pomus wrote the intro chording( save the last dance for me- truly an interesting story), Dylan, the words, Jagger the vocal styling. Still, one of Van M's better pieces.
Exactly what I said! Beck had to sample this! |

Link Wray did a smokin' version of this tune on his "Bullshot" album...  |

While I also love the orginal Dylan version, this one hits me like a ton of bricks. Love it!
