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.

wow - the opening from this song is sampled in the Beck song - Jack-Ass.  I thought that's what this was.  

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.

Exactly what I said! Beck had to sample this!

This is why I tune in here, these discoveries, no clue Beck sampled that. thanks

I think he, Eric Burden and other UK singers of their generation were trying to sound like American R&B singers like Wilson Pickett but they ended up sounding a little like each other at first.

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

Wow, never heard this despited to listening to him for years.  Excluding the deplorable Marley tune you have just played a number of seminal songs.  All three still send chills up my spine.

Interesting, as of today, Aug 4, 2011, both this version and the Dylan version rate 7.7, a pretty high average rating for RP listeners. But Dylan gets a lot more 10s (31% is a lot) and 1s than this version.

First I thought it was Beck. Then I thought it was the Rolling Stones. Good song. And I generally can't stand Van Morrison.
