Not that much of a B Dylan fan, but this is a sublime song! I might have heard him play it at the No Nukes concert.

Otoh, a big Patti Smith fan from '75 onward! Saw her debut Horses, and her 2nd album (who's title just ran away from me - though I think I'm remembering the cover correctly). Oh, wait...?Radio Ethiopia.
.
Another memorable show at CBGB's was when she was still recovering from her horrific injury - still mostly wearing a neck brace. That was waaaay back.
.
Seen her many times over the decades. Such a talent! And even she & Lenny did an on-line show during covid!

I think she looked pretty on the cover of ?Wave. Blue cover.
