Este é mais uma de minhas raridades.1974, 18 anos. Eu tinha lido um comentário na revista Rolling Stone (na verdade um jornal) dizendo ser este o melhor disco de Bob Dylan, com uma banda excepcional, The Band, o melhor disco ao vivo daquele ano. Para que não conhece, The Band é uma das melhores bandas de rock americanas,embora todos exceto o baterista fossem canadenses. São músicos completos, que tocam e cantam muito.A parceria entre êles e Bob Dylan tem seu ápice neste disco e depois resulta em outro ótimo vinil chamado "Planet waves" que eu devo postar mais para frente. Todos os hits estão presentes e a novidade é que vocês podem ouvir o som original do meu disco clicando nos links abaixo. Não me perguntem como fiz isso, mas funcionou. Para que gosta de Dylan creio que será o máximo pois este som não existe na web, nem no youtube.Inseri uns videos de um documentario de Martin Scorsese, "The Last Waltz", traduzido para "O último concerto de rock" de 1978, pois não há imagens do show deste disco. Uma das músicas mais conhecidas é "Knocking on heavens door", cuja letra coloco abaixo. Pode parecer meio sem sentido mas foi feita para o filme" Pat Garret e Billy the kid, de Sam Pechinpah" (os cinéfilos conhecem), na hora em que o xerife morre nos braços de sua gorda esposa. Ai o Gun's and Roses gravou...
Huuuuu... Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Mama, take this badge of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
O SOM DO VINIL

It ain´t me baby
