We never got to that point. Dylan would just start playing another new tune without telling anybody. We were racing to keep up.
Phil was afraid to hit the talkback and tell him. The cue was all Dylan, none of the other instruments. My Hammond B3 organ was way in the back of the studio. The setup was ridiculous, actually. How can you make a contribution as a band when you cannot hear one another? At first we complained to Phil, but Phil never changed anything.
Later on, I concluded that his concern was to get as much of Dylan on tape as possible. It mattered less what we played. I was thinking how ironic that was because that was exactly what was going on at the session — no one told Bob what they were feeling. Then two or three takes later, he starts playing a different song without telling anybody, so of course the guys screw up, and drop out.
The energy in the studio went from incredible excitement to shock and disappointment. He essentially fired the band, without giving them a chance to do anything. Without the band, Dylan presses on with bassist Tony Brown. They are joined, briefly, by Paul Griffin keyboards and Buddy Cage steel guitar …. It was the stuff with Tony Brown and Dylan that was powerful and compelling. We had adapted in the control room to the way things were going down. It was an unconscious approach.
There was no warmth or camaraderie. That may have contributed to the intensity of the experience, that those were not happy sessions. But Paul Griffin was his idea. He was an older, straight-ahead jazz guy.
He was so focused in terms of his performance, but very disconnected on a human level. He was in his own universe. The electricity was when he was performing. It appeared me that he was channelling something from a universal source. Something was flowing through him. The final day of the New York sessions. Dylan and Brown find their stride. An unexpected visitor is rebuffed…. Mick Jagger was the most charming, affable guy. He could charm one person or 50, in a stadium.
That was unheard of. And we thought it was done. But Dylan now became quite concerned. He was very anxious about the quality of the thing. We were all from northern Minnesota. Bill Berg [drums] was from Hibbing like Bob, so the connection got even stronger. Music Boxes. Face Masks. This site requires JavaScript to function properly.

That time I was studying and Always went back home late in the evening. This song was Always on a particulair station. Thanks for this write up. Really enjoyed reading this-very accurate I think and enlightening analysis on your part.
There is an interpretation of the song by Australian journalist Imre Salusinszky, I think that identifies the narrator of the song as Jesus Christ addressing Judas. This song is clearly adressed to the listener,so far he is a dylansuperfan,critic or a journalist who wants to have an interview. Poeple who want something from him all the time. He is talking about this song also in chronicles vol. It makes total sense. Are you want to be the artist? Are you talking to me? I can see this song directed to a groupie or a one-night stand or an infatuated fan.
I underwent chemo rehab at a nursing home not long ago. His wife would come and visit with him several times a week. He almost knew who she was. I wonder if Bob Dylan knew someone like that? This has been noted before by other writers and philosophers as well. But this monologue rendition is almost horrifying in its relentlessness and desperation. The CD booklet features the text, though, an unusual but nice touch.
Whoever writes such lyrics has made his mark in life and in the world; he deserves, if not a monument, than surely the acknowledgement of a great composer of words. Therefore it is so important that the Nobel Committee has issued this prize, thereby including lyrics in the greater family of the literature. I have a guess: There is a plot.
He has been betrayed. He is innocent — he did not understand, what the person wanted from him. The person, whom he thought he knew is a total different person. He has to rewind the tape and rethink the whole series of events. Who are his enemies: The journalists from the gossip magazines.
Did they want a picture , which could be misunderstood? Could the gossip magazines really be so cruel: No doubt.
That is the world the celebrities has to face. Here Bob Dylan ask the journalist: What is that you want? A vision. A dream. Is there somebody there? Am I here all alone? Great commentary. Stan and Mr. Echo that is exactly what I have always thought about this song.
So gorgeously rendered by Willie in one of his best performances. I realise this is a Christian-centric imagining. However, what I find even more intriguing is that the version of this encounter as told in the 4 official gospels of the New Testament Bible has been disputed.
