For this week’s Definitely Dylan Live, Laura and Robert are once again playing some Dylan gems for your listening pleasure. Featured in the hour is the first EVER performance of It Ain’t Me Babe! Furthermore, the pair bring you up to speed with news from the Dylan world, and discuss their recent obsession with the song Dignity.
As promised, here is a link to the version of Dignity from the MTV Unplugged Rehearsals, and here is the version from Porto, which is wonderful and well worth checking out. You can also find all other performances of the song from 2019 (along with other recent highlights) on the NotDarkYet website.
I’d also strongly encourage you to give Yes Please by Ren Harvieu a listen because she’s not only got an incredible voice, but she’s also a terrific writer.
And because you were surely dying to know: the Royal Festival Hall in London was opened on 3 May 1951.
What do you make of the rumours regarding a new album of original songs?
