unless you like being tortured.

It's Bob Dylan and Joan Baez killing Pirate Looks @ 40.

I like Dylan, but jeez...this stinks. [smilie=asa.gif] :pirate:

That was rough. It looked like Joan Baez had no idea where Dylan was going, what key he'd be in or anything. Of course as one person commented, Mr. Zimmerman was famous for rehearsing in one key and then doing something completely different later. At least he was intelligible .... too often he's mumbling the words.

If the date is correct, Bobby had just turned 41 in May of 1982, so maybe the song struck a chord within him. I love Dylan, but this was painful. Still, it's cool that one of the greatest songwriters ever was covering a song of Jimmy's.

just watched it, and shut it off after about 20 seconds. that was brutal. its cool that dylan covered it, but if it were up to me id take him not doing it at all if i knew what the finished product sounded like. anyway, how about that one guy saying jack johnson's version is better that JB's :D its a good version, but cant touch the classic. damned you tube blasphemers

I don't think it's that bad. Good for some smiles...
Course I like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. They sang it in their style, that's all. Cool video! 8)

Didn't watch to much of it, but read the comment about Jack Johnson doing a better version of Pirate Looks at 40. What is that all about? Maybe i'm missing something.

a) Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty.. Songs you thought you knew, keys no one ever imagined.
b) the weasel who said, 'Bob, you're a helluva songwriter, you need to sing your stuff too!!!" needs to be beaten to death with a brick in burlap sack.

wow. I've always kind of liked Bob Dylan (Joan Baez not so much) but that was truly awful.

If I hadn't known it was APLA40, I never would have guessed it.

Absolutely brutal. :o

that's for sure and his early recordings were pretty good too, the Concert for Bangladesh comes to mind...Leon Russell helped produce some of his early recordings...

he wrote a lot of Hendrix's landmark music...

personally, I don't think that Kris Kristofferson has much of a voice, never has had, but he's a helluva songwriter...
