View through CrossRef
In this chapter, comparisons are made between studio and live performances of individual Bob Dylan songs that may be heard on his officially released albums. Songs discussed in detail are “You’re a Big Girl Now,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” “Just like a Woman,” “All along the Watchtower,” and “I Shall Be Released.” It emerges that Dylan is a restless, continuously creative artist, many of whose songs remain works-in-progress for him as he reconsiders, reshapes, and reinvents them over the course of a decades-long career as a live performer.
