Bob Dylan - But Beautiful Lyrics
Love is funny or it's sad
Or it's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But it's beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know

Bob Dylan But Beautiful Comments
Fantástico !!!
Damn, it's gonna take me a long time to figure out exactly what he's doing on that guitar. And who's that to his left? Doesn't look like either of the guitar players listed on the 2002 tour. I wish I had a couple of extra hands and a 12-string so I could play both parts at once! This version of VOJ has to be recorded, preserved, covered, studied, honored... did somebody say 'worshipped'? LOL! Thanks, Elston.
The man on his left looks a bit like Wiily de Ville...
Put the headphones in your ears and relax on the sofa close your eyes, listen and enjoy the musician and writer Dylan, forget the world and imagine as if you were in front of Bob Dylan.
Why you so beautiful Bob Dylan....
So haunting...so mesmerizing...so beautiful....
Glass of Jack Daniels and bobs music.atrue one of,music that will live on for generations.thank you Bob for the many hours I've chilled ,specially the stuff you did with Johnny.
Thanks for posting , Fantastic version of Johanna , GREAT guitar work ! I could listen to this all day. PURE GENIUS !
looks like larry Campbell on Dylans left.Levon helms son inlaws
So glad I happened across this fabulous gem tonight; it was like stepping on a 12-carat diamond.
Some don’t like how Bob changes and rearranges his songs. I think that is true genius , I will take my miracles and create 6 more just like it.
It is said that GOD moves in mysterious ways, debatable I know, but when you hear Bob Dylan , you may think yes I get it 🤘
A song isn't great no matter who sings it if you can't understand the lyrics. You blew this one, Bob.
hush moron.
one of my favorites too, ya gots good taste
What is he saying
Bob Dylan - America's troubadour
3/18/95. The Grateful Dead. One of the most intimate versions of this Dylan classic ever performed. I am 100% positive Bob would concur.
This is poetry... 🤠
Always been my favorite song.
My life without Bob Dylan would of been half a life. Privileged to say the least.
👍 100
who is johanna?
never ceases to blow me away,,,this is a real gem,,,too much !!!
Read Robbie Robertson "Testimony", what a tribute to our time, the significance of great story telling through song, and people we came up with.
Beautiful. I could handle a studio version of this version any day.
The greatest songwriter of all time. His songs and performances should be on every music curriculum in every secondary school. Might wean some young uns off the drivel that is put out today.
Chris Topps ....
You do realize that this song was written by the late, great Robert Hunter. As far as being the greatest I'd have to say that Dylan & Hunter are the two greatest American songwriters of all time (& space).
❤️❤️❤️
This is as close to the pure sublime as it gets. One of my favorites of all time. Beauty is.
Bob Dylan is so awesome!!!!
Great, great!!!
Bob always knows every word and every nuance in every word of every song as his brain connects on his stage before thousands . His guitar and him sound as one . Peter behind Judy
Hey Bob, you're so foda!!!
thanks so much for this. yes very special
That guitar... fantastic!
If we shall call Dylan, a musician or an author is difficult to say, but in my eyes, he is both. He has got almost all the prizes that are possible to get in both art forms, but without the words, he had been a mediocre musician and not any prominent author, but luckily for us, he is a 1 to 10 thousand who has both and is, therefore, one of the most excellent communicators of the development of the radical culture of the late 20ieth century. No doubt, he is the most important person in this development
Yeah he's a formidable culture shaper
here again dreaming of bob
May I please LIKE this a few dozen more times? It only seems fair.
Nicest ballad I ever heard. a
🕊👍❤️🇩🇰
When he recorded this song originally in Nashville he reinvigorated it as a place to record. His facility with country music, with all styles including blues, folk and jazz are exactly the reason he has had such an incredible career. His love of playing and ability to keep finding inspiration and beauty is just like Willie Nelson, both players and writers for life. It is the greatest inspiration to me, and Jerry García also had this timeless quality as a performer who borrowed from all styles to immortalize and celebrate the great American Songbook.
my favourite too
Thank you so much for these beautiful songs I love you🦋
--------------->>> midday heat in August and another ELSTON GUNN
video ...??? I feel fine , so fine .
Greetings from Berlin to YOU , dear Elston .
i couldnt find a better version then this
at times I need music to soothe me, My granddaughter 16 yrs old, totaled out my ride, .an equinox, she is fine so all is well. so now I will listen to some music.
EMOZIONANTE...
Lovely!
This is Visions of Johanna, isn't it?
Superb. The instrumentation is wonderful on this.
I'll be so sad when he's gone, don't know if I can live without him.thank God we have his music.
Music speaks!
Dam I am even older than he is...
This is divine music. There's more divinity in this music than in any church.
Man, so true. true faith as well!!
I think bob heard keys that came from someplace else
@Justuh Sample It's one kind of medication. Btw he is a poet 🤠
whoever put this up did a Good Thing. Thank you.
Specially arranged for two acoustic guitars, bass and drums. It's quite a departure from the original, but it grows on you.
Arranged for 2 acoustic guitars, baa and drums. - Quite a departure from the original.
This Live version of "Visions Of Johanna" is a complete re-imagining of the original recording on 1966's "Blonde )n Blonde" album. It takes a little getting used to because the original arrangement is so familiar, but it's still great.
Very special.
Looks like about 30 classes of 30 + needed to teach soulless persons how to appreciate magic music.
HOW BEAUTIFUL -I 'M FEELING IT.
I have been enjoying Bob Dylan since he first appeared on the scene. This is a treasure. Thanks for posting. Bob is one of the greatest living music legends.
fuck me
Diane Riley I think the effect this has on you is common to us all - no words enough to describe xxx
I think Bob was a far better guitar player than ever given credit for. This beautiful ballad & "If you see her (say hello)" are undoubtably two of the greatest love songs ever written IMHO!
Ok well that was awesome.
Unique 🎶🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️
I k'now the Secret IS in your VOICE ❤️💔💕💖💖💖💖💔💔💔💔💕💕💕💓💛💛💛💛💔💔💔💔💔💕💕💕💕💕💛💔💔💔
'the ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face.....'
everytime ... WOW ! just WOW!
Fantastic 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎸🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎼🎼🎼
Menschen, die Bob Dylan lieben, die haben es drauf, die können so ganz schlecht nicht sein. Danke für Visions of Johanna.
cool...great acoustic guitar world ...
🎶🎶🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!
Jesus, Elston - some days this just is my refuge thank you... ! I've had my visions and yes, they do keep me up sometimes... ;-)
Its amazing how Bob does covers of Bob. David Dalton let's us into the secret about Bob in his interesting retrospective "Who Is That Man?: In Search of the Real Bob Dylan". Bob Dylan, is a cinematic experience constantly evolving away from all of those fixed perspective people have of him. There is no single Bob Dylan, but an assemblage of personalities brilliantly constructed from our collective cultural memory. What you have been watching over the last half century is the longest running series in history. That's Robert Zimmerman's real genius.
HAY EVERYBODY WE HAVE OUR UPS +DOWNS THATS LIFE ,ITS SAD PEOPLE WE LOVE COME +GO IT'S UP TO THE MAN ABOVE AND WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IT,IM SICK OF BEING ANGRY WITH GOD EVERY TIME A GOOD PERSON OF MINE DIES ,BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY ALL WE CAN DO IS HOPE AND WISH THAT OUR DEPARTED LOVE ONE IS HAPPY+OUT OF PAIN,SO TO ALL OUR LOVED ONES GONE MAY THEY REST IN PEACE + HOPE THERE HAPPY AND IN A GOOD PLACE,AMEN
You going Hyde Park ????
i may be lurking in the shadows somewhere i think.
Bob Dylan is either very intelligent or very square. And nobody uses that word anymore, except me, in the here and now. And nobody else is here. And now is fleeting.
I wish I could write something that good.
Brilliant version with a lovely acoustic guitar introduction! Who is that guitarist Elston?
this period would be Larry Campbell...1998.
sorry wrong video...it is larry but this 2002.
Whose that guy next to him...ive seen him around
somewhere b4
Clark Gable, He was the singer of Springwater in Almost Famous.
Larry Campbell
That was a treat!
Music and poetry, this is Dylan. I have lived listening his songs. I would like to die listening too.
so , so beautiful . wonderful . thank you bob .
I actually think the sound quality on this is horrible. I love the song, but this version is not good. Strange echos in the vocal.
Uh?!!! It's perfect!
double00spy be quiet you pathetic clueless fucking troll...clean your ears and wash once in while...and get some q-tips filthy peasant.
Years of silent cries.
Brilliant song but nothing beats the studio version
i gotta big stick...
ASTOUNDING!
Happy, happy Birthday. Thank you for all the wonderful music, lyrics, lovely photos and art that you have given us
B. D. 💖💖💖🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
So sad never un concert vu
Love not obsessive with you
Love y voici songs mots
bob mumbles Dylan.... pathetic hypnosis of the masses
who the fuck asked you...you moronic self important turd.
Is he speaking english?
no fluent dickhead... a personal performance just for you.
@Elston Gunn I'm a Dylan FREAK. I love Bob Dylan, dickhead! But if I can't critique him....Who can!!! By the way... What does no fluent mean??? Do you speak English????
The lyrics to this wonderful song - Visions of Johanna
By Robert Allen Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
How can I explain?
It's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeez, I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
Just a little different from the original.

A LEGEND 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️🏆🏆🏆🏆
Awesome song
A famous guy (i don't remember his name) said that all of the best and beautiful songs (in all genres) has long been composed. No one can beat that generation. I believe him when youngsters' comment saying "why can't be music be done that way these days?"
What e great time! Defently gone! Thank you for preserving this theses great Performances!!
Thanks 🍇❤️
Yikes! Horrible. I remember when he could sing. There was a rustic mellowness to his voice. His 1st 5 or 6 albums were great. Then he got weirder and weirder.
you talk shit...stop dribbling you sad moron.

love u always Elston Gunn #dylanimp #idavoltaire #idaDylan #wordsinlinespaceandtime
Dylan refuses to loosen the reign on his music collection... and I'm not sophisticated enough anymore to finagle it online with credit cards without losing my identity and probably getting seriously ripped off lol, and I refuse to let my secretary know I'm so damned old fashioned. If its not on youtube, I seem to miss out... give it up dylan, you made plenty already. give up the crumbs while there's still interest in your music. right?
bob wake up, we have a car coming for you. The ride brings you back, you're not done yet...
