  • Firstly ,thanks must go to Bob G for his years of research in freeing this remarkable tape after being stored for many years , and only now being appreciated. We all hope you recover from your health issues soon and wish you all the best..
    As you will hear , this was recorded by Theodore Bikel in late August , early September 1963 , months before Bob`s album was released the next year. Also preceding the Carnegie Hall show on 26th October which Bob Dylan.com list as the first live recording. It is thought to be Suze Rotolo heard in the background.
    This portion includes an audio letter to Pete Seeger from Theodore Bikel, where he describes the times and circumstances of the recording.
    It is believed that these were later used by Sis Cunningham to transcribe and publish the lyrics in The Broadside Magazine.

    Once again many thanks to all involved ,
    When the Ship Comes in
    WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
    Oh the time will come up
    When the winds will stop
    And the breeze will cease to be breathin’
    Like the stillness in the wind
    ’Fore the hurricane begins
    The hour when the ship comes in
    Oh the seas will split
    And the ship will hit
    And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
    Then the tide will sound
    And the wind will pound
    And the morning will be breaking
    Oh the fishes will laugh
    As they swim out of the path
    And the seagulls they’ll be smiling
    And the rocks on the sand
    Will proudly stand
    The hour that the ship comes in
    And the words that are used
    For to get the ship confused
    Will not be understood as they’re spoken
    For the chains of the sea
    Will have busted in the night
    And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
    A song will lift
    As the mainsail shifts
    And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
    And the sun will respect
    Every face on the deck
    The hour that the ship comes in
    Then the sands will roll
    Out a carpet of gold
    For your weary toes to be a-touchin’
    And the ship’s wise men
    Will remind you once again
    That the whole wide world is watchin’
    Oh the foes will rise
    With the sleep still in their eyes
    And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreamin’
    But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
    And know that it’s for real
    The hour when the ship comes in
    Then they’ll raise their hands
    Sayin’ we’ll meet all your demands
    But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered
    And like Pharoah’s tribe
    They’ll be drownded in the tide
    And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered

    My English IV teacher, Mrs. Carter, borrowed my two Dylan albums for a few days (1966). Returning them she said "...I do not care for his voice, but this young man will be remembered as the greatest poet of this century..." 1966. She heard it early on.

      I loved his voice because I have the same voice and it gave me the courage to get up on stage and not care so much what people think. And for reference, I was born in 1984. It was in college at the university of Alabama in 2004 when I started to play live. It was something I absolutely had to do.

      He's a true legend in the same way I would say Lennon and McCartney both legend's. I think the term Legend gets overused a lot now, but with Dylan, Lennon and McCartney that's 3 true Legends who have the work to prove it. I got hooked on Dylan around 35 years ago, I was 15 and had played my brother's Dylan's greatest hits, and thought I must find more, so the first Dylan album I bought was Bringing it all back home, I was blown away, especially side 2 It's Alright Ma (I'm only bleeding) just changed my whole outlook on life, I believe they are the best lyrics I've ever heard, and that Album is a classic. I was 15, now 35 years later I have every Dylan album, including all 15 bootleg series, Side Tracks, live albums, the only ones I don't have is his 'Sinatra' trilogy, which I don't really want. I may buy them one day, just to complete the collection. So glad he got the Nobel prize for literature, just to put it in the faces of people who say he's got no talent. ?? Go back watching X Factor.

    I remember when Ralph J. Gleason, music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, expressed his belief that Dylan will at some time take his place beside Shakespeare as a master of the English language. He was ridiculed at the time, but in his grave I'm sure he's smiling.

    Great to hear this, way before it was released on The Times They Are A-changin' album. I love this song. The album version when he blasts his harmonica break. Brilliant. So many songs he wrote that were classics. Same as John Lennon and Paul McCartney, writers of many tracks that will live on for generations to come. 3 of the biggest, greatest and most influential Songwriters/Musicians we will ever see. There's some great Songwriters/Musicians just below these 3, like Jagger and Richards, Pete Townshend, Paul Simon, Ray Davies, Neill Young, The Doors, Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Sex Pistols, Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, Morrissey and Marr, Ian Brown and John Squire, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Elvis Costello, Blondie.
