Lyrics:
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously
"I didn't do it, " he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand
I saw them leavin', " he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that
In Paterson that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you want to draw the heat
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
You'll be doin' society a favor
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."

To discover Bob Dylan before you die is one of the advantages of being alive.
Facts.. Shit I just did.
Amen! I didn't truly discover Dylan until my late 30's.
I discovered Dylan in 1975, at 14 years old.
Or seeing him live, he may of been old, but damn that man is a legend!! No rAgrets, not even a single letter.
Or bijelo dugme!!!
Who is listening in 2024
Nevada is
north africa too
@@countrylifeisfineletsgo5931
Not nearly enough people..
Meeeeeeee
listen to dylan nearly everyday . been a fan now for over 60 years,
I've been lucky enough to listen to Bob Dylan for 60 years. I'm 74 and will continue until I pass. This is one of my favorites by this legend. I can remember when it first came out in 1975. Dylan is a legend and one of the best troubadours of my generation!
"How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fool's hand" Every line in this song is genius
I just got to your comment as Bob sang that lyric. Everything is in time.
every?
One Singer. ONE Song.
Out where the buses don't Run. B❤D the Man. The Criminals in their Coats and their 👔 are safe to drink Martinis and watch the sun Rise🎉
Dylan is extremely talented but, as he himself acknowledges, was wrong about Carter. So sad that such talent is bent to evil.
@@johnhill7058what so he was guilty ?
I’m 88 years old and I have never listened to Dylan before... I am so glad to have experienced this man’s genius before I die.
Welcome aboard. You have discovered the fountain of youth. Happy New EARs for you. Throw away the walking cane...
💓🙌🏻
Peppy - don't stop ...!!!! ENJOY every day & everything !!
I’m only 26 not music people my age are usually into but least we have good taste
You almost made it⚒️
How this dude was able to remember all his lyrics is mindboggling in itself .
every word is connected to the last ....he won't leave nary a one behind
I can too😌
@@coolrunnings3 ..
P..p
.
he is just singing what happen
look it all up
I just discovered Bob Dylan is still alive!! I`ve always thougth of him as one of the dead legends!
You must have led a sheltered life.
Greetings to those who has amazing taste of music. April 17 ,2024 ❤
Dylan first recorded this song in 1975, and Rubin wasn't released from prison until 1985. Respect to Dylan for singing this 10 years before the man was released. Words can't express how horrible it is for the Hurricane to spend two decades behind bars "for something he never done".
Grazie piccolo❤️
And remember! This song as well as the subsequent tour for him got the man a second trial. Though they didn't release Rubin Carter quite then, it certainly brought sympathy and support to the cause. :)
the hurricane is guilty, amazing how people are so brainwashed!
He was guilty as sin. Bob Dylan is a macabre man who always supports guilty killers if he thinks he can gain financially off of their murders.
1975-1985 three decades?
Absolutely one of the masterpieces of rock music of all time.

That violin is fire!!
You're really gonna dig the Netflix movie then
@@kc2094 what Netflix movie??
@@kc2094 ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION
@James Madison thanks ;)
Scarlet Rivera, ladies and gentlemen.
I came across this song by mistake. I went looking for a Stephen Bishop album, found it in a second-hand store and bought it, without checking the vinyl inside. When I got home, Desire was inside. I was disappointed. My mother said 'That's Bob Dylan. He tells stories with song. You should have a listen'. 34 years later I'm still listening.
czcams.com/video/RxAh3OIz7Hw/video.html
That’s weird. I used to work in a record store and the first thing we would do before ringing up the sale of a used album is check the vinyl inside the jacket. But I’m really glad you discovered Bob Dylan. He’s a genius!
W
me too
You should check out the movie that this song is based around. “The Hurricane”
NEVER FORGET WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!
what's it about?
@@user-zw7be5rc1b I think it was a famous boxer that got accused of murder, and could have made it big but was rotting in prison, listen to the song carefully, or look at the lyrics
@@user-zw7be5rc1b Ruben Carter.
Falsely tried and convicted of murder.
@user-zw7be5rc1b
He could have been one if the best boxers around for his time.
@@rustywalters80 There's a movie with Denzel Washington that tells his story
I’m 28 years old, this song will go through generations. What a legend Bob Dylan is ❤
Except the boxer did kill them
@@charliefury5810 I did have a strange incident with the 1975 Bob Dylan " Hurricane"" song (this recording) :
On 16 April 2024 I finally remembered I heard This song version , about 10 years ago on TV in the very End of the 1999 film " The Hurricane" , and on that day (16 APRIL 2024), I FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT SONG IS NAMED " HURRICANE " by Bob Dylan (USA) in 1975 !!
What's Strange is that song was in a Cassette tape I bought in 1996 from a Music Shop , Cassette of The Beatles album containing songs : Sha la la ; there's a place , twist and shout , etc.. ! !!!!
This Bob Dylan song was the NEXT One after John Lennon's " Twist and Shout " and as in 1996 I Knew very Little English, Listened to The Beatles A Lot , And NEVER HEARD OF BOB DYLAN or " Hurricane" title until 16 04 2024 ; I really THOUGHT THAT THE SINGER WAS INDEED LENNON'S and the BEATLES ; And I've always wondered about being Unusually long song (about 9 mn) for a Beatles' one !
It took me from 1996 to 2024 , to Finally find out the name of this 1975 song " Hurricane" !!
I now (17 04 2024) Wonder why this Bob Dylan " Hurricane" recording was in a Beatles Cassette bought from a Music Shop that has other Beatles Cassetes (I also bought the Cassete containing " She loves you yeah " , Eight days a week" , " A Hard Day's Night ", etc... and there was no other's artist song there. ) !
But is there a relation between that song & Beatles (especially John Lennon)
???
Bizarre , isn't it ???

He wrote this song for Rubin Hurricane Carter, a boxer who was framed for a murder. Bob visited him in jail.
He wasn't framed he was guilty in the end Bob Dylan realised this after reading the court manuscripts..

Socrates have you read the court. manuscripts ??if you haven't then don't comment.
@@Tee12343 yeah your correct, the film was total lies

The violin sings at his side, accompanies and supports him. Huge when you focus on them. A super good song. ALWAYS UP TO DATE.
I’ve only been alive for 16 years but I really do think discovering Bob Dylan’s music will be one of the happiest moments in life. The man is simply amazing. Really glad I listen to many genres of music.
I'd recommend Neil Young too and Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Aphex Twin. That right there is a mix of genres but they're all the MVPs of their craft. Happy listening amigo and have a great life

Same here, brother!
Things may seem real bad right now man, but let me tell you, as you get older, it gets way worse.
I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday but i can remember nearly all the words to this song.
Thank you Bob for writing this song!!
How anyone cant appreciate Zimmy and all he has brought to this life is unfathomable, every song is so detail oriented and thought provoking This song is layered so tight and keeps getting better with each word. That Violin is so Righteous.
God bless you have a wonderful day brother
It's Terrifying how 44 Years Later, Hurricane is still Relevant. This Song can't be chained to one specific point in time, as long as us Humans can't get along the Song will have never truly ended...
Couldn't have said it better myself. Very true.
He was guilty though.
A song never ending is a typical Bob Dylan song. 2000 years in the future this song will still be relevant.
No he wasn't guilty. He was no angel but he did not kill those people proven fact.
@@johnfrye8391 It's not proven fact lol. Two juries convicted him. He was only released because a liberal judge exonerated him on a small procedural issue. Before his murder convictions he was convicted of assault, animal cruelty, robbery and so forth. He was def. guilty.
One of the greatest songs ever written. This song was relevant then and still relevant today.
To some degree yeah
Old enough to remember when this happened. Same shit still happening...
desolation row...👌
the USA is a nation of mistakes
@Kiwi Balls nope, need more people typing the truth ✌🇺🇲
Bob Dylan. Singer, Songwriter and HERO in my book.
One of the greatest pieces of music. Ever.
Yes and Scarlet stabbing that fiddle!
A master at his craft.....
One of the saddest stories of our country and its growing pains but put to words with a song only Bob Dylan could make work . Its poetry and perfection which is supposed to be impossibility for man but Dylan was good at that . We are a better people because of songs with this much weight .
I agree
Album great cup of coffee,joey,sara,hey tell em it wuz crazzzy joe! And b4 mom gave me up she used to hold me while playing dylan....weeping as I remember, takes alot out of me,but I love dylan born 1 day after him,she wanted to name me Dylan but gram said NOT a chance biblical names she wasn't having that
Holy shit look at the lyrics, this is a novel not a song, love it
This happened. Search Hurricane Carter.
Proper master story rock singer.
No it's a non-fiction narrative not a novel
sal6942013...this is non fiction...the number 1 contender for the Middleweight Belt.... could've been the CHAMPION OF THE WORLD....
Google sports century.... Rubin Hurricane Carter
I’m only a year old but I already appreciate his lyrical dexterity and musical integrity. Anyway, time for my bottle.
😅😅
Good bubby
I agree that eight minutes doesn't seem long enough. The first thing I do EVERY MORNING is listen to "I want you" then "Hurricane" It puts me in a great mood all day long. Next time you guys listen to I want you pay attention to just the music part. The way the song masterfully flows with that beautiful upbeat rhythm. How could it not make you feel good. 😊 Just sooooooooo awesome!!!! Thanks Dylan!!!
I love to blast this one out

This is not only a classic song that has stood the test of time, it is a story, a saga set to music... ...poignant and meaningful still to this day. The legend of Dylan still relevant in 2023.
Love this,happened to my people, because of my people's skin color
the injustice served to 'Hurricane' still resonates today, reflecting the injustice black men receive in the American {in} justice system
It is great song. Ruben Carter was innocent of murder. However, after his release from jail, he was convicted of rape. Of a woman who had been campaigning on his behalf.
dudes still doing that forever tour too lmfao
@@mokfproductions3972 Hurricane Carter and Artis were both guilty. Every killer in history claims they didn't do it.
R.i.p to Rueben "Hurricane" Carter, much love and respect to Bob Dylan one of my favorite songs all-time.
I feel you bratha careter .R.I.P ✊
Hell Yes
Philly Treez hands down my favorite movie since I saw it at age 15 in theatres
My favorite song Bob Dylan
Rubin"Hurricane"Carter.
I was grown up with Dylan's songs. My older brother used to sing his ballads, playing guitar. Unforgettable moments of my childhood... especially now since my bro, whose name was also Robert, left us some years ago.
😳🙏🏻🌟✝️🇨🇭🇫🇷
What a talentuous musician and song writer.
Before hearing Bob Dylan: Why the hell does Bob Dylan have a Nobel Prize in Literature?
After hearing Bob Dylan: Oh, actually that makes sense.
See the reception speech that he gave to a lovely lady to read to them. He didn't go. It had to do with the fact that a song is not just poetry or literature...you have to consider the music, too. Like a Shakespeare play, which is not only literature. Shakespeare had to think about the stage, the props, the movement of the actors, etc. Bob didn't go, but I think that he started making more money after that, which is fabulous.

@@kamrulhassan7352 OH, PLEASE!!! BOB IS A GENIUS. MAYBE THE FACT THAT HE IS JEWISH BOTHERS YOU.
The song is dedicated and, based around a real life event of injustice that happened to Rueben "Hurricane" Carter who was accused of murder in 1966. He served over 20 years in prison, he was released years later in 1985 after they found he was innocent all along, and was targeted by a white cop... Bob dylan and other black songwriters dedicated songs to him during his time in prison, to highlight his innocence. This is one of those song. A masterpiece and piece of history....... Trust me if you listen to Bob Dylan then you can' t possible hate black people... because he's been advocating for Black people for over 40 years. His songs are based around the civil rights, and his own creativity.
❤
You are so wrong. Dylan is a racist advocating the destruction of society by lying about reality in this song. BTW - Dylan knows the song is BS - he has not performed it in over thirty years.
Shite people dont hate blacks...not in the last 80 or so years...but oh man how black people hate the white people
can't fix stupid.
20 years in prison
A good film too. But even better music. This dude Dylan is a poet, a wordsmith and a wonderful singer. He’s the best! No one like him in todays music scene. I’m so glad I was born in the late 50s.
best poet of his era without a doubt...writes stories and compiles them in a way that you have to know whats happening in the song, sometimes he makes you happy, sometimes sad, he's a genius, no radical vocal range and not a John McLaughlin, not a bad guitar player at all but not Al di Meola knocking on heavens door is 4 chords. Yet last I heard 38 albums just an excellent song writer and musician 👌🏻 Dying breed...we're in a lull atm, too many talent competitions i think 🤔
Bob Dylan. The definition of what being truly "woke" means. A brave man. Had the balls to speak out about oppression, racism, and inequality during a time when it wasnt "cool" or part of some social media trend. I tip my cap to Bob Dylan. A true ambassador and a man who brought the plight of racism to the radio waves,record players and concert halls of America. F'ing legend.
Thank you for realizing this!!!
I watched the movie....a real opener..
@schwoogie. Was he now? Interesting.
I read Rubin Carter’s biography and these are my thoughts after reading it.

If you’re ever depressed, just remember you got to live in the same lifetime as Bob Dylan
hence the dislike
hehe you're comment made me laugh out loud, tnx
@Bob Dylan omg bob dylan! what a coincidence to see you in the comment sections of such an underground artist, I didn't know you listened to this kind of music!!!
Yeah and today is his birthday.
@@chantubes Hahaha that isn't him.
The Establishment didn't like this song one bit because it told the truth. A true classic !
Absolutely l'establishment pas content
Irl he did it and hated bob dylan for getting rich off this song and doing nothing for him ...like putting a million dollars in his commissary account.
Powerful. We need more stand up people like Dylan to combat the injustice in this world.
Yep..4 sure
Full Lyrics :
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
She sees a bartender in a pool of blood
Cries out my God, they killed them all
Here comes the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously
I didn't do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand
I saw them leavin', he says, and he stops
One of us had better call up the cops
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that
In Paterson that's just the way things go
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you want to draw the heat

So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in
They took him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!
Here's the story of the Hurricane
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame
Remember that murder that happened in a bar
Remember you said you saw the getaway car
You think you'd like to play ball with the law
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night
Don't forget that you are white
Arthur Dexter Bradley said I'm really not sure
The cops said a poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
You don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
You'll be doin' society a favor
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
And though they could not produce the gun
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
The crime was murder one, guess who testified
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell
That's the story of the Hurricane
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world
@williamscooper112 Since 2021 Im 16 btw
Now this is what I call a song.
thanks man
If you find this song moving watch the movie “The Hurricane” with Denzel Washington. It tells the story of the man he’s singing about. The movie plays this song in it. Brought me to tears. Fantastic movie and song.
No one should have been treated the way Rubin Carter was.
Haklisin
Rubin Carter was a murderer. He should have been treated much worse than he was. Committed his first murder when he was only 12 years old. Bob Dylan is a complete dupe to memorialize a murderer. But he did the same thing with his "George Jackson" song.
@@ingenuitas you honestly believe Rubin was guilty? Have you done any research on his trials at all?
Im gonna watch this film didnt know it insisted tbh
@@ingenuitas Yes but he woke up after the second trial, as did all the other black celebrities and never performed the song live again
I saw him live in the perfect setting. It was a hot summer day in a forrest just outside Athens Greece, Dylan played last that evening. There must have been just over 1500 people, everyone was sitting down, in groups of four or five people just listening as if he played privately for us. Dylan came out with his harmonica, welcomed everybody to sit down on the grass and played his slide guitar. Just an amazing evening which gave you a feeling of another era.
Still one of the greatest.
I’m going to see him Monday in New Orleans. Can’t wait
He's old, is he still good
Queria ter estado aí com VCS 😢
If it’s great it’s great, time doesn’t matter, been listening to this 50 years, and it’s still great 😊
Thank goodness for some people who have good taste and appreciate lyrical genius ❤
When my generation were screaming for the Beatles, I was totally into this mans songs! Fifty years later, nothing's changed!
So true. I just thoroughly listened to the lyrics of this song for the first time recently and it is hauntingly still so relevant. Although since you mentioned the Beatles, fun fact: Dylan introduced them to marijuana. The results are history...
Puts allot in perspective
Why even compare the two? 🤣 doing yourself a complete disservice. Take them both for what they were..complete and utter game changers
Fifty years later and nothing’s changed? So in other words: the times they aren’t a changin’.
The beatles, always the beatles.
The instrumentation on this song is out of this world, fantastic, drums bass and violin, all supreme
Not to mention, of course ... the cello behind the violin. Awesome.

You should've been there when he performed this song at Boston's Music Hall in November 1975. It was a 4-hour show and even though he sang "Hurricane" during the show, he sang it AGAIN during one of his three encores. We were in heaven.
This album is a really good introduction to 70s Dylan, because the production is great. Its not as great as the album before it (Blood On The Tracks), but it definitely sounds better. But Dylan has so much great music that's so different each time, it's crazy.
I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THIS SONG, EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING ENGLISH. MELODY, ARRANGEMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION ARE AMAZING.
Whenever Bob sings, there's nothing left to be said.
Still listening in 2024 🎉
Moi Miss happy weekend princess ❤
A huge humanitarian effort by an influential artist to free an innocent man. Can’t put a price on the Power of influence. Thanks Bob Dylan gr8ful I am. Blessings
Actually a kid with disability who done most the work look it up maddest story
@@johnwayne1069 interesting
Bro don't know the full details but he found out about it and did everything he could to get his foster parents to find evidence he was innocent
Lesra Martin a boy at the time read Rubins autobiography, what don't you get
Youre just a fucking idiot piss off
"Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is just a game"
That line is really crucial. Let's see where this truth will get us
A current conundrum
Still a problem, isn’t it?
Woow
yeah, feel bad for Derick Chauvin, the mob is going to have him imprisoned
My dad is 62. I'm now 40 and my dad introduced this genius into my life aged six and now I listen to Dylan everyday a musical genius ❤🙏
I’m 28 years old and I’m so glad to hear he’s music before it’s to late
Me too! ❤
Man, justice ain't never a given. This song winds up my hatred of the blatant wrongdoers in power who do not care who may go under the bus.

The movie The Hurricane was on and this started playing.. I had to listen to the entire song again
Been so long. This IS Music!!
And a true murderer....
@@BONK_2000 Dude wtf?.. such a stupid coment
@@softan while i agree from a judicial standpoint there were huge mistakes made in his conviction he only ever had one title fight(which he lost) and apart from that he had a 27-12-1 record
This song is truly genius. To be able to turn a real event into a song where the lyrics flow perfectly is true talent.
And it goes on for almost 8 minutes with just verse/chorus and no change, yet it does not feel a second too long. Brilliant
He deserved that Nobel Prize..
Damn man, You put that into words real good!
@@RestedDurrow It does not feel a second too long. That’s what I noticed, too.

Dylan is my Poet. I can't live without his music.
Happy Birthday, mr. Dylan
1977, bad winter, lived in a log house with 4 other young guys, we wore this album out. Miss those days.
Nice!
I never skip by this song.

@@MrLimaGui you thought dylans british like i did. 😂😂
@@sanjivkhadka4234 i actually did
Bob Dylan never just did a song... He made music about something that mattered.
And that's why so many have covered him. Genius songwriter imo
Passerai alla storia della musica rock grande Bob 😔🇮🇹🌷🌷
I was glad to hear this music at the hight of the 60s such great meaningful music for those times and todays
This song really highlights how great of a vocal phraser Dylan is. A lot of people like to criticize his vocals but who cares if your technically good if you can't communicate any emotion or urgency. Who else but Dylan could pull off a song like this?
You're talking about the Dylan of old (his voice was never better than on Desire I feel), his voice is 'shot' since 1990 and really, today he is the worst vocalist to attract many people to his show, they come out of respect, to see the 'legend', NOT for his performance which is simply staggeringly poor, unsettling even. He rapes his own songs, one has to listen very carefully to fragments of the lyrics to know what song he's raping. During one of the shows it took me minutes to realise he was doing Senor, a song of which I know the lyrics by heart. If you're unlucky he's grumpy, stands with his back to the public ... A weird man indeed. And I've seen him 6x, for I'm an admirer and collector of his music for which I'm forever indebted to the man. Greetings.
@@johansterk354 Obviously not been to any of his shows lately or listened to Rough and Rowdy Ways have you? his voice has been impeccable lately. And I just saw him live, not only did he seem to be enjoying himself and spoke to the audience but he did not rape any of his songs. Show was great and casual fans I spoke to in attendance agreed. You sound like a moron.
@@Rings-of-Saturn2 And you sound, your soubriquet indicates this, like a die-hard fan. He can produce an album of farts and you'll all start screaming 'masterpiece'. I'm tired of getting into discussions with die-hard fans, who think of their object of admiration as 'a hero', 'he is my hero'. A hero is someone who rescues people from burning buildings ... Just a step below Jesus-divination, ... There always have to be blind followers, and I think Dylan never really liked to be worshipped by the likes of you. You sound like a spineless 'fan'. Greetings, again.
@@johansterk354 When did I say anything about hero's? We are talking about music and how wrong you are objectively. Rough and Rowdy Ways album and tour have both been critically praised, both songwriting and vocals. That is coming from critics, casuals as well as die hard fans. He literally sounds smoother and better on his most recent album than he does here so his voice is anything but shot like you claimed, have you actually been listening or are you simply restating the same garbage people have been throwing around Dylans whole career? Don't get mad when someone corrects your objectively wrong comment. Yeah I get it, your one of those intellectual lightheads who calls himself a Dylan fan and only knows Blowin in the Wind and Hurricane then shows up at a live show pissed off because he did not play precisely what you wanted even though you dummies can easily search a setlist. And I dont know what Dylan would think of me but what I do know is that his live shows are specifically designed to root out trash like you and it is all the better for the majority of us,
@@Rings-of-Saturn2 I'll not waste much time with die-hard fans, but will tell you this. I know a couple of hundred of the man's songs by heart, entire albums. My Dylan collection stands at over 4000 items, and both of these things are NOT something to boast about, I've just followed the man's music (not the man himself, don't know him, think he's a weirdo at best) for decades. I stand in awe of some of the music and the man's lyrical achievements, Street Legal, Basement Tapes, Blood on the Tracks, Desire, Planet Waves, Infidels, ... know the songs by heart. So I know what I talk about, although I'm not an expert, or, god forbid, a Dylanologist, hate that term. Bowie's last album was critically praised, that of Leonard Cohen, ... Not that musicians cannot make good music at old age, but many of these guys were drained before they were 40. Dylan went on to produce Time out of mind, a great album and Love and Theft thereafter. Soon followed crap such as the Christmas Album, the crooner stuff, ... I have several copies of Rough and Rowdy, hate that stuff, his voice seems to come from beyond the grave. It's upsetting, and no young person who wants to be introduced to Dylan should start with this stuff, for fear of never trying again, and missing out on great music. I once took a friend to a Dylan concert some 10 years ago, he didn't know of the man and his music, Dylan came on (his band all top musicians, Jim Keltner on drums), sang like a crow with asthma, after 15 minutes the man got up and said slowly 'That is the worst thing I've ever seen'. He left and started pacing about in the hallways until the end of the concert. I couldn't argue with him and every concert I went to, six in total, it was the same, people who did not know his music sitting in disbelief, then leaving, it's just incredible how he rapes his own songs. Tangled up in blue, my favourite song of all songs by all artists, raped, unrecognisable, sung with incredible ludicrous voice. It's how it is, nothing die-hard fans can tell me changes this. Never in a concert do you see people leave so early, and the reason is obvious, the most horrible voice in musical history. That does not take away the man's realisations, which are, to me, beyond compare in the popular music industry. Well. ....
Holding listeners for 8.30 minutes of a story through a song, with social messages and protest are phenomenal abilities that not many singers have. This is the boldness of Dylan, he does what he wants and does not submit to dictates. He ranges from folk music to rock, jazz and others without fear.
Now listen to the traveling wilburys....i miss all of them especially roy orbison😢
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I so agree that the explicity of his lyrics hold you, educate you, taking you back you an era I hope we don't repeat. I grew up in the city, my father was a police officer and I heard many a story or similar circumstances for black people, not called that back in the day and any other person of color also had their names that were not "nice or acceptable" but people did not stand on social justice in those days and ppl spoke their minds without fear of judgement. I never felt that was okay or acceptable and I learned an early social lesson when my parents visited Montgomery, Alabama back in the mid fifties. I knew of the division of the races of course in the cities but my city did not label water fountains, restrooms, restaurants, buses or shopping areas as did Montgomery. I was shocked as a child seeing ppl step off the sidewalk for us "white folk" . That day something clicked in my brain. I marched later in life with Martin Luther Jr. and cried when he died. I have lived my life helping others and there has been absolutely no division of privileges to anyone I have met. No matter their living conditions, rich or poor. All the same in God's eyes. Could never understand going to church every Sunday and Wednesday learning about love and fairness. Then ppl would leave church and practice bigotry. I hope my life will be a testament to my grandchildren (which btw are mixed Islander race) that love is for everybody. Be colorblind people! I am white. And white ppl have suffered too however we were not picked out of a crowd and labeled. A damn shame to live in that era and my hope for the future is that we can all be treated equally. 70 some years have gone by now since that pivotal moment in my life and I have seen a lot of things. A lot of not pretty things. This song outlines how it really was and Bob does not cover it up and make it pretty. He says it like it was and decades later, still is to some degree. I listen to this song regularly and listen to the history here. No punches held back. And as said before, to this day our prisons are filled with a lot of Hurricanes.
@@theresakotas-akridge1418 We are forever in that "era" until we over turn this broken system that incentivizes incarceration. I grew up in the communist hell hole of Rhode Island where if you were under 50 and drove after dark the cops always "thought you had a headlight out" LOL... that was just ten years ago when I thankfully left New England forever!
One of my favourite Dylan tracks .
One that really had some meaning !

I’m 29yrs old. I remember my dad playing this to me when I was a kid in the mid 90’s. Weird how it’s still relevant in 2021
Play this every time I wAlk into pub
Me too, the same hahahaha xD
Me too haha in his transit van, I used to think what’s this shit...then I grew up
Idk just be aware the media makes more money if the victim is black, so stories of white on black violence end up more talked about
Shanghai
Best song of all time!!!!!! How you can put such a complicated story together in 7 mins while rhyming and the beat that goes along. I used to box for years and find myself getting hyped up several times with my shirt off ;-) the melody or whatever its called when he sings ‘you’ll be doing society a favour’ gives me goosebumps xxx
Hurricane was very guilty. The song is, therefore, flawed.
love mr.zimmerman singing this. There is no room in this world for Racism. R.I.P. Rubin Carter.
1976, I heard this blasting from the radio and I'd never heard such a long song, gypsy violins and passionate outrage over injustice...and thus began my Dylan epiphany. 😎💖
Olive Eisner .....circa June 1977 i sat in Spain having a beer with a friend, this song came over the PA. First time i ever heard it. Damn! It left a lasting impression.
Agree. Too bad the Hurricane was a killer after all..
Right on. So perfectly stated.

❤Bob Dylan Music since I was a little kid. Pops played his music all the time. ✌🏻🫶🏻👍🏻
Anyone else cry listening to this? I just find it so heartbreaking that Rubin went through all of this.
I’m pretty sad that black people, in general, are still going through all of this.
Wanna really have something to cry about Wikipedia hurricane Carter’s full story and look at what he did after this story and sadly what he died of, cancer! He was eaten alive by his own body/country(?)!
I will NEVER submit to American cancer treatment! I will die first! Everyone has to die of something why should it be cancer TREATMENT side effects, I’ll take a plain old death by cancer over that other any day of the week!
It's a great song, Carter was a magnificent boxer, but he was as guilty as hell, and he lost to Giardiello in the fight portrayed in the film. Giardiello was paid tens of thousands to shut up.
Yes and angry
No one seems to sing 'em like Bob anymore. I'm so glad we have so many recordings of this man's songs. There's just something soothing about listening to the way he sings
Peter Doherty does👍
There is a Jordie called Sam Fender and he tells storysongs. He is recent and he's really fucking good!

Same thing.
I’m still….. 😂😂😂 too good, can’t stop ✋
One of those songs that still makes you realize how great life really is!!! Despite everything in it.❤❤
I will always like you for writing this song about Rubin Carter. He died 6 years ago today. I got to meet him before his death. I never believed he did those killings and his book The 16th Round touch me deeply. He could have been thrown his life away after he was release from jail, but instead he use it to help others wrongly accused. A good man Rubin was. A good man you are Bob Dylan for writing this song and shining light on his story.
Rubin did good things with his freedom. He was a good man all along!

Bob Dylan , Weltklasse .😎🎤📻🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻🥁
if great art is defined as being both 'timely & timeless'...then this song is definitely great art.
"If ur black u better not show up on the street lest u wanna draw the heat'...'couldn't help but make u feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game...' could have been written today. In songwriting...There's Bob..then there's everyone else.
2023 and still in love with this song & the story , it never gets old .
