Slow Train [live] - Bob Dylan

Slow Train [live] - Bob Dylan
4:51
The Bootleg Series Vol. 13: Trouble No More 1979–1981, 2017 (recorded 1981)
Written by Bob Dylan

There are no less than six versions of "Slow Train" on this Bootleg set; the one featured here was recorded live at Earls Court, London, June 27, 1981.  This rendition, while riveting, with some excellent backing vocals, is not quite as blistering and fiery as I might like it, but as the song is one of Dylan's best tracks from his so-called gospel albums, I'll take it anyway.  And to be fair, there is a great guitar solo before the last verse.
