Just grabbed tickets to see him next month in Lowell. I'm so very excited to see him for the 1st time. He might not be touring much longer, so this is fantastic. I've been saying for years I need to see Dylan and Willie Nelson live before they pass on to the great gig in the sky.

Sweet! I need to see Dylan also. He's going to be at Foxwoods on November 27th. Thinking about getting tickets for that.

With a song book as extensive (and of such high quality) as Dylan's, it's almost impossible to pick just one favourite. But most of the time (pun not intended, though that is also one of his best) it's Tangled Up In Blue for me. Specifically the version on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3, Rare & Unreleased.
"It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry"
"If You See Her Say Hello"
"When The Ship Comes In"
Wow. Watch the '65 Tour Documentary; its cool to hear how/why Dylan wrote "When The Ship Comes In." Gives you a new appreciation for the lyrics.

Who Killed Davey Moore?
The Lonesome Death of Poor Hattie Carroll
It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Dying)
I just grabbed Bootleg Series 4: Live in NYC 1964 with Joan Baez -- I love these pre-Vietnam War protest songs. His best protest songs were all written before the escalation of the war.
"FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam0925
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
Like cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break
In the fury of the moment, I can see the master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yester year
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
Then the sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
Then onward in my journey, I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintery light
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

its like picking a favorite child. the guy has 500 plus songs in his catalogue, 40 plus albums, and nearly every single one are top notch.
Boots of spanish leather is gorgeous. all the well known protest songs continue to inspire activists 40 years plus after they were recorded because of how well he wrote them. Hattie Carroll is devastating.

Definately Lay Lady Lay,
Beautiful and sad, I love a song about unrequited love or being the 'other' man or woman.
Lay, Lady, Lay
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he’s standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

SO many great songs to choose from, but first Dylan song I ever heard was Mr. Tambourine Man so it has special significance for me!

"Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it"
If someone tells me there's a better lyricist than Bob, I'll have to fight them.

This was my first intro to Dylan growing up, for some reason, while all his music has had an impact on me, this album was truest in my heart.
"Doo do do do doo do doo, Doo do do do doo do doo..."
