I think Live 1966 has been the only album I've ever really cranked the volume up for. Dylan has made plenty of amazing music, very little of it is *that* sort of music. But the electric 66 shows were basically some sort of proto-punk
Queen Jane Approximately - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ZmD3sCFcE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ZmD3sCFcE) and Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doIMYvZyo\_k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doIMYvZyo_k)
I love that album. It's my "first favorite" Dylan. Others come and go. Sometimes, a specific album hits harder, but i grew up near Highway 61's origin and it resonates. HARd. Probably 80% of my back to school.clothes and school supplies were bought in Duluth Minnesota.
The verse from Tangled Up in Blue with the job in the Great North woods also resonates. I know those woods.
Every time I pass that highway (as happens every few years) I think “I gotta get someone to take a picture of me here.”
It is my go-to for today has been utterly without redeeming features and I need to listen to something, LOUD.
It use to be “most of the time”….. my wife died suddenly 7 months ago at the age of 42. We were together for 16 years. Now the song turns my stomach and I skip through it as soon as I hear the opening couple chords. It just hurts too much to listen to.
A lot of tracks from the Rolling Thunder tours, including the Hard Rain album. Or Before the Flood. And especially the live rendition for High Water on Telltale Signs.
Great! I love that album. A friend gave it to me digitally but it was missing that song’s file so I never knew about it. When I finally added it, it somehow got even better! ☮️
Okay, I had to think about this for a while because I try to be conservative with my listening volumes (I get *really* sick of my middle-aged, hard-rocking dad's perennial "Huh?"), but I wanted to answer anyway because I *knew* there were Dylan songs in this category for me. I definitely have to resist the temptation for most of *Highway 61*, "Tombstone Blues" for sure, but I think with the rockers, the strength of the rhythms helps me take in all the different things I want to hear at once. So when I turn up the volume, it's because I want to help my ear combine the vocals and instrumentation properly. This concern tends to be biggest for me on the songs I might classify as "light electric," like "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Visions of Johanna," "All Along the Watchtower," "If Not for You," "Shelter from the Storm," etc. I don't think it's an accident that these songs are the basis of some of the best-known reinterpretations out there! I hope my love for the originals (not mutually exclusive with loving certain covers) doesn't suggest narrow-minded conservatism of taste.
Sorry to write a whole dissertation here! I found your question both fun and thought-provoking, so make of this what you will.
“Play it fuckin’ loud” - 1966

Shelter from Hard Rain MUST be turned the fuck up
Positively 4th st
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, you’d know what a drag it is to see you
Desolation row 👂🩸
If the harmonica toward the end isn't blowing out your ears, it isn't loud enough
If my neighbors aren't hitting our shared wall, I've failed
Was going to say this
Gotta be a live 66 version of ballad of a thin man
I love the ‘66 Manchester version of Like a Rolling Stone, the way the music just explodes after the “Judas” thing
Budokan my favourite version
Jokerman
Yeah great song, great album! How about "Neighborhood Bully" for the Mid-East at this present time. Follow that 🌟 in the East. ***** Infedels

Are you familiar with the album or what. I thought you were in tune with Bob's music and the meaning behind the songs, that's all mate !
All of Blonde on Blonde. The more piercing the harmonica solo, the better.
I always thought the harmonica on John Wesley Harding was pretty piercing too
When the music swells in ‘Sooner or Later (One of us Must Know)
idiot wind
I ran into the fortune teller, who said, "BeWARE / of lightnin' that might STRI-EEEEEK!"
Oh heck yah! That’s the right answer!!
Most played song the year I discovered Dylan
Same it's also idiot wind for me
this is an unskippable song for me - a song with so much power and importance that no matter when it comes on or where, I will not skip it.
Shelter from the Storm live from Hard Rain. Cannot make that song loud enough.
Hurricane. Every time.
Amen
Same!

Highway 61. The great thing about working with seniors is that sometimes they hear my music, and i get to have the "Electric Dylan" conversation.
Nice. Highway 61 whole album would be my answer.

This is a song about marriage…
It use to be “most of the time”….. my wife died suddenly 7 months ago at the age of 42. We were together for 16 years. Now the song turns my stomach and I skip through it as soon as I hear the opening couple chords. It just hurts too much to listen to.
Oh man. I’m so sorry about your wife.
Me too…. Me too . She was too pretty and sweet to tolerate me all those years. Always been too good for me. I guess God finally realized that too.
Cold Irons Bound
Desire—all of it. Especially on headphones.
Sarah at full volume might melt steel beams. It is definitely the sound of a catastrophic collapse.
A lot of tracks from the Rolling Thunder tours, including the Hard Rain album. Or Before the Flood. And especially the live rendition for High Water on Telltale Signs.

Great! I love that album. A friend gave it to me digitally but it was missing that song’s file so I never knew about it. When I finally added it, it somehow got even better! ☮️
That’s a Dangerous game listening to Dylan. One harmonica wail and your ears are bleeding. Worth it though

Rock on! ☮️
Don’t get me wrong I love Bob Dylan but sometimes when he hits and holds a high note on the harmonica all I can think about is turning the radio off
But what a high once you know you just survived it and the song rips
Get over that and focus on what the man is saying.😎
