Bob Dylan: 10 great live versions of “Ain’t Talkin’”

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”mulled_wine” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-quote-left”]
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind

You’re talking to a person that feels like he’s walking around in the ruins of Pompeii … A song is a reflection of what I see all around me all the time.
~Bob Dylan (to Mikal Gilmore, 25 September 2001)[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

  • Thanks for these!
    I was on the rail in Minneapolis,
    and the rolling groove was incredible.
    And of course Obama won that night.
    Lots of joy.

    • "Ain’t Talkin’" was first recorded in February-March 2006, for the album "Modern Times" (released August 29, 2006).

      But "Highlands" on the other hand had it's live debut in Chula Vista, California - June 25, 1999.
