2 Nearer To The Fire – Bob Dylan 1981

1 Introduction A new year, a new album, a new tour. For once Bob Dylan did things in the expected order. First he recorded a new album, then he hit the road to promote it. Only, CBS didn't grasp this new of approach of his and forgot to release it till after the summer tour in Europe, much to Dylan's disappointment and irritation. The new album, Shot Of Love , was described by him as his best since Blonde On Blonde . This year also saw the return of some secular Bob Dylan love songs as well as a few last gospel songs. It was the fourth year in a row that he was touring, but it was to be the last for two years and the last for five years in the US.

4 Shot Of Love Shot Of Love took a long time to record and a large number of songs were recorded and abandoned. The recordings started in late March and continued in a number of studios until mid May. No recordings from the many March and April sessions were included on the final release. Most astonishing is the fact that a number of great songs were left off like Angelina, Caribbean Wind, Need A Woman . The sessions resulted in at least 212 recordings of 54 different songs and a large number of unidentified songs. Here’s a breakdown: # takes released songs 15 125 outtakes 35 82 covers 4 5 unidentified 34 Total 54 246

Songs One new gospel song, written in Oslo during the tour, Jesus Is The One , is performed eight times with different lyrics each time. City Of Gold and Covenant Women are both played for the last time. Some rare acoustic renditions from this part of the tour: Blowin' In The Wind It's All Over Now, Baby Blue It's Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) Love Minus Zero/No Limit She Belongs To Me The Times They Are A-Changin' . Rare covers: Barbara Allen – with the band! Fever , Here Comes The Sun – first verse only, Dylan changes to Girl from North Country when he realizes he does not know the words Let It Be Me – duet with Clydie King. Mary From The Wild Moor – "a real old song" The "Unknown Instrumental" is played for no apparent reason. The fact that Dylan says hello to Brigitte Bardot during the concert has led to the suggestion that this is a Bardot movie theme.
