Gates Of Eden live by Bob Dylan (acoustic with the band, harmonica; Bucky Baxter on electric mandolin) at Palais des Sports in Toulouse, France on 30 June 1993. "We’ve heard many wonderful performances of the song, but this one surely must stand out as one of the best, if not the very best. A ten minute epic in the year of epics, this is an extraordinary mood piece. The last verse is finished at about six and a half minutes, with most of the last four minutes sustained by a gentle, exploratory harp break before Mr Guitar Man steps in to land the song", Michael Johnson (aka Kiwipoet) writes on Untold Dylan blog. Link on expecting rain today brought me back to that Toulouse concert. Yeah, I think he is absolutely right. What do you think ?
