Best Of Bob Dylan 1978-81 - #2

Thanks to Liam Mogan:

“Great to see that this much-maligned period of His Bobness' career is being re-appraised and given the regard it justifies. Just two points, though.

“Firstly, ignoring Saved altogether is a travesty. At least one
track from In the Garden, Saved, Solid Rock and Pressing On deserves to be in there. And any 'best of' from this period must include Satisfied Mind.

“Secondly, some of the 'best' music from this period comes from
Bob's live concerts, especially the early ones.

“My 'best of':

Changing Of The Guards
True Love Tends To Forget
Where Are You Tonight
Gotta Serve Somebody
I Believe In You
Slow Train
When He Returns
Solid Rock - Warfield 16-11-79 (Contract With The Lord)
Saved - Warfield 16-11-79 (Contract With The Lord)
Coverdown, Breakthrough - Toronto 20-04-1980 (Born Again Music)
Satisfied Mind
Pressing On
Caribbean Wind (out-take)
Angelina (out-take)
In The Summertime
Every Grain Of Sand
The Groom's Still Waiting At the Altar.”
