I have posted & rhapsodized about this song before, but I don't care.
This song slips easily into Dylan's top ten, lifetime. Maybe top five. It is such a tour-de-force lyricaly, and its coupled with some of the most impressive music he's ever produced.
>>> His jaundiced view of the slow-motion armageddon of our corrosive culture, expressed so brutally in Things Have Changed, is now presented as a surreal, comedic panic. Mortality stared down, fate tossed overboard like unneeded panties.
It really is a remarkable song, and this performance is so right.

I agree. I must have missed your earlier post, so am glad for this new one. I looked up the "lyrics":http://www.lyricstime.com/bob-dylan-high-water-for-charley-patton-lyrics.html, and they can't be beat.
I take it your not in Portland today.. I can't even recall a day like today at the Coast, was just perfect ... not a could in the sky and very mild wind.. love the lyrics on this one too!
Cheers,
