1962 studio vs. 1971 live "Hard Rain"

New York, NY (Columbia Studio A and Madison Square Garden)December 6th, 1962 and August 1st, 1971

Listen as the dusty deadpan of the 1962 studio recording is replaced by country twang, a host of casual ornaments, and strategic cracks in the voice on the 1971 version.
