"Hard Rain," live (1978, Nuremberg)

Nuremberg, Germany (Zeppelinfeld)July 1, 1978

Dylan sang "Hard Rain" one time on the 1978 tour. After the extravagant generic experiments of 1971, 1975, 1976, and earlier in 1978, the performance feels like gathering the song back together, recalling its original form.
