"Hard Rain," live (1994, Hershey, PA)
Hershey, PA (Hershey Park Stadium) — August 17, 1994
Dylan's next performance of "Hard Rain" after Nara shows his new, lyrical approach to the song. The tone throughout is warm, generous, and tender. Dylan carefully sustains his sung pitches, gingerly traversing the D-major scale, with nary a hint of a blue note.
