"I Believe in You," Live in San Francisco, 1979

San Francisco, CA (Fox Warfield Theater)November 6th and 16th, 1979

The first two excerpts are from November 6th, the last two from November 16th. Dylan strategically causes his voice to break at the climax in every one of them. In the first excerpt, listen for how Dylan confidently surpasses the high E4 to touch on a G4 at "even though we be apart" and "even on the mornin' after." This makes clear that he can sing E4 and above just fine at this point in his career. His breaks on that note are intentional.
