PART 2 OF 18. For HIGH QUALITY & STEREO: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=f7r-8dfsYUA&fmt=18

In the late 1970s, Bob Dylan found religion. Importantly, he became a born-again Christian. He said:

"Jesus did appear to me as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. There was a presence in the room that couldn't have been anybody but Jesus. Jesus put his hand on me. It was a physical thing. I felt it. I felt it all over me. I felt my whole body tremble. The glory of the Lord knocked me down and picked me up".

In the wake of Dylans conversion, he released three Christian albums - Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980) and Shot Of Love (1981). Gotta Serve Somebody, from Slow Train Coming, was a Top 30 hit and the album outsold both Blood On The Tracks and Blonde On Blonde in its first year of release.

For a period, Dylan refused to play any of his older compositions, as well as any secular material. According to Wikipedia, Dylan would say he would not sing any song which hadn't been given to him by the Lord to sing. Fans at his shows wishing to hear his older songs openly expressed their disappointment. Hecklers continued to appear at his concerts, only to be answered by lectures from the stage.

This compilation collects together some of Dylans key Christian songs that were performed live between 1979 and 1981. However, missing are key tracks of the period - Gotta Serve Somebody and Every Grain Of Sand.

As far as is ascertainable, this recording has never been officially released.
