Hey That was great!!!!!!
The only thing that i would say about performing this song is to understand and appreciate how beautiful this message of yearning is, and how much it means to everyone who's ever felt this way; to really and truly understand what you're singing, and to therefore attempt to get at this intangible along with the narrator, along with the tambourine man, and along with the audience. There are a lot of bad covers of this song, and actually even the Byrds version that made it famous only has the first two verses! The last verse is the best one! The true genius of this song is not the melody or the chords but that which shines through those melody and chords. Understand this, and performance will be easy! It's actually a pretty easy song and Dylan changes it every time he plays it so there's no point in issuing specific performance tips.
