Bob Dylan Gets Lesson About His Classic Song From Springsteen

. (Classic Rock) Bob Dylan has hailed Bruce Springsteen's live cover of his classic track Knockin' On Heaven's Door as "incredible." Dylan was recently named the 2015 MusiCares Person Of The Year and a tribute concert was held in his honour at the LA Convention Center. A host of artists gathered at the event including Beck, Crosby, Stills & Nash, John Mellencamp, Bonnie Raitt, Jack White and Neil Young.

But the veteran singer/songwriter reserved special praise for Springsteen, and his version of the song. Dylan says on his website: "Springsteen did that song like the record - something I myself have never tried.

"I never even thought it was worth it. Maybe never had the manpower in one band to pull it off. To tell you the truth, I'd forgotten how the song ought to go.

"Bruce pulled all the power and spirituality and beauty out of it like no one has ever done. He was faithful, truly faithful to the version on the record." Read more here.
