This World Can’t Stand Long ...9:12 am
From the Mohegan Sun Arena (a gambling resort in Uncasville, Connecticut) on November 20th, 2001, Dylan and the boys singing This World Can’t Stand Long (mp3 sample here for a little while).
If we only give our hearts to God
Let Him lead you by the hand
Nothing in this world to fear
He’ll lead you beyond the burnin’ sand
This world it can’t stand long
Be ready don’t wait too late
We should know it can’t stand long
For it is too full of hate
…
Addendum: Thanks to reader Dana for the link to this page at a website called Not Dark Yet, where the author ruminates a while on the occasions on which Dylan has sung this particular song (37 performances listed). Also provided there is another mp3 - this time of a performance in Anaheim, California on March 10th, 2000 (only the second time Dylan had done it). I’m putting a copy of that on my own server here for a little while. It has a subtly different feel, with short harmonica solos punctuating each third of the song. Very nice indeed.
