Great Grammy Performances, Part 1

Never really knew too much about Bob Dylan, except that he was supposed to be great.

In the run-up to this year's Grammy Awards, I'll be highlighting some of my favorite performances from years past. There's no better way to get the ball rolling than with Dylan's performance of "Lovesick" at the 1997 Grammy Awards.

I was a freshman in college when I first saw this clip, and I at once understood his legend. His sound is distinctive, his guitar playing is excellent, and he is singing about heartbreak in such a way that you'd have to be made out of stone not to relate.
