The Superbowl version felt underwhelming at the time of the big event but listen to it now...

I played it last Friday and it got cranked though not by me (always a good test).

All Along the Watchtower/Best of you.... now that makes me glad to be Prince fan.

It was played a few times on the European tour of 2011. And only because Adele made a hit out of it.

I may not know it, but I strongly suspect it! Dylan wrote Make You Feel My Love in 1997. Adele had a hit with it in the 2000s. (I forgot the exact year.) Prince never covered ANY Dylan song before or since. So I think we can safely say he found out about Make You Feel My Love through Adele.

I would love for Prince to cover more Dylan, but sadly I just don't think he's that into him. When he covers Dylan it's because of other artists, like Hendrix and Adele.

Imagine him covering 'Simple Twist of Fate' or 'Idiot Wind'... I think I would shit my pants and take photos for you all to see.

Then say "he covered it, likely because Adele had made the song a hit and he liked it", not "And only because Adele made it a hit", that sounds like he's just after some of those Adele dollars.

Whether it's Prince or Adele or Joey Coocoo covering the song, it would be Bob dollars anyway! The point is, Time Out of Mind came out in 97 and Prince said or did nothing that indicates he even heared that album (to be fair, neither did I in 97, I found out about it later), so I think we can safely say Prince found out about this song through Adele and covered the cover version. Okay?

Wow that would be amazing, that song is one of Dylan's best.

Is "Indifference" a Dylan song?

Sounds like Prince's version of Positively 4th Street to me.
