It's so much better than Bob Dylan's version. That is only with an acoustic guitar.

I don't think the original Dylan version in the early 70s was just with accoustic guitars although accoustic guitar versions did feature on later compilation albums.
Bob Dylan was one of the first singers I became really interested in listening to and I was a fan of Bob Dylan long before I became interested in Meat Loaf music. I really love Dylan's early version of this. Meat's version is very different. He sings it well and it is pleasant to listen to but my heart is really with the Bob Dylan version.
Having said that Meat puts a lot more emotion into his singing and if it is meant as a message to his fans it's a really nice gesture.
Edit: It took me a long time to actually hear Meat singing this. Bob Dylan's voice was in my head everytime it played. Now I'm hearing Meat's voice I find I like this a lot.
New score:8.5/10
