Me too. Even his boo’s are cool af. Like the way he calls Richard over the mic when he’s sat at a piano in a soundcheck somewhere. He’s the epitome of cool
Each generation's version of a "cool guy" is the next generation's version of a cheesy/corny guy. Except Dylan. Dylan is intergenerationally cool in every way. Fashion, look, manner of speaking, comedy sensibility, song sensibility...generations change but everyone keeps coming back to this guy as indisputably cool.
What people rarely mention is the fact that Dylan had pushed the acoustic guitar as far as it could go. Try writing four or five albums solely on acoustic guitar and see how frustrating it is when all your sound begins to bleed into each other. A band is a far more satisfying experience where you can allow improv and arrangement, avoiding the trap of sounding the same each time.
he also was a man who studied and enjoyed a mesh of music. To be talented is to do whatever you want be good at it, I think his stuff is pretty damn good, new and old. People boo him back then and say he was a sellout, just like they do today with his "croak throat" still touring. Now yeah, his voice has never been a Garfunkel, but was Hendrix as good a writer as a guitar player, some might say yeah, but let's be real his abilities to play a guitar were so good and insane it was just scary. I wonder how many people actually LISTEN to his new songs, because I would argue his writing is still there, and its writing which is why he became famous to begin with (the guy after Hammond pushed Dylan purely on the lyrics and helped bring him up along with Baez)
That folkie crowd was a bunch of phonies. They liked to hear depressing music about social problems. Those people never offered solutions, except government handouts, which make matters worse. As we near the death of our flesh, don’t you want to hear positive songs, with messages of hope and accomplishment?
Exactly. Another example is with Chuck Berry who began each song exclusively with an electric guitar riff and when you hear basically any song by him, they have the same electric guitar repeated riff.
It rlly badly affected him he got rlly paranoid and depressed at one point breaking down crying after a gig where he was booed of but it’s still badass that he never once gave in absolute legend
I love the fact that he kept growing sometimes fans will hold a artist back, "please keep doing that thing you did when I was 16" As the fan changes and grows up and grows older but they want the artist to stay in a perpetual state. I want an artist to mature just like everyone else.
RobL2756a As we grow and times change, we look back for a 'constant' or 'signpost'. Something to depend on, and remind us of where we came from. But if we saddle some 'celebrity' with the task of being exactly as we want to remember him/her, and to feed our 'nostalgic' craving, we are in for major disappointment.
He seems like he has always been willing to be an individual not reliant on conformity or fitting in much and that is part of why he is so misunderstood I think. A need to belong is something many are manipulated by he doesn't seem to care much sure it's lonely sometimes but at least he's free.
I was at a concert in Sydney Australia in 66. A few walked out. I stayed for the greatest concert of my life. I was only 16 at the time. Wish I was still. Dave
@@folkchild7595 I don't see him looking fragile.. just a childish smile.. but I guess you've already heard his stinging answers to anyone who asked or told him something he didn't like..?
And yet,Dylan never threw a tantrum and walked off stage. The only time he walked off stage was to get his acoustic guitar so he could play what they wanted.
This was 50 years ago and they are exactly contemporary with today's creative awakened people, this could be happening in any music studio today. In their day they were light years ahead of their time.
from all the 60's clips I've seen of Dylan he seems like he's from the future. All his comments and observations seem current day and it's all the other people around him who are out of step & not "getting it". or maybe it's the weed...
how can Robbie Robertson look so bored when Dylan is being so ridiculously cute and funny!. I couldn't do it. That Dylan charisma is an amazing thing.......amazing.
+nikkiejanee1972 bob dylan is a fraud who got all of his songs written for him, he was picked out of a lineup that is how "stars" are made,, it's all scientific at the top, theres many levels to this matrix, the beauty of it is most people don't know their in it, think it's all quite natural, thats the beauty of perfect propaganda and indoctrination. in the music industry the one's higher up are all experienced in the sciences of sound, and the manipulation of the human mind of particular types of sound, the effects, the emotional effects it has on people, and also the words, the combination of words, which can have almost a magical impact on young people, who parrot generally the choruses and they vaguelly understand or remember consiously some of the main verses but the subconscious really listens carefully and retains these sublimiinal you might say almost in the background verses,and they actually act upon it, program them to act out, and they start to change their speech they'l copy the little words, neologisms they call it, for new words, they start to mimic them and don't know where it came from, they don't question anything, they had meetings in 1904 on this very topic, international meetings on the use of music, one guy from new york who was experimenting with a new type what became really jazz, not dixy land jazz, but the more discordant type jazz, and he was kidnapped eventually after the russian revolution taken over there because the russians knew the significance of music on the minds of the youth, and they worked heavily on this, they came out with the beatnik erra, that was a communist invention where they would associate a particular dress code type of music, and the use of marijuana for the west, and uses kind of discordant music which puts you into almost a hypnotic state where nothing really mattered, anything would go, and it took off very well in Europe but didn't quite make it for the us and canada, so they had to go back and revamp it and turn out pop music, now guys like matin who worked with the beetles was really a scientist in acoustics, and how it manipulated the mind, if you listen carefully to the types of arrangements and so on that were done in that early music it was definitely done not by backstreet musicians, or three cord wonders but people who really knew their stuff and how to get particular types of emotions attached to the words they were putting out, because when you have an emotive attachment to the wording itself it imprints itself on the mind and brain, and you will never forget it, it will affect your personality infact. this was done along time ago, they called it the sequencing of music trends, where they would come out with pop, and rock, again all masonic terms, then heavy metal referring to a sword, and on went right down to rap, to wrap things up, and the judge of course and the masons hit the gavel, so these are all masonic terms for a sequence, and during the late 80's wen they were creating massive unemployment they wanted a nihilistic generation, so they came out with it, basically what was, before they gave the word "metrosexual male" suddenly all the groups were metrosexual in this whaling music, sort of lost music, which was very depressing, it was meant to put them in a state of depression, i've been present when very older people who were professionals pick out people from a lineup, who their all looking for a job as a musician, or a group, and their picked, you, you, you and you, at the right size, the right weight and all the rest of it,the right looks, your now a group called so and so, you may sing 3 hits in a row and here's the songs, you get well payed you don't tell anybody about it, this is a setup, and they just act out their six months or a year in the hit parade, and then they disappear, you wouldn't believe the business behind it all at the top, and it's not done just by business people at the top, i've seen how they picked the top ten, top 20's, in britain at the bbc, and these were people with preda suits, woman and men in their 50's sometimes 60's had no interest obviously in the particular music, except for the psychological effects, and the social conditioning that they put threw, and they were picking what songs, all media in britain was gonna push as number 1 right up to 20, so this is how it really really is, it's all scientific, i met one guy who was one of the top rap groups he went through the drug scene, the whole thing and almost killed himself and then he left it, and he did get religion which helps allot of people who are addicted to substances and so on, but he said the same thing "we walked into the studio for the first time with an average song" girls boys all that kind of stuff, at the time he left the studio and was recorded it was kill cops and all this kind of stuff, completely changed.
It was a smack in the face to the beatniks and folkies of the day, who were so accustomed to his acoustic and harmonica laying the groundwork for his social hero vocals. When he came out wielding a Stratocaster and other electric instruments ... and vocals that discussed things other than social injustices ... the crowd couldn't handle it ... it was as if they had been delivered to another planet. I remember hearing about this performance on the radio at or near the time that it happened. I myself, was going to or coming from a playing job ... been a long time, now ...
I saw Bob at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium back in the mid sixties. It was the first time I heard him on electrics. I was ripped on acid, and he came out with Motor Psycho Nightmare, or one of those really raucous rock songs. I thought, this dude has sold out, he is a gay. I wanted to get the fuck out of that auditorium, but I was too stoned to make the move, while a quarter of the audience got up and walked out. I sat there, trying to get up and go, and just when I was about to finally get out of there, he played a song that grabbed me. A minute later, I felt like I was hovering above my seat, levitating in thin air. The rest of the session was absolutely fucking mind blowing. I learned a very important lesson that day. Dylan was so far ahead of me that it took time to even see his dust on the horizon. It was very unusual after that for me to get his message the first time I listened to a new album. The second time I understood a little more, and the third time I was invariably swept completely away.
That's true, they kind of had a bit of a tiff, I think. Paul and John told Bob they thought he was a bland stage presence, then Bob came back and said that they were just writing immature pop music. After that meeting, Bob started to go more electric with a full band, and the Beatles started doing albums like Revolver and Rubber soul :D They both took each others comments to heart, and in the end they matured into what legends we know and love today!
And to this day he’s still a fucking legend. I had the greatest opportunity to see him live on the front row last month and he was absolutely incredible ❤️
Reading 'Testimony' by Robbie Robertson, right now. It's interesting to hear Dylan talking about the audience during his tenure with The Hawks' and also to see Robbie sitting there, shoegazing. I recommend it.
He's so sweet & very precious at this age..very innocent.. looks So young. Later pics showed him wearing glasses at home wen his babies were tiny. He rubs his eyes frequently like are strained or tired... Sometimes dark circles under his eyes..( Not enuf sleep?)
He didn't care, he was ready to make rock n roll a legitimate art form by infusing it with folk and literary elements. He's the one and only Bob fucking Dylan.
He did drugs in the 60's, but he was not always high. I don't see why many claim he's on drugs any time he acts the slightest bit odd or tired. He was incredibly exhausted during these tours too. Waaayyy overworked.
+Jessica Sutton yeah.......which explains the amphetamines to keep him going! This isn't purely exhaustion peeps. Love the guy, so not judging. His use tho is pretty well documented.
Scott M they all were. Ricky is clearly off his face just like in every other single piece of footage he's even been caught on and Robbie is high on himself as usual
The very first scene, (rag back to 0.00), is Queen Street Station, here in Glasgow. The station hotel, where Dylan may have been staying, is shown also. Bit of trivia =)
Dylan, like the Beatles, forged a new direction for himself. His audience from the early sixties saw him as their ambassador and poet laureate for their generation. They were hypercritical of his desire to explore new avenues, i. e. electric. Unlike the Beatles, he was a solo performer waging war against the establishment.
I loved it in "No Direction Home" when they said the crowd boo'd all the electric sings until "Like A Rolling Stone" then they cheered. Dr. Zimmerman did whatever the fuck he wanted to. Beyond the great music, that's what is the best about him, imho.
I have something to say here. Of some significance, because I have lived through this all. I own a copy of Dylan's first release after he got his first contract. Few of you can remember that. I still have the original album cover.
I read a particularly generous review of one of those shows, summed the Zim up in five words, "Good, but not that good " he ain't the only one. Guitar Dave.
Think he was talking about the Minneapolis Auditorium Sept '66 . The first half was acoustic the second half was electric, with his band....and "Hi way 61".. the college set of the folkies got up but we rock and roll lovers moved up and took their seats...
The booers suposedly went for the music from the person they loved he was the one doing the music. So he presents various changes and improvments such as electric and they quickly disown him. That is because they loved themselves not the man making the music. Another one that got a bad rap was people hated Yoko and refused to accept she was Lennons choice and respect it. Just a couple examples of how fans start to think they OWN the person for themselves instead of fans enjoying what the artist does.
for those of you saying "he's not high," Dylan is beyond stoned in this video. look how he giggles and shakes a bit, not to mention that his eyes look a bit weary and he keeps rubbing them, not to mention they're red
I like the way he boos
+Julian Slezack THAT WAS A TERRIBLE JOKE, THANK YOU
I hate it
Me too. Even his boo’s are cool af. Like the way he calls Richard over the mic when he’s sat at a piano in a soundcheck somewhere. He’s the epitome of cool
It’s like if a ghost was a jazz singer from the 1920s
Yeah like a stoner. Ha
Even his look is timeless as his music.
bloody gorgeous. He's eminently doable. I'd begin with that hair and work my way down.
It may be because he doesnt do his hair.
He does look kind of like an eboy 😅
nah mgmt that had that look were outdated even in 2008

nikkiejanee1972 Instead of being at ease as his natural self like Danko, Robertson has to "act" cool. He's a poser.
+nikkiejanee1972 arrogant guy, robertson.
+nikkiejanee1972 bob dylan is a fraud who got all of his songs written for him, he was picked out of a lineup
that is how "stars" are made,, it's all scientific at the top, theres many levels to this matrix, the beauty of it is most people don't know their in it, think it's all quite natural, thats the
beauty of perfect propaganda and indoctrination.
in the music industry the one's higher up are all experienced in the sciences of sound, and the manipulation of the human mind
of particular types of sound, the effects, the emotional effects it has on people, and also the words,
the combination of words, which can have almost a magical impact on young people,
who parrot generally the choruses and they vaguelly understand or remember consiously some of the
main verses but the subconscious really listens carefully and retains these sublimiinal you might say almost in
the background verses,and they actually act upon it, program them to act out, and they start to change their speech
they'l copy the little words, neologisms they call it, for new words, they start to mimic them and don't know where it came
from, they don't question anything, they had meetings in 1904 on this very topic, international meetings on
the use of music, one guy from new york who was experimenting with a new type what became really jazz, not
dixy land jazz, but the more discordant type jazz, and he was kidnapped eventually after the russian revolution
taken over there because the russians knew the significance of music on the minds of the youth, and they worked
heavily on this, they came out with the beatnik erra, that was a communist invention where they would associate a
particular dress code type of music, and the use of marijuana for the west, and uses kind of discordant music which
puts you into almost a hypnotic state where nothing really mattered, anything would go, and it took off very well in Europe
but didn't quite make it for the us and canada, so they had to go back and revamp it and turn out pop music,
now guys like matin who worked with the beetles was really a scientist in acoustics, and how it
manipulated the mind, if you listen carefully to the types of arrangements and so on that were done in that early music
it was definitely done not by backstreet musicians, or three cord wonders but people who really knew their stuff
and how to get particular types of emotions attached to the words they were putting out, because when you have an
emotive attachment to the wording itself it imprints itself on the mind and brain, and you will never forget it,
it will affect your personality infact.
this was done along time ago, they called it the sequencing of music trends, where they would come out with pop, and rock,
again all masonic terms, then heavy metal referring to a sword, and on went right down to rap, to wrap things up, and the
judge of course and the masons hit the gavel, so these are all masonic terms for a sequence, and during the late 80's
wen they were creating massive unemployment they wanted a nihilistic generation, so they came out with it, basically what was, before
they gave the word "metrosexual male" suddenly all the groups were metrosexual in this whaling music, sort of lost music,
which was very depressing, it was meant to put them in a state of depression, i've been present when very older people who were
professionals pick out people from a lineup, who their all looking for a job as a musician, or a group, and their picked, you, you, you
and you, at the right size, the right weight and all the rest of it,the right looks, your now a group called so and so, you may
sing 3 hits in a row and here's the songs, you get well payed you don't tell anybody about it, this is a setup, and they
just act out their six months or a year in the hit parade, and then they disappear, you wouldn't believe the business behind it
all at the top, and it's not done just by business people at the top, i've seen how they picked the top ten, top 20's,
in britain at the bbc, and these were people with preda suits, woman and men in their 50's sometimes 60's had no
interest obviously in the particular music, except for the psychological effects, and the social conditioning
that they put threw, and they were picking what songs, all media in britain was gonna push as number 1
right up to 20, so this is how it really really is, it's all scientific, i met one guy who was one of the top rap groups
he went through the drug scene, the whole thing and almost killed himself and then he left it, and he did get religion
which helps allot of people who are addicted to substances and so on, but he said the same thing "we walked into the studio
for the first time with an average song" girls boys all that kind of stuff, at the time he left the studio and was recorded it was
kill cops and all this kind of stuff, completely changed.

After that meeting, Bob started to go more electric with a full band, and the Beatles started doing albums like Revolver and Rubber soul :D They both took each others comments to heart, and in the end they matured into what legends we know and love today!
Poor Bob even when he was being booed he never gave up
who cares.
Love seeing The Band just chilling with Dylan.
I love him holy shit.
Dylan did what he wanted, no matter what. Dylan had the balls to stand up and do it his way. Always!!
hamster ...
And to this day he’s still a fucking legend. I had the greatest opportunity to see him live on the front row last month and he was absolutely incredible ❤️
Bob Dylan is so handsome 😍😍😍
@MichaelBallack91 Yeah, his backing group for this tour was The Hawks, which later turned into The Band
This is such a great clip. My nephew's named after Bob Dylan but I swear they have so many similarities. It's eerie
If some people didn't stay with him at this time, and a lot of people walked out the way it was, we may not have the Bob dylan we know and love today.
The most charming person if I ever see❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You cant break down a legend with some boos
This man influenced jimi hendrix
Reading 'Testimony' by Robbie Robertson, right now. It's interesting to hear Dylan talking about the audience during his tenure with The Hawks' and also to see Robbie sitting there, shoegazing. I recommend it.
Lol the way he boos. God i love him
One minute video clips taken from movie with ads. Pretty slick! 👍🏼
He's so sweet & very precious at this age..very innocent.. looks So young. Later pics showed him wearing glasses at home wen his babies were tiny. He rubs his eyes frequently like are strained or tired... Sometimes dark circles under his eyes..( Not enuf sleep?)
He didn't care, he was ready to make rock n roll a legitimate art form by infusing it with folk and literary elements. He's the one and only Bob fucking Dylan.
I like the way he is rocking. It is soothing.
It’s from the drugs .
@@classygary indeed. Telltale amphetamine side effect
He looked about ready to cry at the end of it.
Yes, I think we all want him and some of what he's having!
Those Dexadrine seemed to be incredibly potent.
Dylan must have been high as Hell lmao
He wasn't always high. Fame has a way of wearing on you.
He did drugs in the 60's, but he was not always high. I don't see why many claim he's on drugs any time he acts the slightest bit odd or tired. He was incredibly exhausted during these tours too. Waaayyy overworked.
+Echo E. Yep-wasn't stoned...just extremely burnt out at this point in his career.
+Jessica Sutton yeah.......which explains the amphetamines to keep him going! This isn't purely exhaustion peeps. Love the guy, so not judging. His use tho is pretty well documented.
+musa atwood Why would you say that? He seems fine to me.
he was constantly wasted ..
Scott M they all were. Ricky is clearly off his face just like in every other single piece of footage he's even been caught on and Robbie is high on himself as usual
Everybody Must Get Stoned
Maybe we should follow his lead, man
He saw a newspaper in Liverpool that lied and said "everybody walked out" could be any paper but i’m going to assume "The Sun".
The very first scene, (rag back to 0.00), is Queen Street Station, here in Glasgow. The station hotel, where Dylan may have been staying, is shown also. Bit of trivia =)
I'm blessed to have the same birthday as this man
"everybody walked out... I'm gonna walk out " :)
I remember this
happy birthday bob! thank you so much for everything.
Dylan, like the Beatles, forged a new direction for himself. His audience from the early sixties saw him as their ambassador and poet laureate for their generation. They were hypercritical of his desire to explore new avenues, i. e. electric. Unlike the Beatles, he was a solo performer waging war against the establishment.
I love him so much aw
it's too heartbreaking :(
he was hot as hell
He was 25 years old here.
I would’ve given anything to hang out with young Dylan.
Dylan is a genius.Period.
I loved it in "No Direction Home" when they said the crowd boo'd all the electric sings until "Like A Rolling Stone" then they cheered. Dr. Zimmerman did whatever the fuck he wanted to. Beyond the great music, that's what is the best about him, imho.
I feel like i knew this guy in highschool... and now hes somewhere strumming along in a mobile home.
Yo hubiera deseado estar en ese concierto fue tan genial :'c
Total boss
Gotta love bob.
I have something to say here.
Of some significance, because I have lived through this all.
I own a copy of Dylan's first release after he got his first contract.
Few of you can remember that.
I still have the original album cover.
I read a particularly generous review of one of those shows, summed the Zim up in five words,
"Good, but not that good " he ain't the only one.
Guitar Dave.
Think he was talking about the Minneapolis Auditorium Sept '66 . The first half was acoustic the second half was electric, with his band....and "Hi way 61".. the college set of the folkies got up but we rock and roll lovers moved up and took their seats...
The booers suposedly went for the music from the person they loved he was the one doing the music. So he presents various changes and improvments such as electric and they quickly disown him. That is because they loved themselves not the man making the music. Another one that got a bad rap was people hated Yoko and refused to accept she was Lennons choice and respect it. Just a couple examples of how fans start to think they OWN the person for themselves instead of fans enjoying what the artist does.
Good point
for those of you saying "he's not high,"
Dylan is beyond stoned in this video.
look how he giggles and shakes a bit, not to mention that his eyes look a bit weary and he keeps rubbing them, not to mention they're red
Dylan was rarely sober throughout the '60's, something he himself has admitted
and glazed
he's wasted and needs a few hours' sleep
it was a different time
Bob has admitted he was actually taking Heroin during this time, something he kept secret for years
I'm pretty straight. I think... but i gotta say he looks so great here.
