This is a special Beautiful song especially love when Johnny Cash and Bob sang this song together ,being good friends was special ,complemented one another in a most unique and beautiful song one of my favorites
Oh my darling, music is huge connection and I see one another as family, I love diving in new waters and collaboration only makes me improve, I always want to put smiles on you'll face my wonderful lovers... And I hope I can do more for you. I love you❤
And I'm so happy I came across you my wonderful family, you'll have become more than just fans to me but my family, each time I'm down, I always see reasons to cheer up and come up with something beautiful for you... I love you❤
Ooh yea my friend, I tried to improve myself each time I got the chance to sing my melodic poetry, I just want to make you'll happy and I'm glad I'm doing that.... only if I could live forever 😂
This is a small section of a full length program which includes the rest of Bob's seminal songs... with good Canadian lumberjacks and miners hanging out in the bunk house.... smoking regular tabbacy, drinking Old Style Beer, and just enjoying!!!
The full length program is a jewel. Many old recognizable CBC faces. Wonderful performance by a very young man. But I always thought it was a home for the down and out, not a lumberjack or miner bunkhouse. Anybody know?
@@peterritchie2990 hardworking lumberjacks and miners back then, usually wound up on skid road ... I speak of my own Uncles and Dad's friends. Cheers...and yes, I too revere this performance.
@@jamesewanchook2276 I’m sure you’re right James. I used to work around Main and Hastings about 50 years ago in Vancouver. A lot of hard living lumber men there. Nevertheless this production is a gem - not well known but a gem. 👍
The setting marvelously re-creates the now almost vanished world of isolated crews of men - seamen, loggers, soldiers, railwaymen, miners, surveyors - that so many shared and served in for longer or shorter periods of their lives in centuries now gone by.
That was a time when folk was changing. It had been about singing the songs of the past, the folk memory. Bob Dylan showed it was about the present. He wrote his own folk songs. Although 'the Girl from the North Country' was, indeed, Dylan's song, 'Strawberry Fair' was Simon and Garfunkel's version of a traditional song. There are many examples of influence and sharing of words and lines from one folk singer to another. The songs of my youth; i was eleven at the beginning of the sixties.
I was 13 when this came out I first heard Dylan in 1964 "The Times They Are a-Changin' I am now 73 its been quite the ride but I got to see him perform twice. My how time goes by.
... same ... 50th birthday in Sydney ... playing cards to Bob Dylan in 1970 as Desolation Row played etc ... certainly part of my life ... now like you 73 ... and I also saw him twice ...
Thank you so much venetia, I also love you so much, you're one of the reason I keep it going and I hope I thrill you more as I get the chance to... You're wonderful and amazing, I love you from the moon to the back❤
Still serving Someone , still giving his self to You, still riffing off his best poetry and taking it into an old country with a new generation. Let those lyrics play in your imagination and go forth with truth, beauty, love, kindness snd courage. It's your world now. We did our best but must have taken a wrong turn. Make sure you learn from our mistakes. Connect locally while staying observant. Justice & peace is always the dream.
Simply stated, he is beyond words in his impact in a positive uplifting way on humanity, even as our “sense of humanity has gone down the drain”. That’s the genius: To shine light through the darkness, universally.
"She once was a true love of mine" the line is in Girl From The North country. The same line is in Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel. I pointed this out to Bob Johnston. He said only I would notice that because I'm a Wordsmith. I saw the studio logs from Nashville Skyline. Every song on that album was done on the first take except for two which were done on the second take. I told Johnston that Dylan was so good that anybody could have recorded him. Johnston said to me " I did it and I didn't fuck it up." I said "Oh my God that's the perfect answer." We both started laughing because it's the truth. To capture the artist and let the artist be themselves is what recording is all about. Bob Johnston recorded Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel and did a good job with both of them.
@@martinamanecke3622They took credit for the arrangement, which is superb. McGuinn did that with some older trad songs too, it was a common thing to do, and a way for the artist to get paid. 😊
Martin Carthy did eventually get paid by Paul Simon, after many years of confusion and failures to communicate. Dylan lifted much less of Scarborough Fair, and I don't think Carthy ever had an issue with him.@gudlisner501
I don't remember seeing many, if any, other videos of him finger-picking. This song is not far from "Don't Think Twice" and the mystery of who played the finger picked guitar on it.
I have more beautiful songs to sing in Canada and every part of the world... We are a global family and we can be heard from every corners of the earth❤
And with Dylan finger-picking, which I don't think I've ever seen a clip of him doing until this. "A gem," as some of your responders have written. Do you know where it was shot? Many thanks!
Footage with very bright image definition. *Have you* the possibility to also put the footage of *all the other songs* sung by Dylan on Canadian TV (Feb. 1964) ? On RUclips with the same excellent definition ? It would be a "Heart Lifting"
When does it with Johnny cash I think it’s the greatest song of all time to different musicians and they made the perfect song together. Him and Johnny Cash are very very good together. They were actually great music now all this crap on the radio. There’s no good music out there anymore.
I think anyone always has the 'they were true love of mine' ❤love is undying even if it smooths out......also side note this looks like rocky training in Soviet russia😅
[Verse 1] If you’re travelin' in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine [Verse 2] If you go when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see she has a coat so warm To keep her from the howling winds [Verse 3] Please see if her hair hangs long If it rolls and flows all down her breast Please see for me if her hair's hangin' long For that’s the way I remember her best [Verse 4] I’m a-wondering if she remembers me at all Many times I’ve often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day
Lovely "cabin-bound" acoustic performance, with Dylan at 23....!!!..... And later revived in a very soulful version with Johnny Cash five years later on the 1969 release of the *_'Nashville Skyline'_* LP.....👌 👉 ruclips.net/video/Je4Eg77YSSA/видео.html ☮
my guess the north country fair is either the canadian national exhibition or more likely the Royal winter fair did hang in TO a lot ....... does mention winter
I know purists will differ but this is not nearly as good as his remake on Nashville Skyline. And Dylan's voice was so much better but it's the production that suffers here.
Miming? Well in that case he's the world's best mimic. If Bob's pulling off this level of mime as a kid back in '64... then even more props to the 'Dyl'.. However... this is only a small segment of a 30 minute program of Bob serenading a CBC Bunkhouse full of miners and loggers... Notable is that 23 year old Bob is so poised and professional and handling the pressure or live TV. ... that's amazing and unheard of today! ] Cheers from Vancouver!
Hmmm…. I think not! I don’t think it possible to lip sync and bilaterally finger sync to this level; every word and note is minutely accurate. Also, I’ve never seen or heard of any suggestion that Dylan ever mimed; he seems to have always been a bit of a purist. This is a live performance!

My favorite Dylan song. And I love many of them.
Same
My husband loved this song. He died last year. We used to listen to it through the sixties. Thank you
I played his Free wheelin LP throughout my youth. Still have it. Great artist. Thanks for posting this
Beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Thank you also for listening and loving me, you're a rare gem and I'm glad to call you a member of the family. I love you❤
60 year old video ....timeless>>>>>>>>>>>.
A world treasure. So fortunate to have grown up with his song from the earliest days to the present. Thank you, Bob Dylan.
Thank you so much for listening to me, you made me do better each time I held unto the mic... I love you❤

So glad I came across this timeless jewel. 💖
And I'm so happy I came across you my wonderful family, you'll have become more than just fans to me but my family, each time I'm down, I always see reasons to cheer up and come up with something beautiful for you... I love you❤
Such an early Dylan performance. A gift.
The greatest singer ever, even if he had never written a word. IMO.
The greatest poet even if never sang a word
Imo😊
This song is so, so good. Hits perfectly. One of his absolute best and that is saying something for Bob.
*_When you're in the presence of utter greatness ..._*
Incredibly rendered live...guitar, harmonica and wonderfully restrained vocal. Wow.
I was teenager in that year and grew up listening to Bob ,,so pleased to have been in that era
I wish I would be young forever so I can thrill your old age too and your children's children... Thank you Liz for your kind words❤
At 22, Bob's already improved his skills on the fret-board. Makes this fan proud to be a Minn. native.
Ooh yea my friend, I tried to improve myself each time I got the chance to sing my melodic poetry, I just want to make you'll happy and I'm glad I'm doing that.... only if I could live forever 😂

The Beatles just exploded in America...wow, the times really were a changin'!
And just about 3 months earlier, JFK’s head had exploded. The times were indeed a changin.
Being from Minnesota, this is a favorite of mine.
We are the stars of the North, it's a a great thing to be from a great place. I love you❤
Dylan, you are awesome 😊
You're also amazing, this means the world to me, thank you so much for loving and showing me all the care and affection in the world ❤

Although Simon & Garfunkel claimed "Scarborough Fair" to be their creation, it is an old traditional.

this was a Torronto CBC production, I wonder who the men in the background were. Dylan is fantastic.

1964? Not familiar with that TV show Quest but the song was first released in 69, I think. Nonetheless a beautiful film really. Thank you for that.

[Verse 1]
If you’re travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine
[Verse 2]
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling winds
[Verse 3]
Please see if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair's hangin' long
For that’s the way I remember her best
[Verse 4]
I’m a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times I’ve often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day

I didny know he could fingerpick guitar, i always thought joan baez did the fingerpicking stuff for him.
Supposedly based on a traditional English song, maybe Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme??!!
You should check out Roy Harper his version was taken from the original folk song English I think!
Simon & Garfunkel came after Zimmerman.
I know purists will differ but this is not nearly as good as his remake on Nashville Skyline. And Dylan's voice was so much better but it's the production that suffers here.
Dosn't matter.
