  • Here's an interesting morsel of footage for all you Dylanites. This was filmed in the breakroom of an unknown venue somewhere along Dylan's 1965 tour of England. Another sequence of Dylan playing piano at another venue was famously used in the final cut of "Don't Look Back" (14:25 in this video: • All of Bob Dylan's per... ) but this sequence was banished to the outtake reel. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy a few months back. Here is the alternate piano scene! Enjoy this gem while you can.

    For so many reasons, this is extremely peaceful. Just how his voice drones in and out and the piano plays a somber but relaxed tone; almost reminds me of something alike to a daydream. Much thanks, Swingin' Pig.

    Brilliant stuff. I've always found it remarkable when he just feels around for a song and plucks it out of the aether. "I'm Not There" is probably the most well-known instance of him doing this, just finding the basic melody and tone and using nonsense filler lyrics.

      See also (and on piano) Patty Gone to Laredo, a 1975 song he works out with dummy lyrics then drops for ever.

      Not every kid grew up to be Dylan, or Lennon, or McCartney, obviously, or Starr, even - but a lot more kids in the 1950s were forced to learn piano, I suspect.

    Wow this is like Xmas! I don't know how I missed this video but I sometimes do and when I discover it or stumble on it it really is the best surprise! I really love these fly on the wall backstage clips a lot, it's like peeking into the past at someone's private little moment. In this case Dylan appears to be in some kind of zone just playing around on the piano possibly in the midst of a song being born.
    Thanks Swinging!!!

    This could be (only could be) at the Backstage Town Hall (Birminghan ) before concert ... Why ? Well I suposse that the woman is on the background is Marianne Faithfull who in that time was with Dylan . And the song , well when i've heard for first time only came in my mind I'll Keep it With Mine (acoustic version ) ... but a good friend of mine (another Dylan crazy fan) that is here with me say that I'm old and my ears are overdubbed with thousand melodies thru the years .... maybe he's right

    • @stephenlee1756
      @stephenlee1756 4 года назад +3

      It does have the same feel as I'll keep it with mine, but I think it's another song he's just trying to pin down. Sometimes he is in a different world from the rest of us, and that is where the songs come from.

    • @debbyledbetter4434
      @debbyledbetter4434 4 года назад +2

      "I'll Keep it With Mine" is what I thought too...I agree with your ears, or my ears do...even, hearing again sounds like a combin. of several songs, making it feel even better than first listen

    • @froggystardust7406
      @froggystardust7406 4 года назад +2

      The woman in the clip isn't Marianne Faithfull, it's Jones Alk. She's recording the sound. Also seen in Don't Look Back, notably sitting next to Dylan during the interview with the Time magazine reporter ("You've got a lot of nerve asking me a question like that. Do you ask the Beatles that?")

    It sounds similar to Ricky Nelsons "Garden Party" which mentions Dylan. I know they both really admired each other. Perhaps Dylan gave him the melody since he never used it.
