Bob Dylan packs more into one song than most artists put in an entire album. Draw a straight line from "Ballad of a Thin Man" to this song, "My Own Version of You"
'My Own Version Of You' is given a terrific, atmospheric, vocal here by Dylan. It is storytelling and phrasing done with great skill and swag. It is a privilege to watch/hear this. On the top of his game, as he is here, Dylan's command and attack is matchless.
Wow! It might be the lighting but that demonic grin makes him look like a deranged scientist! Perfect rendition of a very unique song from his catalogue.
Thanks. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. And yes, it’s incredible the way he’s performing. I’ve seen Bob in concert over 200 times including 5 fall 1975 Rolling Thunder shows. And I can truly say that out of all those shows, the one I saw in 2019 at the Beacon and the four I just saw from this tour are among the 6 to 10 best I’ve ever seen. For an artist his age not only to be still touring, but actually still growing and getting even better in some ways, and still exploring new territory is absolutely amazing, thrilling, and such a wonderful inspiration’
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Being able to share these bits of Bob’s incredible performances with fellow fans, and knowing they’ll be there for others in the future is what makes the effort worthwhile.

YEAH IT'S BOB DYLAN !! -That's all I have, or need, to say. (Y'know exACTly what I mean.) Thanks Bob for this great stuff, OH yeah! (Liberace'd be honored ;+} )
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video. But I have to tell you, although people keep claiming Dylan said “shut up.” that is absolutely NOT what he said. I was there, obviously. I had trouble understanding exactly what he said at the time and what it meant. I watched the video at least 20-30 times while editing it, and it was exactly as I heard it that night. I can’t for the life of me, in fact, figure out how anyone can listen to it and think it sounds like “shut up!” It’s 1 syllable, not 2. There’s no T sound and no P sound. What Dylan clearly says/sings is a long drawn- out, ironic “Sure…”. As when someone tells you they’re going to do something you don’t believe is possible, and you respond, “Oh, sure you will!” Which is exactly what Dylan’s doing here. He just sang that he’s going to bring his experiment to life “with decency and common sense.”. Then wryly comments “Sure…”. laughing at the idea that anyone could think that trying to re-animate an assemblage of dead body parts into a living version of someone they love who’s gone, could EVER be considered a common sense thing to do. I don’t know who firdt misheard Dylan’s sly, funny ad lib as “shut up,” but to quote another Bob lyric, they were “way wrong.” But apparently the idea’s been passed around and become “common lore” and as far as I can tell, everyone who agrees now is just listening to what other people have told them rather to their own ears. Check out the first guitarist’s reaction as he notices Bob’s jokey comment on his own lyric, laughs and nods to Bob, then tries to catch the other guitarist’s eye to check if he caught it, too. I doubt he would have been so tickled by Bob’s addition to the song if he’d just said “shut up.” Last point, whatever you want to believe he actually said, he didn’t say it at all in the same way that Little Richard used to humorously shout “Shut up!” And Bob was a big fan of later friend to Little Richard. If he were imitating LR’s famous “Shut up!” , Bob could have done it a lot better than this.
Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. If you haven’t subscribed to my channel yet, please do, so you’ll receive notifications of new videos. I’ll be posting more from the tour over the coming weeks. 😁
Yesss, get a kick from this. It's a good example for that his songs come to life sung live. Soundtrack of a horror movie. Merry Christmas, dear Arthur Artist!
Does anyone realize how many lyrics this guy has committed to memory? Thousands of lines, and his lyrics aren't exactly simple. This is one of the reasons for the Nobel, not just writing the songs but communicating them to listeners through recordings and the never-ending tour. I just noticed how someone in the crowd laughed at the line, "Mix it up in a tank, and get a robot commando"!
So glad to hear. And that you were there to enjoy it! How I wish I could have been there, too. (I’m SO greedy when it comes to seeing Dylan shows.) Like you said, It is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE the way he’s performing, still. In many ways, he’s better than he’s ever been. Different of course, but he’s adapted his performances so well to both the challenges and strengths of this period in life. His singing - the depth and detail he conveys seemingly effortlessly, and his apparent ease and complete mastery these days onstage is incredible. Having seen more than 200 concerts since 1974, I honestly think the 4 I saw last fall and the single one in 2019 are among the 10-12 of Dylan’s best performances I’ve seen out of all of them!
@@BobGymlan Absolute best for me, Bob, was the Fall 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue. I was lucky enough to be a sophomore at Brandeis Univ in Waltham, MA, that year, and managed to see 5 shows: opening night Oct 30 in Plymouth, MA from the 2nd row, 2 in Providence, RI, 1 in Worcester, MA, and finally a show almost at the end of the tour in my own Brandeis Univ gym, sitting on the floor about 15-20 feet from the stage. Every night was exciting, but the first night the air was electric inside the small community town hall where the show was held. No one in the audience had any idea what to expect, so it was one surprise after another. When, after all the opening acts, Bob finally came out, the audience was on fire, not just the musicians. One thing I treasure about being there for that first night is that it was the only one when Bob didn’t wear the face paint. He started that the next night which was Halloween, when he came out wearing a clear, plastic “Bob Dylan mask” and had applied to greasepaint to that. I wasn’t there for that one - just read about it. Every show of the fall tour after that, he wore the face paint. Apparently a lot of people don’t know that detail about the first night. I think my next favorite year for shows was 2001. I loved all the band line-ups that included Larry Campbell - such an amazing musician. The arrangements with Larry there tended to be more melodic. And I really enjoyed his performances of songs from Time Out of Mind and Love & Theft. 1992 and 1998 were also very good years for shows. Of course, I almost forgot to mention 2019 and 2021. Seeing Dylan now is a different experience than years ago. Of necessity he has to perform using the tools he has now, vs when he was younger. And I think he’s done an incredible job of adapting his approach to his present ablities. His singing is as good or better than ever - so clear, do detailed, so nuanced, so many shades of meaning and feeling. I can tell you the absolute worst year - 1991. Dylan seemed to be in a pretty bad state. The low point really started in fall 1990. If you watch his performance of “Tight Connection” from 1990, at the Beacon Theater, NY, here on my channel, I think you’ll see what I mean. Still, even when Bob was clearly not at his best then and through most of 1991, there were always plenty of great moments in every show.
@@admiralbillom7559 Interesting, thanks for mentioning it. There very well might be. Unfortunately, that movie came out late enough that’s it’s already within the period in my life when I can no longer remember everything with as much detail and clarity as I can things I experienced or encountered when I was younger. Sigh. 😕. When I was a kid, I used to think it a bit strange and disappointing that you can’t remember every single minute of your life. Now I feel lucky if I can remember today much of what I was thinking and talking about yesterday! 🙄
Instead of spotlights or other typical stagelighting, nearly all the light on stage was provided by light panels that made up the floor. It was an interesting effect - with everyone on stage mainly lit from below. Because Bob spent most of his time seated or standing at the piano, which blocked much of the light beneath his position, he was geberally the least well-lit person onstage, often in shadow when other band members were pretty brightly lit. But you’re right, it was very atmospheric and made for some striking visuals, esp. when the lights weren’t especially low as they were during Black Rider. A video of that performance can also be seen here along with several more from the Beacon the same night.
Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Knowing other people appreciate the effort and most of all enjoy watching the result is what makes the effort and the accompanying strain on my nerves worthwhile. 😅
@@Piggy-Oink-Oink OK! I have it and since you’re requesting it I’ll get to it soon - right after I finish one song ahead of it I’m currently working on. It takes a little time to polish up the footage to provide the best quality I can, one song at a time. 😁
I sure hope your prayer is answered. Meanwhile keep checking back - or better yet subscribe to the channel if you haven’t yet so you’ll get notices when new videos are posted, because I’ll be adding more clips from the 2121 tour over the next few weeks. 🥰
I think it was a humorous bit of commentary on the line he sang right before: “I’ll bring someone to life - spare no expense Do it with decency and common sense” I think it’s a kind of a sarcastic response, an aside expressing his disbelief at the idea he just expressed in the song: that trying to bring someone to life by assembling a bunch of dead body parts and sending electricity through them, Frankenstein-style, is something that could ever be described as being done “with common sense.” It’s just NOT a common-sense kind of thing to do. 😆 That’s how I heard it right away when he sang it that night. It struck me as such a funny little ad lib that it’s one on the few things I told my son about the concert when I got back home that night.
I was there that night filming obviously, so I had an excellent close-up view of his face and body language in the monitor, as well as being hyper-aware of everything going on in the audience (sustained hypervigilance is crucial to success) and I would bet everything I own that he was not responding to a member of the audience - and did not sayv”shut up.” But what I think clinches it itjat somewhere someone im these comments mentioned that he made the same joke at the same line at another concert. I don’t remember which city but my vague memory is somewhere out west - maybe Phoenix or somewhere else around that area. But I’m puzzled by your comment - why does it seem sad to you if he said, “Su-u-u-ure…?” It’s such a funny, dry, succinct little joke, that little aside! It fits right in with Dylan’s often very witty sense of humor. The joke is already kind of implicit in the line - he just brought it out explicitly. Anyway, it was so funny to me that it was the main detail I told my son about the show when I got back after it. Ben doesn’t like listening to Dylan -or much music at all - but in the last few years he’s begun to appreciate Dylan’s sense of humor, a great deal. He’s read some of Dylan’s lyrics and often quotes those he finds funny. He got and appreciated the joke right away, and it’s since become Ben’s most frequent Dylan quote and imitation. Whenever we encounter someone asserting anything that seems patently ridiculous, he always responds with that “Su-u-u-ure….” - and it’s still funny every time. What about this strikes you as sad?
Glad you like it! If you haven't yet, please subscribe to my channel so you'll get notified when new videos go up. I'll be posting a few more clips from 2021 in the next few weeks and I have a large collection of older Dylan concert videos that will be coming as well.
Not sure what you mean. I’d call it the famous “Sure…” version. For how Bob after he sings “Do it with decency and common sense,” ad libs a sarcastic, “Sure.”. It cracks up one of the guitarists who smiles at Bob, then tries to catch the eye of the other guitarist to see if he caught the joke.
Wouldn’t that be true of around half of Bob’s live performances at least - if you heard them anonymously at a Holiday Inn in Arkansas? Or lots of others?
-largerly impressions make a new mix, see how they stand to each others is it for laughters or for tears? take a walk along the canal when nothing but old oaks sobbing for you the endless autopilote in your legs and your forever walking blues of shoes, if your mind only wish to disgrace you or won't help you, your body will pull you through and the innocense contacts with the stars will fall upon you. god knows where a poetry comes from but never turn away the offer
He said, “Sure…”. I was there (filming), I heard him say it and cracked up at his sly little aside. It was so funny that I made a point of mentioning it to my 22-year-old son as soon as I got back from the show. Ben doesn’t like Dylan’s singing and really doesn’t care to listen to much music, period. But in the last few years he’s begun to like Dylan’s sense of humor a lot. He thought it was very funny and still repeats it in all kinds of applicable situations - whenever anyone is asserting something questionable, Ben will say in his “Dylan impression” voice: Sure…
He wrote the lyrics when he was a Sophomore in High School. It's true ... Well, it's s not true but it could be because this song is drivel and doggerel. I know disagree, but as I'm as huge a Dylan fan as you, no need to hate me for having an opinion.
I certainly don’t hate you for having an opinion. We all have them…maybe you know the rest of that saying? I couldn’t disagree more but there’s no point trying to argue something like this logically. I love the song because it fascinates me and for me is also veru affecting. I’m emotionallt moved by it. Like so many of Dylan’s songs, there’s a lot of tangentially connected free association going on. Maybe all you hear is nonsense. For me the various elements combine to make one powerful whole. I also get a kick out of the song’s nostalgic connection for me to all those old Universal horror movies I watched voraciously as a kid on Saturday night TV’s “Creature Features.” That you don’t like the song makes me feel more sorry for you than angry. Kind of like the way I feel about people who say they like to drive but don’t understand why I only choose to drive exclusively stick shifts. I think they’re missing out on one of the great pleasures of life - but to each their own That you apparentky loathe this song but are a huge Dylan fan does make me curious about which songs of his you really like a lot and which others you might think suck. How do you feel about “Mozambique?” “Visions of Johanna?” “From a Buick 6?”. How about the albums “Love and Theft” and “Modern Times?” What about the other songs on “Rough and Rowdy Ways?” Is it just this one particular song that strikes you as so worthless, or do many of Bob’s songs with similar style lyrics also strike you as drivel and doggerel as well? If that’s the case, I wonder how you’d rate your own inductive vs deductive reasoning abilities. Just curious.
Bob Dylan packs more into one song than most artists put in an entire album. Draw a straight line from "Ballad of a Thin Man" to this song, "My Own Version of You"
1000 mr Jones’
Nasty nasty songs 👏
Greatest song and dance man ever.
'My Own Version Of You' is given a terrific, atmospheric, vocal here by Dylan. It is storytelling and phrasing done with great skill and swag. It is a privilege to watch/hear this. On the top of his game, as he is here, Dylan's command and attack is matchless.
You could not possibly be more correct Sir !!!!! Thank you for having excellent taste.

Lol has a Spooky feeel to It. Very FUN! "U Know XACTLY Wat I MEAN!" "U Won't have t KNOCK" "Decency & COMMON SENSE!"
Magnifico Songo clipo
🌸🧡🧡🌸
my words🥳
Now I know why the guitarist stay behind Bob... And here Bob doesn't sing... He does an oration... And I follow loving him...
I took a girl to the concert. She said, "Hands off, Columbus--you discovered enough already!!"
I wonder what was said that he responded with “sure.”
I think it was a humorous bit of commentary on the line he sang right before:
“I’ll bring someone to life - spare no expense
Do it with decency and common sense”
I think it’s a kind of a sarcastic response, an aside expressing his disbelief at the idea he just expressed in the song: that trying to bring someone to life by assembling a bunch of dead body parts and sending electricity through them, Frankenstein-style, is something that could ever be described as being done “with common sense.” It’s just NOT a common-sense kind of thing to do. 😆

But what I think clinches it itjat somewhere someone im these comments mentioned that he made the same joke at the same line at another concert. I don’t remember which city but my vague memory is somewhere out west - maybe Phoenix or somewhere else around that area.
But I’m puzzled by your comment - why does it seem sad to you if he said, “Su-u-u-ure…?”
It’s such a funny, dry, succinct little joke, that little aside! It fits right in with Dylan’s often very witty sense of humor. The joke is already kind of implicit in the line - he just brought it out explicitly.
Anyway, it was so funny to me that it was the main detail I told my son about the show when I got back after it.
Ben doesn’t like listening to Dylan -or much music at all - but in the last few years he’s begun to appreciate Dylan’s sense of humor, a great deal. He’s read some of Dylan’s lyrics and often quotes those he finds funny.
He got and appreciated the joke right away, and it’s since become Ben’s most frequent Dylan quote and imitation.
Whenever we encounter someone asserting anything that seems patently ridiculous, he always responds with that “Su-u-u-ure….” - and it’s still funny every time.
What about this strikes you as sad?

thx frkn awesome
Glad you like it! If you haven't yet, please subscribe to my channel so you'll get notified when new videos go up. I'll be posting a few more clips from 2021 in the next few weeks and I have a large collection of older Dylan concert videos that will be coming as well.

Glad you enjoyed it
I am so in love.........just one hug and kiss...too much to ask I know.
Sure
when he puts his arm on the piano...
?
Right? He looks like a mad pastor up there. Great stuff!
Just recognised
this is the famous
SHUT UP version :-)
Not sure what you mean. I’d call it the famous “Sure…” version. For how Bob after he sings “Do it with decency and common sense,” ad libs a sarcastic, “Sure.”. It cracks up one of the guitarists who smiles at Bob, then tries to catch the eye of the other guitarist to see if he caught the joke.
@@ArturArtist Sounds like he's saying "shut up" in response to the person in the audience yelling.
@@lukpac It is undoubtedly "shut up".
@@whiskeycitydiggers Where in the song does he yell, “Shut up?”
Pretty sure he says shut up that I mentioned in another post.
God..
If you heard this act anonymously at a Holiday Inn in Arkansas you would be puzzled wondering what in the hell and probably go to your room.
Wouldn’t that be true of around half of Bob’s live performances at least - if you heard them anonymously at a Holiday Inn in Arkansas? Or lots of others?
-largerly impressions make a new mix, see how they stand to each others is it for laughters or for tears? take a walk along the canal when nothing but old oaks sobbing for you
the endless autopilote in your legs and your forever walking blues of shoes, if your mind only wish to disgrace you or won't help you, your body will pull you through and the innocense contacts with the stars will fall upon you. god knows where a poetry comes from but never turn away the offer
did he say sure enough or shut up?
He said, “Sure…”. I was there (filming), I heard him say it and cracked up at his sly little aside. It was so funny that I made a point of mentioning it to my 22-year-old son as soon as I got back from the show. Ben doesn’t like Dylan’s singing and really doesn’t care to listen to much music, period. But in the last few years he’s begun to like Dylan’s sense of humor a lot.
He thought it was very funny and still repeats it in all kinds of applicable situations - whenever anyone is asserting something questionable, Ben will say in his “Dylan impression” voice: Sure…
At first I thought it was about his political operative Joel Gilbert but Joel never studied Sanskrit
You're still doing your thing. Very cute.
He wrote the lyrics when he was a Sophomore in High School. It's true ... Well, it's s not true but it could be because this song is drivel and doggerel. I know disagree, but as I'm as huge a Dylan fan as you, no need to hate me for having an opinion.
I certainly don’t hate you for having an opinion. We all have them…maybe you know the rest of that saying?
I couldn’t disagree more but there’s no point trying to argue something like this logically. I love the song because it fascinates me and for me is also veru affecting. I’m emotionallt moved by it.
Like so many of Dylan’s songs, there’s a lot of tangentially connected free association going on. Maybe all you hear is nonsense. For me the various elements combine to make one powerful whole.
I also get a kick out of the song’s nostalgic connection for me to all those old Universal horror movies I watched voraciously as a kid on Saturday night TV’s “Creature Features.”
That you don’t like the song makes me feel more sorry for you than angry. Kind of like the way I feel about people who say they like to drive but don’t understand why I only choose to drive exclusively stick shifts. I think they’re missing out on one of the great pleasures of life - but to each their own
That you apparentky loathe this song but are a huge Dylan fan does make me curious about which songs of his you really like a lot and which others you might think suck.
How do you feel about “Mozambique?” “Visions of Johanna?” “From a Buick 6?”. How about the albums “Love and Theft” and “Modern Times?” What about the other songs on “Rough and Rowdy Ways?”
Is it just this one particular song that strikes you as so worthless, or do many of Bob’s songs with similar style lyrics also strike you as drivel and doggerel as well?
If that’s the case, I wonder how you’d rate your own inductive vs deductive reasoning abilities.
Just curious.
@@ArturArtist a shame you have not had a reply to this, it woulda been good to hear more from Anthony....
