When this song was released the nation was in the middle of a civil rights struggle and poised to begin a Viet Nam war struggle. I was in college and I remember that the first time I heard "Your sons and your daughters, they're beyond your command" a cold chill came over me and for the first time I identified with a Movement. Now I am way beyond being a parent with offspring beyond my command, I am a grandad and old school in most things but with a still-strong belief in individual freedom. The circle goes 'round and 'round....
In in the same boat. I enlisted in the Air Force as a medic to avoid the army. I had four sons. I told them if they ever enlisted in the army I’d shoot them in the foot, that I had served during Vietnam, I knew about war, kids don’t, and I wasn’t going to risk them finding out. Luckily for me they were never predisposed toward the juvenile lure of killing people for their country. Not one war since WWII has either been justified or won. Never fight a war against people who don’t have a mortgage and car payments.
Great job! I am a 73 year old woman, and was just this morning thinking of this song as an apt expression of what is happening now, in 2020. I remember when Bob Dylan came out with this song as a young man. I also lived through the 1968 riots in Detroit, and the incidents at Kent State University. I see a lot of similarities to what is happening today. That you, as young people, would pick up this 53-year-old song has made me feel more relevant in today's world. I am going to play it on my front porch for the neighbors tonight. Thank you!
And more so, it's just a prelude of what's to come next. Look at the East. War is upon us. I really do hope I am not right but Putin could turn out to be The Third Anti-Christ of which the prophesies have foretold us long ago by Nostradamus. And if it's true it's gonna be bad...for everyone. I was listening to ''Eve of Destruction'' just the other day and well...we are standing on the edge of the end of civilization if Putin gets his way. He will destroy everything in his hunger for power.
The similarities of back in the 60's and today are that back then the young thought they were protesting evil and fighting for freedom and civil rights but they didn't know that they were actually pawns and manipulated by old politicians to do their bidding to control the masses. Today is no different, my young generation think they're protesting evil and fighting for freedom and civil rights but we too are just pawns and manipulated by old politicians to do their bidding to control the masses. I'm going to quote Snake Plissken "The more things change, the more they stay the same".
I want to thank you both so very much for Sharing this Anthem written 54 years ago by Bob Dylan! It is so Poignant today in 2024 where our National Elections are now just 10 days away! I Vote 🗳️ for DEMOCRACY! Yes these times they are a Changin! Let’s make this Globe 🌎 that we ALL call HOME be one together and of these Changin times come shining through! We are ALL RELATED to each other! Neal from Boston,Ma. USA
I've been listening to this cover since I was in high school. Coming back to this in 2024 when I'm 23 and it hits just the same. You've inspired me to listen to Leo Kottke and Nick Drake. Thank you for doing what you do Josh!
@David Wang jesus christ. the whole point of music is that it means something to different to different people. if this is what he thinks is the best, then that’s opinion and just as valid as yours.
Sitting here three years later and still in awe of this masterful interpretation of this masterful matching of lyric and melody. One of the greatest recordings of all time in my opinion.
More Bob covers please. We need young guys like you to teach the younger generation just how damn good Dylan was. Too many people don't even know who he is these days and thats a shame. There was a time Bob was bigger than the Beatles! These younger kids need to hear this mans words
It’s 3.25 am Central Ontario 🇨🇦 ‘Sposed to be sleeping.. flipping through RUclips and I can never pass you guys by,without listening..like many I’m a huge Dylan fan...This recording rocks..and takes me back to a time when music mattered.. Thank-you,the torch has been passed 🇨🇦
The solo that Josh does makes this song thrilling as ever before! Its great to witness a new talented generation that makes these songs young and alive again!
I can't stop listening to your covers. I've been stuck in the repetitive classic music like The Beatles, Johnny Cash, The Clash and more, but now I've realised there is hope for our generation.
@David Wang then you must think Dylan doesn't get himself too cause he has sung versions similar to this one and others so different you probably think heretic to the original. If you don't know that then you must not know anything about Dylan.
THIS is the full potential of Dylan's beautifully written lyrics. Superior arranging, musicianship and singing makes this the very best rendition of a true classic.
They sound like S&G B4 they got tired of each other. I just seen Josh & Carson in Portland, Maine last night and the smiles and joy in performing are there. Wonderful to see and hear.
@David Wang Well, I have heard Bob himself play it pretty close to this version, as you know he always changes his versions to keep it interesting, for himself and for the crowd. And I wouldn't call this "swing".
By far the best version. That harmony cuts through and is absolutely superb, should have been on the original record. Plus, the energy is palpable and adding a solo really gives it life.
Wonderful! You two sure know how to stir up memories for us baby boomers who have been protesting against war and injustice basically all of our lives!
I've lost count of how many times I've heard this cover. Hits me like a hammer every time. Straight out fantastic, the lead vocals, the changing backing vocal and great guitar work!
These guys are amazing, as always. Musicians' musicians. Rare, rare talent - spontaneous and exciting collaboration. Spectacular and authentic performance of this classic, faithful to Dylan, especially the extra bars in the extended phrases which Dylan wrote, but some don't sing. Brilliant, guys! You two were made for each other.
I always kind of liked Dylan, but I was never really sure what he was singing. Now I can finally hear and fully appreciate the lyrics. Maybe he deserved that Nobel price after all. Please do more Dylan. 👍
Far better than the original. You two have been blessed with such gifts. Musicality, humour, seriousness when needed, and talents far beyond your years. Thank you both for sharing your gifts with us, those who will never equal nor surpass you, though our souls will never forget the joyfulness and absolute seriousness of the times that did indeed change. We were with you in ways you couldn’t imagine. As grandparents we pray for our own boys, over 4,000 who didn’t come home from Vietnam again.✌️💕
@@audreyorissapaley-omelchuk6919 Silly comment - you don't really know what to say do you? Can you tell me whether all the chords these two jokers played are correct? And where did your surname come from?
You guys are carrying the Torch for the new generation. Thank you for loving these old but still amazing songs, and for bringing them back to life with class.
@David Wang the war between Light and Darkness has gone on since the beginning of Time itself. Don't lose hope. The glass is 1/2 full. Join the Light! These guys rocked that song...and captured the spirit of the original.
Guys, you positively nailed this, and with vocal harmonies, too. Thanks. I wish my "late" cousin was still alive so he could hear this, he was such a Dylan fan. Hats off to you two..
I absolutely love it when you two team up !!! Both are very gifted at delivering a songs lyrics so that the lines fall on the heart and well as the ear. This song, just speaks so loudly for the events of today. Things ARE changing. It takes a brave person to stand up for what's right when others around them are shouting for what's wrong. Setting all my "political" babble aside.......really, I just love the music the two of you create !
10K+ likes, it's obvious from the 1st strums why these two are so popular on RUclips. Wonderful, fresh, traditional and skilled version of a timeless classic. Thank you boys, Carry On. wishing you both the very best in whatever directions you go.
I literally couldn’t breathe listening to this. This was the most beautiful effortless Dylan cover I’ve ever heard and I’m honest to god speechless. Wow.
Honestly guys, you are one of the only things keeping me from failing during this whole COVID crisis. I haven't seen my family for over year because we live in different countries and due to travel restrictions in place I haven't even seen my new born nephew. When I am feeling rock bottom you pick me up. That is something special. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do.
Totally beautiful, guys. Couldn't help but sing along, without remembering the lyrics. My late cousin would've been a fan of yours, since he was a Dylan devotee. (RIP Ronnie)
With your masterful cover Dylan's lyrics couldn't be in better hands. You guys amaze me with your talent and brave forays into a variety of genres. Keep it up and I'll keep watching!!
My goodness. I am so excited about finding your music. I love the harmonies, bluegrass in there, all fun and upbeat songs. Seriously I just love everything I hear.
I laugh when the wee man there panics and the smile on your face! Fantastic! He plays lead superb and the composition is great! He will stop fretting so much(excuse the pun) with experience! Awesome guys!
Dylan would be more than proud to hear you guys do his songs. They are timeless and you make them sound awesome. Keep the good work. There are many more Dylan songs that I'm sure you guys would do and post. Thank you for the music.
I'm 76 and I LOVE to hear young cats who can do truly Classic Rock well. These dudes are outstanding! Excellent job fellas!
This video is about six years old and it still stands. You guys nailed it. The musicianship, the energy, the spirit... everything. Wow.

"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it". Humanity proofs this proverb right time and time again. I dont think this will ever stop.

60 years ago, not 54.
Wow the lyrics for this song are more relevant today than ever.
Penn HMWiatt. No doubt, I’m pretty sure there was actually some civil rights problems going on and that’s what inspired it 🤷♂️
Will always be relevant
Not more relevant, but yes. Still very relevant in similar and different ways.

Wow. Perfect Live take. 2 guitars 2 voices all coming together without any flaw. Thanks for that. Keep jamming
That's the best rendition of this song I've ever heard... and I've been hearing it since 1971...
That guitar solo was unreal 🔥
the little smile he has at "your sons and your daughters are beyond your command" is ♥
it sure was a pleasure to WATCH these two MEN play this great song.
is that a reference to the fact that this song was in the movie watchmen?
oh boy aaron....

@David Wang jesus christ. the whole point of music is that it means something to different to different people. if this is what he thinks is the best, then that’s opinion and just as valid as yours.
way better than Dylan's. It's not even close. Bob Dylan is a great writer, but his voice... it's iconic but not great
