Thank you so much. I was sure I saw the whole song on my DVDs, (I bought a second because I was sure), but neither ever seemed to play the whole song. 🤷🏼♀️
They are all wasted. This proves the right drug can make music immense. I’ve been on stage wasted but this…. is another level. This is a master of his craft.
The best thing about Bob is he can encompass an entire novel's worth of themes into a 5 minute song and have it be cohesive and something with endless substance.
That because he has never been afraid to have “too many” verses! He just sings them fast so the song isn’t eight minutes, and if the song is eight minutes then it is eight minutes, and he didn’t give a shit! Baez said he composes lyrics like a ticker tape. Some days I do that, too but no one wants to hear mine! 😂😂😂
no. there has always been sickness and death. there will always be sickness and death. this is the nature of material life, no matter how large of a soccer mom army the public health dictatorship raises or how many bum shots the pharmaceutical demons cash in or how many limitations on love and happiness the executive brigands enact. one cannot live forever.
As he said “I learned my song well” it’s a lot of work, too. A full time job. One thing about a success, is that a success works and works and works and works with singular vision. There is no fast or easy route to success. Only ambition can propel talent, for talent without ambition is useless.
the performances from 75-76 leave me in such awe, whenever someone wants to discover strong evidence of Bob's ability to sing look no further than the Rolling Thunder Concerts. Nobody sings Bob Dylan like Bob Dylan. Shoutout to Jacques Levy for his assistance in co-writing Isis with Bob, and the MVP on fiddle Scarlett Rivera 🎻🔥. Simply Glorious. Thank You, Pig! 👍🤗
What captivates me about this performance, and what strikes me as truly unique about it, are Dylan’s hand gestures. I cannot think of a single other live performance of his where he isn’t hiding behind either a guitar or piano 100% of the time and focusing a certain amount of his attention on that, almost like a shield. Here there’s a striking lack of barriers between himself and the audience, and he’s just exposed in a way you never usually see.
I love how literally everyone in this video looks high as a kite. Bob's clenched fist and antsy jittering, everyone's wide, darting eyes... that said, golly these were incredible performances. Breathtaking sound, amazing visual experience, and I love the energy and the way he sings.
The acoustic guitarist that snarls at Bob’s hand might be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, considering it’s in the middle of such a magical performance.
I love that enthusiastic YES!! It's not a shy "if you want me to...yeah". He goes in trying to play it cool but at the end he can't hold back his excitement and goes for a full throated YES!! What a beautiful and strange love song.
I was so fortunate to catch this concert as well as 3 others on this tour. These concerts have not been topped since that day. Still enjoy seeing Dylan in concert.
What I so love about RTR (among many other things) is that it's a show where Dylan was not playing guitar on a few songs or any other musical instrument. He used his hands and his body in general to perform. It was wild. And I loved it.
I married Isis on the fifth day of May But I could not hold on to her very long So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong I came to a high place of darkness and light The dividing line ran through the center of town I hitched up my pony to a post on the right Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down A man in the corner approached me for a match I knew right away he was not ordinary He said, “Are you lookin’ for somethin’ easy to catch?” I said, “I got no money.” He said, “That ain’t necessary” We set out that night for the cold in the North I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word I said, “Where are we goin’?” He said we’d be back by the fourth I said, “That’s the best news that I’ve ever heard” I was thinkin’ about turquoise, I was thinkin’ about gold I was thinkin’ about diamonds and the world’s biggest necklace As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold I was thinkin’ about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless How she told me that one day we would meet up again And things would be different the next time we wed If I only could hang on and just be her friend I still can’t remember all the best things she said We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice He said, “There’s a body I’m tryin’ to find If I carry it out it’ll bring a good price” ’Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind The wind it was howlin’ and the snow was outrageous We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn When he died I was hopin’ that it wasn’t contagious But I made up my mind that I had to go on I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty There was no jewels, no nothin’, I felt I’d been had When I saw that my partner was just bein’ friendly When I took up his offer I must-a been mad I picked up his body and I dragged him inside Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special” She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, not quite” She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural” She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “Yeah, I jes might” Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child What drives me to you is what drives me insane I still can remember the way that you smiled On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin’ rain

I have reached the point in life where nothing makes me feel more alive than when I'm making music on stage or off. This band of pranksters knew what that's all about...
@@Avocado876 A lot of live versions of songs from RTR that were on Blood on the Track and Desire (as well as some earlier tunes) outshined the album cuts. Idiot Wind. Shelter from The Storm, One More Cup of Coffee, etc.
Love Dylan's Desire album, and the bootleg series Vol 5 live'75 Rolling Thunder Revue,I don't have the money to buy the complete Rolling Thunder Revue box set, but I think you get the gist of it on bootleg vol. 5 ,he sounds like he's possessed on some of the tracks, magical,I still love bootleg vol 4 live at the Albert hall,or the real Albert hall album,he's amazing,I love my Dylan record collection,you can just pick an era and he's singing these magical tales at you,I love his Rough and Rowdy ways, which is possible could be his last,it took me a long time to get into his later albums, starting with Time out of Mind,I had stopped buying his albums after the magnificent OH MERCY,I thought that was it.also my favourite era is his '65-66 electric trilogy, Bringing it all back home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and I love his '70s trilogy, Planet Waves, Blood on the tracks, Desire,I don't think you can get better than those six albums, and I didn't think Dylan had it in his later years, his voice is really hard to understand at times, but then I got into Time out of Mind,then Love and theft, and I started to come round, Dylan could never be the young electric Messiah of the mid '60s,or the Gypsy minstrel of '75-76, but he has still Dylan,a different Dylan, and still great, Modern Times is a good album,I'm not as keen on Together through life, but I love Tempest,I can't get into his Sinatra trilogy, Shadows in the night, Fallen angels, Triplicate, but then he came up with Rough and Rowdy ways,an all original Dylan album, since Tempest,eight years earlier. I wonder if we will get another original Bob Dylan album,or is Rough and Rowdy ways his goodbye. He's been the greatest lyricist the pop/Rock world has ever seen,so glad he got the Nobel prize for literature,he deserves it. Let's appreciate him while he's here. Bob Dylan,John Lennon are my favourite songwriters of all time, with Paul McCartney, Jagger and Richards, George Harrison, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Arthur Lee,Syd Barrett, The Doors, David Bowie, not far behind. ✌️
We ❤u bob . Keep up ur work . Ive seen u a few times know u 4cmant yrs n ur band members. Thank you 4 these presciouse yrs. . We love n miss u . Bandit n cheryl. M.V. keep rockin' ❤us . P.s.bqndit passed july 2021
Scarlet Rivera is amazing with Bob. I don’t think there has been anybody that has elevated Bob music as much as Scarlet did. These performances are transcendent
I'd think if he'd been with Garcia around the time it have been incredible. The 80 show from san Francisco gives a hint. By 87 Dylan really didn't give a crap anymore until the never ending tour. With that said, I agree wholeheartedly, though Larry Campbell was nothing to sneeze at
I saw this tour in Hartford a week after this recording. Good seats. Yes Scarlet Rivera was incredible and stunning but so was Mick Ronson on lead guitar. Yes, Spiders From Mars Mick Ronson. And that Dylan guy was in great form himself that month, as you can hear.
It's certainly my favourite. I wish Bob Dylan stayed longer in this particular, incredible epoch of his long and ever-changing catalogue of music. The Rolling Thunder Review tour (and his tour backed by The Band) are (in my opinion) the pinnacle of his career.
“...the snow was outrageous, we chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.” Well the lyrics, the delivery, and the footage of this is powerfully outrageous! Thanks so much Swingin’𓃟 ♡ Outstanding job as usual! シ
This is my favorite version of Isis. Good footage of Bob Dylan and Pretty good Sound Quality considering how old this was both Recorded and Filmed. Just my personal opinion. I've been to Madison Square Gardens in the 60's and 70's. I'm originally from New York. I wish that I could have been at this concert. I'll bet it was something to remember!
Am a Dylan fan. Start til now, thru n thru but this.... This was his prime. The whole desire album and blood on the tracks, nobody else can hold a candle
Michael McLoughlin I saw the show at Madison Sq. Garden, the performances were tremendous' In N.Y.C. the show was a benefit Rubin Carter's legal defense. Even Mohammed Ali was on stage. It was a night I'll never forget.
violinist = amazing "Donna Shea, better known as Scarlet Rivera is an American violinist. She is best known for her work with Bob Dylan, in particular on his 1976 album Desire and as part of the Rolling Thunder Revue. ..."
Lyrics : I married Isis on the fifth day of May, But I could not hold on to her very long. So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong. I came to a high place of darkness and light. The dividing line ran through the center of town. I hitched up my pony to a post on the right, Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down. A man in the corner approached me for a match. I knew right away he was not ordinary. He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?" I said, "I got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary." We set out that night for the cold in the North. I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word. I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth. I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard." I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold, I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace. As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold, I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless. How she told me that one day we would meet up again, And things would be different the next time we wed, If I only could hang on and just be her friend. I still can't remember all the best things she said. We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice. He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find. If I carry it out it'll bring a good price." 'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind. The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous. We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn. When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious, But I made up my mind that I had to go on. I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty. There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been had. When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly, When I took up his offer I must-a been mad. I picked up his body and I dragged him inside, Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover. I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied. Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her. She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise. Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed, I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes. I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead. She said, "Where ya been?" I said, "No place special." She said, "You look different." I said, "Well, I guess." She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural." She said, "You gonna stay?" I said, "If you want me to, yeah." Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child. What drives me to you is what drives me insane. I still can remember the way that you smiled On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain.
Still craving Scorcese's ROLLING THUNDER documentary. Footage like this, in remastered resolution....Lord, let me live long enough to see this new Marty film!!!!!
It came out 2019 on Netflix!!! You should definitely check it out!! They have No Direction Home about Dylan’s early career through the 65 66 tour with the band also!!
Love what your doing, as a hobby I recreate cd versions of the of TMOQ, Po Po Pig bootlegs for myself. Back in those days the the only way to get these sounds was to buy the bootlegs which was a lottery in itself. Would they be good, would they be duff. As much as I love the easy availablity of the Interweb nothing will ever match the thrill of the first needle drop on the LP after youve carried it home under your arm blazing like a badge for your musical taste. :)
..don't worry about the over-dubbing. It's still absolutely on fire. Do we define this as Performance Art ? Maybe partly ... but it's so real that although I see b dylan ..as "the Song and Dance Man," he seems to be entirely Real as real can be , as well. I've seen enough theater..that I can say, this Exceeds all boundaries of Theater.. This explosives show will cost me the rest of my life. And I'm very glad about that.
Hypnotic. Enthralling. I love the original song so much, so when I find a version that I haven't heard and it turns out to be this good, this eccentric, but still retain the original tune, you can imagine how fun it can be for me.
Jeez just wrote a comment which actually froze my iPad, ffs. That snow is outrageous. Then I made up my mind that I had to get on. I did take a screenshot so technology permitting, I’ll post soon.
Film is a miracle and takes the ambitious cameramen and women who GET IT DONE, no matter what they have to endure and work it out!!! BLESS THEM ALL!!!!!!~E
I love this song and it has resonances of “Kings Solomans Mines” a Rider Haggard book I had in my teens. Marvellous lyrics, rocking band and Dylan’s stellar singing

I love how Bob's the only one who gets to hear his harmonica.
He had to make room for Scarlet's sick ass violin work
The harmonica and violin occupy similar wavelengths and he is promoting people in the band.
If he don't feel it we don't feel it.
Just as well. Those coke days weren't the best for hitting key😁. Loved that performance!
Him & God.
They are all wasted. This proves the right drug can make music immense. I’ve been on stage wasted but this…. is another level. This is a master of his craft.
Pretty sure the face paint wasn't the only white substance around on this tour
The best thing about Bob is he can encompass an entire novel's worth of themes into a 5 minute song and have it be cohesive and something with endless substance.
I agree
That because he has never been afraid to have “too many” verses!

sci-fi western romance? lol. idk but for sure, especially this song, has epic adventure therein. I like that it really is like a novel, itn't it.
Have a 100!

I love Bob’s voice on this tour, how he just belts it out from his gut and I love the band, how it’s just a wonderful riot.
this is one of the most powerful performances of a song i've seen. incredible. The way Dylan spits out these lyrics is a thing to behold.
Exactly how I saw it to. Dylan just spitting these lyrics out with a fevered abandon.
Agreed. At certain points it almost resembles poetry, even rap almost. Incredible performance. My favorite version.
As he said “I learned my song well” it’s a lot of work, too. A full time job. One thing about a success, is that a success works and works and works and works with singular vision. There is no fast or easy route to success. Only ambition can propel talent, for talent without ambition is useless.
I couldn't agree more....clearly, this is the definitive performance of this amazing song!
Cocaine is a wonderful thing
Everyone's playing is so tight and Dylan half-rapping over them is incredible. I hope this doesn't get taken down.

Scarlet rivera looks so badass with the violin and that outfit
She even carried a sword 😉
The element of danger is pretty 🥰
Talk about a real rockstar. She is craazy great!!!
In the documentary he says “she didn’t much, but then, she didn’t have to”
This performance has wild energy! Bob's passionate delivery, Scarlet's gypsy violin spiraling out of control at 2:30 😄
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
But I could not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
I came to a high place of darkness and light
The dividing line ran through the center of town
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said, “Are you lookin’ for somethin’ easy to catch?”
I said, “I got no money.” He said, “That ain’t necessary”
We set out that night for the cold in the North
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
I said, “Where are we goin’?” He said we’d be back by the fourth
I said, “That’s the best news that I’ve ever heard”
I was thinkin’ about turquoise, I was thinkin’ about gold
I was thinkin’ about diamonds and the world’s biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin’ about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
How she told me that one day we would meet up again
And things would be different the next time we wed
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
I still can’t remember all the best things she said
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
He said, “There’s a body I’m tryin’ to find
If I carry it out it’ll bring a good price”
’Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind
The wind it was howlin’ and the snow was outrageous
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hopin’ that it wasn’t contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on
I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty
There was no jewels, no nothin’, I felt I’d been had
When I saw that my partner was just bein’ friendly
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special”
She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, not quite”
She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural”
She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “Yeah, I jes might”
Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin’ rain
You have to love how he goes away from the mic when he plays the harmonica hahahaha. Man the musicians are so good! everybody is doing a lot of stuff while playing and you can hear every instrument doing their own thing but all working together. Is amazing
Man, there is good music in the world, but Dylan is something else.
This version of Isis is probably my favorite ❤️
I have reached the point in life where nothing makes me feel more alive than when I'm making music on stage or off. This band of pranksters knew what that's all about...
This had already transformed into a completely different sounding song from the version on the album before the album was even released.
And so much better than the studio version, in my opinion.
@@Avocado876 A lot of live versions of songs from RTR that were on Blood on the Track and Desire (as well as some earlier tunes) outshined the album cuts. Idiot Wind. Shelter from The Storm, One More Cup of Coffee, etc.
I love Dylan with a passion but our boy here is lit on that yayo. It’s like his musical soul is trying to jump out of his body!
Long long time ago I was there.But will never forget the feelings running through me.Time may be changing. But memories always stay. Best concert ever
'What's your favorite Dylan song?' Whichever on I'm listening to now. This one is Always up there... and this is a killer rocknroll version. Primo!
I've seen Bob several times, and loved every minute of the shows, but this is some serious epic shite.
Love Dylan's Desire album, and the bootleg series Vol 5 live'75 Rolling Thunder Revue,I don't have the money to buy the complete Rolling Thunder Revue box set, but I think you get the gist of it on bootleg vol. 5 ,he sounds like he's possessed on some of the tracks, magical,I still love bootleg vol 4 live at the Albert hall,or the real Albert hall album,he's amazing,I love my Dylan record collection,you can just pick an era and he's singing these magical tales at you,I love his Rough and Rowdy ways, which is possible could be his last,it took me a long time to get into his later albums, starting with Time out of Mind,I had stopped buying his albums after the magnificent OH MERCY,I thought that was it.also my favourite era is his '65-66 electric trilogy, Bringing it all back home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and I love his '70s trilogy, Planet Waves, Blood on the tracks, Desire,I don't think you can get better than those six albums, and I didn't think Dylan had it in his later years, his voice is really hard to understand at times, but then I got into Time out of Mind,then Love and theft, and I started to come round, Dylan could never be the young electric Messiah of the mid '60s,or the Gypsy minstrel of '75-76, but he has still Dylan,a different Dylan, and still great, Modern Times is a good album,I'm not as keen on Together through life, but I love Tempest,I can't get into his Sinatra trilogy, Shadows in the night, Fallen angels, Triplicate, but then he came up with Rough and Rowdy ways,an all original Dylan album, since Tempest,eight years earlier. I wonder if we will get another original Bob Dylan album,or is Rough and Rowdy ways his goodbye. He's been the greatest lyricist the pop/Rock world has ever seen,so glad he got the Nobel prize for literature,he deserves it. Let's appreciate him while he's here. Bob Dylan,John Lennon are my favourite songwriters of all time, with Paul McCartney, Jagger and Richards, George Harrison, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Arthur Lee,Syd Barrett, The Doors, David Bowie, not far behind. ✌️
absolutely insane bass work
so tight

Scarlet Rivera is amazing with Bob.
I don’t think there has been anybody that has elevated Bob music as much as Scarlet did.
These performances are transcendent
I'd think if he'd been with Garcia around the time it have been incredible. The 80 show from san Francisco gives a hint. By 87 Dylan really didn't give a crap anymore until the never ending tour. With that said, I agree wholeheartedly, though Larry Campbell was nothing to sneeze at
100%, she is amazing. As is the incredible Dylan, what charisma
I saw this tour in Hartford a week after this recording. Good seats. Yes Scarlet Rivera was incredible and stunning but so was Mick Ronson on lead guitar. Yes, Spiders From Mars Mick Ronson. And that Dylan guy was in great form himself that month, as you can hear.
My hero.,absolutely amazing guy who makes moving lyrics into music. The genius amazes me.
speechless for how good this is.
Me too. How cool
Scarlet Rivera's electric violin was the perfect match for the Rolling Thunder Revue. Really mesmerizing!
This might be my favorite Dylan performance. Now on youtube! Thank you, Pig.
It's certainly my favourite. I wish Bob Dylan stayed longer in this particular, incredible epoch of his long and ever-changing catalogue of music. The Rolling Thunder Review tour (and his tour backed by The Band) are (in my opinion) the pinnacle of his career.
His "Shelter from the Storm" live about this time, maybe a year later, is also worthy.
This is beautiful art with music. He is a great gift in our times.
“...the snow was outrageous, we chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.” Well the lyrics, the delivery, and the footage of this is powerfully outrageous!
Thanks so much Swingin’𓃟 ♡
Outstanding job as usual! シ
Imagine walking down the street in New York in 1975 and seeing a crazed homeless man run by wearing a rainbow jacket and scarf.
That was Toronto, by the way...
@@letsif Good to know!
This is my favorite version of Isis. Good footage of Bob Dylan and Pretty good Sound Quality considering how old this was both Recorded and Filmed. Just my personal opinion. I've been to Madison Square Gardens in the 60's and 70's. I'm originally from New York. I wish that I could have been at this concert. I'll bet it was something to remember!
Am a Dylan fan. Start til now, thru n thru but this.... This was his prime. The whole desire album and blood on the tracks, nobody else can hold a candle
To my drunk Uber passenger who recommended this to me.. thank you
You are welcome.
@@emersononeill 🤣
One of my fave Bob songs. So evocative and clever
It seems to be powerful magic...
Absolutely fascinating!
Bob even to this day makes a good Front Man, theres nothing this man can't do.
Absolutely stunning performance...and only can be done by Dylan
Bob belted this one out. Scarlet was strong coming over the top. Loose as a goose with no remorse.
Man, to have witnessed this tour, smh, freaking awesome!!!!
I’ve listened to this about 50 times today 🙌🏽
Got to see him on this tour in Toronto. Awesome performance...Lloyd aka Lone Wolf :)
Michael McLoughlin
I saw the show at Madison Sq. Garden, the performances were tremendous'
In N.Y.C. the show was a benefit Rubin Carter's legal defense.
Even Mohammed Ali was on stage. It was a night I'll never forget.
always a joy to see that you've uploaded something new, and especially something as great as this. thanks swingin!
Bob Dylan and Rob Stoner singing togheter the last verse at 4:23 is my favourite thing
Yup. He nailed the vocal with Bob there!
Yes yes yes!!!!!
Thank you for posting! I’m so incredibly grateful to have been at this show.
Tell me about the day .please
violinist = amazing
"Donna Shea, better known as Scarlet Rivera is an American violinist. She is best known for her work with Bob Dylan, in particular on his 1976 album Desire and as part of the Rolling Thunder Revue. ..."
This performance is EPIC.. that's all I have to say.
Not wrong.
Lyrics :
I married Isis on the fifth day of May,
But I could not hold on to her very long.
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.
I came to a high place of darkness and light.
The dividing line ran through the center of town.
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right,
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.
A man in the corner approached me for a match.
I knew right away he was not ordinary.
He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"
I said, "I got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary."
We set out that night for the cold in the North.
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word.
I said, "Where are we goin'?" He said we'd be back by the fourth.
I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard."
I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold,
I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace.
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,
I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless.
How she told me that one day we would meet up again,
And things would be different the next time we wed,
If I only could hang on and just be her friend.
I still can't remember all the best things she said.
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice.
He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find.
If I carry it out it'll bring a good price."
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous.
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious,
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty.
There was no jewels, no nothin', I felt I'd been had.
When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly,
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad.
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside,
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover.
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied.
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise.
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed,
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes.
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
She said, "Where ya been?" I said, "No place special."
She said, "You look different." I said, "Well, I guess."
She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural."
She said, "You gonna stay?" I said, "If you want me to, yeah."
Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain.
Timming is the key ...bloody timming ...respect & comunion espontanea, musicos de la calle trabajando por centavos y recibiendo y otorgando la Gloria
Still craving Scorcese's ROLLING THUNDER documentary. Footage like this, in remastered resolution....Lord, let me live long enough to see this new Marty film!!!!!
It came out 2019 on Netflix!!! You should definitely check it out!! They have No Direction Home about Dylan’s early career through the 65 66 tour with the band also!!
So much great version of such a great song ... as part of such a great film ... thank you so much for sharing it!
Love what your doing, as a hobby I recreate cd versions of the of TMOQ, Po Po Pig bootlegs for myself. Back in those days the the only way to get these sounds was to buy the bootlegs which was a lottery in itself. Would they be good, would they be duff. As much as I love the easy availablity of the Interweb nothing will ever match the thrill of the first needle drop on the LP after youve carried it home under your arm blazing like a badge for your musical taste. :)
Wow.. first time I see this, very special Performance ‼️
Dankeschön
..don't worry about the over-dubbing. It's still absolutely on fire. Do we define this as Performance Art ? Maybe partly ... but it's so real that although I see b dylan ..as "the Song and Dance Man," he seems to be entirely Real as real can be , as well. I've seen enough theater..that I can say, this Exceeds all boundaries of Theater..
This explosives show will cost me the rest of my life. And I'm very glad about that.
Hypnotic. Enthralling. I love the original song so much, so when I find a version that I haven't heard and it turns out to be this good, this eccentric, but still retain the original tune, you can imagine how fun it can be for me.
Music just isn’t the same these days. Too much focus on a beat and not as much on lyrics. Bob is a true storyteller when he plays.
A wonderful song, a humorous, literarily demanding parable ... Bob is a great storyteller
My favorite musician's favorite version of my favorite song. It just quite literally gets NO BETTER. Fuck
Süßer Bobby, Du hast auf der Bühne gekämpft wie ein Krieger!!
Holy shit balls madman! Wish I was a small piece of dirt on that electrifying stage. I'll probably die today. Glad I found this
this is just beautiful
Jeez just wrote a comment which actually froze my iPad, ffs. That snow is outrageous. Then I made up my mind that I had to get on. I did take a screenshot so technology permitting, I’ll post soon.
The dude on bass is playing the shit out of this one!
👍👍👍,,, Rob Stoner
Incredible performance
"If you want me to... YEAH!!!"
Treasures here... footage and editing, interpretation and words, a whole spiritual feeling. Just amazing! Thanks
I knew right away, he was not ordinary!
SO FUCKING RAW
It feels like Robert Service leaping through Dylan!!! This is a song from yesterday and then again the future and then once more for all time!!!
This is my favorite Dylan song ever, thanks to this favorite performance ever.
Swingin’ That was Swingin’ 🎶🕺💃💥👌Superb... Thanks Dylan🌹❤️🌞💥
Thanks for upload, SP, very enjoyable.
Thank you. We’ll see you in 15 minutes.
Film is a miracle and takes the ambitious cameramen and women who GET IT DONE, no matter what they have to endure and work it out!!! BLESS THEM ALL!!!!!!~E
I love this song and it has resonances of “Kings Solomans Mines” a Rider Haggard book I had in my teens. Marvellous lyrics, rocking band and Dylan’s stellar singing
The wind it was howling, the snow was outrageous
I was there that night. Fifth row center with a ticket I bought from three girls on a train.
I knew it was not the same because at the Garden he pretended to throw him down in the hole ans put back the cover
I was only thinking about this song, and youtube algorithm brought it up...🤔😳
what a great genius ...... thanks Swingin' Pg ♥♥♥
Pozdrawiam Cię,Robercie,z Polski!🤓🎸🎤🎩💯👏🇵🇱
I wish I had more thumbs. Fills every atom of mine with pure enthusiasm.
Love the live version,it's like a wake up call or a really strong,strong cuppa coffee.
Astounding, Dylan and band just bring it.
Mein Bobby lässt seine Wildheit raus! Schön!!
Probably my favourite live performance
you did an amazing job.I`ve also seen the vimeo video.loved it.

تزوجت إيزيس في اليوم الخامس من شهر مايو
ولكن لم أستطع الابقاء عليها لفترة طويلة جدا
لذلك قطعت شعري وركبت على الفور
لبلد غير معروف البرية حيث لم أستطع الذهاب الخطأ
جئت إلى مكان عال من الظلام والضوء
يمر الخط الفاصل عبر وسط المدينة
أنا مربوط حتى بلدي المهر إلى وظيفة على اليمين
ذهبت إلى مغسلة لغسل ملابسي
رجل في الزاوية اقترب مني لمباراة
عرفت على الفور أنه لم يكن عاديا
قال, هل تبحث عن شيء سهل الإمساك به
قال, لم أحصل على المال, هو قال, هذا ليس ضروريا
شرعنا في تلك الليلة للبرد في الشمال
أعطيته بطانيتي ، أعطاني كلمته
قلت ، إلى أين نذهب ، قال أننا سنعود بحلول الرابع
قلت ، هذا هو أفضل الأخبار التي سمعت من أي وقت مضى
كنت أفكر في الفيروز ، كنت أفكر في الذهب
كنت أفكر في الماس وأكبر قلادة في العالم
ونحن ركب من خلال الأخاديد ، من خلال البرد الشيطانية
كنت أفكر في إيزيس, كيف اعتقدت أنني متهور جدا
كيف قالت لي أن يوم واحد سوف نلتقي مرة أخرى
والأمور ستكون مختلفة في المرة القادمة التي تزوجنا
إذا أنا فقط يمكن أن تعلق على ومجرد أن يكون صديقتها
ما زلت لا أتذكر كل أفضل الأشياء التي قالتها
لقد جئنا إلى الأهرامات كلها مغروسة في الجليد
قال ، هناك جثة أحاول إيجادها
إذا كنت تحمل بها انها سوف تجلب سعر جيد
'التوا ثم أن كنت أعرف ما كان يدور في ذهنه
الريح كانت هولين والثلج كان شنيعا
نحن المفروم خلال الليل ونحن المفروم خلال الفجر
عندما مات كنت آمل ألا يكون معديا
لكنني قررت أنني يجب أن أستمر
اقتحمت القبر ، لكن النعش كان فارغا
لم يكن هناك جواهر ، لا شيء' ، شعرت كنت قد كان
عندما رأيت أن شريكي كان ودودا
عندما توليت عرضه لا بد لي-كان مجنونا
التقطت جسده وجرته إلى الداخل
رمى يديه وقدميه في حفرة وأنا وضعت الغطاء مرة أخرى
قلت صلاة سريعة وشعرت بالارتياح
ثم ركبت مرة أخرى للعثور على إيزيس فقط لأقول لها إنني أحبها
كانت هناك في المرج حيث كان الخور يرتفع
أعمى من النوم وفي حاجة إلى سرير
جئت من الشرق والشمس في عيني
لقد لعنتها ذات مرة ثم ركبت للأمام
قالت, أين كنت? قلت ، لا مكان خاص
قالت, تبدو مختلفا, انا قلت, حسنا, أعتقد
قالت ، لقد رحلت ، قلت ، هذا طبيعي فقط
قالت, هل ستبقى? انا قلت, بلى, قد أفعل
إيزيس ، أوه ، إيزيس ، أنت طفل باطني
ما يدفعني إليك هو ما يدفعني للجنون
ما زلت أتذكر الطريقة التي ابتسمت بها
في اليوم الخامس من شهر مايو في المطر المطري
16 أبريل 2014
♥️💚💜🌹

مكان مرتفع

Me encanta este tema..la potencia, lo bohemio, las pintas que tienen, jaja
