This great one hour press conference isn't on RUclips in its full length so I figured I'd share to fellow Dylanites.

It's like he's an alien and we're trying to get as much information on him as possible.
''.....We all like motorcycles to some degree...''
I love how if you ask him a real question, he'll answer sincerely, if not shyly. But if you ask some pseudo-intellectual nonsense, he just gives you back nonsense to humor himself.
Yes! Brilliant!
he clearly hates talking about himself, the only question he fully answered was about poets. i really like that.
A Midwesterner
Never have I seen someone simultaneously make interviewers appear so inadequate the way he does. The man is wisdom.
Bob Dylan is cooler than the other side of the pillow
devon long
no doubt
devon long greatest comment ever
I love that quote! RIP Stuwart Scott...
I can't believe this was almost 50 years ago.
The dude's face after he says "I've thought about it a great deal" at 2:10. I think he's going to murder someone if he doesn't get the answer he's looking for.
Who or what the fuck was that! Way to intense. Harshing my mellow!
It's like he turned into Charles Manson for a few seconds
John King .. totally
Wow, apparently he ended up at a mental hospital in Oakland. source: kripes.proboards.com/thread/1
Yeah you remember the scene in Zodiac where a mental patient calls a TV show and claims to be Zodiac? Well it was this guy.
'Mr Dylan is a poet who also happens to be a singer. He'll answer anything from uh... atomic science to.... riddles and rhymes. Go. "....... now that is how a manager handles the press...
If it's for an atomic scientist and riddle and rhymer it is.
LOL
4:13 "There would be no music without the words" - oh man...if he only knew what today's music was like lol
theyre laughing so hard when its only a little funny
like one dude was like AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"I consider myself a song and dance man"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "
+Brandon Wilson exactly that part! And 6:00 lol XD
@@00brandonwilson omg i finished reading this when it started happening ahahhaha
*Forcefully* "I've thought about it a great deal."
*licks his beatnik lips*
This comment deserves all the fine things in life
Thank you so much for uploading this!! We definitely used some of this footage on our top 10 Bob Dylan songs circa 1963-1966 series on our channel if anyone is interested in checking that out. Appreciate you keeping the great history of Dylan alive!!
Dylan understands the threat and the absurdity of idol worshiping and is visibly uncomfortable. It pains him to be seen as a prophet who has answers when really he is a witness. (i'm mostly referring to the beginning of the interview- the triumph question.
I don't think he was trying to be a jerk or anything, he probably just didn't know the answers himself.
I get the impression he was trollin.
2:12 I THOUGHT ABOUT IT A GREAT DEAL (LICKS LIPS)
Bob what is the meaning of life ? why was the universe created or was it ? what's the correlation between time ,energy. space ,what is mankind's destiny?
Dude that should be a question to yourself... Know it's long since you wrote this so maybe you already got it
@@hyperionlightseeker1814 he was being sarcastic.
"what about the motorcycle imagery in your song writing"
"well we all like motorcyles"
"i know i do"...
-stares into the middledistance
1:37- 1:47 Subterranian Homesick Blues is on the album Bringing It All Back Home not Highway 61 where he is wearing the motorcyle t-shirt.
I wondered about that too
What many don't realize, is that this is in a very unique period of time in Bob Dylans music. It was before the 1966 electric tour and the thin wild mercury sound. At this time, Bob was playing electric shows in the USA. These shows have an acoustic set and electric set with different songs and voice than the 1966 hawks tour. Bob's voice change A HUGE amount by the time he started the European tour in 1966, its a lot trippier and lower. Also a never before released song was played around this time called Long Distance Operator. And the live debut of Desolation Row was also in these USA shows. Late 1965 had a unique sound and is must hear stuff.
that change was brought on by a drug called heroin, read the interview bu Robert Shelton from 1966. Many stories from this time also hint at it and as a former addict myself it pretty obvious. Stories of the 66 tour say hed snort some H before tbe acoustic set and do a speed ball before electric hense the sudden change in energy.
im not knocking him by saying that hes one of my music icons and ive read numerous books on him i just find it interesting. its also really sad when you think about it and i think as do many that the 66' "motorcycle crash" was his way to clean up
I guess their is a certain similarity, check out tim hardin live Woodstock its crazy how the vibe is so close
Mr.DC24 just checked it out,very similar
s
to
Way ahead of his time, coolest musician of all time maybe
Thank you for posting all the parts!! Subscribed!
Thank you SO MUCH!! Ive been looking EVERYWHERE FOR THIS!!!
Ralph J. Gleason, influential music critic and founding editor of RS, also co-founder of the Monterey Jazz Festival, introduces Dylan to the press.
I don't know what's better when the guy says "Go" Or the hidden deep meaning behind the Triumph t-shirt. LOLOL This made my night ..Bob you're just too damn cool...make people lose their damn minds lol Great stuff right here
Uma tradução seria bem bacana
Thank you so much for sharing!

Arthur Rimbaud, W.C. Fields, Smokey Robinson, Allen Ginsberg, Charlie Rich.
Thanks for posting!

you are the best. I love only classic music but i love your songs and Beattles'songs so I you were and you alway are the best. there were in France some good songs but they dead. Happily you are here we wish other songs from you Thank you for the happyness you give us
This comment section is about as entertaining as the interview itself....
can someone take that part at 2:13 and turn it into a gif?
I've thought about it a great deal
***** here's your GIF lol!

GOOD LORD! I love you! Thanks! You're my hero
so glad this happened. youre both amazing
That guy is intense.
you guys remember the scene in Zodiac where a mental patient calls a TV show and claims to be Zodiac killer? Well it was this guy.
Thank you for uploading, great interview :)
Ralph J. Gleason. Allen Ginsberg is in the audience, and Claud Mann, an old TV anchor at KTVU, asks a question near the beginning.
Dude must have full-on anxiety to spend that much time living in his own cloud of smoke
nah...........
you heard him.. 'he likes to needle people'.. mess with their minds... he's a word man. .. he appears to be holding back.. lol... this tape is freaking great
"Poet" is a much better word to use than "musician". Repeat four chords for 3 minutes. Wow. Such genius.
"I thought about it a lot!"
"It was just taken one day while I was sitting on the steps. I don't remember."
That sums things up pretty good, I think
What a poor little frustrated anonymous guy that you are, friend. Go make your success, like Dylan did. Maybe you'll stop spilling your self-indulgence in comments no one reads but myself.
thanks very much for sharing this rare gem!
Janis, Singapore
I have this on vinyl, a picture disc that I used to listen to religiously in the 80s. I never knew that any video existed of this until now!
I had seen this video before but not the first part. Love how he appears from the shadows, silent...
i love this. they keep trying to define him, and he just keeps shattering their definitions
👏
24 years old. What a great buzz. Long live this man. May his songs be shot into outer space to accompany Chuck Berry. A good life is made up of moments like these. Live long and prosper y'all.
this is the coolest video on youtube.
thanks for posting it
he's amazing even when he's just talking.....god
best bloody interview ever
@1975hippie
you got that right...the constant half smiling....aaah...falling inlove with 60's dylan
he really is a *"Song-and-Dance-Man"*
At 2:18, I bet Bob's thinking, "Oh, God...first question and I already need a cigarette."
Adam Dale You know it. Naturally ;)
Highway 61! That album was a great christmas gift.
2:15 creepy lol !
"I'm a song and dance Man" --- Robert Allen Zimmerman
Great interview💫👌 of 24 yr Song- & Danceman 2:41 Forever Young Dylan❣️🌞Making Vision, mathematical music🌺 There will be a time for paint/sculpt! And it did❣️
Cool personified
+Andy Trullinger - that it is!! the coolest cat ever
Is it even possible to have a normal conversation with this guy? Hahaha this is just gold right here
Man! musicians used to be public figures, they used to be characters that actually had something thing to say for themselves. I miss being able to listen to a musical artist who actually knew how to communicate and could make me laugh!
"How wasted is really wasted and do you foresee it?"
I like how shy he was.
Bob Dylan was so original in the 60s people actually believed he was a genius, that somewhere in his lyrics was the answer to all problems in the world like the Vietnam war
The answer was
+villaparis2 yeah. people were really naive and simple back then.
2:12 "Come to me baby boy, gimme some sugar!..."
Pretty sure that is Allen Ginsberg at 4.36, asking Dylan if there'll ever come a time when he is "hung as a thief".
You know when he's going to say something funny because he laughs before he says it, haha he's just the cutest.
@MrOdsplut apparently Ginsberg asking "do you think there will ever be a time when you'll be hung as a thief?"... referring to Dylan's thefts from literary and musical sources. I read it somewhere.
butterf1yz I do hope that as times has gone by you are no longer so literal. Ginsberg was referring to the cult of worship that people felt toward Dylan at that time. Not that he was the messiah - but that he was worthy of being in the same company. Dylan refuted all of that nonsense as he humorously made fun of those reporters who asked foolish questions. He is very witty! Now about Ginsberg.....never mind.
That first guy was a little wonky I think
I should add that the 'Freeze Out' song he mentions at one point is actually 'Visions of Johanna'. There's an early recording of it titled '(Seems Like a) Freeze Out', I need to find a way to upload that. It's pretty awesome.
it's funny to watch. he hated press conferences. If you are interested, you must go watch 'don't look back' where he just eviscerates the British press.He also would chronically like during these, just to entertain himself. It seemed he really didn't think much about his album covers, for example. So, when people would press him on the symbolism - he would just tune out. Am reading Chronicles right now, and it seems to be the first time he has even given an honest and introspective look at his past. also, if you are fans of press conferences, go find the Beatles. Their press conferences were GENIUS and have still never been matched
His answer at 9:27 : " Truffaut " . François Truffaut was a great French movie director (1932 -1984 ) . Bob Dylan, a very cultured man indeed !
I got that early bootleg version of Visions of Johanna up, it's on my channel. No idea how long it'll stay there though.
The gentleman who introduces the press conference is an awesome son of a gun.
"More of a song and dance man ya' know."
"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH" Calm down everyone.
how shortly before his motorcycle accident was this interview? Blonde on Blonde was out by then, Dec 5, 1965 I seem to recall, but I don't know the exact date, off-hand, of the motorcycle accident. wow...I'm thinking it wasn't too long after this interview,,,wow, this represents the end of an era for Bob...and his fans....and a totally new and different era would begin...
mortimer zilch Blonde on Blonde was released in the May of 1966, and Dylan crashed his motorcycle in June of the same year.
The guy in 2:09 claimed to be the Zodiac.
??
+Devin Tariel 3:37 the guy in the back, Richard Gaikowski is the prime suspect for being the Zodiac Killer.
The guy at 2:09 just so happened to be the guy who called the show but i never noticed Gaikowski there too
We all like rare gems to some degree
"there wouldn't music without the words" I wish that was true now lol
4:20
Interviewer: ''Do you think there will ever be a time when you paint or sculpt?''
Dylan: ''Oh Yes, Oh sure.''
Here we are in 2012 where Dylan's paintings etc are on display at galleries, he lived up to that!
this damn thing won't give me part 6! very frustrating!
this is what some of her scenes are based off of in "I'm Not There" if that's what you mean
there would be no music without the words
He didnt use it in that context ynojynnojsdfkjah. What he meant wast that he started with poetry first, then he would hear the music that followed. Did you even watch the video ?
You can find names for most of the people at the conference here: dvdylan.com/dvd/D011
i really like his manager
toda la conferencia subtitulado al español por favor
no entiendo el ingles.
Alguien que lo tradusca la conferencia completa . gracias.
david javi ponte a estudiar ingles animal
Es Allen Ginsberg en el 4:40????
Allen Ginsberg was in the room! That must of been pretty settling for him to hear
"Bob, do you have any thoughts behind the meaning of R.Crumb's Mr. Natural character?"
Fun fact - the photographer later ended up at a mental hospital and was the one who called that radio station pretending to be the Zodiac Killer.
He wouldn't have made the album if they were going to ask the right questions.
Song and dance man indeed!
"I've thought about it a great deal" *extremely pervy face
Yeah, my friend saw him recently and says he mumbles when he sings and I say hello he's been doing that a lot over the yrs😂
That guy asking about the Triumph shirt was out of it! I guess Dylan handled it well but I would have been like, "It's not the cover that matters, it's the music." Crazy bastard.
"I wouldn't say NIGHT has anything to do with it....."
"You're a part of that... dude....."
Was that Ginsberg at the back in 4:40?
Julian I guess it WAS Ginsberg
Dylan. So perfectly, ineffably cool here. And already an icon, in 19-fucking-65!
And in his time, Johnny Cash was as recognisable to Americans as only two
men had ever been, Dick Nixon and John Wayne. Such legends, in their own
time and forever.
@EmuMinstrel
haha i thought so because he's like "you're not supposed to say that"
i don't get that question though is there a reference there, or is it just a random question?
what's the question asked at 4:34? can't figure out why they're all laughing.
I have some profound words of wisdom for Mr. Dylan:....
"Damn baby! You are freaking beautiful:)"
Media are asking absurd questions ... " " do you think your songs are good " ? Example of putting him on ; his answer is " you have some nerve , do you ask the Beatles that question ". Bob has a choice : give a hilarious ans. or disregard and ask them a question they won't answer honestly , a cat and mouse game . If it's a logical question , he trys to answer in kind . How can he answer many of these questions ; put yourself in his place , it ends up a comedy , Bob isn't going to be bested , he is too smart for media !
He was known to be the guy who called into Jim Dunbars talk show claiming to be the Zodiac killer apparently.
the lady in background is joan baez ?
That man's name was Eric Weil. In 1969 he claimed to be the Zodiac Killer when he called Jim Dunbar show...definitely a troubled individual.
What does he say at 5:55?
