I was there. Somehow me and my friends got seated in the lawn chairs in front of the stage. There was a water shortage in NY at that time and when he sang everybody’s making love or else expecting rain we all cracked up, as you can here on the recording!
Fantastic piece of historical context. Thanks for sharing :) did you save a ticket or program from this concert? Did you attend any other Dylan concerts from this period?
I was there too. Couldn't believe some of the hecklers in the crowd complaining about his electrification ("he looks like Elvis Presley, for Chrissake!"). That day, I also remember there was a brief but violent storm on Long Island, knocking trees down (about 4:30 PM), including one that came down on our house, bounced off the roof, and onto my mom's car in the driveway! Anyway, I am SO grateful to finally have a recording of this historic concert.
Dear dennis, what was the shouting about at just like tom thumbs blues 2nd to last verse. i translated it on deepl into my language...text seems ok. so if you have a clue, thankyou. greetings from austria
I was at this concert - I thought the best song of the acoustic set was "To Ramona" and the best from the electric set was "Ballad of a Thin Man" though the opening song "Tombstone Blues" was almost a tie. I also saw Dylan's return to Forest Hills 51 years later just a few years ago - not nearly as good as the 65 show unfortunately. It's amazing that they didn't get it together to film the 65 show. So classic!
I saw him in like 2011 woodstock ny, I'm 29 now so maybe 20 or something then, but I specifically remember to Romona, which I was surprised he played, one of my favorite songs at the time, still love it , also desolation row(possibly all time favorite) he played a lot of good ones that night I think
The laughs on Desolation Row and his performance... Just perfect. I haven't heard this track for over a year, and it made me fall some tears, such a beautiful moment captured. Damn Bobby, I wish to someday see you pefrom
@@mrjasondylan sadly he doesn't come often to Argentina :( the last times he did, I was young and hadn't actually discovered his music. I've been saving for some time to take a trip to the states and see him, but as the currency here went to sh#t, its getting harder and harder :( He is definitely my number #1
@@agustinriestra9594 that sucks man I'm in Liverpool I've seen him in the UK about 10 times but I lived in the States for 14 years where I seen him all the other times. Last time was last year in Hyde park London with Neil Young. Good luck brother hope you get too see him someday soon.
Desolation Row being played live for the very first time! This is history. Wonder what they thought after having Dylan sing the same song for 11 minutes. Probable that they were born again. Great bootleg, by the way, keep them comingo, I love your account.
Live debut of “Desolation Row” which was recorder earlier in August but not yet released. Imagine hearing those weird words for the first time from Bob’s mouth (with acoustic guitar)? Thank you so much for posting these treasures!
Thanks - I was at this concert. If they had had brains enough to film this show it would be a total classic. Unfortunately, they didn't have the brains.
Well, that settles it. Ballad Of A Thin Man was already absolute MURDER from the very first night it was ever performed, onwards. Just one, long, seven-minute sneer. Gorgeous
Shame no video but extraordinary to hear Desolation Row. Audience reaction - immediate reaction to apparently offhand lyrics. Oh if only we could witness this now! They were certainly listening!
@@jerryleech8594 people listened like that at lots of venues, people are still listening to Dylan and his band like that, if you mean paying attention and being happy.
Terrific to hear From a Buick 6 live. He only performed it a couple of times, in California too I think and then dropped it. One of my favorites! And Tombstone Blues!
I remember the audience reaction more than the songs Dylan did. He was great that night, but I've seen him many times since and he always seems dour and indifferent to his audience. Then again, he must love it because he never stop touring.
he loves t tour-- it's his life --what keeps him going and gives life meaning. He's on tour now-- in his early 80s,. That his hard. ---I've heard shows over years where he never talk to the crowd. But I've heard him give monologues as well. ......He does what he feels--long live Bob

I love you so much for your content. … I really do. But most of all I love bob Dylan. But for all the recordings and access to them. I am so grateful for all everyone involved. And I know you see, feel and live for something close to what I do. I can’t say enough, thank you to all. It really makes my life Soo much more. It means the world to me.
Reading That Thin, Wild Mercury Sound by Daryl Sanders and when he went through the Forest Hills concert I decided to finally give it a listen. Thanks for the post, from a (relatively) new Bob Dylan fan!
Lucky you that must mean there's lots of material you haven't discovered yet it's a big catalogue and very diverse. I've seen him live 25 times since 87 on both sides of the pond and loved every minute of every show iv seen. From 1200 capacity college gymnasiums in Patterson New Jersey to 80,000 in Hyde park London last year.
I don't get it. This was what, four months before the Ginsberg Tapes in California. They loved him in California. No booing. He was happy, the audience was thrilled, it was normal. Then he went to Europe and it was booing all the way. Why was California so different?
💕 Wen Bobby LETS LOOSE On his Harmonica. He's So FLUENT on It. Thank You So much for this Share. These Days Are SO PRECIOUS Like Expensive Jewels. I was 9 in '65. SO RICH Soul for every- thing that would spring up & follow From his planting of Seeds of Pure Creativity & INSPIRATION. 💜✍️👍✨🔥☝️
Its weird, I know Beatle USA tours pretty well, I know Forest Hills, Dylan is damn lucky he got a bootleg of this performance! Wish we had a Beatle Forest Hill bootleg!
Having listened to so many of the solo concerts in 65, it's amazing to hear how Bob's work with the band so quickly transformed his music and his voice too. And then in 67 he would transform yet again into Basement Tapes Bob, a whole different kind of of musician.
I love the reactions to Desolation row. Humor seemed so much more innocent back them to get a laugh out of the silly lyrics. Can't help but wonder what that damn thumping sound is though :(
viviandarkbloom100 It was extremely windy that night. There are stories about the eerie and violent wind thrashing Dylan’s hair. You can see it in some of the photos.
The sound is not good, but all wonderful songs... I love Bob this time. No sophistication... Only he, his accoustic guitar and his harmonica and his pure voice...
Tyler This was after he had been replaced with Robbie Robertson. The lineup was Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm (great drummer), Al Kooper and Harvey Brooks.
yeah just keep on rolling Bob honey i AM AND ARTIST AND I DO NOT LOOK BAD NOW I AM JUST DRINKING A COFFEESMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU BECAUSE I LIKE IT

Desolation row and Ballad of a thin man got good hearted laughs man . It's amazing
One month after Newport - and two days before the official release of 'Highway 61 Revisited'....
WOW... the Quintasential Dylan... the way we LOVE him. I couldn't hand pick a better set list to show his genius. THANK YOU!

Olive Eisner yes! Buick is a rare one. He played it at the Hollywood Bowl, and that was it!
It's so refreshing to hear him caring about doing a good concert, not stoned out of his mind or indifferent as he was on most shows i saw in the 2000s

saw him at Kleinhans in Buffalo shortly thereafter. The acoustic set was superb, the electric set got boos.
Thank You SP you are an Artist !

Incredible, amazing. Thank you!
As others point out, the audience reactions during Desolation Row's debut was something else.
Such an amazingly great show. As for the sound, I’m cool with it. Thanks so much.
Al Kooper is so underrated
Not bad for a guitar player.
I agree 100%. Some of those piano licks are absolutely incredible.

YES YOU ARE THE ONE I AM LOOKING FOR AND NEED BOB DYLAN
you are so good storyteller Bob honey
Thanks once again awesome
@swingin' pig did they ever film any live performances of Dylans here stateside mid to late 1965 after getting back from Europe?
Esta grabación cae en el mundo de la arqueología musical.
Highway 61 Revisited was released two days later. Was this the first concert since Newport Folk Festival?
I was there.
YOU ARE THE LEGEND BOB HONEY
Desolation Row is like an upbeat gospel sing along.
Its weird, I know Beatle USA tours pretty well, I know Forest Hills, Dylan is damn lucky he got a bootleg of this performance! Wish we had a Beatle Forest Hill bootleg!
Having listened to so many of the solo concerts in 65, it's amazing to hear how Bob's work with the band so quickly transformed his music and his voice too. And then in 67 he would transform yet again into Basement Tapes Bob, a whole different kind of of musician.
this is a real pirate treasure buried in a somewhere beach
Man Levon helm sounds great on drums, too bad he couldn’t make the European tour ‘66
The best Bob Dylan is from 65-66 cause the songs are our magic
What was the uproar at 55:43 about? I'm guessing it was in response to "picking up angel who just arrived here from the coast" line, but why?
was there!
IT IS 6 O CLOCK I HAVE LIGHT MY FIRE IN A STOWE NOW I AM DRINKING A COFFEE SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU BOB HONEY YOU ARE THE BEST

GoonOnFire yeah, it’d me much more listenable if it weren’t for that damn noise in the mix. Sounds like the tape recorder had a heart beat.
@@SwinginPig I think I occasionally hear wind sounds. Like wind whipping a tent. Maybe not.

Sounds like a laugh track from I Love Lucy during Desolation Row. Insane.
