- Bob Dylan with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Al Kooper at the Newport Folk Festival 25/07/1965
This was the second of three songs in the famous 'Dylan goes electric' controversy at Newport, played right after 'Maggie's Farm', and before 'Phantom Engineer'. He then left the stage and came back to play two more songs on an acoustic guitar.
Bob Dylan - vocals, guitar, harmonica, police car.
Mike Bloomfield - electric guitar
Al Kooper - organ
Elvin Bishop/Jerome Arnold (Unknown?) - bass guitar
Sam Lay - drums
electrified one half of his audience, and electrocuted the other

It's amazing that over 3 million people are able to witness this moment and all the impact it had - and still has - 56 years on. I uploaded this in January 2018 and it was instantly flagged and blocked by ContentID (understandable.) In December 2020 it was mysteriously unblocked, I can only assume this was done manually, so my thanks go to whoever did that, allowing so many to experience this incredible, electrifying moment in history.
Wow, I just now put in this song on RUclips to listen to it. You're video of a live performance came up. I had no idea of your struggles and issues to put history on record here. Hope it stays. My best from all of us.
Thanks a bunch for that Monotone, this video is cherished! (Same goes to our anonymous benefactor in the publishing rights dept)
No one should be able to copyright history.
Thanks so much for putting this up! I'm so happy I can watch it, it happened almost 40 years before I was born
It’s epic. Thank you. 😀
This should be in the rock and roll musical archives.......the world of music changed after this performance
I was there. My family had just moved to Newport and my parents took me to the folk festival as my 13th birthday present. Next year I’ll turn 70. The quality of this video is amazing, as are the memories.
wow!
That’s freakin awesome. I wish I could have seen Bob Dylan in 1965.
So awesome you got to actually be there to witness history happen as it happened.
Lived in it. Dylan, the greatest singer I first Loved💙
Nice!
In 1969 I was a runaway 15 yr old hippie kid living on the streets in LA this song was like an anthem to me. In my darkest, loneliest, hungriest nights I would play this song in my head to find the rebellious strength to carry me thru another night on the streets. Thank you Bob
💔❤️
Thanks for sharing, I hope you're in a better place
@@NazJones2212 yes thank you!! Life unfolded pretty good :)
Hey Bob… glad you made it .. there’s happiness everywhere 🤩
Thanks. This song carried me through a stroke recovery.
I was there -- at Newport in 65. I'd say about 25 percent of the audience booed at first, but more cheered, and by the time Bobby sang this song, just about everyone liked it. Most people could feel in their hearts a new, terrific chapter in music had begun.
As was I complments of the US Navy. WOW. Was a fan before that.
Probably didn’t help that he started his electric set with Maggie’s Farm, which is quite brash compared to most of his electric songs. Even now, there are Dylan fans who press “skip” on Maggie’s Farm if they’re not in the mood, so I can only imagine what a rude awakening it might have been to Seeger and the other folk diehards at the times.
really interesting, thanks for your post, because normally that's never how it's portrayed in documentaries etc.
theres one on Netflix that does
@@MJ2327
I am jealous of you witnessing such an important moment in the history of music.
August 2023..Bob my hero...all of his songs have sung my life..and I am 75...thank you
Awesome! Probably had great experiences in your time,starting as a hippie😊
Im 49 and I feel the same , what a Lucky to live in the times of that great Phenomenon … incredible….
“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet, but your kids will love it.”

Your not wrong...

What a comment take a bow
One of the greatest moments in music history.
You mean when he opened with Maggie's Farm? Just saying...
Before that evening rock could be this, and maybe a bit of that. All of a sudden it could be.... well, anything you wanted it to be.
Ok I can agree to that.
.. i pre-fure the record(s) .. : most of the time(s) ..
almost civil war half the fans wanted to murder dylan for the electric guitar....
My favorite song - this is for my husband who died of cancer, this was his favorite music, Dylan!!
I'm so sorry for your loss
❤
I'm sorry your husband died. Hopefully Dylan's music brings you happy memories.
This is not music... This is ART!!!!
Real authentic Music is ART
This ain't ART, this is a cultural upheaval in music....duh!
@@alfredramirez6402 In portuguese: FODA SE!!!
Thanks for that comment,you hit it square on the head.
Everything Dylan did was art.
Imagine buying tickets to boo the tour for the greatest lyrical rock album in history.
Why did they boo?
@@freedomring6364 because they wanted to hear Bob sing folk songs. The folkies in the crowd did not like electric music at all.
@@freedomring6364 its sorta like how old school hip hop fans think new school hip hop is wack, they thought it wasn't authentic.... for the record I think that modern hip hop has allot to be talked trash about, but its just an analogy of the situation happening here
@@defoperator7993 thank you for explanation
Imagine buying tickets to listen to folk, but instead rock is played
I feel like they overreacted though
Early Dylan was pure genius. I've been listening to him for 60 years now and never cease to be amazed at how good he was.
Is***!!!!!
He is still kicking my dude
Agreed. But I listen to albums from the last 24 years more than those early records now. The last one Rough and Rowdy Ways is close to being the equal of anything he did in the 60s.
Although his voice has been shot since mid 80s almost, Bob is still the genius that he was all those years ago. His last album is top quality.
So true, a talent beyond this world.
He had so much courage back then under so much pressure and agression.Amazing young man,poetic,performer,singer etc.
Yup. I was just thinking did any Singer/Songwriter ever have a better year than Bob had in 65? He had this one. One of the greatest most influential rock songs ever. Maybe the Greatest who can say ?, that went to no. 12 I believe on the Pop Charts. The Byrds doing Mr. Tambourine Man goes to No. 1 and The Byrds, and Cher, have top 40 hits with All I Really want To Do. Both very good records that hold up. The Turtles go to No. 8 with their exuberant garage rock version of It Ain't Me Babe. He puts out 2 incredible mind boggling albums Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61. I'm probably missing something,but anyway can't be topped.
Positively 4th Street one of his greatest songs too.
It really would of taken a whole heap of courage
@@vernpascal1531 He was fairly well established as a songwriter and performer by 65. He had several top ten if not number one hits by Peter :Paul and Mary among others as well as several folk albums by them. The bravest thing was using an Electric guitar for the Highway 65 album and at Newport. Also with his Nashville skyline album. Now if only he had a voice that wouldn't grate on so many people he probably would have been as big or bigger than the Beatles. I'm only allowed to listen to Bob in my car alone.
One of the most important moments of the '60s.
ALASBUENAS a las 😸😃 respuestas me remito... contento por escuchar ESTO.... APASALOBIEN TØS
.. i pre-fure the record(s) .. : most of the time(s) ..
Exactly right! Changed music forever....
I wonder... is there better live version of this song? I searched and imo this is the best.
@@freakystyley Ka, just for an interesting contrast I suggest that you listen to Jimi Hendrix' version of Like a Rolling Stone. He played it live at the Monterey Pop Festival. Alas, it's not in the classic film by Pennebaker but the CD is available. EXCELLENT recording and Jimi does a magnificent cover. He also covered All Along the Watchtower but not on this CD. I think you will enjoy Jimi's version and I highly recommend it. As an interesting aside, the Jimi Hendrix Experience was introduced at the Pop Festival by Brian Jones - one of the original founders of the Rolling Stone and their early creative force. I also highly recommend the movie Monterey Pop. An absolutely classic film and THE (not Woodstock) definitive rock-and-roll concert film. A masterpiece ! Enjoy...
This song changed everything....Dylan took rock 'n' roll and gave it legitimacy. It was no longer something adults could dismiss.
Informing that he went electric following a suggestion by The Beatles that were fascinated by him. It seems Dylan introduced them to marijuana. And also suggested them to improve their lyrics, to sing about their real feelings. John agreed and answered with a suggestion to go electric. Wow, what a wonderful meeting. Great for The Beatles...cause they really improved their lyrics. Great for Dylan that gave us a classic like this one that would not be so great if it was only acoustic.
lmao yeah rock n roll didnt have legitimacy before dylan, the earth is flat, reptiles run the government and covid is just a flu
btw this isnt even rock n roll
arguably one of the most important songs ever recorded
@@Loots1 please stop farting. those around you are nauseated by the vaseline fumes.
In 69 i was in Vietnam. Semper Fi. Old rocker still rocking 😎
you're a legend
God Bless.
My roommate in nursing school was recruited by the army in 1968 and when we graduated she was sent to Fort Sam Houston for basics and then went to Vietnam as an Army nurse in an evac hospital….that was the fall of 1970.
If I had a time machine...this is where you would find me each and every day. What a place to be ...
Bob Dylan + electric guitar = pure unadulterated magical moment in Rock and Roll history.
Yes, but if Bob (when unknown) auditioned for America's Got Talent or similar venue today, he'd never get past audition phase. No pizzazz.
@@brahmburgers interesting I not sure because by now it’s been overused so maybe but not
Freaking Strat
Having Mike Bloomfield didn't hurt (IMO one of the most underrecognized guitarists in history)
@@amejapan Right. Like so many of the greats they could never do it entirely on their own. Masters Of War, A Hard Rain, Mr. Tambourine Man and many others may be every bit as great as songs, ,but acoustic could just never be as powerful as the organ combined with Bloomfield's transcendental guitar.
Dude this video has the best sound quality of a live performance from this era I’ve ever seen
And to think that I was a teen-ager. I was still in grade school.
Board recording, overdubbed with footage. Clearly not a live mic.. Think about the guy who thought to press record! Or even the filming!?
the legendary Neumann mic!
no shit man. everybody whiffed but I hear ya bro. just thinkin the same
I watch videos from festivals I was at in the 90s and 00s and they're not nearly as good.
I can't fathom writing a song of this timeless quality and messaging in my early twenties, that so masterfully bridges several genres in one go to boot. I totally believe it deserves the crown as best original composition ever. Dylan in the 60s was, is legendary.
"When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose. You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal. How does it feel?"
Hey man. Best of luck in your (our) anonymity.
To be on your own!
Pure poetry.
Brilliant 🙏
As soon as that guitar starts playing at the start, I get goosebumps. You truly can feel the world changing in that moment
for sure, this song hit like a nuclear bomb.
( I do miss that organ opening tho)
Bloomfield is pure Genius on that Tele
And the folkies at Newport rioted for three days
How lol he didn’t even sell that many records
Like a skilled surgeon, Bob Dylan knew how to cut through all the flesh and reach right into your soul and tug on it like no other.
And still can.. he's just too good ,he's gonna outlive them all . I bet..
are you some kind of poet
@@gavinmcdonald9959 I have written quite extensively. But Bob is a great poet!
Historically perhaps the most iconic Dylan performance. Mesmerizing.❤
Still probably the greatest lyrics ever written, absolutely astonishing, almost defies belief. 😮😮
Agreed
Dylan goes electric the rest is history, little did people know what they were witnessing
You got that right....history big time!! Arguably the most influential songwriter/poet of this generation.
yes we did
Saw him at the Royal Festival Hall in London that year. A lot of people came for the Folk Dylan and booed. Man is a genius. The poet of a generation.
ま
Imagine going to a country music festival and hearing Rap Delight.
“Don’t criticize what you can’t understand.”
My old man loved Bob Dylan. Now I understand why my dad was so cool.
That’s awesome Daniel...
Imagine Michelangelo being asked to paint the Sistine Chapel every night, or Van Gogh asked to paint "Starry Night" every night...that's what musicians are asked to do every night on tour; "repaint" their masterpieces...act like trained seals. No wonder Dylan had such an attitude with the press and the public. The fact he's survived 60 years in the music business in the face of such scrutiny is testament to his work ethic.
Imagine a plumber being asked to hook up another new toilet. Or a bricklayer being asked to lay another new brickwall. It's called a job for a reason.
@@bradsanders407 Are you seriously comparing writing one of the greatests songs ever, its lyrics and perform to building a brick wall?
I think that's why Dylan changes up the arrangements to his songs. I've never heard him perform the same song the same way twice!
I saw Dylan at the Hollywood Bowl a few months after this Newport performance. I was 16, stole my mom's '65 Impala from our summer rental in Newport Beach, gripped the wheel and somehow drove I-5 North to the Hollywood Bowl exit to see Dylan. There was an intermission after about 1 hour. Then a bunch of people came on the stage. Ten minutes in I asked the adults next to me if they knew when Dylan would be coming back on. They said, "That IS Dylan... with THE BAND"... wow. Ok... I was there when he made that transition from his genius folk period to THE BAND and his electric period... so cool.
Bob Dylan and the biggest song in the history.
Voted Number 1 by "Rolling Stone Magazine" for some strange reason......................... ;-)
🤔
If not the biggest it certainly goes among teh top 10 - globally
There will never be anyone like him again, a real legend.
You know he’s still alive, right?
Sadly, all but two of the members of The Band (Bob's backing band at the time) are not with us... only Robbie Robertson (guitar) and Garth Hudson (keyboards) are still with us.
Except for all the people inspired by him who sound a lot like him
That's because Bobby made a pat with the big guy. He's just covering his end of the deal
One of the best songs....ever written.
The best maybe?
Blowing in the wind, The hour the ship comes in, Don't think twice, Desolation Row, Highway 61 the list goes on and on. Personally I don't think Like a Rolling Stone fits in the top 5 of his songs much less ever written. And that is just a very short list of his songs.
maybe the best R&R song.
@@wolfgangvonscheisskopf545dylan had consistently written so many great songs it really just comes down to preference about which song you prefer more . Personally for me "it's alright ma" and "changing of the guards" define his peak songwriting . Tangled up in blue too
Perhaps the best !!
We are SO PRIVILEGED to have lived in the time of Dylan... I was extra lucky to be invited in 1972 to an after party in his motel room with Janis Ian, Maria Muldaur and a few other fellow folkies hanging out with Bobby. Such a genius. He sang 2:10 train for us. I understood my privilege in that moment.
Wow! What an experience. Lucky you!
Bob Dylan is that man who became my best friend without even having to ever meet him.
Great artists always do what they think they have to do, not what people want them to do.
Every once in a while life takes a turn for the worse and humbles me. Dylan is timeless, like a rolling stone. Legend.
The greatest folk/rock poet of my generation.
I was there! Saw it, incredible!
Wow, really? You have to be so old then
@@hank9997
Yep, I'm 74 years old now. Drove down from Ottawa Canada to Newport RI. I was a big Dylan fan then, and also roots music, seeing all the old blues artist, Mississippi John Hurt, Sun House etc.
I saw Dylan again in 1966 when he performed in Ottawa Canada, I had a front row seat!
@@JimMaisonneuve-ri9vg thats super cool
@@hank9997 shut up lmao
@@YungStinkyWinky it wasn’t meant to be offensive
This video and footage is a gift to humanity. Thank god for this being unblocked! Let’s hope it stays that way.
LMAO, he is now selling all of his songs to universal music
Thank you, Palpatine.
Listening to this song gives me UNLIMITED POWER!
@@wdlaw4204 lol
Poor windu:(
One of the top ten greatest songs of all time....word.
I am just incredibly thankful and joyous that I lived in his time. Everything about Zimmie punctuates my life, articulates my face, fills my dreams.
Perhaps the most defining song of the 1960s. It takes me back to a time of turmoil that was yet filled with hope and promise. This man could write some poetry! He fully deserved that Nobel Prize for Literature.
Actually, he won it. Check it out.
POETRY for sure!
The film crew had a good day that day. They captured the moment well, brilliant footage and angles of this historic performance.
Yep, and how about that stereo sound mix? Pretty impressive for that era.
...except all bandmates were in full shadows, and not a hint of a solo from some of the best instrumentalists of that era. Bob is a great songwriter, but sucks on many other levels.
@@brahmburgers You know nothing of his work.
@@irishace11 I'm 69, I grew up with Dylan's music and lots more. People call me 'A Walking Jukebox' because I know so many hundreds of songs from that era. Dylan is great in some ways, but there are other facets to him.
The reason for that was that he was the absolute darling of the Newport crowds. Watch the videos. They commonly shouted other acts down because they wanted “Bobby”. Plus it was hardly sophisticated film making.
One of the most memorable events in music history. The song that changed music history. Every musician who came after him was influenced by Dylan.
@Birdwatching754 Amen voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as probably the best rock song. You can never pin Bob into a specific genre though. I would have hopped a train to be there if at 7yrs old I could have .
Having Mike Bloomfield on guitar certainly is awesome. He was considered a freaking good player.
And it was at this moment when Bob Dylan, a college dropout from Duluth, Minnesota, conquered the world at the age of 25.
The moment music changed forever.
How? im uneducated
@@miamibeach8814 This was the first time that Bob Dylan, known as a folk musician who accompanied himself with an acoustic guitar, played live with an electric guitar and an electrified band. Folk purists saw it has him selling out and playing pop (rock) music, and he opened the door for pop musicians to not only make music that sounded good, but had meaningful and thoughtful lyrics.
Until this song came out most recordings lasted just over two minutes in length. This really was an industry changer.
Dyan wrote long songs before this one....
@@dustinday4188 exactly on both Times are a Changin album and Freewheelin
@@dustinday4188 maybe he's talking about Rock music in particular. Cuz every Dylan album before this was folk
@@dustinday4188 yeah but none had the success that like a rolling stone had, it topped the charts and was played a lot so it paved the way for other long songs
im sorry but haitian fight song is 12min long and it was releases in 57???
For me, this is required daily listening.
Love you Bob.
"When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose" 🎶
You're watching the world change in six minutes and 12 seconds.
I've heard the same thing about The Times They Are A-Changing.
@@monstrousbytommywalker3700 but thats less than six minutes...
Better to turn it off now and again,get lost for a while ✌💞🎸🎶🔥
Agree. It is nice to relive History.
the world changes every six minutes and 12 seconds
And just like that, the musical world shifted on its axis. A moment in time that will never be repeated.
❤Ihanaa
I really love how on just about every old Dylan video I watch the comments are always friendly, appreciative, and respectful. Thanks folks.
Simply the greatest composer of all time. Genius.!!!
Him or John Lennon IMHO
or Mozart, I don't know...
@@massony_pattisony lennon 😴😴😴
I used to hear only his nasal twang but can now I’m older I appreciate his musicianship, the way his vocals break into the instrumentals with timing timing, and his wonderful breath control.
I love that nasal twang
@@ashleyvanerp5910 Yeah here where he's determined you can make out every word,but if you listen to him on Letterman from'92 it's just a mess..many words are unintelligible. Like when I saw him in'86 and 2000.
Timing reminds me of Willie Nelson but I have to agree with Vern about his later performances. Saw him at Jazz Fest and it wasn't anywhere near the Dylan I wanted or expected.
Yes and a bit like rap at times
He always adapted his delivery to the style that the song required. Listen to Lay Lady Lay as an example of just how differently he could sing.
Search for the book about recording the song. The song is miraculous, but so
is the specific recording. Apparently it worked like a miracle on one particular
take, but never before or after on other takes. As we know the renowned recording, it is
amazing musical perfection, starting with the iconic drum hit, and the moving organ part
by Al Kooper, and Mike Bloomfield's jaw dropping guitar, and of course Bob's seering vocals
that tell this timeless story. I love hearing this song live, but to me , the real gift we received
is the recording, which is a portal into a different world. Yeah Bob! Happy 80th Birthday!
I’ve never heard another band do a decent job of covering this song, it’s almost as if the lyrics don’t fit, yet on the recording it’s absolute MAGIC and fits more perfectly than anything on earth 🌍
Greil Marcus wrote the definitive book on this song.
Paul Griffin's piano part, missing from this live track, was a key too, as his playing was on many of Dylan's early studio tracks. It's lack is what makes this Newport performance bit skeletal.
One of the most beautiful live song ever
The most incredible troubadour, what a talent to be able to sing the poetry you've written. Huge respect.
Love it!! I am nearly 71....yes I know...a "Boomer".....have to be cliched but this brings me right back to my Teenage years......aged 15 then!!
Me too...wow! Wish I could go back...💓
OK boomer (but in a totally cool and awesome way cos you are amazing)
must’ve been wonderful growing up around such great musicians. im 18 years old and can never get enough of his music. i wish you well
@@tanyatressler3132 She's an artist she don't look back.
We are all old farts, by now...Lol! And, I love it!
I am British loved this man from day one- what's not to love! He spoke, then and I hope now words of truth! AND THEN THERE WAS THE MUSIC ! Oh, I have been so lucky to be able to listen to this!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is always fresh; never gets old!
Another Dylan classic that’s timeless never tire of listening to this
'evident. always listening and watching here. continuously. insistently in this environment '

Totally agree
This song is pure songwriting genius. Love this performance too.
Still amazing after 55 years!! Incredible poetry in song.
55 years? Is it really?
No one instinctively embraces change. Even those who think the art they love is counterculture. They think what they love should be static, frozen in time, unchanging. Like your first kiss, you want it to go on forever. But it can’t. Learning to embrace change is one of the great challenges in life. It opens you up to new possibilities…and yes sometimes change isn’t good…or for the better. There are no promises made except the only thing that never changes, is change itself. Thank you for a lifetime of great music and learning Bob.
Love and agree 100% with your comment. I was a teenager in the 60s saw a lifetime of changes. Learned trying to hang on to any one moment was like trying to grab water. Everything passing slips thru your fingers. We’re lucky or regretful we’re left with wet hands to remind us of that moment
Now Conservatives are the new counter culture 💪🏻
Beautiful comment. Thank you 🙏
I was only 6 years old when this came out but was able to hear it on the radio growing up and always loved it as much as I do today at 62 years old.
Same here. I'm 63 and have always loved this song.
I was 6 years old in 2007. I guess ill be talking about that era to the next generation
My first-hand account:
I was just as excited to hear the sounds of Butterfield booming across the PA as I was with the anticipation of seeing Dylan. Then when I found out they were going to be the back-up band for Dylan, that was the superfecta.
What I remember about the night itself was lining up with all these ragtag people and the chatter that was going on. I wound up being closer to the back, and as you were going up the hill you could hear the unmistakable sounds of the amplified harmonica and the booming bass and Mike Bloomfield’s riffs screaming out.
The anticipation was: What is Dylan going to be blasting us with? It wasn’t the folk purist thing. He was going to be messing with the Holy Grail that the Newport quote-Folk-unquote Festival was supposed to be about.
To me, it was great: “Like a Rolling Stone,” he was belting it out. Then we started to hear these sounds and I thought they were saying, “Down in front!” so they can see what’s going on. It wasn’t what was supposedly reported where the crowd booed the electric guitar numbers.
He’s getting the same reaction now that he did 50 years ago [by regularly rearranging his songs]. To me, as a lifelong fan, it’s all the same thing, a continuum.

Happy Birthday, dear Bob Dylan, poet, artist, voice.
First heard this while on liberty from Navy OCS in a Newport Chevrolet Dealer, over their inside speakers, and it has stuck with ever since. That was fall of 1965. Just turned 80 and never left Continental US.
This song is what made me become a guitar player and performer.
A pivotal moment in popular music history. "Like a Rolling Stone" changed everything. And, oh, those Michael Bloomfield string bends... so smooth.
the definition of ''a sea-change'
How effortlessly does genius work its wonders?
No histrionics, posturing, posing, rock 'n' roll raving; just intense focus on the song, it seems.
Well he sold his soul so it’s not all his genius if you know what I mean 🙃

Yes, that is all that needs to be done.

No one can imitate Bob Dylan-Like a rolling stone as good as the mysterious star
Springsteen? Petty? 🤔
Kids who wanted revolution in everything else were afraid of an electric guitar because Bob evolved faster than they could. Woody knew that when any school of thought becomes a church that it's time to hit the road. Dylan did too.
Woody Guthrie?
This was written and performed legendary.. Top 5 best song ever..
The way Mike Bloomfield comes in at the intro is magical !
the poet laureate of the 21st century..on the way from Newport!...to Nobel! how does it feel? Living Legend!
He was only 24 here? Dylan wrote great songs before he even turned 25..
Only person I think was better was Ronnie Van Zant. But it’s all preference. Bob Dylan was sooo good. Definitely my second favorite.
@@Shaun.OBrien I was lucky enough to see Lynyrd Skynyrd with Ronnie Van Zant at the Flint IMA Auditorium November 5th 1976, it was the one more from the road tour, I was only 13 at the time my dad took me to the concert. It was my third concert my first concert was Foghat and my second concert was Aerosmith Foghat Ted Nugent and the Outlaws for $10 at the Pontiac Stadium
@@Shaun.OBrien I thank God that I got to see Ronnie Van Zant and Steve and Cassie Gaines... and the whole band... what is Strange's Steve Gaines and Ed King were both born on the same day of the same year.... what a coincidence... and they were both fantastic guitar players.. they couldn't have found someone better than Steve Gaines to replace Ed King
All the greats wrote their best work before 30
Dylan wrote great songs when he was barely 20. Where the hell did he find those words? There’s no one in the world like him
I bought this album when it came out in the 1960's. It has a power then blows me away into the music where I am there and loving it and feeling it and living in it now. Paul McCartney when he first bought this record said that he could keep listening to it forever.
Thank you! For some reason this song carried me though dark days of a stroke recovery.
Glad you’re better now Chris
The tones and sound composition is utterly outstanding but you need to make sure you hear Dylan’s lyrics to fully appreciate this masterpiece.
What an outstanding version of one of his greatest songs.
Unbelievable, still gives me chills knowing what's happening off stage 👏👏👏👏👏
Which was…?
Yeah what was it?
I think it might be that people were angry about Bob going electric. He was part of the counterculture but some of his fans saw him going electric as selling out.
I used to do busking in my local city centre back in the 1990s and when I done this one, I used to play the end harmonica piece for about a minute or so, really going for it. It was amazing how my guitar case used to get loads of coins (and notes) dropping in from appreciative watchers who had been gathered around.
I used to do a few Dylan ones and they would always be popular.
Awesome!!! I was 10 in '65. A few years later my father bought me my first guitar and taught me to play. We used to play and sing together, Dylan, Baez, Collins, Mitchell, Cohen, and the list goes on. In a Fogelberg reference he was my Leader of the Band🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶. Miss you Daddy.....
Hi there,how is the weather today?
Greatest song writer of all time...
The Rolling Stones are still rocking today!!!! Talk about being good even past your expiration date. Sweet!!!!
What a truly fortunate individual we’re are to be a first person witness to musical history.
his vocals r amazing
Tremendous 👍
This is wonderful! He’s a bloody GENIUS! I’m 67 and heard him all my life. He’s a One off
Am 67 too and feel so blessed that we grew up listening to this. What hope for today's young?
I was there.. 17 years old, just graduated high school.. loved every minute.
Hope you are having a perfect time over there with this wonderful songs, it is really interesting.
i just turned 15 on the 8th in jan this year, only me and a few of my buds are the only teens we have met that know and love dylan, beatles, the stones, artists like that.
Considering what everyone else was writing songs and singing about in 65 this was pretty heavy. Even the Beatles and Stones were not there yet. Also gotta love those one-take recordings. 🎸🤯
The Beatles and stones never ever got to this level of writing. They focussed on other things and did them well but never ever produced anything like this lyrically and in terms of impact.
Dylan was writing on a far deeper and heavier level than anyone else at the time, and he influenced all of them profoundly.
@@georgecoventry8441 Yes. He also was using language in a way that hadn’t been done.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 Gimme Shelter , Sympathy for the Devil , Street Fighting Man ... Very deep texts from a time in the sixties that was considered controversial depending who you were, black or white ? Beatles had some also , but more about emotions- But sure Bob Dylan was/are a superb writer ..
@@robertolsson5814 there wasn’t the poetry or originality in the stones’ lyrics of Dylan or even close frankly. With the stones it wasn’t about the words was it.
changed many lives, including my own. its hard to imagine not knowing these words. what an incredibly good film!!
As a lover of R&B this song has so much soul. Gives me the goosies.
I was 2 when this song came out.
An all time classic that will never grow old. Can relate to the lyrics. Fighting as hard as I can to not be homeless again
He played the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2006 after Katrina.We didn't know if Jazz Fest was going to even happen that year. A lot of us were displaced, and homeless. Bob came, and when he played this song everyone was hugging, and crying because it hit so close to home. It was a religious, magical experience. Springsteen also came, and did The Seeger Sessions for the first time.That was the same experience.I always liked them both, but when they both showed up to give us succor, and comfort, in my eyes they both became heroes to a fragile, and battered city. God Bless them both. Hang in there, my friend.
He's so fantastic it hurts.
2021 right now. We love you Bobbie D.
I wish I could have been bless to see him but I was 13 by 19 I was living the life in Bay Area I was enjoying the greatest poet and now at 71 my heart beat with all the good feeling and love he gave our generation we were the best no killing but trying to express our selves and bring free thank u Tube for being able to go back ❤❤❤❤
Iconic. A guy with a guitar, with a single light above his head, revolutionising the world of music. Great stuff!
