I like the live version from 1965 where he goes "I turned on my record player....it was...donovan...who ever that was". The whole crowd erupted into laughter.

Imagine a kid writing this in1964. Noone touches Bob's songwriting skills..NOBODY

*_I wonder if those people there then realised that were in the presence of such utterly staggering greatness ..._*

What a precious soul! We are so lucky to see these. He's genius was already full on. We are so lucky to have him with us.

it's easy to forget how effortlessly Bob Dylan merges voice guitar and harmonica into his songs

My favourite Dylan is '65/'66, but man his folk era is pure mythology.

Bless him, he aint changed none. Respect.

Dylan’s songwriting skills were practicality other worldly. When he was asked where those amazing lyrics came from, he said , “If you listen to words like these: Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fools gold mouthpiec,” Dylan said, “Well there’s no way I cane up with words like that .” He was asked, “Well then who write them.” He replied, “ I made a deal with God.” He didn’t say. “God,” but it seemed pretty obvious. His greatness is unequaled.

Precious and priceless and I love how Bob gets these occasional little smiles while singing like he's just so tickled. Big Thanks to ya, Swinging Pig, and all those that help you get these gifts to us Bob fans.

Thanks for the memories and forwarning of things. Onward!

Well Bob. your vision my be coming true now.

Conelrad...now THAT'S a blast from the past!!!

What an absolute GEM this person has become!

Same year i first heard Bob Dylan - 1964. Loved everything Dylan, since. "I'll let you be in my dream ... if i can be in your's".

Gosh- this is amazing- 1961 before he was famous- what wit great presentation

I'm totally blown away

A strange idea for a music video, Bob singing at a table of card playing lumberjacks. Thanks Swinging Pig for your excellent content. ❤️

Thanks a lot Swingin'!

Thanks! What a treat to see such a genius so young.

...I love this song...

Amazing footage of a amazing man thank you my friend love from England

Best. Channel. Ever

He is my refuge. I'm going to see him very soon.

Thanks for preserving these recordings and making them available for us. Long may you continue!

gracias dear 💃🏻🐖 i always had the idea that in his later years he would play like that again alone with a guitar🥳 but i love his band and they need work too!

Pretty good archival footage of Bob Dylan. Cheers!

Dylan is the greatest

LUV This Pic of Young Bobby Dylan xxx

Absolutely unique.

Wow .. thank you for your work!

so cool

PRICELESS!!!

Thanks so much for restoring and posting. This is priceless footage - so unique. Most people still had Black and White TVs then - only wealthy people had the 1st color TVs. The stage sets for the singing performances were so funny when looking back 60 years. Yesterday I was watching an early Beach Boys performance on Ed Sullivan, and they were singing "I Get Around" in front of 3 "Classic Cars" that older teens worked on the open top front engine which was "cool" then and boys paraded around in to show off and to pick up girls. The stage settings seem surreal to me over a half century later.

Clever AF this young man

Great

Hmm, this just appeared. For some reason I'm not getting notifications. Oh well! Better late than never! Thanks, SP!

Thanks a lot for this one. I’ve been searching this for decades!

Just brilliant

This is one early music video.

Awesome 👏🏻

😂😂😂 Thank you for this! It seems the crowd in the in the table weren't all too pleased at first, but got into it as the song progressed!

i let you be in my dreams in you let me in yours, i said that

Thanks Swingin’ 🎶🧡🎶

Great stuuff, thank you!

This is what The Ed Sullivan Show missed out on. (I mean, they did get The Beatles a couple weeks after this so it's not like they were in bad shape, but still!)

wow THANK YOU for posting , i was born june 64 , ive dug listening to bob since b4 i was born !!! MR dylan and MR CASH ,,, my dad turned me onto MR cash, and all he left me was an old guitar ,, and afew words of wisdom .

Amazing! . . . (This was recorded on my 1st birthday.) :)

THANKBU SO MUCH-- IS WONDERFUL

The sale on plaid shirts was timed perfectly

@Swingin' Pig - Thanks for you hard work and dedication in preserving history

Great job !

Swingin’ Your sure this is 1964 not 1962 or 1963? Dylan does look so young here! I love this! There are more songs he did like this, wasn’t it? Thanks so much SP🌹👌

That guitar is a Gibson Nick Lucas 13 fret because it is Dylan’s guitar it’s priceless

again and again thank you

Fyukin brilliiant

The best video clip 👋🎸🎶

Bobby is a BORN Entertainer & LOVES PPL. A VERY G O O D AMERICAN! Just A- A--MAZING..Like a TIME Capsule too. PERFECT XXX

that man with 2 cigarettes, smoking one and the other on his right ear, It has been yonks since I saw anyone using his ears to support a cigarette, and our dear friend and the best adviser in this world bobby Dyland sing his songs, keeping us on our toes, keeping us alert

Thanks @ swingin pig, you have never uploaded anything that I don't dig ✌️❤️🎶

Feel like I stopped in for coffee at Jack Kerouac's pad

Interesting to see the interaction with that table of card players. They were clearly into it and got the jokey lines, such as, “Let’s go play Adam and Eve,” and “A good car to drive ~ after a war!”

Great song

maravilloso .

you can tell he thought this crazy staging was ridiculous.

"Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man. Shotgun fired and away I ran." Unforgettable

Talkin' World War III...

👏👏👏👏🌟💚

Just fuckin awesome (I said that)

So cool that he’s playing the Nick Lucas

What amazes me about this is in just a few months Dylan was turning his back on the protest movement scene with ASOBD and My Back Pages and It Ain't me Babe. He moved so fast back then.

Love

yep a one off xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Woah woah woah 😍😍😍

Yup. This war is a bad dream

Hauntin' : " Well , now time passed and now it seems / Everybody's having them dreams/ Everybody sees their self walkin' around with no one else/ ..let you be in my dreams If I can be in your's....simple and true their will be no war anymore..Bob Dylan forever

Ants won't leave me alone

💋

I think his genius (an error maybe) in the early days of his career was to develope a caracter more than having only good songs (i don't say they are bad -they were just different by choice). Despite being label the "protest singer", there was a real diversity of topics covered in his second LP: I mean, he wasn't a 100% protest singer. Yes, he had protest songs (Blowin in the wind, Master of War and Hard Rain) but he also talked about nostalgia (Girl from the North Country, Bob Dylan's Dream), his heartbreak (Don't think twice, Corrina Corrina) and he was very funny (Honey Just allow me, Shall be Free). To me, The song (Talkin WWIII Blues) is very clever cause it's at the crossroad between a funny song and a protest one. those funny songs (less craft than a song like Hard Rain obviously) are quite underestimated and played, to my mind, a huge part of his success cause they helped him introduction himself to his audience. He was able with that to create an personnal link with his audience stronger than his songs. Therefore, in his concert, he was able to move people and then make them laugh in a matter of minutes. (Bootleg 6 - amazing performance for example) But, by creating this personnal link with his audience the problem was that they were now 2 different things: Bob Dylan and the idea of Bob Dylan (created by his fans). And his fans went nuts with the "Voice of the Generation" idea (kind of a cult of personnality in a way) in 65-66 and he boldly went against them.

I’m wondering where this was filmed? Great video, thank you!

...I read somewhere that he said..."I use words like mathematicians use numbers"...can't remember where, so I can't cite a source...

Love the harp got more? Don’t mean to be greedy but I’m feeling still a lot more Canadian French than usual! 😎❤️

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁

Where did all those years go.....plenty of fighting and dying but no WWlll......yet.

Hey this kid ain't bad

Tell me about it,dreamwise

Woody Guthrie's influence . Talking Blues. Talking Dust Bowl Blues.

🌈 are we not lucky Bob never gave up to the mob of hate ta swinging pig☕🎢

The song is like a Twilight Zone episode!

nobody like him around anymore with the lyrics he produced.

Wonder where this cabin was?

Notice how great that guitar sounds. Sadly today the old spruce groves are gone and todays acoustic guitars just don't sound as good. Maybe after they get some age on 'em, they'll sound better.

2:00 Matt Dillons dad is jealous of and feels threatened by Bobs talent and genuiness of expression.. For he himself knows he is incapable of conveying the realness of humanity with such a compelling display.

I wonder if he’s lip syncing

So as the cost of war becomes a suicide risk

Why TF did Adam call his band The Ants
