I knew it would be a cold day in hell before anyone could put as much feeling into that song as Mr. Dylan.... I was right. It looks cold as hell and this musician nails this song! Love it! 👏👏👏
Check out Johnny Rivers cover! Dylan said this about it "The Johnny Rivers one was my favourite. It was obvious that we were from the same side of town, had been read the same citations, came from the same musical family and were cut from the same cloth."
it blows my mind how many people just walk on by without even listening for a minute..but I guess not everyone LOVES music as much as US if u are reading this...
@@m9j263 Haha! I've actually been to New York and busked in Central and Washington Parks (among other places): to my knowledge, there's NOWHERE like this location in NY! This is Lincoln in England, and the Stone Archway (called Stonebow) I'm performing in front of was built in the 15th century! Lol 😝🙏🏿❤️ xx
I'd rather see and hear this brother every day of the week than anyone you'd pay $500 for. Stunning performance of one of my all time favorite songs. Thank you, sir, your music negates the flurry of dim humanoids in the frame and brings light and joy to the street instead.
Watching all those automatons passing by is further proof that the age when this beautiful song was written could have been a hundred years ago and on another planet. Well done Phil because you have thousands of people on TH-cam who are NOT walking by but are admiring your truly excellent performance. Thank you for your talent and soul.
WOW! Thanks for the great feedback!... I've not been following my TH-cam channel closely for awhile (posting mainly to Facebook.com/MUSICMANphilgray); so it came as a surprise when my brother emailed to inform me that this video is performing so well! Thanks to my friend Paul Bescoby who filmed it way back when! :-D xxx
Thanks! I don't normally reply; because it's so long ago since I posted this, I forget it's up here (and don't always check my ALL my emails). Of all my posts, I think this has probably had the most views and positive comments; which surprises me, because I "fluff up" at the end and get the words wrong! However, I pleased if it gives Dylan fans some satisfaction. :-D x
@@phil9028 I just wanted to say that I cannot understate how important this video is to me. You were one of the reasons I started playing guitar and harmonica. Seeing you cover a classic Dylan song with harmonica really inspired me. God bless you. Thank you.
Wow this video is 9 yrs old and I’m loving it what a great performance all those people that are just walking by have no clue how fortunate they are to have this free performance. Thank you, great job 👏and an extra star for a Dylan song
This is the best cover of my favourite Dylan song I have ever heard ! I would love you to do a full set of Dylan classics and I would definitely buy a CD - Well done !
It's a very difficult song to do at the best of time let alone with just two instruments, I love this song and this guy did it ends justice, it's a shame that so many ingnorant people where around at that time, in another city at a different time he would have creamed it, a very worthwhile effort from him to say the least!
I would not have been one of the people walking by without even stopping. I would have shared the mic! I’ve been listening to this song since it was released many years ago.
It was not a drag to see or hear this unique cover of a great Dylan song. Thanks for doing it and posting it. I'd love to hear you do Desolation Row or Absolutely Sweet Marie.
Thanks Raku! It's very strange; I think when I left for Israel last year, views of this video stood around 47,000 (?). When I returned, I think they may have gone up by a few hundred (I'll check the analytics later. But after posting a video on 16 October, 2023, filmed by Rick in Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem; views of THIS video (already my most viewed by a long way) seemed to "take off!" It's inexplicable, because it had been on the channel for 8 years already. I'm guessing TH-cam changed their algorithm; or are promoting it because it serves its purpose - followers of my channel have almost doubled in the past 3 months; and many of them a new to TH-cam. Anyhow, it's gratifying if people are entertained by the performance; which is of course the reason for posting it! 🙂 xx
Bob Dylan changed popular song for ever. He showed that you could sing about anything, any way and that what was personal to you could be universal for others. This is a really great cover version. It looks like it was very cold where you were singing this. I admire the acoustic guitar work, particularly under the circumstances. Thank you for sharing !
you my friend just blew me away with your rendition of this classic song. just remember that there are lots of people like me that appreciate your talent thanks you made my day.!!
here it is 8 years later and i find you on yt sidelines .. so glad i saw you there and played your bob dylan's song - great job and performance - you have great persona .. thanks ..~
My comment basically echoes the comment that just appeared as I went to comment. I’m also surprised by all the people who just walk on by without taking a pause to listen to your rendition of this amazing song. If I was there I would have stopped to listen to this melodious tune and it’s words of wisdom

Broke,
Thanks for the tip! 👍

all ears99 I would have stopped in my tracks.
People are oblivious most of the time, all into themselves.He was spectacular!
They're on their way to work.
i wouldn’t be able to walk past without listening to the whole song
all ears99 because you know people have lives like lol
No rock song ever was dripping with as much anger and sarcasm. This gentlemen really nails it!
He's absolutely incredible. I wish him well.
They see him on the street and ignore a brilliant musician and the most brilliant of songs. What has become of us. 😢
So many people just not getting the beauty of this precious moment & beautiful song ... wake up people 😍🤩
Why aren't more ppl on the street stopping this cover is amazing
Nothing personal. New Yorkers have tunnel vision
@@futurereflections4097 is in New York? Doesn't seem at all.
Seems England or Scotland …. And yes … I agree about people being so unaware of this wonderful musician

Bob would love this version. Well done!
I've been listening to Bob Dylan and covers of his songs for over 50 years. This is one of the best I've ever heard. Well done!
One of my favourite Dylan songs ever, great cover mate.
Mine to ..
I would have tipped the hell out of him.
+PDXCrimeCleaner Me too!!!
Incredible. Bob Dylan is hard to do. I'd have given him all my money!

I don't think the average person understands the talent, dedication, or the confidence this requires
They might be treating their depression. Just that.
“You’d know what a drag it is to see you”. Best Dylan line ever !✌️💙💙💙
‘Most of the time’ is also great
@@LeslieLane-w2umost of the time Im clear focused all around
You just stood there grinnin'
@@patakigeo you gotta lot of nerve
You just wanna be on the side thats winnin'..
This Gentleman is so gifted and talented. I would certainly tipped this man for his playing.
Most definitely
For bloody sure ❤
that harmonica is sublime

Phil, where was this location?
PhilJGray you are very talented and I'm glad you have a TH-cam sight. You must be a Bob Dylan follower like myself.. Looking forward to hearing more
Thanks for this version, and the street location is awesome with people going about their business.
Lincoln, Lincolnshire UK
Good shit man !! That was awesome
Wonderfully unique and yet it stays true to that original feeling, like a first time listen once more.

Listen to this cover by Simply Red. He KILLS it. 🎼🎶
Fantastic version of my favourite Dylan song.
I really enjoyed this, it took me back to when I felt like all was lost and then realized my body was still holding some bones
It's a very difficult song to do at the best of time let alone with just two instruments, I love this song and this guy did it ends justice, it's a shame that so many ingnorant people where around at that time, in another city at a different time he would have creamed it, a very worthwhile effort from him to say the least!

i would've loved to stop by and play my tambourine to your music. maybe I'll get to see u one day
Awesome version. Thank you sir!
scrolling through covers of this song. lucinda williams does a damn good one but absolutely love this.
