No one ever says this, but Dylan must have a phenomenal memory to retain all those long, long, convoluted lyrics by heart and give them back in concert. He still does this well into his '70s.
Coming from someone who plays and sings it is pretty impressive. Ny memory is absolute shit but somehow when I just speak the words come out right so maybe that’s how he felt too. When you practice them a couple times I think it becomes muscle memory but it’s different for everyone
From what I've read and know about Bob Dylan, I wouldn't class it as "memory" in the traditional sense of the word. He says (and I believe him) that by the time he comes to write a song out for the first time he already knows it all in his head. When answering your very query he said that the lyrics are visual to him, so I guess he doesn't have to track through them line by line like the rest of us. I think what puts him above all other songwriters and poets etc is that his poetry is born out of performance, listening and playing in turn. Perfectly matching the written poetry of the beats to the rhythms of folk and blues music surely stands as one of music's great moments. Maybe the closest thing the 20th century had to Homer
Welcome aboard youngsters. May we all try our best to follow in his footsteps. A rather sad tip- you don't have to bother with anything he did after Blood on the Tracks, except Planet Waves. But there's enough before to last a lifetime.
@@stealthsadhu306 I disagree. As a 15 year old I'm absolutely in love with Desire, Street Legal and Oh Mercy. (And Planet Waves! Which was released before BOTT) There's a lot to discover after his best!
@deceitfulviper But wait! THERE'S MORE! The Basement Tapes will blow your mind. And there's Time Out Of Mind, Love & Theft...enjoy your journey, and please go see him live. He's always on tour, and it's cheap at any price... It'll change your life.
The lyrics and music remind me of a surreal nightmare where nothing quite makes sense and clarity is just out of reach and there's no escape. Unsettling brilliance
I've always thought it was 10 years ahead of it's time, a song about an anonymous man (Mr. Jones) walking into a gay "tea room" where men are engaged in various sex acts. Someone is naked, someone is a sword swallower, someone hands someone else a bone. Meanwhile Dylan is ripping the hypocrisy of a society that pretends this scene doesn't exist.
@John Walsh What a fascinating interpretation. I did once read Ginsberg introduced Bob to the underground homosexual culture that was thriving throughout Europe in the 1960s. Like you say, maybe Bob is letting us peak through the curtain into a world very few would have experienced. When I read your comment Kubrick came to mind, seems like a surreal scene from one of his films. Amazing how Bob can still blow our minds even now, it must have been truly revolutionary at the time!
In March 1986, Dylan told his audience in Japan: "This is a song I wrote a while back in response to people who ask me questions all the time. You just get tired of that every once in a while. You just don't want to answer no more questions. I figure a person’s life speaks for itself, right? So, every once in a while you got to do this kind of thing, you got to put somebody in their place... So this is my response to something that happened over in England. I think it was about '63, '64. Anyway the song still holds up. Seems to be people around still like that. So I still sing it. It's called 'Ballad Of A Thin Man'."
Thank you so much for this information ha yeah i thought he was making an idiot for people ya no just where do they get it from 😂it doesn't matter what you think he changed that 😂
Yep Mr Bob told them what it is...if they ever known that who knows..tatatat Tata teenie tiny teenie weenie i really don't think so..pickle pipe a pepper 😂
The phrase: 'He doesn't suffer fools easily' was made for Bob Dylan - don't try to sneak any inauthenticity past him, you'll get blown into a trillion pieces.
this whole video is like a superimposition of the future onto the past...which was then the present. No wonder they booed...who had ever seen anything like this...or heard.///and once you do hear the words they stick in your ears for about 60 years until the future finally gets here,
This guy inspired The Beatles to go 'deeper.' Think about that. This cat was ahead of The Beatles. Bob just goes pure poetic prophet on this one, just IMO. And that's one of many things I love about Dylan... There will be uncountable different opinions on this very same song. God bless Bob Dylan, man. Yeah. God bless Robert Zimmerman from Minnesota.
Dylan also turned them on in terms of pot, which changed their music tremendously, and in a wonderful way. Getting into that encouraged them to think more deeply, more profoundly, and we know how it went from there. Bob was a bit older as well, so they looked up to him. He had a big impact on them, musically.
@@lescobrandon4586 ... That's simply playing into what Dylan said in an interview about selling his soul. But if you know anything about Dylan, you know he played with the media. Not infrequently he made up stuff for the media to feed on. In fact, this is what song is about: "You know something is happening, but you don't what it is, do you Mr Jones?"
Definitely, don't believe is a self portrait. The lyrics seems to be about someone he has forced to engage to and despise. Maybe a journalist or a music critic.
The Master at work. Still have my Blonde on Blonde album that I bought in 1966. I was 14yrs old. Still sounds great. Timeless. Thank you. God bless you. 💗➕💗😇
I saw him play and sing this at Berkeley Community Theater in 1965. It chilled me to the bone then, and it chills me to the bone now. I close my eyes and see him leaning in, hunched over, hair tangled, fingers plucking the keys. Down my spine it goes.
Seeing Garth Hudson so young (at 4:51) took me aback for a second. My image of him is usually his The Band look - bigger stature, heavier set, huge beard - but this is probably shortly after The Hawks time. Guy's a legend.
Not quite enough credit is given to that hammond organ playing. Atmospheric, dark, improvised melodic lines, that compliment wonderfully between each of Dylans surreal lines. One of the most ground-breaking moments in pop history on film.
I love how his melodic cadence is completely different than the studio version, but sounds just as cool which, to me, is a clear indication that he improvises these lines both live and in the studio. Genius.
Bob's shot at the press, who blasted him for going electric ..."you walk into the room with a pencil in your hand, (the press)..you see somebody naked and say who is that man, "(Bob feeling vulnerable during the interview , and the reporter has no clue about him or his music/Art).....54 years later and this GREAT song still holds up! Great vid!!!!!
OMG. Here is Dylan's greatness, unalloyed. That he could once rise to this peak, burn and tremble so brightly, thanks to this, will go on forever. A timeless moment in the history of Western art.
I have played this particular piece on TH-cam maybe close to a hundred times. However, when I hit the play button this morning, it did not disappoint… The energy, excitement and yes, even anger returns and resonates with a spiritual shower raining on my soul that reminds me who I am, who they are, and one of my many purposes to keep the faith in life, and to hopefully never forget all the blessings life continues to deliver through the artistic talent of Dear Bob🙏
I was born in 1966. And now my 19 year old son has turned me into a Dylan fan. We saw him 2 months ago he wasn’t even the youngest kid there. You can learn from kids if you let yourself.
Peak Dylan. My favorite period. And Garth- genius playing. Been listening, watching from Day One. This defined his essence for me, the apex of rock music, no musician or band, no matter how loud or how many amplifiers, made a bigger sound than this.

It's great how you put this together. The distorted black and white of the film, and this ghostly slender figure playing this funeral-like song that encompasses his appearance, wandering a house in ruins, it's so surreal and mysterious.
...Can't say enough about this incredible song and stupendous performance. I'm glad a song of this imagination and power exists . He needed to blast it out ...and he did. I love that piano re-enforcement. Watch his hands..they are made for piano and he's making it his own... He is grace here.. beauty, gentleness and ferocity. So original..
The words of this song (poem) don’t resonate with me at all, yet I feel like it was written for this moment of my life. This is the only song that gives me goosebumps every.single.fking.time. And tears to my eyes.
For me the summit of the 66 tour! Everything is perfect! The intro with the piano of Bob and the guitar of Robbie, the loud drumming of Mickey Jones, the outstanding and subtle organ of Garth, the solid bass guitar of Rick, and of course the wild and inspired singing of Bob on his incredible mysterious but meaningful text! Really a summit and a revolutionary piece of rock music 🎶 🤩!
j'ai écouté cette chanson des xxxx fois depuis près de 60 ans enfin un témoignage d'une énergie à pleurer de rires Fantastique ! merci pour ce partage.
there are very very few people that can deliver such intensity and commitment onstage. I can only think of Jimi Hendrix and Howlin Wolf, but even they are half-hearted in comparison. How could anybody not love this performance?
Dear Swingin Pig - What a brilliant job, mixing disparate videos and audios together. You've created the best ever 66 Thin Man, bar none. Dylan fans will know how many choices you've made to create this, and how astute those choices are - a hundred times better than 'I'm Not There', for a start... Thank you SO much, it's hugely appreciated. What a f----ing masterpiece.
Boys and girls!! Do y’all even know who is playing behind him?! That looks like the band! First footage I’ve come across where I’ve seen them back him. So freaking cool
Asher Fairbanks - Hmm well - considering they were Dylan’s backing group at the time - makes it absolutely no surprise whatsoever that he is being backed by The Band ! Any fool knows this.
Riki Newton I was being sarcastic and highlighting something I think is very cool. Maybe someone scrolling through the comments didn’t know such information! Thank you for the reply 😌
And this is why I have loved Bob Dylan since I was six years old, my mom and dad were young when they had me and music was always playing in our house, so I grew up listening to Bob, and we have tickets to see him in 3 weeks. I love him and his incredible wordsmith music.
@@likearollingstone007 It was a very good Outlaw Festival. Bob’s band was super tight, his vocal cords are shot through, unfortunately, or he was having trouble with his voice. Still a great show, he played piano, a black shiny Grand Piano 🎹.
This is EPIC!! omg what a terrific editing job. Thank you so much~ probably the very first punk rock piano performance. Bobby on the edge. Gotta love that kid in the glasses at 3:33, he gets it.
🙏If I did not subscribe before, I would do so within 10 seconds. Only today [2023/12/26] did this clip reach my retinas and eardrums. Reason for me to celebrate with the following inscription: "Thank you everyone, for since decades I have longed to be able to enjoy recordings of this most authentic possible ."
We gotta keep these old Dylan videos up! Really, sincerely mean that. Thank you for posting. These recordings, they're so insane, haunting, amazing, and should (and will) outlast and 'out win' most singer songwriters(ing) of any generation inspired to write and perform what they perceive and deal with on the inside and attempt to poetically express. I know we like Bowie, Bruce, Led Zeppelin, the Clash, PJ, but Jesus, all of them know this man. Jesus knows this man. Thank you. And that film and it's soundtrack, thank God for Martin Scorsese.
That was a nice job putting those pieces together to make a great video. Thanks for doing that because this is the best "new" video that I've seen on You Tube in a long time!
It was a wild time. cool to see little glimpes of TheBand! So young. Dylan loved the boos and conflicks, Ive heard him say in interviews. The more boos the better...for breaking the box some were trying to keep him in.
I think what the British people missed is that the ‘60’s were a rough time in America. A lot happened politically and socially and I think Dylan was feeling that and put it to music. Sure he changed and went electric but the times were changing. He just knew and went with it.. he was too talented to stick to just singing topical songs on a acoustic guitar..
Sure it was. British people were under government rations until 1958 and couldn't get enough dairy products to live on or feed their children because the British government was forced into rationing these imports in order to make sure that no one in the country starved. This is why, perhaps, you find that many British people of the older generation have bad teeth. This was also due to the fact that dental care was expensive and only the rich could afford to have braces.
One of the things that's get glossed over is that Dylan only got popular in around 1965 in the UK. All of his acoustic music was in the charts during this tour. So a lot of people expected that Dylan to show up. But then again, some people probably were mad that he "sold out" or whatever
Sitting in the second row April 22 Adelaide "Palais Royal Theater" Adelaide, Aust. I was 13 but i'm younger than that now. Never been quite the same ever since. Thanks Bob.
Gracias Bob Dylan,,, tienes tanta musica,,, tantas grabaciones,, que no soy capaz de oir todo lo que cantas,,,,, gracias,,, para mi es lo que más se asemeja a un profesor de musica
All hail Swingin' Pig, a mysterious imprint I would consciously seek out in both East and West Village CD stores in the 80's and 90's. Whoever this is, I bow to both Swingin' Pig and the Kornyphone person(s). This is very nice sync and editing work on your part here, great footage and audio.
Bill Kates Thank you so much! I am not responsible for the original TMOQ/Swingin’ label, but I do appreciate the compliment. I’m actually a 20 year old kid who, like you, scours the record stores for the original boots. In an homage to the legends I decided to carry the torch they started to the internet, and it’s been going quite well. Thank you for your support 🙏
All that said... I didn’t quite “get” then what I get now about artist’s rights to their recordings. So I’m glad TH-cam does have royalties going to artists when posts like this prove popular. It enables collectors to share rare stuff with the public, and if the artist is cool with it, the money goes to the artist.

One of the great hooks for me is Dylan's ability to make me want to hear the next verse.

I agree. It’s definitely his most musically brilliant.
I interpreted it as him singing to the people who clinged to his folk music and could not understand the change thats happening.
To me this is a story about media figures, I guess it goes to show how fantastically it's written that there are so many interpretations

It's great how you put this together. The distorted black and white of the film, and this ghostly slender figure playing this funeral-like song that encompasses his appearance, wandering a house in ruins, it's so surreal and mysterious.
Is that a serious comment?
I think i was high and my english is so so. But maybe i was serious.
@@Julian-sr9dgi took you serious. i agree
...Can't say enough about this incredible song and stupendous performance. I'm glad a song of this imagination and power exists .
He needed to blast it out ...and he did. I love that piano re-enforcement. Watch his hands..they are made for piano and he's making it his own... He is grace here.. beauty, gentleness and ferocity. So original..
Powerful. He gave it his all.
Dylan at his peak as a songwriter and performer. Bristling with angst energy.
The words of this song (poem) don’t resonate with me at all, yet I feel like it was written for this moment of my life. This is the only song that gives me goosebumps every.single.fking.time. And tears to my eyes.
Do you mister jones?
For me the summit of the 66 tour! Everything is perfect! The intro with the piano of Bob and the guitar of Robbie, the loud drumming of Mickey Jones, the outstanding and subtle organ of Garth, the solid bass guitar of Rick, and of course the wild and inspired singing of Bob on his incredible mysterious but meaningful text! Really a summit and a revolutionary piece of rock music 🎶 🤩!
Bob Dylan playing to his destiny and there were people right in front of him who missed it!
Nailed it
What a master of mood...
toucher of our inner nerves,
and lightning rod of our insane times...
poet-Dylan is
I saw him in May 1966 on this tour. I was 14 and it blew me away.
I tried desperately to get to Yale bowl; I was just 14 too, but the accident happened.
Our school took a whole bus of pupils and I was 12 and it blew me into tiny widdle pieces
j'ai écouté cette chanson des xxxx fois depuis près de 60 ans enfin un témoignage d'une énergie à pleurer de rires
Fantastique ! merci pour ce partage.
I’m blown away. Every version of this song is my favorite.
Garths organ on this is exceptional! Great live version.
Amazing performance.Fantastic lyrics,voice and great courage to endure the fools who just could'nt understand.
cant stop coming back to this
there are very very few people that can deliver such intensity and commitment onstage. I can only think of Jimi Hendrix and Howlin Wolf, but even they are half-hearted in comparison. How could anybody not love this performance?
John Lennon too.
Right right right ✓✓✓✓
Funny you mention two men very close to the heart of Brian Jones. Whatever
Howlin Wolf half hearted? I don’t think …
the greatest lyrics ever, garth hudson adds with volcanic organ
just the greatest song writer in history , such lyrics luv the guy and joan
(for me) one of his best life performances
I just LOVE it! Wonderful, fantastic... words fail me here...
I love the way he shooshes the crowd.
He's a sick man.
I have this tour almost complete on audio. It's amazing the crap he got. 'They' really couldn't believe he changed.
Dear Swingin Pig -
What a brilliant job, mixing disparate videos and audios together. You've created the best ever 66 Thin Man, bar none. Dylan fans will know how many choices you've made to create this, and how astute those choices are - a hundred times better than 'I'm Not There', for a start... Thank you SO much, it's hugely appreciated. What a f----ing masterpiece.
Damn he's an awesome musician and he has so many different versions of his songs
Amazing Bob got the golden voice and manerisms
A huge mark is the history of a unforgetable GREAT SONG!
your right on the money sara
Boys and girls!! Do y’all even know who is playing behind him?! That looks like the band! First footage I’ve come across where I’ve seen them back him. So freaking cool
Asher Fairbanks The late Mickey Jones (The First Edition, TV-Movie actor) on drums. Levin was pissed about something and didn’t make the trip.
Asher Fairbanks - Hmm well - considering they were Dylan’s backing group at the time - makes it absolutely no surprise whatsoever that he is being backed by The Band ! Any fool knows this.
Riki Newton I was being sarcastic and highlighting something I think is very cool. Maybe someone scrolling through the comments didn’t know such information! Thank you for the reply 😌
Regardless, Riki speaks the truth. I’m a fool, as comparable to any, and I knew that was The Band.
melodymakermark sick dude that’s cool
And this is why I have loved Bob Dylan since I was six years old, my mom and dad were young when they had me and music was always playing in our house, so I grew up listening to Bob, and we have tickets to see him in 3 weeks. I love him and his incredible wordsmith music.
So, how was the show ?
@@likearollingstone007 It was a very good Outlaw Festival. Bob’s band was super tight, his vocal cords are shot through, unfortunately, or he was having trouble with his voice. Still a great show, he played piano, a black shiny Grand Piano 🎹.
@@jimrebr oh great. He’s not getting any younger so, surely an evening to remember.
To the ones who booed him.... he's still standing at age 80!
He's not only standing ... he's still performing and writing songs ...
@@nrich5127*The never Ending Tour*
Fabulous! Surely nobody there objected to such brilliance!
This is EPIC!! omg what a terrific editing job. Thank you so much~ probably the very first punk rock piano performance. Bobby on the edge. Gotta love that kid in the glasses at 3:33, he gets it.
Haha, yep, one of my favorite parts. Thank a lot! I had a blast making it :)
Looks like a British me if I were a time traveller, which I'm not...
🙏If I did not subscribe before, I would do so within 10 seconds. Only today [2023/12/26] did this clip reach my retinas and eardrums. Reason for me to celebrate with the following inscription: "Thank you everyone, for since decades I have longed to be able to enjoy recordings of this most authentic possible ."
So good to see and hear this, when Dylan in a 45 minutes electric set definitely changed music for ever!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks this is what I needed to see and hear after a night sleepless writing and thinking about the war between US and China.
this video is beautiful and mesmerizing. thank you for sharing it with us
love Bob. I love Bob. He speaks to me. Thanks Bob!
We gotta keep these old Dylan videos up! Really, sincerely mean that. Thank you for posting. These recordings, they're so insane, haunting, amazing, and should (and will) outlast and 'out win' most singer songwriters(ing) of any generation inspired to write and perform what they perceive and deal with on the inside and attempt to poetically express. I know we like Bowie, Bruce, Led Zeppelin, the Clash, PJ, but Jesus, all of them know this man. Jesus knows this man. Thank you. And that film and it's soundtrack, thank God for Martin Scorsese.
What a Emotional and Brilliant Song!
Song's awesome. This version's just perfect, man. Yes. Haha! Geeked out when I found this. Thanks for posting!
So much love for Dylan
His music is sun drenched & glistening
Thank you so much for the restoration. You've done a great job.
That was a nice job putting those pieces together to make a great video. Thanks for doing that because this is the best "new" video that I've seen on You Tube in a long time!
These Brits knew they were watching a legend in the making and history right before their eyes.
Saw him live a few years ago in Vancouver so many years after this & it was amazing.
Awesome!! I've been looking for this un truncated version for years!! Thanks for sharing Swingin' 🐖.
Magnificient work thanks for your effort and sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening :)
It was a wild time. cool to see little glimpes of TheBand! So young. Dylan loved the boos and conflicks, Ive heard him say in interviews. The more boos the better...for breaking the box some were trying to keep him in.
I think what the British people missed is that the ‘60’s were a rough time in America. A lot happened politically and socially and I think Dylan was feeling that and put it to music. Sure he changed and went electric but the times were changing. He just knew and went with it.. he was too talented to stick to just singing topical songs on a acoustic guitar..
things were changing just as rapidly in britain in the 60s as they were in america.
@@christopherprice2235well said mate
The times were *a-changing
Sure it was. British people were under government rations until 1958 and couldn't get enough dairy products to live on or feed their children because the British government was forced into rationing these imports in order to make sure that no one in the country starved. This is why, perhaps, you find that many British people of the older generation have bad teeth. This was also due to the fact that dental care was expensive and only the rich could afford to have braces.
One of the things that's get glossed over is that Dylan only got popular in around 1965 in the UK. All of his acoustic music was in the charts during this tour. So a lot of people expected that Dylan to show up. But then again, some people probably were mad that he "sold out" or whatever
Excellent compilations. Real technique there and excellent audio.
The bridge in the live 1966 versions of this song is so mind blowing
great moment in the history of confrontational performance art!
raw & loose & so close to being a complete mess.. yet.. swagger for days & a brutal commentary 😎😎
That was great! It was worth all your efforts. Thanks
Sitting in the second row April 22 Adelaide "Palais Royal Theater" Adelaide, Aust. I was 13 but i'm younger than that now. Never been quite the same ever since. Thanks Bob.
Wow, you can really see the love you put into this! Thanks for sharing!
❤️❤️❤️
Dieser Song - immer wieder faszinierend!
Das ist auch ein KLASSE-SONG!! Und fantastisch von Dir gesungen!
Thank you for your job on that video!
Unbelievable performance. Love the video.
Gracias Bob Dylan,,, tienes tanta musica,,, tantas grabaciones,, que no soy capaz de oir todo lo que cantas,,,,, gracias,,, para mi es lo que más se asemeja a un profesor de musica
Such talent !✌️
Best Bob Dylan song and an amazing recording....
I love the part where he told them to leave him alone. You can tell he genuinely meant that
This is one of my favourite TH-cam Channel!!!
This is awesome! Thanks for posting! It made my morning!
I always wondered what Richard Manuel did when Dylan said scoot over, I need your piano.
All hail Swingin' Pig, a mysterious imprint I would consciously seek out in both East and West Village CD stores in the 80's and 90's. Whoever this is, I bow to both Swingin' Pig and the Kornyphone person(s). This is very nice sync and editing work on your part here, great footage and audio.
Bill Kates Thank you so much! I am not responsible for the original TMOQ/Swingin’ label, but I do appreciate the compliment. I’m actually a 20 year old kid who, like you, scours the record stores for the original boots. In an homage to the legends I decided to carry the torch they started to the internet, and it’s been going quite well. Thank you for your support 🙏
All that said... I didn’t quite “get” then what I get now about artist’s rights to their recordings. So I’m glad TH-cam does have royalties going to artists when posts like this prove popular. It enables collectors to share rare stuff with the public, and if the artist is cool with it, the money goes to the artist.
Astonishing surrealistic imagery
