Just came over after watching him on Action Kid's channel. Funny dude. I used to hang out at the Cafe Wha? in 1967 when I was 15 years old. $2 rum and cokes at 2 in the morning; watching awesome (and not so awesome) groups play and then pass the hat. Caught Mort Sahl's schtick routine one Friday night and then watched him on the Ed Sullivan show two nights later. Good times - good memories. Cheers.
Aww,, you didn't show my old handout, The Fejon! The Cafe Wha? was too expensive for me, I could however afford a hot chocolate in the Fejon or a slice of Pizza at the pizza shop beyond the Wha? Winters in New York can be a b_tch when you're broke, but we had fun! With two friends we paid $60 a month for our walk-up that had no real heat or hot water, but was a short walk to our lousy jobs that paid a #1.25 an hour. I met my future wife at the Electric Circus, and we attended several concert there and at the Filmore East.
you left out the Kettle of Fish, whwenver i was on Bleeker St i would always hear that Bob had been there the day before or a few days before, never did cross paths...and on Saturday morings, the Cafe Wa would let us under 18's in and sell us overpriced kool aide and Baskets of potao chips , while people practiced their acts and music...
Just discovered Tom Delgado! You are one funny dude! A guy walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "What'll it be?" The guy says, "Make it an ass blaster." The bartender says, "What's that?" The guy answers, "Vodka and prune juice." You're not laughing. Neither did anyone else. Oh, well.
Another fascinating building in New York City, although not in the Greenwich, is the Brill Building on Broadway and 48th or 49th. A ton great songwriters and singers worked out of there.
Hey, you did good on Everybody's Talking. One of my fav. songs was and is Diamonds and Rust by Joan Biaz. Love her! Now that I see where she was talking about....it kinda changes my mental picture I used to have of that song. Anyhoo.. I am thoroughly enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work....I'll keep watching. You are very young??? Okay, I'm okay with that. You are energetic enough to walk long distances and that's good enough for me. Hope you are living the dream. Godspeed.

The only problem with Bob Dylan is eventually you have to hear him sing. It’s inevitable.

Why does this video have so little views???? It's brilliant!

You are awesome. I enjoy your vids very much. 👍😀
you forgot one lesser known fact about cafe wha? it’s owned by david lee roth’s (van halen) aunt and uncle.
WSP Hotel, Cafe Wha and The Bitter End have been added to my list of places to see when I move to NY. Thank you.
Advice for you if you're really moving to NYC: WEAR A SUIT OF ARMOR!
Dylan Thomas? 1800s black bohemian life? Joan wrote diamonds and rust in response to bob putting her down via Sad Eyed Lady
Cafe Wha was owned by Manny Roth, Uncle to Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth. No big deal ;)
I'm Tom 'D' also...! And I have been to all these places, before you were born...!
Everybody's talking from Midnight Cowboy another classic New York movie.

.....and the Olson Twins!...😶😃
Watching your vid with Sarah Funk that was good in the heavy rain and in the pet store you know your stuff :)
Check you out. Multi- talented all over the place. 😉
That was fun. My old neighborhood.
Made me rich. Thanks NY!
Excelente canal! infinita cantidad de trivia cultural, pudo ser más profundo lo de Dylan nada mal la versión de Harry Nilsson. Saludos desde Chile!
It seems like a lot of good comedy acts got their start in that area as well.
Big fan of Bobs . This was a wonderful fun mini bio Tom thank you
Great times...1963 8th Avenue between 12th & Jane...Dylan walking the streets.
Tom is always entertaining and full of information
I'd love to see a tour of the locations used in Midnight Cowboy. And Taxi Driver. Two of my favorite NYC films.
John Denver also played the Bitter End on April 10, 1970 .. great tour!
When I liuved in NYC I did this tour like every weekend. You can still breath Dylan's halo at all those places...
Tom, you are famous to me now that I started watching your videos.
Tom, how about a Patti Smith NYC?
