For music collectors and aficionados, this clip is one of many rare instances of music history, part of the internet's goldmine of music. Back in the day, if you missed this performance, you missed it, never to be seen again, now I can download the clip, convert to mp3, edit the clip and wallah I have a rare slice of music added to my playlist, so great!
Mr. Douglas was a first class gentleman. Talented big band singer and related w his audience very well. Interesting to note the shifting audience tastes.
Paul Simon, one of the great pop song writers of the past 100 years. He wrote great lyrics also, maybe not in Dylan's league but close. As a tune-smith, he eclipses Dylan, as does Paul McCartney and a number of other pop icons.
I'm in the group that holds Joni Mitchell above Dylan. Dylan is interesting, flippant, sardonic, bordering on mumbo jumbo at times, but Joni is so much more transparent, relatable, personal, authentic ... she never hid behind dark glasses and quips, but instead had the qualities many admire most in a lyricist.
@@nathankunkel4761 While I appreciate your opinion I wouldn't call Dylan sardonic. Quipy for sure. Flippant? Absolutely, but he was a pretty forthright and charming guy. He just had so much people asking him questions that he knew less of the answer than they did! But yeah Dylan is above Mitchell in my mind. If not for sheer output then for lyricism and story telling at the very least!
Simon eclipses Dylan in all but two ways: - Dylan is way more prolific - Simon’s early work was heavily influenced by Dylan Simon writes better music, and even his lyrics carry a weight throughout his career that Dylan only really had for portions of his career. Dylan was the first modern singer-songwriter, no doubt, and that makes him very important. But I find Simon’s music more compelling. I cannot wait for Seven Psalms. I couldn’t tell you the name of the last Dylan album.
These two were some of the best harmonizers around, so it is very strange to hear them both simply sing the melody together with a Plain Jane strum pattern. Feels like they were really mailing it in here. An interesting bit of history all the same.
I would call that song something else. It came from folk but my god if it's not hypnotic. Perhaps acid-folk or psychedelic folk would be a more appropriate moniker!
Nice performance! I think Paul was initially a bit nervous. He forgets to change from the D chord to G on the words “is no place I’m” in the first chorus (0:23), but he corrects the error the second time around (1:33). S&G also seem to have misheard Dylan’s lyric “I promise to go under it” (i.e., go under the dancing spell) as “I promise to go wonderin’” (1:22).
Both Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, RIP, wished they would have written some of Paul Simon’s songs. They probably never said it out loud, but you know it’s true.
We can argue over who is the better songwriter, but there is one thing I can’t get past. Simon wrote the music first, often using nonsense syllables. However he then came up with lyrics to replace those nonsense syllables, and those lyrics were just so poignant and amazing and clever. I don’t think anyone did that as well as Paul Simon.
Mr Tambourine Man; song for a family A throw away take, S and G. The Byrd's, a money grab. They sand song dilutedly . Dylan's is badass interesting historical S and G video 4 sure
Of course, for the full experience, this should be listened to in conjunction with “A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara’d into Submission)”. For example: th-cam.com/video/utZ-r2ESRls/w-d-xo.html (Or, alternatively: th-cam.com/video/81kmMYNtlRg/w-d-xo.html ) “I dropped my harmonica, Albert”. Or, of course, the version of “The Boxer” on BD’s “Self Portrait” album…
@@blatantdoomtrip7950 Oh! I wasn't blaming you and thankyou for your reply, at least everyone else will know you tried your best to get rid of it. So thankyou for downloading this footage it certainly brings back memories and should rightly be saved for posterity. For me though I prefer Dylan doing his song, the best.
@@wakefieldyorkshire I was born just down the road in Barnsley. 😄😄 I prefer Dylan's version obviously, though I do like this. I still keep expecting that harmonica to kick in though, as also when they covered The Times they are a Changin'.
Sorry. Although I appreciate every scrap of video showcasing S&G's talents, this cover is ragged, lacking their typically effortless merging of voices. It is an emotionless and underrehearsed performance cooked up by the producers of the Mike Douglas show. I much prefer Dylan's classic version(s).
It's just guys having fun covering a song for some TV show and I'm ok with that. I understand that it cab be disappoiting but there's nothing more to it. It's not like they tried to tape it and sell some copies.
what dylan version are we taking about ? theres been so many ,the 1965 studio version? the live versions of 1965 1966 ? the live Isle of wight 1969 ? the 1971 version from the concert for bangla desh ? the live versions from the 1974 tour with the Band ? the Rolling Thunder tours 1975 and 76? the great versions from 1978 and 1981?.SO many different arrangements, full Band versions solo acoustic versions ,so many different vocal approaches.So much variety Bob Dylans version of Mr Tambourine cannot be pinned down to one version.All respect !

Those 2 guys are incredible, 2 voices in harmony and a guitar, that's all you need
"To dance beneith the diamond sky
with one hand waving free,
silhouetted by the sea"
The highest form of respect. Paul Simon, one of the greatest song writers ever, performing a song written by arguably “the”greatest song writer ever!
:-)
If they want the greatest songwriter ever, then they should cover a Joni Mitchell song.
Happy Listening!
Could you imagine them singing “Hejira”?
So Awesome
Thank you !!
My favorite bob dylan song. And ugh i just these two's harmonies when they sing. Theyre literally amazing.
Dylan's song is so great!
Great upload thank you
I'd never known they had been playing this song...!
Awsome. This is far out!!!!
Paul Simon, one of the great pop song writers of the past 100 years. He wrote great lyrics also, maybe not in Dylan's league but close. As a tune-smith, he eclipses Dylan, as does Paul McCartney and a number of other pop icons.
The Boxer is THE American classic imo, whereas Get Back by the Beatles is the best soft rock song ever.
I gotta tell you. Macca is great but lyrically if anyone was to ever match Dylan it's Paul Simon, a nd art garfunkel helped him!
I'm in the group that holds Joni Mitchell above Dylan.

Remarkable artists .
They look so cute and young in this, hehee!
Wow! Funky! I'm glad that Paul and Bob buried the hatchet and did that short tour in 1999.
Oh! A 💓! Obviously, great minds think alike.
Thanks anyway, mate! 😀😀
ART!
ARTIE.
3 chords that transformed Folk into Folk Rock!
I would call that song something else. It came from folk but my god if it's not hypnotic.

première fois que je vois cette vidéo superbe
Grande dupla ! No Brasil sempre fizeram sucesso. Brasil !
❤️❤️

Merci beaucoup BLATANT DOOM TR... C'est une vidéo rare, je n'ai jamais
Vu auparavent
Both Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, RIP, wished they would have written some of Paul Simon’s songs. They probably never said it out loud, but you know it’s true.
But both were better, imo
Interesting they did such a unison arrangement.
Heerlijk om te zien die 2 geweldige muzikanten
Just about anything S&G is a great listen.
Bonita versão música Poética.

Between him and Art, or him and Bob Dylan?
Hear dylans reply --to this and the other time simon took the piss the -- his verion of thr boxer lol
It's '...I promise to go under it,' S+G.
Haha the delay
I lost my harmonica, Albert…
Just fun to see them so early in their careers! Not a great performance but okay!
Mike Douglas Show?
Tom, Jerry and Zimmerman.
Mr Tambourine Man;
song
for a family
A throw away take, S and G.
The Byrd's, a money grab.
They sand song dilutedly
.
Dylan's is badass
interesting historical S and G video 4 sure

Who’s the stiff sitting to Paul’s right?
That's my great grandfather. He fought the war for your sort.
John Whitman Hey Mister, can we have our ball back ?
Without the opening riff on a 12-string Rick, it doesn't sound right.
Just proves that only Dylan can do Dylan. If proof were needed
Except for the Byrd's.
And maybe Joan Baez.
Jimi Hendrix?
There was a few who could do Dylan.
SONG ABOUT DRUGS...... MUSIC AND WORDS BY GOD DYLAN
Slightly spoilt by the big stupid, pointless emblem superimposed onto the screen.
I agree. Nothing I could do to remove it sadly.

My favorite version is by The Byrds by far!
I agree. I’m a big Paul Simon fan but this is just dreadful.
Yes, I am a big Paul Simon fan as well.....but this cover is not very good at all.
@@suzannelawson9215 dylan revenged later singing ‚the boxer‘
Along with the Byrds'version this is much better than the Dylan's one
Drivel
Not a note dylans 1oo times better

Dylans' is exquisite
Shut up Lorenzo
Their own music and lyrics went on to bury Dylan....
Lol.
When you write " Their own music and lyrics" you reveal your complete lack of knowledge of what you speak.
