@@macklenwier7071 haven't you heard? Dylan's hooked up with Bigfoot, the Illuminati, Anton LeVay and Flo from the Geico commercials on order to control our minds on a global scale. Oh, Soros! Shit, almost forgot him. Him, too.
I will try to check out this business about his grandson if you could send me any links that would be really great . .... but if anybody thinks that he is involved with the shadow government or what people now call Deep State , you are very very wrong . .... just because someone has a grandson that might act crazy does not mean he condones it any more than anybody else condones what their kids or grandchildren do .
Bob Dylan explained prejudice and politics with poetry in the 60's. He did not want to lead a political movement but he did say what needed to be said. We need this kind of honesty now again.
I was there, as a kid. Before the speeches began he performed not at the podium but over at the side of the Lincoln Memorial, on the wall, as I remember, facing the street. I was about 50 feet away.
I'm 24 been listening since 12 and every year I understand and live him more. Saw him in Blackpool, England a few years ago but would give anything to see an early performance like this.
I was gonna say, the first time we see the podium there’s buses passing by and then it cuts perfectly into focus of bob and there’s stairs that people are running up and down on
Not gonna lie, this is a pretty bold move on Bob’s part. He could have played a less possibly controversial song like Oxford Town or Emmet Till, but chose to go with this one. Props to him.
@@forogafold I don't think it's necessarily about evading the truth, it's just that's it's not immediately obvious that that this is an anti-racism song, of course it is if you actually listen to the lyrics but lines like "you're better than them you've been born with white skin" can easily be taken out of context by someone not fully paying attention. I agree it was pretty bold of Dylan to play this particular song, but so powerful as it was received correctly.
The murderer of Metgar Evers "can't be blamed. He's only a pawn in their game"? ... Of course a pawn, but not to be blamed? ... Dylan never played the song again after 1964
Can we just admirer a person for the great gifts , the treasures he has given us?

And there were doubters when Bob Dylan won the Nobel prize for literature? Is there any living person whose poetry has had a more profound effect on our country? This post is amazing; thank you!
He's the greatest song writer there ever was probably, but he's not a poet. Songs and poetry are cousins, but they aren't the same thing. What makes Dylans lyrics achieve their full greatness is the music and his voice. On the page, they're actually pretty flat. And yes, there have been many poets who did have such an impact. The Romantics of the 19th century, for example. There was also T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, and Walt Whitman. There were several great American poets writing when Dylan was on his rise, like James Wright and Sylvia Plath, and when he was given the Nobel, like John Ashbury and Yusef Kumanyakaa. The Nobel was instituted in order to give recognition to great novelists, poets, and dramatists, and considering how little attention is given to the worlds great writers, it was actually a slap in the face to the whole spirit of the Nobel to give it to Dylan because Dylan is literally one of the most famous cultural figures that has ever existed. He has received every major prize a singer/song writer can be given, which is much deserved, but he didn't deserve nor need the Nobel. Dylan himself was perplexed by getting the award, too. Rockstars get more recognition and celebration than any other group of artists on the planet. Something needs to be given to the many great and equal artists, like actual poets, novelists, and dramatists, especially now since people read less now more than ever. Dylan is not a poet and he never claimed to be a poet because he's a singer and musician, which again is not the same thing as being a poet.
22. He was 22 years old. In 3:32 seconds he was able to distill the issue into pure, plain, profound truth. He never liked being called the spokesman for a generation, probably because those people got killed. Sadly this song is still perfect, as he said in Desolation Row, "rearrange their faces and give them all another name".
Yes because we all know exactly who he is and what he feels as a person because of his music. People are so quick to judge and/or put people on some pedestal because of the music they sing...quite insane really. It would be like someone coming into your work and assuming your an amazing person because they like how you work.
If anything, just because of this song, he deserved a Nobel Prize. Such a clear message, such a clear cross-section of the state of society, all through an art called music. One of the greatest human beings, Bob Dylan. At least when it comes to art.
This is one of the bravest things ... a sea of black faces listenng to a balladeer, and realising that the words being sung were true ... a chilling moment, a moment of reality.
BREAKING: After 126 years, Mississippi’s state flag bearing Confederate battle emblem REMOVED. “I can’t believe it. I am so emotional. Medgar’s wings must be clapping.” -Myrlie Evers, widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers.
A bullet from the back of the bush took Medgar Evers’ blood. RIP to a revolutionary! We never hear about the good people behind the scenes until its too late.
Wake up before it’s to late. Flags mean nothing, pay attention to how the elite are using race and fear to gain more and more power over our lives. That’s what Dylan is singling about.
Check out Josh O'keefe. This guy is pretty much following the paths of the 60s folk scene. Similar sound. Lyrics with similar content. But still pretty damn original. Check out "Son of the working class" or "We're all the same" Greetings from Germany
Oh boy this one always gets me teared up. Epic on so many levels. Bobby! MLK! Good god. terrific clip for Sunday~ Thank you as always for consistent high quality uploads. the improved sound matched up with the footage. This is GOLD. 💖😎
I would bet 99% of the people in that crowd didn't have a clue what he was he was singing about. You really have to listen intently to follow it. Took me many listens. Dylan once again not giving a fuck. One of the things that makes him great!
@@oscartovar9990I just saw him back in March and it was the best concert of my life to date! (I see The Rolling Stones in a week so we’ll see if that tops Dylan 😂)
No, MLK was directly preceded by Rabbi Joachim Prinz, a refugee from Nazi Germany who became involved in the civil rights struggle the year he arrived in the U.S., in 1937. In his speech he said , ""the most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.” He followed the gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. Bob’s choice of song was controversial because it technically absolves the actual murderer of Medgar Evers and pins the blame on the political system in the South. Many people in the mostly black audience wouldn’t have been thrilled with this, and it’s probably a good thing for Bob that a good portion of the crowd wasn’t listening.
@@haroldsteinblatt2567 I think the implication of the song is that government, establishment media, & business elite historically exacerbate racism in order to pit the lower classes against each other so that they never organize together to force egalitarianism. They just keep blaming each other for their problems, rarely organizing against the ruling class.
No one knew this tune then. It was not the point of him being, there to have a sing along. It was NOT then reflective of deep chaos. At the time it was bringing forces together. You may not have been around then?
@@SpeegBJ he was right though. it does reflect the chaos of today. For example, people hate and chastise the average trump supporter, who is usually older and remembers the time of segregation, like yourself, and are scared of the new world, where everything they were taught in school has went out the window. The younger people don't understand where they're coming from so insults fly, only resulting in more anger. People today just throw oil on each other's fires and wonder why everything is burning. As they've always done I guess but in the internet age it surrounds us constantly. It's easier to hate on the pack now and completely ignore any self reflection.
Bob is many things, but does he have balls, guts, and nerves in abudnence such a courageous and brave individual in whatever route his musical output has drawn him to he's always been commited to putting the song over; he doesn't do it for the success, monetary gain, the fame, or any political motive he's focused on delivering the song to the best of his ability, and boy does he have that in droves. thank you swingin' pig for your continuing effort to share and spread these brilliant archival historical pivotal footage of zimmy. ✌🏼💜
After the death of George Floyd, Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll and this song bring tears to my eyes. Bob was so courageous and simply telling the sad truth. The perpetuity of institutionalized racism is still an issue in 2020.. Thank you Bob, for your humanity.
Yes, I've just posted both on my Facebook page, along with Death of Emmett Till and The Times They Are A Changing. I'm an old soul, and I really hope that the times will change...
This is so awesome.....I am picturing myself standing near him looking toward the Washington Monument.....with a hot breeze blowing....surrounded by people who love
We must admire and give thanks to someone who has given us these great gifts , these treasures . His wisdom has given us reason to pause , guided , educated , stirred , consoled , pacified , alerted and empowered an entire generation. and those after Those who experience Great suffering in order to send a important message and to pave the hopeful paths to the future should be held in the highest regard.. Thank you Bob. You have always done the right thing....
Ach. Such a momentous day. Bob is so young and beautiful here. And a bit nervous as would anyone in the situation. But still doesn’t get a word wrong. It took me another 50 years n 7 months to get to this Washington monument. The October 2013. And I lost all my photos. Stop reminding me of that. X
I think Dylan's 5 most sobering and profound songs are on this album: Pawn, Hollis Brown, Hattie Carroll, With God On Our Side, and North Country Blues. Every song is about death, either on an individual or a mass scale.
To think it’s 57 years later and here we are in 2020 and still have this going on in our country.....it’s a mortal sin this is how some of us really are.....it’s a royal shame really
Let’s get back to judging someone’s character according to their individual identity not their group identity. that’s something Martin Luther King fought for.
This song is about how Medgar Evars killer was just a useful idiot who couldn't even be blamed for what he did. How he was brainwashed into prejudice and hatred from the time he was born. The next time you see these recent protesters and rioters who hate America, cops, etc..and someone winds up getting killed... think left wing parents, mongrel dogs who teach "lies that life is black and white", self ordained professors, media, Hollywood..etc. They are only pawns in THEIR game!
What a historic moment in history captured here in this footage! Gives me goosebumps. You are so young and pure goodness. I loved watching this and so glad you shared. God bless you.
It's no wonder Dylan distanced himself as a "prophet". I mean, look at that crowd, can't see the end of it. Gives me chills. I doubt anyone there ever felt the rest of their lives they were a part of anything as important as that. It's possible a part of him knew that, and thus hung up his hat.
I'm not sure he really hung up his hat I think he's gone really underground and is much more subtle now if you read his more recent lyrics or at least some of them
I was 15 when I saw this live and it woke me up from my white middle-class slumber. and I haven't looked back since! Freedom is precious because it can be taken away so easily: just consider what a throwback we have for president here in 2020.
I think this is what makes Bob so special, he understood the civil rights movement on a deeper level, he understood it’s all a game. While the normal citizen wants change the government is playing games with us. Maybe wrong but I think he saw that the only way we can make progress is united, not divided. Divided, we’re all pawns in a game but only united can we stop the game.
Where in the world would we be if Bob Dylan had not existed, we would be a little more blind, a little more deaf, a little more indifferent ,a little more ignorant, a little less caring, a little less kind, a little more selfish, a little more not bothered, a little more greedy, a little more vulgar, a little more uneducated, a little more less human so Thanks A Million Bob Dyland for the man that you were and the man that you are, May God continue to bless, protect and guide you
I understand your observation, but for me it captures a wonderful moment where people weren’t thinking of such a protest primarily as a media event. The audience is one thing, but what about the people *behind* Dylan??? Ossis Davis and Dick Gregory and many other folks walking around. A sign of disorganization or lack of coherence? I don’t think so. A sign of *life?* Yes. By comparison, everything today is packaged, glitzy, camera ready. A photogenic nightmare. This, by contrast, was real.
Yes they do. One man even removes his hats in respect . Watch it again if you don’t believe it to be so-trust me they knew who and exactly what this song was (and is) about.
Swingin’ Pig in the past year listening to your bootlegs and gems, have been one of the biggest inspirations behind me writing my first album (soon to be recorded) Thanks for everything you do pig ⚡️⚡️
Swingin’ Pig while I have your attention I would just like to send one of the new age Dylan’s for your perusal who has also been a big inspiration for me th-cam.com/video/993uiF-u7pg/w-d-xo.html
Funny everytime he’s asked he denies that he was trying to be an activist but his songs sure seem to say otherwise. Always the ENIGMA that is Bob Dylan Perhaps he will make an appearance on his own terms as always. Love you Bob
Activists often fight against something.. us vs them kinda ideology.. In my experience, Bob Dylan mostly unites, makes peace, sees the global picture, loves, .. he's not a fighter..he's a poet..
@@UnKnown-hp9gz yes but with his heart and art, by putting love out there. not with his mind in an anger, demanding "change now". I've the expression he was much more accepting of then human nature, than activists are. But maybe I'm wrong.
@@michellehershey2171 Unfortunately young black men are still being shot by white people, riled up by rhetoric coming directly from the white house. American culture needs to change as a whole.
The fight is on and it's not just the blacks who are fighting for their rights what's going on right now is the biggest thing since either the Civil War or the Revolutionary War and believe it because that is no exaggeration ... the protest will continue throughout the summer and things are going to get very scary for the powers-that-be come right around Halloween and you can mark my words . People have really had it with corruption in this country and our rights going down the toilet especially our freedom of speech ... TH-cam has been shadowbanning my comments intermittently for 11 years and I'm trying to get a class action suit against them even though others have tried to sue them.... I shouldn't say it but I'll say it I believe the judge was paid off and that's why he rolled in favor of Google and TH-cam when they say they are privately owned.... there's a number of holes in their argument and what they do . .... I write lyrics and I have been very vocal against the powers-that-be recently and Burying my comments in fact a friend couldn't find a song I wrote and he counted and counted and man did he blow me away when he got back with me and said it was down at position # 590 ! ... and that did not include anyone's replies just initial comments by people .... they stepped all over freedom of speech and they think that's the American way well yeah with the shadow government it is and they're going to be overthrown this year it's still going to take a few years to get those dark creatures out but please people stop giving up hope everybody in this country is too damn angry to be afraid and everybody is sick of these rotten politicians who have stabbed good American people in the back for too long now
It should be noted that Dylan eventually shunned and scorned the protest music scene, same as folk, and everyone that tried to control him. No Direction Home needs a sequel asap.

@Basil Fomeen According to these excerpts from St Louis Post Dispatch article titled, "St. Louis police release pawn shop surveillance video in hunt for killer of retired police captain " by Kim Bell Jun 5, 2020: "A surveillance video showing men breaking into a pawn shop was released by police Friday in an effort to catch the person who fatally shot a retired police captain hired to protect the shop from looters." "Dorn’s wife, Ann Marie Dorn, has said her husband was a friend of the pawn shop’s owner and worked for him. He would go to the shop when burglar alarms sounded to make sure it was secure, she said. She is a sergeant with St. Louis police." "The video released by police doesn’t show the killing of David Dorn, 77, who was shot early Tuesday. He was found dead on the sidewalk in front of the shop." "The video runs from 2:13 a.m. to nearly 2:17 a.m. Dorn was found dead about 2:30 a.m." "David Dorn retired from the St. Louis police force in 2007 after 38 years on the job." "David Dorn, in a 2008 photo when Dorn became police chief of Moline Acres." [at 65 years of age]
On the Pawn shops facebook page there is live video coverage (recorded by bystander Derek Brown?) posted with a timestamp of 12:50 a.m., runtime app. 36 minutes, showing police taping off the area including the entire street, before the reported time of the alleged murder? Considering the circumstances, why would a veteran P.O. at 77 years of age, be left alone, by himself, no backup, no other officers nor anyone locked & loaded, to "protect" "Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry at 4123 Martin Luther King Drive" at the reported time of two-thirty in the morning?

I suppose the rap scene is the new Folk scene, Times change and so does the rhythm. Sadly
WE ARE ALL PAWNS IN THEIR GAME...GET IT STRAIGHT PEOPLE
@@oinkooink prolly...but at least 14 people may know what time it is.
Get ready...check utube for videos...Haha, Bob Dylan was born a female!
HES ALSO CABAL SLAVE
The politicians are still playing the game--both parties of our pseudo-democracy.
This is unbelievable awesome footage from an era of strife. Thank You for sharing this treasure 💖💖💖 !!
He is unbelievable, glad this was recorded for all of us to see years later 👍👍✌✌
Oh boy this one always gets me teared up. Epic on so many levels. Bobby! MLK! Good god. terrific clip for Sunday~
Thank you as always for consistent high quality uploads. the improved sound matched up with the footage.
This is GOLD. 💖😎
Sitting here on another Sunday, in a world that is still broken.
We go very easily from 1962 to 2020, but with the admiration for this man who has always surprised us from the beginning until today.
just one word this young man is yet our GENIUS ♥♥♥
I would bet 99% of the people in that crowd didn't have a clue what he was he was singing about. You really have to listen intently to follow it. Took me many listens. Dylan once again not giving a fuck. One of the things that makes him great!
60 years ago today, and he’s still kicking. Unbelievable how far he’s come since this performance
insane!!! i finally went to a concert of his in 2021 and going to another in two months 😁😁
@@oscartovar9990I just saw him back in March and it was the best concert of my life to date! (I see The Rolling Stones in a week so we’ll see if that tops Dylan 😂)
Rev. Dr. MLK, Jr. took the microphone right after Dylan.
No, MLK was directly preceded by Rabbi Joachim Prinz, a refugee from Nazi Germany who became involved in the civil rights struggle the year he arrived in the U.S., in 1937. In his speech he said , ""the most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.” He followed the gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. Bob’s choice of song was controversial because it technically absolves the actual murderer of Medgar Evers and pins the blame on the political system in the South. Many people in the mostly black audience wouldn’t have been thrilled with this, and it’s probably a good thing for Bob that a good portion of the crowd wasn’t listening.
@@haroldsteinblatt2567 I think the implication of the song is that government, establishment media, & business elite historically exacerbate racism in order to pit the lower classes against each other so that they never organize together to force egalitarianism. They just keep blaming each other for their problems, rarely organizing against the ruling class.
Do you know who introduced Dylan at the beginning?

This is one of the greatest protest songs ever written.
How on the f******g earth did this video get so few views so far? It's one of the best videos on TH-cam.
Thanks for uploading this man.
Damn
Not enough black folks know this song. Truly reflective of the deeper chaos in America that exists today.
No one knew this tune then. It was not the point of him being, there to have a sing along. It was NOT then reflective of deep chaos. At the time it was bringing forces together. You may not have been around then?
@@SpeegBJ he was right though. it does reflect the chaos of today. For example, people hate and chastise the average trump supporter, who is usually older and remembers the time of segregation, like yourself, and are scared of the new world, where everything they were taught in school has went out the window. The younger people don't understand where they're coming from so insults fly, only resulting in more anger. People today just throw oil on each other's fires and wonder why everything is burning. As they've always done I guess but in the internet age it surrounds us constantly. It's easier to hate on the pack now and completely ignore any self reflection.
@@user-kk2dw1eh5q trump literally called mexicans rapists and we should be ok with that and others that think like him?
@@user-kk2dw1eh5q The average Trump supporter is an un-American fascist moron.
Bob is many things, but does he have balls, guts, and nerves in abudnence such a courageous and brave individual in whatever route his musical output has drawn him to he's always been commited to putting the song over; he doesn't do it for the success, monetary gain, the fame, or any political motive he's focused on delivering the song to the best of his ability, and boy does he have that in droves.
thank you swingin' pig for your continuing effort to share and spread these brilliant archival historical pivotal footage of zimmy. ✌🏼💜
Absolutely fantastic absolutely fantastic! God bless everyone from Patrick
After the death of George Floyd, Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll and this song bring tears to my eyes. Bob was so courageous and simply telling the sad truth. The perpetuity of institutionalized racism is still an issue in 2020.. Thank you Bob, for your humanity.

Yes, I've just posted both on my Facebook page, along with Death of Emmett Till and The Times They Are A Changing. I'm an old soul, and I really hope that the times will change...
Bob Dylan lived an entire life in the sixties. Crazy.
Even Joan Baez makes an appearance at 0:56. Sweet video, thanks Swingin'.
Well spotted.
Likewise looking so very young.
She knew where the lens was aimed.
I think they also played a song together that day? If I remember correctly.
They did: When The Ship Comes In, I believe
This is so awesome.....I am picturing myself standing near him looking toward the Washington Monument.....with a hot breeze blowing....surrounded by people who love
Wow!!! Great historical footage and Bob; a voice for those who were held back from being heard! Thank you!
We must admire and give thanks to someone who has given us these great gifts , these treasures .
His wisdom has given us reason to pause , guided , educated , stirred , consoled , pacified , alerted and empowered an entire generation. and those after Those who experience Great suffering in order to send a important message and to pave the hopeful paths to the future should be held in the highest regard.. Thank you Bob. You have always done the right thing....
Wow! Amazing quality. Excellent dubbing skills. Thank you once again. (We are in dire and imminent need of a march on Washington right now.)
Haha we are indeed. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Seriously how dare trump make black unemployment levels historically low. The sheer injustice makes my blood boil
Ach. Such a momentous day. Bob is so young and beautiful here. And a bit nervous as would anyone in the situation. But still doesn’t get a word wrong. It took me another 50 years n 7 months to get to this Washington monument. The October 2013. And I lost all my photos. Stop reminding me of that. X
And that's why Bob is a legend. This song is still perfectly relevant in Modern Times.
Just saw the movie; what an inspiration. Dylan, you give me the strength to go on in a country that's falling apart and evil is winning.
I think Dylan's 5 most sobering and profound songs are on this album: Pawn, Hollis Brown, Hattie Carroll, With God On Our Side, and North Country Blues. Every song is about death, either on an individual or a mass scale.
Great to see and hear the Dylan I admired
Thanks for this,the best quality I’ve seen
THANKS! Wonderful to finally see a good quality version of this iconic historical gem.
what appropriate songs Bob picked for this. Just like the Bangladesh concert, He writes about everything. Think of something...and Bob has it covered.
From Zambia, "Respect."

Watch RONNIE-GUITAR from botswana on yt.
Awesome quality. Thanks for sharing, man !
To think it’s 57 years later and here we are in 2020 and still have this going on in our country.....it’s a mortal sin this is how some of us really are.....it’s a royal shame really
Let’s get back to judging someone’s character according to their individual identity not their group identity. that’s something Martin Luther King fought for.
I say it in a cruder way,...but still the same👍❤
Maybe just Stop judging people? :D
Black people have equal rights ffs
This song is about how Medgar Evars killer was just a useful idiot who couldn't even be blamed for what he did. How he was brainwashed into prejudice and hatred from the time he was born. The next time you see these recent protesters and rioters who hate America, cops, etc..and someone winds up getting killed... think left wing parents, mongrel dogs who teach "lies that life is black and white", self ordained professors, media, Hollywood..etc. They are only pawns in THEIR game!
Your character is shown in the company you keep.
What a historic moment in history captured here in this footage! Gives me goosebumps. You are so young and pure goodness. I loved watching this and so glad you shared. God bless you.
He still makes a difference in our world. Thank you Bobby. 🌟🎶 🎼 🎵
"He’s only a pawn in their game". El é só un peón no seu xogo. Thanks for upload.
Someone call Bob to the podium again, need to benchmark this moment.
I want to write a song like that. We need more artist-poets like this these days.
Bob Dylan is truly a treasure to humanity. His words resonate today. May the marches and the demands be made, now in 2020..power to the people.
Thank you for uploading all that great stuff... I could spend hours watching
It's so beautiful when we come together.❤👊🏿👊🏾👊🏼👊
It's no wonder Dylan distanced himself as a "prophet". I mean, look at that crowd, can't see the end of it. Gives me chills. I doubt anyone there ever felt the rest of their lives they were a part of anything as important as that. It's possible a part of him knew that, and thus hung up his hat.
I'm not sure he really hung up his hat I think he's gone really underground and is much more subtle now if you read his more recent lyrics or at least some of them
This song, this performance, will always get to me...I hope.
"The more things change, the more they remain the same. "
Imposible no reconocer la verdad, la franqueza y la razón que deja en nuestro corazón la VERDAD de Bob Dylan..
I was 15 when I saw this live and it woke me up from my white middle-class slumber. and I haven't looked back since! Freedom is precious because it can be taken away so easily: just consider what a throwback we have for president here in 2020.
I think this is what makes Bob so special, he understood the civil rights movement on a deeper level, he understood it’s all a game. While the normal citizen wants change the government is playing games with us. Maybe wrong but I think he saw that the only way we can make progress is united, not divided. Divided, we’re all pawns in a game but only united can we stop the game.
That a 22 year old kid could write out a magical tune such as this..............well, it gives you hope.
my God, I didn't realize that he was so young at the time!
Million thanks for posting this footage. We were heroes once and shall be so again.
Great! The Civil Rights Movement's epic poet!
Ossie Davis introduces him. Great actor and a Great man along with Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan wrote his songs straight from his heart
My God! Thank you SP for available for us....
we all are only pawns in their games...Break Your Chains Now!
oh the words are so true and and the music beautiful
God bless you, Bob Dylan
Where in the world would we be if Bob Dylan had not existed, we would be a little more blind, a little more deaf, a little more indifferent ,a little more ignorant, a little less caring, a little less kind, a little more selfish, a little more not bothered, a little more greedy, a little more vulgar, a little more uneducated, a little more less human so Thanks A Million Bob Dyland for the man that you were and the man that you are, May God continue to bless, protect and guide you
I am crying my eyes out in 2020 watching this AGAIN... Will there ever be a change?
There have been huge changes since then
Historical moments...precious footage. Thanks for uploading 🎶🎶🎶
I can not love this enough.
Very cool, this is about as young as you'll ever see him....
oh lord do we need him again
Fascinating look back to a moment in time when it seemed like we might get a handle on our problems. What happened ?
its so interesting to see people looking around and talking, they have no clue what they are witnessing
They knew just fine what they were seeing. They weren't there for Bob Dylan Lorraine. Many of them had marched all the way fro Selma.
My guess is they were too preoccupied with someone turning a firehose on them
I understand your observation, but for me it captures a wonderful moment where people weren’t thinking of such a protest primarily as a media event. The audience is one thing, but what about the people *behind* Dylan??? Ossis Davis and Dick Gregory and many other folks walking around. A sign of disorganization or lack of coherence? I don’t think so. A sign of *life?* Yes. By comparison, everything today is packaged, glitzy, camera ready. A photogenic nightmare. This, by contrast, was real.
Yes they do. One man even removes his hats in respect . Watch it again if you don’t believe it to be so-trust me they knew who and exactly what this song was (and is) about.
Thanks for upload
Instinctively smiled at 1:00 when I saw Joan Baez pop up right behind him.
Not exaggerating - This is one of the trippiest pieces of video footage I’ve ever seen.
More from this concert if there is any mr pig 🙏🏻❤️
Will do! Can’t upload “When the ship comes in” due to copyright, but there’s one more I might be able to upload :)
Swingin’ Pig totally understand anything from around that period 61-64 I’m just obsessed 😂🙏🏻

NO video prompt for this. Historic.
Funny everytime he’s asked he denies that he was trying to be an activist but his songs sure seem to say otherwise.
Always the ENIGMA that is Bob Dylan
Perhaps he will make an appearance on his own terms as always. Love you Bob
Activists often fight against something.. us vs them kinda ideology..
In my experience, Bob Dylan mostly unites, makes peace, sees the global picture, loves, .. he's not a fighter..he's a poet..
@@ytonaona though he was fighting injustices
@@UnKnown-hp9gz yes but with his heart and art, by putting love out there. not with his mind in an anger, demanding "change now". I've the expression he was much more accepting of then human nature, than activists are. But maybe I'm wrong.
SIXTY years ago ....August 28th 1963. Still making prophecy. Has it changed?
Nothing has changed in nearly 60 years.
It's time. And Bob's still writing and singing. Never give up...please
@@michellehershey2171 Unfortunately young black men are still being shot by white people, riled up by rhetoric coming directly from the white house. American culture needs to change as a whole.
The fight is on and it's not just the blacks who are fighting for their rights what's going on right now is the biggest thing since either the Civil War or the Revolutionary War and believe it because that is no exaggeration ... the protest will continue throughout the summer and things are going to get very scary for the powers-that-be come right around Halloween and you can mark my words .
People have really had it with corruption in this country and our rights going down the toilet especially our freedom of speech ... TH-cam has been shadowbanning my comments intermittently for 11 years and I'm trying to get a class action suit against them even though others have tried to sue them.... I shouldn't say it but I'll say it I believe the judge was paid off and that's why he rolled in favor of Google and TH-cam when they say they are privately owned.... there's a number of holes in their argument and what they do .
.... I write lyrics and I have been very vocal against the powers-that-be recently and Burying my comments in fact a friend couldn't find a song I wrote and he counted and counted and man did he blow me away when he got back with me and said it was down at position # 590 ! ... and that did not include anyone's replies just initial comments by people .... they stepped all over freedom of speech and they think that's the American way well yeah with the shadow government it is and they're going to be overthrown this year it's still going to take a few years to get those dark creatures out but please people stop giving up hope everybody in this country is too damn angry to be afraid and everybody is sick of these rotten politicians who have stabbed good American people in the back for too long now
@@gardensofthegods You're nuts
Thanks for sharing!
This is as good as it gets with the resolution of 1963 video tech -
There is also film of this which is much better quality...?
It should be noted that Dylan eventually shunned and scorned the protest music scene, same as folk, and everyone that tried to control him. No Direction Home needs a sequel asap.
This song is about how Medgar Evars killer was just a useful idiot who couldn't even be blamed for what he did. How he was brainwashed into prejudice and hatred from the time he was born.

Basil Fomeen LOL, you know you are the useful idiot in this case don’t you?
What's the 77 year old black man's name who was shot and killed protecting a store during the riots?
@Basil Fomeen According to these excerpts from St Louis Post Dispatch article titled, "St. Louis police release pawn shop surveillance video in hunt for killer of retired police captain
" by Kim Bell Jun 5, 2020:
"A surveillance video showing men breaking into a pawn shop was released by police Friday in an effort to catch the person who fatally shot a retired police captain hired to protect the shop from looters."
"Dorn’s wife, Ann Marie Dorn, has said her husband was a friend of the pawn shop’s owner and worked for him. He would go to the shop when burglar alarms sounded to make sure it was secure, she said. She is a sergeant with St. Louis police."
"The video released by police doesn’t show the killing of David Dorn, 77, who was shot early Tuesday. He was found dead on the sidewalk in front of the shop."
"The video runs from 2:13 a.m. to nearly 2:17 a.m. Dorn was found dead about 2:30 a.m."
"David Dorn retired from the St. Louis police force in 2007 after 38 years on the job."
"David Dorn, in a 2008 photo when Dorn became police chief of Moline Acres." [at 65 years of age]
On the Pawn shops facebook page there is live video coverage (recorded by bystander Derek Brown?) posted with a timestamp of
12:50 a.m., runtime app. 36 minutes, showing police taping off the area including the entire street, before the reported time of the alleged murder? Considering the circumstances, why would a veteran P.O. at 77 years of age, be left alone, by himself, no backup, no other officers nor anyone locked & loaded, to "protect" "Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry at 4123 Martin Luther King Drive" at the reported time of two-thirty in the morning?
