I was there, three people from the stage between Bob and Mark. It was my birthday, and I lived 15 minutes walk away in Hammersmith. I joked on ER that Bob would play Forever Young for my birthday, knowing that was ludicrous as he hadn't played it in a long time. Probably the best night of my life.
There is something very touching about these "old coots" being able to produce such a nice, tender version of one of Bob's greatest songs. You can see the mutual respect they have for each other as well.
Knopfler blends into Dylan.....Oh we of the 50 and 60's have grown up with such musical and poetic brilliance...71 soon, and remain .....forever young.....
The beauty of Mark’s guitar playing never ceases to amaze me. No one can even compare. And as backdrop for an old man’s birthday song, perfect. Bob you can’t sing worth shit, but your songs were part of the backbone of the Counterculture. And for that we thank you. We do not forget.
Cant sing worth a shit? I have lost count of how many different voices he has from rough to totally mellow! It is dead voiced monotone Johny Cash who cant sing for shit .. but some people love deadpan … so that’s fine!
You’re right in fact much as I love him I wish he would turn over the singing to someone who can actually sing. I never managed to see him in the old days but have seen him twice in later years and I did so to witness a genius not to hear his voice.
We saw Dylan and Mark locally. 2nd row dead center. Dylan and his young band killed it. Bob was cranking. Mark and band did an hour of Celtic folks songs.
YES! Forever Young, the perfect song to be played today...Wishing Mr Bob Good Health and Happiness on his 83rd Birthday...keep it coming! (New Zealand)
@@GerardCurran-yp9it He really is, always the coolest guy in the room and especially on stage, no matter how cool the people up there with him are!!
While holding our first grandchild I played the version from The Last Waltz and sang it to him. I thought it was sweet but my wife and our daughter cried.
i am 71...so glad to see you Bob...you've written so many classics...a living legend...i know that the present generation who are so popular ( won't mention any names) but when they are 83 they certainly will not be asked to tour around...but you just keep on playing , singing and demonstrating what music is and should be...thank you for making my life just a little brighter....thank you Mark as well....but sorry for me it is Bob, got ridiculed to start his 2nd part of his gig with an electric guitar decades ago...he always did what he wanted thank you!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES YOUNG MAN. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY AND MAY THE COMING YEAR BE FILLED WITH HEALTH WEALTH PEACE LAUGHTER AND HAPPINESS AND JOY AND HOPE AND FAITH AND PROSPERITY AND PEACE AND ABOVE ALL LOVED. STAY "FOREVER YOUNG"!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃💃👏👏💕💐🌹👌🎂😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️😘
Dear Andrew, this was just exquisite. I adore Mark Knopfler. The sound is so beautiful and a lovely tribute to Dylan as his birthday arrives💕Thank you so much. Happy Birthday to Bob. Thank you for all the joy you've given the world. Long Live Bob Dylan❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday Bob Dylan. Stay healthy and Forever Young. ❤your music and prose. What an Odyssey and if we could turn back time I'd be on that journey again with you and your band. I've enjoyed all these years. I'm another demension at 73 now and still listen and enjoy listening to you. 🎉😊❤
I love this song completely, thank you for writing and composing it, Bpb Dylan! And this version is such a beautiful hommage to this grand human being, this amazing artis! absolutely delightful and emotional. I sang this song with my brother on my 60th birthday 12 years ago and have fond memories ot that day, as my brother was one other hero of my life (he died 7 years ago) 💗🙏
I probably watched this 20 times nearly 13 years ago. I likely teared up each time at that most memorable moment. It had the same effect on me when watching it now. Thanks for another gem, Woolhall. And Happy 83rd Birthday to Hero #1 - The one and only Bob Dylan 👍👍
Happy Birthday, "Uncle Bob" ... we love you and your many timeless compositions ... a real treat to have Mark Knopfler help you to 'bring it all home, love & many, many prayers to the Lord on high!!!!!!!
My Dear Brother Paul passed away on May 8th 2024 & was a lifelong fan of Bob Dylan , three of his songs including this one were played at his funeral ❤
Mr. Dylan is living proof of Forever Young, He came into this world intelligent, thank you for posting this!! We are all so grateful for the wisdom (last thoughts on Woody Guthrie at what age??) Worlds 🌎 Of Blessings 🌠🙏Namaste❤
Woolhall quite possibly the second coolest guy on the planet ! Awesome video ! My new favorite Forever Young ! From Marks guitar to Bob’s sultry voice then the harmonica to top it all off ! Almost better then sex,I said almost! Happy Birthday Bob Forever Love You❤Forever Thank you Woolhall 💋
Bob can sure pick them from Baez to Petty and all of Nashville, just to name some of the talent Bob is able to enlist...Michael Bloomfield too, thxs for sharing
Wow absolutely amazing Song sounding so gentle such a Most Beautiful Song done justice by The Great Mark Knoppler ,The Genius himself and Birthday Boy Bobby Dylan ❤Accompanied by his great friend Tony Garnier .
Lovely gesture from Mark to Bob. " May your song always be sung "
Wasn’t it just ! Superb !
The crowd went WILD at that point, you can kind of pick it up on the video. Lovely gesture by Mark.
@@johnskiotis5492 Difficult to be sure, but didn’t Mark change it to “songs” ?
I was there, three people from the stage between Bob and Mark. It was my birthday, and I lived 15 minutes walk away in Hammersmith. I joked on ER that Bob would play Forever Young for my birthday, knowing that was ludicrous as he hadn't played it in a long time. Probably the best night of my life.
If anyone's stayed forever young in this life, it's Bob! Thank you for your joyful song!!
There is something very touching about these "old coots" being able to produce such a nice, tender version of one of Bob's greatest songs.
You can see the mutual respect they have for each other as well.
I love Bob Dylan. Who cares that he can't sing any more. The day he isn't here will be a very sad day indeed. Many happy returns.
Knopfler blends into Dylan.....Oh we of the 50 and 60's have grown up with such musical and poetic brilliance...71 soon, and remain .....forever young.....
Well,said.❤️
We have been blessed to live in this time, for sure.
@@fasthorserider1733 That is so true. We can all truly imagine what Mozart's audiences must have felt💞💞💞
As a 73 year old, it touches me so deeply, to listen to zwo of my all times heroes 🎉
Bob will sing true again. No matter what, he is AMAZING🤗
Grateful for your gifts Bob Dylan and Mark Knophler! You both have touched my heart and my soul for years 🫶 HB Zimmi 🎉

You couldn't be more wrong.

Bob is a great singer.
@@Jimbo-mk7xq Untrue I’m afraid.
We saw Dylan and Mark locally. 2nd row dead center. Dylan and his young band killed it. Bob was cranking. Mark and band did an hour of Celtic folks songs.
Wow! Was this recently? Where? I know Bob just ended a tour - or should I say recently ‘paused’ his Never Ending Tour.😂😂
@DaveL0522 hi If memory serves it was 2011 at London Hammersmith
YES! Forever Young, the perfect song to be played today...Wishing Mr Bob Good Health and Happiness on his 83rd Birthday...keep it coming! (New Zealand)
Bob is the coolest guy on this planet. 83 three year old Genius.
@@GerardCurran-yp9it
He really is, always the coolest guy in the room and especially on stage, no matter how cool the people up there with him are!!
And that's a very happy bass player. Right place at the right time.
The love you take is equal to the love you make, and you're both loved to the moon & back. My life would have been darker without your tunes.
The leitmotif of my live. So glad that Bob stays forever young and continues to inspire those around him. A truly unique individual.
If Bobby wrote only this one song, he’d still be legend! ❤
That's the truth. Thank God he wrote so many others. We are truly blessed.
While holding our first grandchild I played the version from The Last Waltz and sang it to him. I thought it was sweet but my wife and our daughter cried.
Beautiful memory! They cried because it was sweet! I hope someone took a video for your grand-baby!
I’m tearing up reading this.
Man is this sweet. Happy Birthday Mr. Dylan.

Truly love Dylan’s words I know there was a reason he was awarded the NOBEL PRIZE for literature!

What a beautiful fitting song on this special day, thank you for all the wonderful memories.
I love this song completely, thank you for writing and composing it, Bpb Dylan!

Back in 1973, this was our baby daughter Carla's favorite lullaby so we sang it to her every night..... Love and Happy birthday to Bob!
I like that Mark channeled some of Robertson's fills.
I probably watched this 20 times nearly 13 years ago. I likely teared up each time at that most memorable moment. It had the same effect on me when watching it now. Thanks for another gem, Woolhall.
And Happy 83rd Birthday to Hero #1 - The one and only Bob Dylan 👍👍
Me too. I've seen it so many times I think I was there. Love seeing the last few seconds.
