    Much respect to Richard Alderson. He seems almost heartbroken when asked to talk about the tour some 50 years later, but at least he lived to see these recordings get the recognition they deserve.

    Dylan has always been in a class by himself. A self-taught genius.
    Hoping future generations will appreciate him the way we do.
    What amazing gifts he has given to the world.
    Eternal gratitude, Bob!

    I love watching old video recordings from the past where people are just behaving normally. Like Bob Dylan having trouble with his microphone and asking his engineer to help him fix it and they're back and forth and all. Whenever you hear music or watch films from the past they're always filtered through some cultural lens and through what the artist is trying to say. But watching videos like this shows you that they're normal people just like us. Even the young genius Dylan walks around frustrated and says goofy things to his co-workers.

      i am honored to play his newer dance/blues-americana in a nor cal band.
      it is amazing stuff- and his musical genius, his alive letting of life directly into his words and songs is still the gold standard.

      that dylan took the beatles and raw blues energy of bloomfield and blazed trails all would follow as they could till zeppelin really. then dylan was king of folk that mattered again in blood on the tracks with a worthy follow up in desire.
      not again till slow train would he catch fire again, already miles and leagues ahead of the curve. think wikileaks 2016 and listen to slow train coming the song again and serve somebody.

      i think that's why they did it--to stay alive, relevant, because song lyrics are literature, ever since Dylan in the early 60s, he opened doors for all those guys, who gave him credit, that you could be yourself, dress like you, act like you, and write what you feel like writing, do your own songs and use them to express anything, any way, crossing the line into what literature is, use of words to reveal life, simple and complex. Dylan didn't need a prize, they needed to give him one.

    Wow..I would love to see/hear extended interviews with Alderson and those early performances with "The Band". I also enjoyed Bob Johnston's (short) interview in No Direction Home. Many of these "behind the scene" dudes have interesting stories about how legendary music was made.

I asked was it hard to paint songs, i just think about a line out of my best song, i came in from the wilderness,a creature void of form, dad it just fell into place...she is only 17, i couldn't work bill & ben out at that age never mind blood on the tracks

  • @kmckenna45
    @kmckenna45 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’m fascinated by this period because it appears to be BD deconstructing his own musical success - taking the folk music he constructed, but felt weren’t representative of HIS sound. Taking the melodies and lyrics that WERE his and putting it through a true Bob Dylan filter - instead of trying to emulate Guthrie. BD and the Band put it out there - for the audience to HATE - he didn’t appease. Dylan always leads - and allows the public to eventually appreciate his genius.

    Dylan is "who knows who" He is transforming all the time. From "Hard Rain" to Like a Rolling Stone to Visions of Johanna to Hurricane to Brownsville Girl to "Time out of mind " and up to this day. Not to forget songs like "Series of Dreams" Walls of Red Wings, "Let me die in my footsteps" and so on. After Frank Sinatra - maybe he starts singing Dean Martin songs soon - I would love it.

The greatest performance I have ever seen of anyone.
