Love the howling, nebulous cathedral version from '66 but this is a treat. I took this song literally and have been on a quest all my life, the eternal student, always learning, nosing around, escaping on the run. A song of the human spirit. Robin Witting England
Top notch high bar man this just came down the wire. I'm on top of a mountain in the Scottish Borders and I've just kicked my pal out of the tent as he's doesn't like Bob to much tough luck the midges can eat him
Another beautiful rendition of the greatest song ever written no exaggeration. Thank you for putting this together Swingin. I swear this footage & recording should be in the Smithsonian or National Gallery of Art or something. Truly an American treasure.
Thanks for this. I was at this gig. I was a student at Cardiff. Hitched up to Liverpool with a few friends. Was an amazing experience. I remember him singing 'Talkin World War III Blues' - tweaking the lyrics eg from "It was Rockaday Johnny, singing..." to "It was Donovan - whoever Donovan is..". Watching and listening to this little chap, alone on stage with his guitar, a stool to carry the glass of water in which he placed his harmonicas, and this amazing voice which haunted me for the rest of my life. You knew way back then you were witnessing something special. I remember it as if yesterday. Seen him many times since. Each time is memorable. Thanks.
First of all a big thank you to Elston for bringing us the original version and a massive thank you to you for doing what you have done the quality is nothing short of magic thank you my friend
What a privilege to view early footage of Bob Dylan sing a favorite classic! Thank You so much 💖💖! This is fantastic! *Dylan understood exploitation early in his career. Dylan's intelligence knew his talent & genius was a covetted target to exploit.
Any Dylan fan would see this as a rare glimpse into a classic performance especially to those of us who have never seen him live! The Master of Words and Music!!
I saw Dylan perform in Seattle in '64 or '65 when I was about 15, and a few years later after "Blonde on Blonde" came out. My only firm memory from that first concert is his performance of "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding", which was riveting, to say the least. Is that Joan Baez sitting in the shadows behind him onstage? Is the audio of this performance still available to purchase anywhere on any CD? Thank you for bringing this to UA-cam, and for all the fine editing work. This song, this performance is kind of Exhibit A for the argument that Dylan richly deserved that Nobel Prize in literature.
This is marvelous, SP. Thanks for the very interesting back story on footage and performance, and of course, for your talented and hard work putting the whole package together.
We watched the Albert Hall concert in'65 ..this and Gates of Eden amongst others..left us speechless ...we had watched the Joan Baez concert a couple of weeks before ....BBC Sat night about 10.30 The Dylan tape was used again ,the powers that were didn't think worth keeping !! have got goosebumps talking about it
I believe there is MORE of MR TamB Man from the DA pennebaker bootleg video (NOT on youtube) of 10 complete songs (when you edit them together from various shows and only ONE song is incomplete-that being GAtes OF Eden we only get half of it. FOr sure he didnt film that complete. I have to FIND my DVD of the Pennebaker outtakes--and hope it will load into the laptop to see if My version is clean./ I know it was in EXX quality what I had. None the less what you did here is GREAT.& Wonderful!
Thank you!!! This is undoubtedly a rare treasure! His pensivity depicting such happy albeit lonely emotion while sketching out a dreamlike experience and desire for complete liberation. It is animated fine art! This song is a true masterpiece with its mingling of art forms: music, poetry, visual, and even dance! His words let you in and you find yourself awake in an incredible dream!❤️
She is not speaking…she is writing. We needn’t, and indeed shouldn’t, write as we speak. They are entirely different modes of expression…which gets to reason we listen to Dylan sing…yet another mode of expression, and one which he long ago mastered.
I was in second year at high school when i first hear Bob. It wasn't this song, it was Like a Rolling Stone....the Byrds were belting this out at the time. I'm 67 now.
In 1965, as part this same tour, he did 2 shows for the BBC. Both were broadcast on consecutive Saturday evenings in July of that year. Unfortunately the BBC either lost or destroyed the tapes, never to be seen again. This takes me right back to that time when I was lucky enough to see the shows at the age of 14. It was my first glimpse of Dylan and I was totally enthralled.
@@SwinginPig Hi, I've looked at what you've got and see that you only have some songs from both concerts with quite a few missing. I actually have complete copies of both concerts. I went looking quite a few years ago and found a guy who had recorded them from his cable tv link in 65 and he sent them all to me. I have lost contact details for this guy but would be happy to send these if you wish.
@@stewartadams6360 Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. However, I actually do have the whole concert. If you read the description, you'll see that I had to omit those from the video due to copyright reasons (the video would have been removed from UA-cam if I included those songs). That's amazing that you knew the guy who recorded them, he's a legend. Did you ever make it any Dylan concerts?
@@SwinginPig The first and only Dylan concert I got to was 5 years ago in the Royal Albert Hall in London. My daughter bought the tickets as a Christmas present. It was fabulous but not a place for sentiment. Anyone going along expecting to hear the "old stuff" the way he used to do it would be sorely disappointed. He did some older material but with completely different arrangments.I should have done this many years ago.
The wife took me to New York for my 60th. Did some research to find out where The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album cover was photographed. Jones Street, Greenwich Village. That was it, had to go there are get photographed in Bobs footsteps. Long story short, i got my photo taken in Jones Street....muchos glee. Got home and compared my photos with the album, something was wrong......wrong end of Jones Street. It's only 437ft long and i got it wrong. If you have the same idea, it's the end where the Slaughtered Lamb pub is. I have to go back.
lol.. ! I lived near there and walked those streets often . Never saw Bob or Suzy , but I’m not so good with faces. Next time bring a Freewheelin album for reference . 🕊
I prefer this live version because the harmonica solo isn't overly long. I also noticed that the video was edited with some other footage as sometimes he is clearly using a capo (on 4 or 5, it's not clear, but it sounds like it is on 2) and at other times there is no capo. Thank you for explaning that in the comments. Nothing like a BD solo with just acoustic guitar and neck rack. Did they use soundboards in 1965 or is this just the House PA system? So authentic.
Swingin' pig you're the Man! Yep! To dance beneath a diamond sky while his Harmonica drives our minds throughout the cosmic space into a Land of Beauty/Plenty & Gold. A Place where Peace & quite rest together/ where zero Is not the Number & black Is not the colour. & Yeah, we're ready to follow you everywhere! You the cooliest guy in all the Universe! Dear Swingin' these posts of yours are really priceless! They are the strongest stuff on UA-cam. That's for sure!. What can I say to you? Nothing honestly nothing. Only this One: "boy go & follow your Heart"!.💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
My favourite version of this incredible song, which he had written for his 1964 album Another Side Of, but recorded it on my favourite Dylan album, Bringing It all back home, is the one he sings on the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue. On that tour he just capture's Tambourine Man so majestically. I love this version, and it's a privelage to see it. Why haven't the Bootleg Series released his Acoustic 1965 tours. They would be much better than the Live In 1964 Halloween concert.
Dylan achieved some sort of perfection in 1965 using just guitar, harmonica, and his voice. He HAD to do something different to go further in his artistic journey - just how far he (and we) would discover in the following 60+ years.
I was at this concert at the Empire Liverpool , the first half you could hear a pin drop , second half booing !!!! from some of the crowd, They probably regret that for the rest of there lives .....shame what a career this icon has had WOW ......
Still lookin at this big bay. They tell me there is some hotel 🏨 up the hill. The Wild West of W as spectacular as the Wild West of Oyerland. I just want a bath and a bed.
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship My senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun It's not aimed at anyone It's just escaping on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facing And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time It's just a ragged clown behind I wouldn't pay it any mind It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted frightened trees Out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
take me home with you mr tamburine man and we willgo rumbling together bob honey too long i am living in misery and solitude and is time to turn new page in our lives
My big bro now decided he doesn’t want to meet me in Lndn. Saves me the train fare. Obviously Deirdre Intervention. Very soon now I’m changing my name, removing any identifiers I can find, all gadgets, and am gonna reignite my dual nationality. And if my siblings ever want to sell the feckin house, they cannot do it unless we’re all in the same room to sign it off. The five of us. So I no longer give a fuck about it. But I’m not letting them have what’s their’s unless they realise they also have to give me what’s mine. Dreary Day won’t give me what my father left me. I told him if I don’t get it by today I’m going to set my dogs on her. That’ll be my mate the lawyer.
Really bro! This is a rare shot of him performing one of his all time classics and that's how you see this master at work! what kind of fan are you!!??
I was privileged to have gone to this concert in Liverpool still a fan 56 years later.

This is some of the best early Dylan footage I have seen.
Top notch high bar man this just came down the wire. I'm on top of a mountain in the Scottish Borders and I've just kicked my pal out of the tent as he's doesn't like Bob to much tough luck the midges can eat him
😂
Fabulous job! I hope you enjoyed doing it half as much as we all enjoy watching. Thank you!
What a great find, Wonderful performance of an outstanding song. Revolutionary is the understatement.
Another beautiful rendition of the greatest song ever written no exaggeration. Thank you for putting this together Swingin. I swear this footage & recording should be in the Smithsonian or National Gallery of Art or something. Truly an American treasure.
Thank you so very much for all the time and effort you put into this. A true treasure. So grateful!
The articulate artistry of this performance is exquisite. A gift for all to applaud and enjoy like none other in my lifetime. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this. I was at this gig. I was a student at Cardiff. Hitched up to Liverpool with a few friends. Was an amazing experience. I remember him singing 'Talkin World War III Blues' - tweaking the lyrics eg from "It was Rockaday Johnny, singing..." to "It was Donovan - whoever Donovan is..".

Interesting to hear how his harmonica solo evolved on the same song a year later in 1966.

God bless Bob Dylan.
Nobody writes music like this now. And I don’t thing anyone ever will again.
such a fast version !! lol love u bob ! such a funny guy ! and what else !!! 😍😍😍😍☺☺☺
Que bueno es Dylan , 👍✌️

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone
It's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
One time a Thanksgiving to Gunn. Just one single time.
