It gives tear to my eyes every time I dive into.Dylans masterpieces. I love you Bob Dylam from thousands of miles away from you from a country you once sang for in 1971 at MSG. Love from Bangladesh.
He has always been an artist that makes songs that make people think. All the greatist hits really paint pictures in your head as you listen. His voice has gone these days, but I still think he can still sing. He is making some great music these days.
When Bob Dylan started performing I don't really think he'd be honoured like this. He doesn't play to be honoured. He plays to play. And that's what music is all about.
Bob, I loved U from the 1960's, 0h, what a 'gift' from God U are. I loved U in the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's all the way up til now, 2013... U cannot stop mesmerising me. It is not possible..Oh how I love to hear you sing. Your voice is victorious! I have loved watching U grow right before my eyes, and here u are at 72 !! and still the 'touched' man U have always been to me. Dylan is a household 'word' in my home, passed down to my children. Countless times we have sang your songs together as a family, with friends, and I especially love to sing U myself. What joy U have brought into my heart...I truly love U.. Kelti, OKC
Bob, I have seen many of your concerts in my day and it is my dying wish to see you standing at my front door...I will never forget Ft. Collins, you leaned down and just smiled straight at me. haaaaaaa....
this is the highest honor any music artist could ever receive this was in 1997 , bob dylan is the greatest song writer of the 20th century , brain wilson might be 2nd or maybe lennon or mccartney or perhaps jimmy page
If I ever was to get on a stage and in front of a podium to say or give a speech about Bob Dylan's career and his talent, it would be very, very brief. Just a simple "Wow". Anybody that knows anything about music, poetry and art would completely understand.
Dylan's great contribution to rock/pop was that lyrically he opened up the subject matter. Pre-Dylan, pop songs only dealt with pubescent love or sometimes they'd really go way out there & sing about cars. Post-Dylan, anything & everything was up for grabs.
well deserved award and more. Bob has been the voice of our collective conscience. He's the ruler of this planet...:-) Yeah, he's modest and does get embarrased !
I'm still jealous of suze rotolo...lol! Dylan trying to salute Gregory peck in such a cute and humble way is why I love him so much. fyi... there are some ultra-cool bob Dylan shirts at etsy
He never liked to be famous. And he didn't know this when he was young. Yes, his words are poetry and his music is straight and goes deep in our hearts. Everybody knows him. If he just wanted to get famous, he never would have wrote this songs. But it's his fault. You can't expect to be famous and nobody knows you. It's a kind of tragedy. Dylan fought a lot with thtat. But the gift, that he gave us, he cannot undo. Sorry, Bob.
You're right but I said pop songs, not folk songs. Dylan was the first artist to take a folk sensibility (i.e. protest songs, social issues, politics) & crossover successfully with it to rock/pop.
I feel so sorry for him.. Imagen 1000 people standing and applauding for you and knowing that a billion people see you as some kind of messiah, while all you've ever done is fulfilling your passion. It is too much for a man to bare, i completely understand his awkwardness here
@werobanks You've never seen the Kennedy Center Honors before? What's hanging around his neck is the special award that he received from the President. All the honorees wear them.
1st tune is "Man in the long Black Coat" from his 1989 album Oh Mercy. 2nd piece with the blusey harmonica i'm not too sure about. It might not even be him.
Right when the video tribute ends, and you see a long shot of him in the balcony, doesn't it look as if he's whiping away tears? I think he was very moved. Uncomfortable, but moved.
Very powerful, thanks much. It brought tears to my eyes 4 so many reasons, cause: I have always loved Dylan's music and Brownsville Girl is one of my faves, Gregory Peck is gone, Dylan with the Clintons, Sam Waterson in the crowd, etc. It makes it all to clear that in the age of Bush none of that Clinton era enlightenment is here.
Bob Dylan is more nonchalant than anybody and he looks as if he probably did not want to be there and could be doing something else! LOL Bob we love you so much, you deserve all these awards and honors, whether you like it or not we're going to keep on showing you how much we love you and your just going to have to deal with it dammit LMAO. :)
Dylan's discomfiture is linked to his innate shyness, which goes back to his incredulity at landing on this planet. Sometimes the shyness is mistaken for aloofness or even snobbery (Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar). Here (looking down from above and therefore choosing to look up!) he can't get out of it and takes the medicine.
there's even a bob Dylan light switch cover...it looks pretty damn good actually.....and there's 'record bowl'.......it's an old vinyl Dylan record turned into a salsa bowl.....lol! They got some crazy cool stuff on that site. And yes I agree with you......totally jealous of that sara chick....lol. Have you heard the joan baez cover?
So fortunate to see him last year at the Saenger in New Orleans last year. Always, a lightening rod of creativity to provoke thought and enjoy this small time allotted to us in this realm.
It's funny how it's so obvious who he respects... this is exactly the kind of thing that makes him cringe, but clearly he respects Gregory Peck, so he's putting up with it.

No one will match the power of Dylan's incredible catolog of masterpieces
Wrong. You don’t understand how history works.
Right. You understand how history works.
Happy Birthday BOB DYLAN. Greatest artist ever. ❤🇺🇲
This is incredible. I saw this on TV way back when and I cried and the tears are flowing now.
I have loved him forever. His looks, his voice, his music...I am not alone. Everyone who loves Dylan thinks he/she owns him a little.
How true
It gives tear to my eyes every time I dive into.Dylans masterpieces. I love you Bob Dylam from thousands of miles away from you from a country you once sang for in 1971 at MSG. Love from Bangladesh.

Dylan = Infinity
No matter how hard other singers try or how many they become , they can never be even close to Dylan !
Dylan=infinity. Powerful
I've commented on this video before but I'm doing it again. It just amazes me how much influence one man can have upon the world.
Wow, getting honoured by Gregory Peck is really something. 2 of my heroes, dylan & peck x
I love you Bobby.....my beautiful poet. So humble and never part of the game.
We wont see the likes of Dylan again . Thank God he is still creating . The greatest song writer of my lifetime ..hands down .
baler johnson not just ur lifetime but ever
When Bob Dylan started performing I don't really think he'd be honoured like this.
He doesn't play to be honoured. He plays to play. And that's what music is all about.
An original genius, the brightest light in the rock era.

Yeah Bob is so uncomfortable but everything Peck says is true. Great video of two great men.
Nobel or no nobel...Zimmy remains our Age's 'Shakespeare in the alley'. Incomparable, with talent that is immeasurable. In Bob We Trust.
Greatest American songwriter ever.
Bob Dylan is one for the ages.
this is the highest honor any music artist could ever receive this was in 1997 , bob dylan is the greatest song writer of the 20th century , brain wilson might be 2nd or maybe lennon or mccartney or perhaps jimmy page
This was the best class of honorees: Dylan, Bacall, Heston, Norman, and Villela. A true collection of American artistic geniuses.
If I ever was to get on a stage and in front of a podium to say or give a speech about Bob Dylan's career and his talent, it would be very, very brief. Just a simple "Wow". Anybody that knows anything about music, poetry and art would completely understand.
The 1997 Kennedy Center Honors was the best ever. Dylan and Bacall OMG !!!
Dylan's great contribution to rock/pop was that lyrically he opened up the subject matter. Pre-Dylan, pop songs only dealt with pubescent love or sometimes they'd really go way out there & sing about cars. Post-Dylan, anything & everything was up for grabs.
well deserved award and more. Bob has been the voice of our collective conscience. He's the ruler of this planet...:-) Yeah, he's modest and does get embarrased !
there is not a single person living in america who has not been influenced by bob dylan wheather they know it or not
I can't help but wonder if Dylan is sitting there thinking to himself "they still just don't get it".
4:30 is "She Belongs To Me" and 6:14 is "Most of the Time"...two of my absolute favorites! Enjoy the Dylan!
a tour de force, bless this man
I'm still jealous of suze rotolo...lol! Dylan trying to salute Gregory peck in such a cute and humble way is why I love him so much. fyi... there are some ultra-cool bob Dylan shirts at etsy
in lieu of having Lincoln induct him Gregory peck was the perfect choice. fantastic.
i would kill for this on dvd
He so well deserves it, now he has a gong and Pullizer Prize too. a cute modest hero!
He never liked to be famous. And he didn't know this when he was young. Yes, his words are poetry and his music is straight and goes deep in our hearts. Everybody knows him. If he just wanted to get famous, he never would have wrote this songs.
But it's his fault. You can't expect to be famous and nobody knows you. It's a kind of tragedy. Dylan fought a lot with thtat.
But the gift, that he gave us, he cannot undo. Sorry, Bob.
Brownsville Girl is the best song in the whole world.
You're right but I said pop songs, not folk songs. Dylan was the first artist to take a folk sensibility (i.e. protest songs, social issues, politics) & crossover successfully with it to rock/pop.
what song is the first song they play when they start to show the videodocumentary? Does anyone know?
I love Bob Dylan. We share the same birthday.
I feel so sorry for him.. Imagen 1000 people standing and applauding for you and knowing that a billion people see you as some kind of messiah, while all you've ever done is fulfilling your passion. It is too much for a man to bare, i completely understand his awkwardness here
do you have a jessye norman and lauren bacall kennedy center honor? the honoree is the same year of bob dylan
dylan must be the most amazing man ever
Amazing! Excellent! Long live Bob! If you have any other Kennedy Center Honors broadcasts, please, please, please upload them!
@werobanks You've never seen the Kennedy Center Honors before? What's hanging around his neck is the special award that he received from the President. All the honorees wear them.
what was the song that opened the documentary?
even this does not come close to what that man has done
What's the first song on the tribute video?
Anyone know the names of the first 2 tunes playing when the review of Dylan's career plays?
1st tune is "Man in the long Black Coat" from his 1989 album Oh Mercy. 2nd piece with the blusey harmonica i'm not too sure about. It might not even be him.
bob is god!!!! will be the biggest musical influence ever.. never surpassed...dylan forever..
About Time thanks Bob you have given so much meaning to our lives
Who else performed in honour of Bob? I know Springsteen performed Times they are a changing...who else?
Not a single fuck was giving that day lol Bob Dylan is the shit! :D
What year is that?
Does anyone know which songs were performed?
why this not in HD
"Man in the long black coat", from the record "Oh Mercy".
Right when the video tribute ends, and you see a long shot of him in the balcony, doesn't it look as if he's whiping away tears? I think he was very moved. Uncomfortable, but moved.
Congrats Bob! Keep the songs coming!
Very powerful, thanks much. It brought tears to my eyes 4 so many reasons, cause: I have always loved Dylan's music and Brownsville Girl is one of my faves, Gregory Peck is gone, Dylan with the Clintons, Sam Waterson in the crowd, etc. It makes it all to clear that in the age of Bush none of that Clinton era enlightenment is here.
And it keeps getting worse...
i have this on vhs the shirley cesar tribute to dylan was the best it was get on the lords side
i dreamed i saw woody guthrie last night
as alive as you or me
he said "i'm still looking for the revolution
and all i see is celebrity."
Bob Dylan is more nonchalant than anybody and he looks as if he probably did not want to be there and could be doing something else! LOL Bob we love you so much, you deserve all these awards and honors, whether you like it or not we're going to keep on showing you how much we love you and your just going to have to deal with it dammit LMAO. :)
That was lovely, but it must've been so awkward for him!

just AWESOME!
Thx

bill looked a little stiff sitting next to bob. "i'm not worthy!"
Well, there was this movie I seen one time
About a man riding ’cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck
I think it touched Dylan a bit that Peck said those words.
Dylan is number one 🏴👍🕶️🎶😄
Greetings and thanks so much for this vid!
It was such a joy to watch :)
It's funny how it's so obvious who he respects... this is exactly the kind of thing that makes him cringe, but clearly he respects Gregory Peck, so he's putting up with it.
President Kennedy calling me up
what do we need to make the country grow
Anita Ekberg, Brigitte Bardot, Hillary Clinton
bob dylan ,esse é pra poucos ,só pra quem tem cultura ..ass:tinho dylan br
We love love love love love.....you Bobby
he's pulled into it without any control, too much for even the bob
2/3 oh those people haven't one single lp of dylan ..
awesome video
haha he's sooo uncomfortable with this
Bob looks a bit embarrassed and awkward. i guess he will never really know how important he is.
The old dog charming the pants of lauren bacall. Nice one Bob.
Whats the relevance?
I was in my glory that night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what an awesome video.
he looks soooo uneasy! i still dont think he realises how much he means to alot of people.
Actually, I don't believe that Mr. Peck bought Knocked out Loaded.
read his book Chronicles. It makes it all oh so clear.
if that's so, let me do you a favor and tell you to check out his bootlegs. i envy what you will be able to discover!
@Rossonero072213 i know bruce springsteen performed the times they are a changing and shirley cesar performed you gotta serve somebody
Rock on, Bobster!
Thank you
who's the lucky chick who smeared lipstick on his cheek? the video got blurry at this point
well put.
lol @ gregory peck..always reminds me of that family guy
bob dylan hates life
Molto interessante ! Raffaele Italy
Indeed...
To the naysayers if you don't get Dylan then you simply not where it's at🤫
Thanx imwatchingu90 :P
So great he doesn't seem real
Agreed
