I actually breathed the same air as Dylan. Etemperar coffee house. 1978. Up front. He sang solo. Just Bob and his guitar. I'm was just a lucky girl from Minnesota.
And people are still booing him. He is very disconnected from the audience and he is not on point. Just left his concert in Orlando and people were walking out and booing him.

To amplify... This footage is of Bob Dylan playing a surprise set with The Heartbreakers at Willie Nelson’s 2023 Farm Aid Festival on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at Noblesville, Indiana. This was his first return to the annual charity event that he helped to create 38 years ago, on September 22, 1985. According to Rolling Stone magazine, Dylan came on stage with the Heartbreakers, unannounced and in the dark, at about 10:20 pm on the Saturday night. About 1 minute or so into the set, Dylan starts to sign "Maggie's Farm", the lights come up a little and the audience then realises who it is! They played three songs - ‘Maggie’s Farm’, ‘Positively 4th Street’ and ‘Ballad of a Thin Man’. Dylan played at the inaugural Farm Aid back in 1985 with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Marvellous, marvellous stuff...
This was NOT Dylan's first return to Farm Aid since the original event in 1985, which he helped give rise to through his remarks at Live Aid a few months earlier, Dylan also appeared a second time, again with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, at Farm Aid II on July 4, 1986. The main event was held at Manor Downs Racetrack in Manor, TX that year. But Dylan, Petty & the Heartbreakers, as well as the Grateful Dead all joined the show via a live satellite feed from Rich Stadium in Buffalo, NY. I know because I'll never forget the first time I saw Dylan perform "Across the Borderline," a song written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, and Jim Dickinson, during the Farm Aid II broadcast. I'd never heard the song before and his performance was arresting. Someone included this mistake in an early article about Dylan's surprise appearance at Farm Aid 2023, and it keeps getting picked up and repeated every time anyone mentions Dylan's Farm Aid performance this year.
@@peterweisz6973not true. This WAS recorded on Saturday at Farm Aid because Mike Campbell, Steve Ferrone and The Dirty Knobs were playing for us in Connecticut
Thank u so much to upload these moments of grace… Bob is standing in the center of stage with a guitar in his hands…what a dream…! An incredible three songs…
Thank you for sharing ,this video is so precious, to see Bob at 82 still punching out three songs from the sixties ,it’s a blast from the past. It’s phenomenal.
This performance brought me to tears ~, ~ of joy. I can't say enough about the majesty of how this is pure Bob on so many levels, fresh as freewheeling yet there he is, in the flesh just a week ago and still the best. Playing magnificent guitar too.
Superb surprise! Gonna see him again and he decided to perform on my Birthday in November! I cannot wait!!! I saw him do Maggie's Farm Newport 1965 and Thin Man 2019. This was so special!
Amazing how this man continues to tour and evidently has energy Galore of course he loves his profession, sounds better than 10 years back. Keep singing Bob 💕
@@peterschmitz6446 Please do not put such negative comments! Bob is totally amazing! Have you ever performed live for over sixty years or influenced generations of other artist and fans like Bob has? We are so fortunate he is among us and sharing his art!
Great great great,,,, sit down, everyone sits,,, great doing Thinman ,,, 🎸 Wonderful performace.... I will never get bored listening to Bob Dylan. What a fantastic Musician !! Jane The Musicality of Bob Dylan. 🎹
Thank you mr .bob .the light is here . No longer blowin in the wind 😍😍😍love you mr bob Dylan. You spoke to my heart when i was a young girl .this is the moment we have been waiting for. The light is finally here ❤❤❤
Positively Fourth Street probably MY Favorite Bob Dylan song from the '60's brings back alot of Nastalgia from those days. All 3 Songs Are Absolutely PERFECT. THANKS SO MUCH Wools. Great Job & Much Appreciate Ya. 👍 xxx
Great to hear you playing guitar again Bob. You are like top quality Port you just get better and better. I love the newer albums and the album's around slow train coming but all your work is so good I never get bored with it all these years later. You are like Ali you are KO.
Good to see the legend Bob Dylan performing and sounding good. Many of his peers are either dead or no longer active due to the realities of old age. This is a gem of a performance.
Over the years the Stones have turned into a commercial enterprise cash cow, always playing the same numbers on tour. They should have stopped when Charlie deceased.
Saw this live. I had no idea what was happening after Neil Young apparently cut his set short. The monitors were turned off, I was too far back to get a good look at who was on stage, and the possibility that Bob Dylan would show up and play a surprise set didn't even register as a possibility. So when he started playing, I thought, "They're having a Bob Dylan tribute band introduce Willie?" That then became, "Hey, this guy even sounds like Bob Dylan. Pretty cool." Then like halfway through Positively 4th Street, and after noticing that more people had pulled their phones out to record this performance than literally anything else the entire day, I leaned over to my gf and said, "Holy shit that's actually Bob Dylan." Then I got home and read that not only was Bob Dylan, it was Bob Dylan AND the Heartbreakers. Absolutely wild night.
Thank you for sharing this. I learned too play guitar back in 75 . My first song book for guitar was “Highway 61 Revisited “ I’m still playing them songs. To see Bob doing them at 82 yes. Wow .
Bless this man. Time wreaks havoc on the rest of us, eats away at us, does its ever increasing damage, feels like it destroys us: and then he comes along and undoes it with his unexpected magic. He's the gift which keeps on giving.
I'm in London, but right now, thanks to your message, I think I've just been transported over the Moon! If you're really reading this, Mr. Bob Dylan, I wish you and yours a Christmas filled with as much Love and Light and Joy as you've given to countless people, and I hope the New Year brings you and your loved ones all the blessings of Good Health, Great Happiness and, of course, the Very Best of Luck! XXX
Over the last couple of years, his voice has shaken off its rust. It was great to see him on guitar again. I hope he continues to play guitar on tour, at least for a few songs each night.
Everything about this is pure, unfiltered Bob. The weird descending guitar on Maggies, the incredible phrasing on Positively, and the "i'm not done" guitar solo after the clearly rehearsed ending on Thin Man. So good. And I love that Benmont plays those familiar organ licks fearlessly and with intent. God love them all.
That was the Heartbreakers and Tom back when they toured with Bob in the mid 80s .. defer to the legend and keep a solid backbeat. Never overplay. Know the licks and know your place.
Re the weird chromatically-descending guitar riff on Maggies: he used a very similar riff in the chorus of the live version used in the video of "Cold Irons Bound" from the film "Masked and Anonymous" (directed by Borat director Larry Charles.)
Holy reunion batman! This is everything! Thank you for playing together! Love you all soso much!! okay I did actually cry tears of joy to see them all back together and back with Bob.
Sounded great! Thanks Bob, Heartbreakers!

Love you sister
Most of the people that booed him in 1965 when he went electric are either dead or in assisted living, while Bob’s still performing.
😂😂😂
Facts
And people are still booing him. He is very disconnected from the audience and he is not on point. Just left his concert in Orlando and people were walking out and booing him.

“ I don’t wanna hear him preach if I wanted to go to church… I’d go to church, can’t believe I showed up to this show”

The most amazing thing today…. Bob Dylan!!! God Bless him. 🎉❤
God bless you Bob. The greatest ever. I'm 80 and I've been with you since the start. I'd willingly give 10,000dollars to do it all again.
He seems to be getting better with age. I'm 78 and still get into his music like I did when it first came out
$10,000 - at the drop of a hat
Going to finally see Dylan live soon! I’m so beyond excited.
