- This is Bob Dylan's solo acoustic performance of "Song to Woody" from the 30 Anniversary Concert, October 16, 1992, at Madison Square Garden. This is the song they told us was not recorded at that concert, but here it is, taken from a VHS recording of the original television broadcast.
This full concert is in my heart forever. My parents recorded it on vhs tape and so i never will forget it
LOVE Beloved George Introducing Bobby here. This is a Beautiful Tribute t BD's Mentor & Folk Hero. What a blessing & comfort BD must have brought t this Great American hero.
This performance is a musical masterpiece! I cherish it! I love that Bob picked " A Song to Woddy"
Woody *typo. I think I know why he picked this song. Now that I know a little more about Woody Guthrie!!❤ 😉
@hyuigf is also my UA-cam channel 🙃
It becomes more unbelievable when you think about it this guy is still singing on the world’s stages 30 years later. I hated his drunk-man’s concert when I especially went to Paris to watch Bob live in Paris in ‘82 20y old myself but I love this artist so much today whom I am so inspired by every day. This by the way is a great version of a great song which was just fucked up because the technician did not properly connect his guitar or so: Bob did’t notice and I don’t care because his performance remains genius! Thanks Bob for sharing your emotions for Woody so honestly! RIP WOOODY & GOD BLESS BOB DYLAN 🕺🏾🎤🎸@misterpatrickmusic
I think you may mean '92. Bob was not touring in '82 after his world tour of '81. He was drinking heavily, it is said, on the tours of '91 and '92. By '94 and '95 he was in top form again.
I saw the 92 drunk concert .. among about 12 other shows. He was my first show with the band. I was at the night for the hurricane. I saw him with petty I fell in love the first time I heard his voice.
This is a gem of a performance
My friend and I listened to this back then, and when finally Bob came on singing this song, it gave me goosebumps all over. A raw and honest tribute to his hero. Intense and emotional singing. If you listen to his concerts in ´92, this performance was among the best. An amazing transformation took place from around 89 to 94/95, from low-down gritty, drunken, burned out - to standing tall, singing clear, articulate and powerful.
My Father reminded me of this performance. It's his favorite from the concert, and now mine as well
It was his faith in Jesus.
Dylan is about human communication and integrity and writing. Not about great singing, Thank you for contributing this classic to youtube!
Lots of his singing is wonderful to me!...wait a minute, most of it, gotta love Dylan if you love him.....he is so Unique !!! that's what I love about him.
@@dreamitable Ehhh, but his current singing is nasty much of the time, I think because of his cigarette smoking. Be as it may, I agree that it is part of his persona who is an icon of American civilization. A Rembrandt of our time, err, a Dylan of our time. The original. The one and only! How very privileged we are that God sent him in many of our own lifetimes.
Bob DYLAN. IS SO. GREAT
He can sing v well but not here lol
Maybe you don't know what great singing is.
I love this mans voice. ❤
yea, me too, all versions ✨🤍🕊
Bob has an amazingly beautiful voice. It's insane
Me too
It hits real deep for those of us that get it, right?
@@superfuzzymomma exactly 💯
Thanks so much for posting this.
I was there, and it was certainly a thrill that he sang this iconic song.
I’ve always said Dylan is an “acquired taste.” And there is so much to savor!
💯
Thank you.
Unbelievable! Back to the roots! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The genius of Dylan,
Dank James K Baxter👌💫! Live performance is always so good🌺🎶🌷 This one I never heard yet!
Will search for more versions!
Thanks Woody🌺 always here
Thanks Dylan🌺❣️🌷🌞🌹
It is pure emotion! We know the history that meeting, Dylan and Woody, know how must be difficult to sing this song... I am an stranger and I am emotioned... Bob Dylan must be emotioned too when He sings this song... If the heaven exist, Wood must be smiling and blessing Bob Dylan, all the time...
Stunning. Master of music. “A broken Angel sings from a guitar {💔}:=}

THIS SONG WAS A VERY HEARTFELT, ARTISTIC TRIBUTE TO HIS FRIEND
A gem
His entire career was inspired by Woody.
.
I’m out here a thousand miles from my home
Walking a road other men have gone down
I’m seeing your world of people and things
Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings
Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
About a funny old world that’s a-coming along
Seems sick and it’s hungry, it’s tired and it’s torn
It looks like it’s a-dying and it’s hardly been born
Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
All the things that I’m a-saying an a-many times more
I’m a-singing you the song, but I can’t sing enough
Because there’s not many men that done the things that you’ve done
Here’s to Cisco and Sonny and Leadbelly too
And to all the good people that traveled with you
Here’s to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind
I’m a-leaving tomorrow, but I could leave today
Somewhere down the road someday
The very last thing that I’d want to do
Is to say I’ve been hitting some hard traveling too
Maestro!!!
The master of the master. 🕊🌻🌻🌻🕊.I'm a leaving tomorrow but i could leave today .🕊🌻🕊
He had a way with words .. could string 'em together and throw them in the air and they would land making sense.
This never made the album and disappeared without a trace for many years. Great to hear it again after all this time. I was at the show and this was his best performance of the night
this was on his first album actually
I was referring to the 30th Anniversary concert cd set
Brilliant Bob great Lyric's especially now all these year's down the line!
♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
I know why it was made to disappear now, cos its shi@e
Sweetest Song to Woody EVER!
Aw, love this guy, I went to a concert at the Fox Theatre in Detroit and I was upset Bob changed the way he sang my favorite songs of him...so the ticket was a lot for us at the time $30 each, and I walked myself up to the stage to get a better look of him...bc I thot, gotta get something outa this....but now I don't care if he changes things :) I am so thankful for his music !!!
❤
Man this video pulls at my heart strings! Such REAL emotion here! MIND BLOWING and BEAUTIFUL !!
This voice can cut stones....😎😍
Bob Dylan is the only singer who doesn't makes me bored
he also did Girl from North Country acoustic at concert....
I've been looking for this for years. Thank you!
I was at this concert 🎶
Lucky
For people who might not know, this song was recorded on his self-titled debut album. Dylan rarely played songs from that album because he was so uncomfortable with it. This is a man paying tribute to a hero of his. Woody's daughter, Nora Guthrie, was in one of the front rows - Dylan knew this. It is reported that Nora was moved to tears, touched by Dylan taking time to honor her Dad when everyone else was honoring him.
Thank you for sharing!
機材トラブルかなんかで、消えてしまった曲ですね…。その為、ビデオテープやCDには収録されなかった幻のトラックです。
私は当時、BS放送を録画していたのですが、そのビデオテープを紛失してしまいました😭
貴重な映像を本当にありがとうございます😊
I was looking so hard for this one!!! Thank you!
Love bob
Love this❤️
Bobby wrote the words. He should sing the song. I appreciate his voice and unique and lovely are the words I would use to describe his voice. Who else but the songwriter knows how it should be sang?
Thnx so much 4 this very great version !
Thank you for
yor for
"likes"! ...
Just Bob with his guitar harmonica paying tribute to Woody.
Beautiful
Nobody gets an audience to be quiet like this.
I think this was the last time he played solo with just acoustic guitar and harmonica
Thank you! 🤍🙏
Amen
Mito e leggenda!
Artista completo di grande carisma e fascino
I saw this live on pay pre view. Dylan seemed so nervous. On My Back Pages he re-recorded the vocals. I saw Dylan live during this time and he was not good at all. I think it’s great how he rebounded a few years later and was great live.
I was at the show too...Bob didnt like people making a fuss about him and he was a bit nervous as he rarely played songs without backup band since 1966
Several references to Woody songs eg 'That come with the dust and are gone with the wind' 'Pastures of Plenty', 'The very last thing that I'd want to do, Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too 'Hard Travelling'.
I was about to comment with a request for the references. Thanks. I think there might be more and the melody might be from a Woody song.
Brilliant
Song To Woody

T hose who believe Dylan cannot sing (and there are many) have never really listened to his full cata tlogue. As he aged he became adverse to playing the songs in the same way. He needed to keep them alive to himself so he changed them and became more stylized which was sometimes annoying to those who loved the originals (myself included). However if you want an artist to be original, you cannot fault him for trying to keep experimenting. He is definetly one of the greatest singers and of course, songwriters of all time. Pretty good painter too for that matter.
@@oldmaneric5646
Amen to that!
I say these things all the time.
Also the fact that being a fan gives us no right to dictate how an artist expresses their art! 💛
The problem was that the guitar wasn't recorded, it can only be heard through the vocal mic. Great performance, though.
Bob has such a unique and brilliant way of playing harmonica. It is so bad, it is achingly beautiful. His singing is so awful, and yet it is truly wonderful and sincere without affectation. His lyrics aren't actually good poetry when you read them on the page, but they are deeper than the sea and quench the soul. His guitar playing is rhythmically so erratic and yet it makes us want to swish and sway as he strums. His dancing is so Dad-like, but I love dancing with my dad. And when we are all dust and no one remembers him (long after no one remembers a sad, useless loser like me), no one will know that this life was such an utterly useless, long and painful horror show. The man is a genius.
haha a very back handed complement
wrong on all counts; last line correct...
@@knockedoutloaded279 Even though your comment is slightly out of tune, I couldn't agree more. He is the impossible genius that no one would have predicted. Especially when he blows on about 6 or 7 holes of his harmonica, feeling for the sound-switch in the darkness, "glissandoing" like the blind.
Splendido genio
Amo a arte destes músicos letristas...
Bob Dylan, com a sua voz inconfundível, anasalada.
So easy to criticize…
There were technical problems apparently, which is why it never made the album. I think Bob’s guitar wasn’t plugged in, or something like that. It was only audible through the stage monitors. You can hear the plug in happen when he starts the next song, It’s Alright Ma. Just as he drops the E string to D.
Yeah, come on sound people..it's freakin' BOB DYLAN...at least get his sound right...1 voice 1 flat-top...GEEZ !
@@mikeheaphy He didnt go to most of the rehearsal. So this is what happened when you dont rehearse.
@@Piggy-Oink-Oink Nah...sorry...nothing to do with it...only two mics and one not on...their fault, not his !
Great - I have there - thanks for this song
class .
I think that this song is for Woody Guthrie who also has charisma in his own right "can't find a home anymore " ,,,This Land is your land...."like Dylan, writes.sings,,and performed from his spirit ✌❤
Should have stayed lost, this performance..
My finger hurts because I put so many positive comments on BD 🎶👍😁
I can feel the roughness of his voice coming through my phone's speaker on to my hand lol
When I was a kid first getting into the better half of popular???? Music. I collected about 4 vhs tapes. He seemed so lost at that time. I felt so miserable about it. I was pretty miserable myself. In a way though, listening, I realised for the first time as a growing kid. That I was not alone! Xxx
Hes got a special sound,, but ages make it different,, think its good,, fr Trine 🌼🐖🌹🐈🐱
תודה רבה
Hey Bob,
It sounds as if you love Woody with all your heart and soul. I can't say enough about listening to the pure, raw and brutality honest way this song makes me feel about woody. Would you like to support The Woody Guthrie Center? Our mission is to promote and perpetuate Woody's life and legacy of justice through the arts. With your help, his message can reach and inspire future change makers like me. Even a small donation can help.
Kind Regards
😻
The above channel is also mine 🙃
The best protest songs transcend the politics of the moment . Woody Guthrie and Dylan wrote ‘em.
Jeff Wells should try listening to Alfie Boe's Robot singing.This is what some of us can't stomach.You have to be shock-proof to listen to Bob.Imagine Engelbert Whatsisname having a go ay this.
Wowowowowowowow ❤💕🔑🏆🍯⭐️🕶🍺👑💛
I love Dylan so much but sometimes it's like he just hates singing
It doesnt really matter though
What presence
I recall the Ed Bradley interview where Bob admitted putting out bad album(s). Bob told Rolling Stone in 2012 of feelings he was "corporatized" as early as '65. And the ever present fans that kept saying; "he owed them". No matter how he sings, they'll keep on returning.
Prophet if he was born under a star hed be the one we'd all be worshiping
Is it running rolling?
Bob is the only person on Earth who gets away with such *atrocious* singing!
You should listen to Woody Guthry and you'd see where he got what you call "atrocious singing."
@@roncarpenter7240 I disagree: Woody sang with down-home sincerity which was quite listenable and which inspired Bob in his early days. Woody was *always* listenable to me, whereas Bob just didn't give a fuck after a few years - but he *could* sing well when the occasion demanded it, as in when he wanted to sell albums.
Post your singing or Credentialing to deserve a comment both so bold, and peculiar.
It is not really Pavarotti but he sings with something that you will never have: the sound of the soul. And the poet who lives on in it eternally is superior to any voice. Dylan has the voice of life itself free from hypocrisy.
ua-cam.com/video/JKD4y1cmu_w/v-deo.html So you stop saying nonsense
What was the occasion for this concert?
East Orange…
he’s the one who killed 4 a clock tea & cake party singing
his voice cuts like a straight razor
Luciano Pavarotti eat your heart out.
Damn, the man can't sing, but what a legend, I have some of his cds..
)Many "singers" can't sing, some can't even stay in tune, i.e. Dylan, but they have a style and put it over well.
The man keeps singing, he wins grammys, his albums are great and you stayed at a 1991 concert. You can NEVER oust Dylan without ousting rock at all.
Guitar muted ? no guitar at all in the audio
Appropriate he chose to sing this first at this tribute to Dylan.
Why is the guitar so low
cause I'm thinking no.
Yeah that's great... like fingers on a chalkboard... telling from the comments I'm reading it's like the emperor wears no clothes scenario relating to Bob Dylan up on stage there
Amazing how someone with a pronounced nasal voice can be a superstar singer
BobDylan está imitando MortinhodaSilva.
🤣👌
had his voice changed? Or this purposely done?
his voice wasnt at its best during this period.His voice had certainly changed over the years for example...ua-cam.com/video/uSdVOEKW5YA/v-deo.html
the older Dylan gets the more he looks like Adam Sandler
ive always thought this
Sounds like my ventriloquist dummy
yeah not his best performance
What yea is this 89ish?
1992, the 30th Anniversary concert
It wasn’t a voice, it was a sound- and you either liked it or you didn’t. I loved it til the early 2000s then it became an unpleasant noise. Luckily the bootleg career continues
Well Bob is sounding extra specially shit in this one. I used to know James K btw, although (tbh) I was 6 at the time. He was more friends with the folks.
Bob has such a unique and brilliant way of playing harmonica. It is so bad, it is achingly beautiful. His singing is so awful, and yet it is truly wonderful and sincere without affectation. His lyrics aren't actually good poetry when you read them on the page, but they are deeper than the sea and quench the soul.

The man is a genius.
@OnceTheyNamedMEiWasn't David Byrne once said "The better your voice, the harder it is for people to believe what you're singing", and I think he's possibly right.
He does sometimes butcher his own songs, but all in all, it was good finding this song.
Shame Sony!
A genius for sure but a creepy guy still.
Personally I believe as he got older his music got worse with some gems you could see the passion was still there but even as he said writing gets harder the more you do because those ideas you had when you were younger aren't there because you had already done them and yea his voice was never pretty and he never claimed it to be but it started to get unbearable as he got older I dident hate it when he was young but he still is a great musician no matter what he is a fantastic writer fairly creative at guitar and puts out what he likes and what he thinks sounds good so we gotta give him props for that
A parody of a parody of a parody of himself (whoever himself is).
This performance isn't/wasn't lost. But if it ever were, it should have stayed that way. It's terrible. Love me some Bob Dylan, more times than not, but C'mon...
DYLAN, do I want to see Guthrie in psych hospital ?
It's obviously NOT lost.
massive bob fan but afraid his voice sounded dreadful around this time. Afraid there was a steady decline from 1981 onwards
From his Donald Duck soundalike days.
He can’t sing is something stuck up his nose.
His voice sounds so different from all the 30 years before. Could it be his nerves? Worst rendition ever.
It sounds way better here than a few more years after this in my opinion... and better here than when he played with the Dead
Bob is deliberately trying to sound like a hillbilly here..
Alter Mann trete endlich ab, Du bist kein Augen- und kein Ohrenschmaus mehr, sondern mehr eine Zumutung für den guten Geschmack !
