- In my opinion, this song is what the Rolling Thunder Revue did best. This is an amazing performance. However, note that the footage is from his Montreal concert, recorded four days earlier than the audio. I could not upload the Montreal concert's audio due to copyright but decided to overdub it with the Madison Square Garden audio. With a little editing magic, it worked out pretty well. If you'd like to hear the superior Montreal performance though, please follow this link: vimeo.com/376499609.
I believe this footage is superior to what was used in Scorsese's documentary. I dare say it's one of Dylan's best-filmed performances of the tour. The way he moves his arms and hands makes you feel like you're looking into another dimension.
More to come soon.
Love & Peace,

Amazing!
Great Job. Thank you!
Happy birth day Bob!
He makes. One HELL OG A MIME.
Thank you so much. I was sure I saw the whole song on my DVDs, (I bought a second because I was sure), but neither ever seemed to play the whole song. 🤷🏼♀️
I love how Bob's the only one who gets to hear his harmonica.
He had to make room for Scarlet's sick ass violin work
The harmonica and violin occupy similar wavelengths and he is promoting people in the band.
If he don't feel it we don't feel it.
Just as well. Those coke days weren't the best for hitting key😁. Loved that performance!
Him & God.
They are all wasted. This proves the right drug can make music immense. I’ve been on stage wasted but this…. is another level. This is a master of his craft.
The best thing about Bob is he can encompass an entire novel's worth of themes into a 5 minute song and have it be cohesive and something with endless substance.
I agree
That because he has never been afraid to have “too many” verses! He just sings them fast so the song isn’t eight minutes, and if the song is eight minutes then it is eight minutes, and he didn’t give a shit! Baez said he composes lyrics like a ticker tape. Some days I do that, too but no one wants to hear mine! 😂😂😂
sci-fi western romance? lol. idk but for sure, especially this song, has epic adventure therein. I like that it really is like a novel, itn't it.
Have a 100!

@@nanchanger Yeah
no. there has always been sickness and death. there will always be sickness and death.
this is the nature of material life, no matter how large of a soccer mom army the public health dictatorship raises or how many bum shots the pharmaceutical demons cash in or how many limitations on love and happiness the executive brigands enact.
one cannot live forever.
Rob Stoner is killing it through this whole set. .... Phenomenal bass playing
Yeah looks like he's speeding his ass off!
Perfect Bass Playing for this Band....Rob is killing ig for sure.
The "Stoner" spit much lead.
indeed
I love Bob’s voice on this tour, how he just belts it out from his gut and I love the band, how it’s just a wonderful riot.
Man, there is good music in the world, but Dylan is something else.
this is one of the most powerful performances of a song i've seen. incredible. The way Dylan spits out these lyrics is a thing to behold.
Exactly how I saw it to. Dylan just spitting these lyrics out with a fevered abandon.
Agreed. At certain points it almost resembles poetry, even rap almost. Incredible performance. My favorite version.
As he said “I learned my song well” it’s a lot of work, too. A full time job. One thing about a success, is that a success works and works and works and works with singular vision. There is no fast or easy route to success. Only ambition can propel talent, for talent without ambition is useless.
I couldn't agree more....clearly, this is the definitive performance of this amazing song!
Cocaine is a wonderful thing
Everyone's playing is so tight and Dylan half-rapping over them is incredible. I hope this doesn't get taken down.
Scarlet rivera looks so badass with the violin and that outfit
She even carried a sword 😉
The element of danger is pretty 🥰
Talk about a real rockstar. She is craazy great!!!
In the documentary he says “she didn’t much, but then, she didn’t have to”
This might be the most badass live performance in music history. Holy shit Bob Dylan rockin out is 🔥🔥🔥💯
"..if you want me to...
YES!"
@gregor samsa 2021 You will never find another music album with more poignant lyrics.
what a line !
I love that enthusiastic YES!! It's not a shy "if you want me to...yeah". He goes in trying to play it cool but at the end he can't hold back his excitement and goes for a full throated YES!! What a beautiful and strange love song.
the performances from 75-76 leave me in such awe, whenever someone wants to discover strong evidence of Bob's ability to sing look no further than the Rolling Thunder Concerts. Nobody sings Bob Dylan like Bob Dylan.
Shoutout to Jacques Levy for his assistance in co-writing Isis with Bob, and the MVP on fiddle Scarlett Rivera 🎻🔥.
Simply Glorious. Thank You, Pig! 👍🤗
Damn, you aren so right Rhys...
F****** a
Discovering that right now ! enjoying every moment
A big shoutout to everyone , you can have a good swim in Dylan
on y.t
What captivates me about this performance, and what strikes me as truly unique about it, are Dylan’s hand gestures. I cannot think of a single other live performance of his where he isn’t hiding behind either a guitar or piano 100% of the time and focusing a certain amount of his attention on that, almost like a shield.
Here there’s a striking lack of barriers between himself and the audience, and he’s just exposed in a way you never usually see.
absolutely insane bass work
so tight
I love how literally everyone in this video looks high as a kite. Bob's clenched fist and antsy jittering, everyone's wide, darting eyes... that said, golly these were incredible performances. Breathtaking sound, amazing visual experience, and I love the energy and the way he sings.
The acoustic guitarist that snarls at Bob’s hand might be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, considering it’s in the middle of such a magical performance.
The amount of coke used on that tour was astounding. The isis performance exemplifies it.
A major blizzard occurred right before they all took stage..... they were all percolating
@@jblo76 The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Rick James
This performance has wild energy! Bob's passionate delivery, Scarlet's gypsy violin spiraling out of control at 2:30 😄
I love Dylan with a passion but our boy here is lit on that yayo. It’s like his musical soul is trying to jump out of his body!
I knew right away he was not ordinary. ❤️❤️❤️
speechless for how good this is.
Me too. How cool
Bob Dylan, the only guy I know who get away with putting white paint on his face and look cool at the same time.
This version of Isis is probably my favorite ❤️
The dude on bass is playing the shit out of this one!
👍👍👍,,, Rob Stoner
What I so love about RTR (among many other things) is that it's a show where Dylan was not playing guitar on a few songs or any other musical instrument. He used his hands and his body in general to perform. It was wild. And I loved it.
Wonderful and powerful performance. And he is still producing great music. Genius
Film is a miracle and takes the ambitious cameramen and women who GET IT DONE, no matter what they have to endure and work it out!!! BLESS THEM ALL!!!!!!~E
To my drunk Uber passenger who recommended this to me.. thank you
You are welcome.
This is beautiful art with music. He is a great gift in our times.
You have to love how he goes away from the mic when he plays the harmonica hahahaha. Man the musicians are so good! everybody is doing a lot of stuff while playing and you can hear every instrument doing their own thing but all working together. Is amazing
Can't tell you how revolutionary those times were all round 1975/76..
And this music moved around in the middle of it.
Honestly one of the best tours of all time, and the footage and audio is absolutely entrancing - oh how I wish I could've been there!!!
@Sally Drutman I was at “Hard Rain” May 23, 1976 Fort Collins, Colorado about three feet from the stage ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
@@marynelson3067 AHHHH THATS SO COOL
Relax.
This might be my favorite Dylan performance. Now on youtube! Thank you, Pig.
It's certainly my favourite. I wish Bob Dylan stayed longer in this particular, incredible epoch of his long and ever-changing catalogue of music. The Rolling Thunder Review tour (and his tour backed by The Band) are (in my opinion) the pinnacle of his career.
His "Shelter from the Storm" live about this time, maybe a year later, is also worthy.
One of my fave Bob songs. So evocative and clever
Incredible performance
maybe one of bobs all time best performances in my opinion
this is one of those poems i enjoy so very much ❤
Scarlet Rivera's electric violin was the perfect match for the Rolling Thunder Revue. Really mesmerizing!
I’ve listened to this about 50 times today 🙌🏽
My hero.,absolutely amazing guy who makes moving lyrics into music. The genius amazes me.
It seems to be powerful magic...
Absolutely fascinating!
“...the snow was outrageous, we chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.” Well the lyrics, the delivery, and the footage of this is powerfully outrageous!
Thanks so much Swingin’𓃟 ♡
Outstanding job as usual! シ
Man, to have witnessed this tour, smh, freaking awesome!!!!
Love Dylan's Desire album, and the bootleg series Vol 5 live'75 Rolling Thunder Revue,I don't have the money to buy the complete Rolling Thunder Revue box set, but I think you get the gist of it on bootleg vol. 5 ,he sounds like he's possessed on some of the tracks, magical,I still love bootleg vol 4 live at the Albert hall,or the real Albert hall album,he's amazing,I love my Dylan record collection,you can just pick an era and he's singing these magical tales at you,I love his Rough and Rowdy ways, which is possible could be his last,it took me a long time to get into his later albums, starting with Time out of Mind,I had stopped buying his albums after the magnificent OH MERCY,I thought that was it.also my favourite era is his '65-66 electric trilogy, Bringing it all back home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and I love his '70s trilogy, Planet Waves, Blood on the tracks, Desire,I don't think you can get better than those six albums, and I didn't think Dylan had it in his later years, his voice is really hard to understand at times, but then I got into Time out of Mind,then Love and theft, and I started to come round, Dylan could never be the young electric Messiah of the mid '60s,or the Gypsy minstrel of '75-76, but he has still Dylan,a different Dylan, and still great, Modern Times is a good album,I'm not as keen on Together through life, but I love Tempest,I can't get into his Sinatra trilogy, Shadows in the night, Fallen angels, Triplicate, but then he came up with Rough and Rowdy ways,an all original Dylan album, since Tempest,eight years earlier. I wonder if we will get another original Bob Dylan album,or is Rough and Rowdy ways his goodbye. He's been the greatest lyricist the pop/Rock world has ever seen,so glad he got the Nobel prize for literature,he deserves it. Let's appreciate him while he's here. Bob Dylan,John Lennon are my favourite songwriters of all time, with Paul McCartney, Jagger and Richards, George Harrison, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Arthur Lee,Syd Barrett, The Doors, David Bowie, not far behind. ✌️
this is just beautiful
We ❤u bob . Keep up ur work . Ive seen u a few times know u 4cmant yrs n ur band members. Thank you 4 these presciouse yrs. . We love n miss u .
Bandit n cheryl.
M.V. keep rockin'
❤us . P.s.bqndit passed july 2021
'What's your favorite Dylan song?' Whichever on I'm listening to now. This one is Always up there... and this is a killer rocknroll version. Primo!
This had already transformed into a completely different sounding song from the version on the album before the album was even released.
And so much better than the studio version, in my opinion.
@@Avocado876 A lot of live versions of songs from RTR that were on Blood on the Track and Desire (as well as some earlier tunes) outshined the album cuts. Idiot Wind. Shelter from The Storm, One More Cup of Coffee, etc.
Absolutely stunning performance...and only can be done by Dylan
I was there ...i heard him live ...the vibes were outrageous .
Bob Dylan and Rob Stoner singing togheter the last verse at 4:23 is my favourite thing
Yup. He nailed the vocal with Bob there!
Yes yes yes!!!!!
"If you want me to... YEAH!!!"
Am a Dylan fan. Start til now, thru n thru but this.... This was his prime. The whole desire album and blood on the tracks, nobody else can hold a candle
Just came across this as im a Heavy Dylan follower, your editing skills are excellent. well done
Thank you. We’ll see you in 15 minutes.
Holy shit balls madman! Wish I was a small piece of dirt on that electrifying stage. I'll probably die today. Glad I found this
This is my favorite Dylan song ever, thanks to this favorite performance ever.
Wow.. first time I see this, very special Performance ‼️
Dankeschön
Great Great writer and story teller
I've seen Bob several times, and loved every minute of the shows, but this is some serious epic shite.
My favorite musician's favorite version of my favorite song. It just quite literally gets NO BETTER. Fuck
The wind it was howling, the snow was outrageous
Imagine walking down the street in New York in 1975 and seeing a crazed homeless man run by wearing a rainbow jacket and scarf.
That was Toronto, by the way...
@@letsif Good to know!
Scarlet t’owns this song. The violin flows through it like a river thru a capital city. Never seen Dylan so animated . Wonder fuckin why…. So different obviously from the Desire recording. Like an entirely different song. This is more menacing and exciting and Dylan looks like the sexiest man alive with those ice blue eyes. But I still prefer the Desire version. It’s performed more like a poem or a damned good suspenseful story and Dylan singing Isis on Desire is more convincingly the lone adventurer making his way back home.
"menacing" : good word.
Songs from Blood on the Tracks and Desire took on a new form during the Revue. I prefer the live versions of Idiot Wind and Shelter From the Storm. The album cuts were acoustic numbers where Bob played electric guitar live (and even some slide on Shelter) and the songs had a bit more grit to them than the album cuts.
Nothing can beat this
A wonderful song, a humorous, literarily demanding parable ... Bob is a great storyteller
I married Isis on the fifth day of May
But I could not hold on to her very long
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong
I came to a high place of darkness and light
The dividing line ran through the center of town
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down
A man in the corner approached me for a match
I knew right away he was not ordinary
He said, “Are you lookin’ for somethin’ easy to catch?”
I said, “I got no money.” He said, “That ain’t necessary”
We set out that night for the cold in the North
I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word
I said, “Where are we goin’?” He said we’d be back by the fourth
I said, “That’s the best news that I’ve ever heard”
I was thinkin’ about turquoise, I was thinkin’ about gold
I was thinkin’ about diamonds and the world’s biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold
I was thinkin’ about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless
How she told me that one day we would meet up again
And things would be different the next time we wed
If I only could hang on and just be her friend
I still can’t remember all the best things she said
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
He said, “There’s a body I’m tryin’ to find
If I carry it out it’ll bring a good price”
’Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind
The wind it was howlin’ and the snow was outrageous
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hopin’ that it wasn’t contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on
I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty
There was no jewels, no nothin’, I felt I’d been had
When I saw that my partner was just bein’ friendly
When I took up his offer I must-a been mad
I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead
She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special”
She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, not quite”
She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural”
She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “Yeah, I jes might”
Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
I still can remember the way that you smiled
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin’ rain
Scarlet Rivera is amazing with Bob.
I don’t think there has been anybody that has elevated Bob music as much as Scarlet did.
These performances are transcendent
I'd think if he'd been with Garcia around the time it have been incredible. The 80 show from san Francisco gives a hint. By 87 Dylan really didn't give a crap anymore until the never ending tour. With that said, I agree wholeheartedly, though Larry Campbell was nothing to sneeze at
100%, she is amazing. As is the incredible Dylan, what charisma
I saw this tour in Hartford a week after this recording. Good seats. Yes Scarlet Rivera was incredible and stunning but so was Mick Ronson on lead guitar. Yes, Spiders From Mars Mick Ronson. And that Dylan guy was in great form himself that month, as you can hear.
So much great version of such a great song ... as part of such a great film ... thank you so much for sharing it!
Bob belted this one out. Scarlet was strong coming over the top. Loose as a goose with no remorse.
SO FUCKING RAW
Astounding, Dylan and band just bring it.
always a joy to see that you've uploaded something new, and especially something as great as this. thanks swingin!
what a great genius ...... thanks Swingin' Pg ♥♥♥
My fav version LY bd ❤️
What energy vocals!
Thanks for upload, SP, very enjoyable.
Love the line the snow was outrageous
Treasures here... footage and editing, interpretation and words, a whole spiritual feeling. Just amazing! Thanks
One of my favorites
Happy Birthday Big Man!
Probably my favourite live performance
you are the man swingin'
Timming is the key ...bloody timming ...respect & comunion espontanea, musicos de la calle trabajando por centavos y recibiendo y otorgando la Gloria
Wonder performance
Swingin’ That was Swingin’ 🎶🕺💃💥👌Superb... Thanks Dylan🌹❤️🌞💥
Bob even to this day makes a good Front Man, theres nothing this man can't do.
Love it he sound on top form great
Got to see him on this tour in Toronto. Awesome performance...Lloyd aka Lone Wolf :)
Amazing version, amazing performance!
Hypnotic. Enthralling. I love the original song so much, so when I find a version that I haven't heard and it turns out to be this good, this eccentric, but still retain the original tune, you can imagine how fun it can be for me.
‘75 - that year of magical thinking & acting
So Awesome
Süßer Bobby, Du hast auf der Bühne gekämpft wie ein Krieger!!
I wish I had more thumbs. Fills every atom of mine with pure enthusiasm.
I was only thinking about this song, and youtube algorithm brought it up...🤔😳
Wow, what a footage
I actually think it's better than Scorcese's film or "story"!
Omg! This is incredible!
This performance is EPIC.. that's all I have to say.
Not wrong.
Michael McLoughlin
I saw the show at Madison Sq. Garden, the performances were tremendous'
In N.Y.C. the show was a benefit Rubin Carter's legal defense.
Even Mohammed Ali was on stage. It was a night I'll never forget.
