@@Jerry11201 crash had to happen. whether or not it was an actual event that we've all been told about isn't consequential. had to happen. knowing that it is one of the reasons he will be around for an 81st birthday in a few days makes me feel especially happy for those closest to him. and grateful.
He was doing heroin, speed (amphetamines, benzadryne, etc), weed, cocaine, acid - *CONSTANTLY* by all accounts at the time. He would literally go without sleep for *two weeks* sometimes, his speed use was so intense. It's why you always see him rubbing his eyes in the clips from the '66 tour - he was completely out of his mind on drugs and no sleep. The motorcycle crash probably saved his life. Nobody can go at that pace forever - not even when you're young.
That was one the reasons that make him go away from the touring, in 1966. Apart from the amount of stress, Dylan was permanently stoned out of his brain. Whatever the drug he was into, cause iv'e read that was on different drugs (hash, speed and even sniffin heroin), it was the way of life that he was fed up with, no sleep at all and dealing with reporters and hostiles vibes from the public. The motorcycle accident maybe was a setup, maybe happened, we never know, but iv'e read once (and saw it in a tv documentary) that while he was recluded in Woodstock, watched the whole the D.A. Penneabaker footage of that british tour, and have a deep impact watching himself in that frame of mind all the time.
thank god he survived this drug phase...he keeps laughing after everthing he says like in the john lennon car scene...ahhh...poor baby....thank god he took a break for awhile.....if he kept going on like this, he might not had made it through the 60's....i guess u got to give it up to sara dylan
They do such a great job with this in the movie. I mean, this performance of Visions of Johanna is so beautiful, it's crosses beyond human into the angelic. What a strange dark thing selling one's soul for their craft is. Such beauty for such unspeakable sacrifice. Makes me shudder.
I think the reason why the ‘66 tour was such a hard time for him is not only due to drugs or lack of sleep, I do think it was the way he was looking at the world, he was pushing too hard with his surrealism and his creativity process in general, I mean for an artist this can be pretty painful. The accident of August ‘66 brought him back to earth.
I think he faked the motorcycle crash to get out of Albert's iron touring schedule grip. He mentions purposefully quitting many times on the 65 and 66 tours. They had a US tour booked for fall 66'.
@@johnthemachine yes though the evidence is that a crash happened but not as severe as some thought. Dylan made good use of it though: John Wesley Harding, Basement Tapes, marital bliss...
I think for some of the musicians it is a part of their image and identity so they are discouraged from stopping because every town they go people want to "party" with them and maybe for the fans it was just an occasional thing but they don't care what that does to a body or soul being expected to do it regularly for years just to satisfy the publics expectation of them. After all lots of people figure musicians are only in it for the "rock star" lifestyle booze and babes etc.
@@johnthemachine I think he faked it too. It happens. Steve McQueen faked a car crash and whiplash to get out of his Wanted Dead or Alive contract so he could film The Magnificent Seven.
Going from singing “pawn in their game” in that field to singing a song like Visions of Johanna with that sort of grotesque style is such an insane transformation.
Bob Dylan has always been a master when it comes to dealing with the media. It's easier to turn off a Bob Dylan interview because, he will kill the press with boredom. It's all about the music.
If he's so tired: Why not just stop? He's done a lot. It is great. No one forces him. Everybody knows, he's a great artist. No-one is so big they could not rest enough!
Jutta Muntau I think a contract forces him. Usually manager signs a contract with a list of the shows: how many, where and when, pays for music halls, for advertising, media etc. Maybe a year later you know that already, then I’m sorry, but yeah, tour it’s basically a job with a contract. So in the beginning you would think “nah, it’s not that much”, but then it can happen that it is actually pretty damn much and if you just stop you lose money. And you don’t always want to lose money you’ve spent.
I always felt he was referencing Patsy Cline’s death with that comment of crashing in a private airplane in the mountains of Tennessee, seeing as that’s how she died 3 years earlier.
He actually did get a new Bob Dylan. After the motorcycle crash less that two months after this tour ended, he looked different and sounded different. And in many ways wrote quite different. Always be careful what you wish for.
+Francis White haha no worries I do that all the time! Mee toooo.. I think I'll just watch his screen test for Andy Warhol untill something comes out lol try that haha
He's right about those private planes. I don't know why these guys put up with the contracts they are given. Ok, if you're a nobody you have to do what they want, but if you're Bob Dylan I would think you can dictate terms. Maybe they rope you in to a six year deal when you're 19 or something. Still, I would think Dylan would be too smart to go for it.
@EllyMcCormack I don't think this is at Manchester. Pennebaker wasn't at that show, and there was only one camera, which was on a balcony, at least for the electric half. I think this might be Newcastle.
@johnthemachine I SO AGREE!!! If we could find out who filmed the concert here, then someone could contact him if he's still alive or someone who knows him and knows how to get hold of the recording and ask to put it up here or something.
Oh :-( It’s a gift for the audience and the managers and this music will always remain but it must have been so hard sometimes indeed. A mixture of excitement and exhaustion.😶
Ich hatte heute Nacht einen verwirrenden Traum, in dem auch die einzige LP vorkam, die ich von Dir hatte. Und mein jüngerer Bruder, der sehr melancholisch war und..und..und.. (bin noch etwas benommen)
For sure ,1966 was tough on his blonde on blonde devotees who really believed he had departed into another dimension, a friend just found a photo of bob dylan hanging out at the Mayfair in 1971. Yeah that escape artist wasn't that great and no longer interested in his tricks
Want is complex- I want to go home- then go home. But then he will lose other things he wants, fame, fortune, ect.. Celebrities always want to be able to just go out to dinner like everyone else. Then drop out and fade into irrelevance. But as Neil Young says, "It's better to burn out than fade away," so the problem is that what you want is incompatible with other things you want. Want is complex.
I am not trying to be mean but how do you get to this video without knowing that song. if it was something like lily, rosemary, and the jack of hearts I would understand but I've always regarded this as one of his bests and surprised someone who is watching this type of video wouldn't know it. Enjoy discovering more of the greatest artist ever!
+bdylanfan90 Its simple. He probably just discovered Dylan, has only heard his most popular songs, really liked them and wants to know more about Dylan.
nikkiejanee1972 I believe this version is from his 1966 performance in Melbourne, Australia and therefore it is not on the Witmark Demos. There are, however, plenty on bootleg recordings out there and just by searching for the performance you may be able to track it down!
Completely burnt from the road . The road is a killer . You gota be made of steel . The toughest muscle man on the block could not traverse the globe like this guy did . He may be thin but he is made of fibreglass to do the miles he did and meet all the tour dates . It must be a nightmare . The thought of going back on the road killed Jackson

no sleep,speed, weed and smack. glad he survived that '66 tour.
motorcycle crash was almost divine intervention. that crash really represented where he seemed to be at that point.

Bobs lucky to have survived the 66 tour honestly.
Or better yet, we are lucky Bob survived the 66 tour.
Even if he hadn't his place in history was already secure, the same way Jimi Hendrix's is after just 3 or 4 years as a star.
@@Katragew too right 👍.
so he did coke, amphetamines, and heroin, got strung out for a year, so what. turns out drugs aren’t that dangerous after-all.

thats so cute at the end, hes like a little kid when he says "i dont know i just wanna go home"
love bob
a true original. we are so fortunate to have seen him live in our lifetimes.
How’s that? maybe Woody was original- Perhaps The Band was…
Poor Bobby. :’c I’m beyond grateful he survived this stage in his life. 66 was harsh to that sweet soul.
whyy
Old or New there has never been one better. Thanks Bob for sharing your visions

how old he might be here?
25 years old.
yeah. still 24 but about to turn 25 that may24th. think this Vid took place in early april

I wish someone had a full video of Bob doing "Visions" on that tour
There is
There is a full version uploaded now.
Your comment was 13 years ago so I’m sure it wasn’t then
this snippet of Johanna is sublime
Going from singing “pawn in their game” in that field to singing a song like Visions of Johanna with that sort of grotesque style is such an insane transformation.
Rumsquall pawn in their game was also a great song
He's so iconic it's insane
huge fan. LONG TIME LIVE, HONOR HIM
We all love you, Bob Allen
the interview scene is 29 April 1966, Stockholm...and the effects of the 'medicine' are quite obvious
Sad, to think he’d be 25 the next month. Nobody understands a man in their mid-twenties but damn, how I relate to him.
One thing I like about Bob is that he has a very good work ethic. I mean he is still working.
I can imagine these exhausted moments😌🌹
Beautiful voice, Thank youu always Bob Dylan🌹🌺❣️
see how long he lasts.. :) i can only feel love to that man

I don’t know. I just wanna go home.
I know that feeling. I think we all do.
If they only knew.
The rocking he is doing is akin to people with sensory issues trying to center themselves. He wasn't in good condition at all.
Haven't you been listening ? He keeps on complaining he's tired from having to do such a long tour so his eyes are tired!!
If he's so tired: Why not just stop? He's done a lot. It is great. No one forces him. Everybody knows, he's a great artist. No-one is so big they could not rest enough!

poor dylan if I were him I would have just gone home screw the rest of the tour im going home
he did soon after this say fuck it and didn’t tour for several years
I always felt he was referencing Patsy Cline’s death with that comment of crashing in a private airplane in the mountains of Tennessee, seeing as that’s how she died 3 years earlier.
Also buddy holly
He actually did get a new Bob Dylan. After the motorcycle crash less that two months after this tour ended, he looked different and sounded different. And in many ways wrote quite different. Always be careful what you wish for.
@johnthemachine It's on Biograph, so you can at least get the full audio if you want. It's the best version of that song I've ever heard.
I really wanna see the whole performance of VOJ!!!
+Sherelle Myers This song, along with the entire concert that this is from, is on his fourth bootleg album!
Thankyou I listen to it all the time but I want to see his face lol
Oh sorry I didn't read that properly. I wish they'd release the full video footage of the concert, I'd love to see this and Mr. Tambourine Man...
+Francis White haha no worries I do that all the time! Mee toooo.. I think I'll just watch his screen test for Andy Warhol untill something comes out lol try that haha
most funny thing is he wasnt kiddin,that 66' bob dylan was no more after this tour and blonde on blonde
Senad Bajrami That's how I feel too. It was another side of Bob Dylan after Blonde on Blonde and the motorcycle accident...
I'm not there👍

Love this man!
Bob passed out in London with the Beatles at the door of his hotel room he was so burnt out
Nick and bc of drugs.
This man is a legend :-)
Surprised the media would not accuse him of multiple personality disorder saying something like that speaking of himself in the third person etc.
I think Neil Young understands though he knows how the muse changes and the creative perspectives too.
You just have to love him.
Bob is intense.

Why is he always rubbing his eyes in clips from this time?
Because the stimulants are taking it's toll.

And weed. He wrote all of Bringing it All Back Home high as fuck. He chain smoked that stuff.
