The fact that Bob showed up at all is blowing my mind. The mystery man never appears any place like this, but he does so in perfect Dylan fashion. What a guy...
Bob is not in any way above doing the random thing every now and then. Witness the inexplicable guest shot on Dharma And Greg. Most superstars would insist on Will & Grace but Bob is apparently d+g all the way{that’s Dharma and Greg not Dolce and Gabbana} Maybe Dolce And Gabbana should ask him for an inexplicably random endorsement. If for no other reason than that’s exactly what’s not expected
I saw Bob walking his dogs in Malibu once. He was walking the whole time with his head down and looking really deep in thought just like here. He's very in his own world like this.. it's not just an act
@@hutchu1 thanks :) you see a lot of famous people in LA and I've heard some stories that a lot don't like being approached (and some even rude to everyone like cashiers and servers) so I'm very shy about it now and keep my distance. I don't want to be told off my someone I'm a fan of, lol.
Why do you think bob dylan is so legendary? I would like to know about your thoughts on him. ( I'm not being arrogant. Just wanted to know what makes him so legendary)
@@mallukittens177personally, I believe it’s his contribution to the music industry that makes him so legendary, the man has written some of the greatest lyrics of all time and has influenced so many people, and probably influenced your favourite artist, even if he didn’t directly influence them, he definitely influenced one of your fav artists fav artist, not only the music part, he has been desecrated to his craft for so long, he has been going around the world constantly touring for decades, that’s what I think makes him legendary, his status as a lyrical genius, his influence and his dedication to his craft
@@bigbadkaldren lyrics are ok but his songs like which is sung I didn't like it at all. Maybe he should have just written poems. What's your thoughts on that ? You liked his songs he sung ?
@@mallukittens177 personally yea, but Bob was never known as a singer or musician, it was just a way for him to express himself better, he didn’t have the best voice or the greatest guitar skills, but it’s his lyrics and the meaning behind them that make them memorable, if you know what I mean
This is just perfection. So confusing, I have no idea when to laugh even with the crowd laughter, Bob never says a word. Its also obviously an ad. I don’t know - well done. This was incredible.
Pastor Landon You're easily pleased, love. May I recommend the new film 'Watching Paint Dry' starring Terry the tortoise. Better take a few vallium first in case you get over-excited.
@Matthew Lawton It's not entirely to my taste, but Carson wasn't to the previous generation's taste, and he's managed to keep himself significantly more relevant to the cultural zeitgeist than Leno (admittedly not the most challenging of hurdles to overcome). He's good for what he is, he manages to entertain a cross-section of America, and he doesn't draw significant controversy, which is what NBC has always gone for in a late-night host. There are more culturally awful things for me to worry about than Jimmy Fallon.
Just walks out, pours a drink, sits down to drink it.....and I’m simply mesmerized by it. He blows my mind. His every move is just enchanting.....and jimmy is great too :)
I saw Bob in concert in Albuquerque this year! The fact that he said nothing in this clip doesn't surprise me at all, seeing as he never said a word to the audience at the concert either! But I wasn't even bothered by it, the show was AMAZING and Bob seemed to be having such a good time! Much love for this living legend! Also, Jimmy is very lucky Bob came on his show, as Bob rarely does that for ANYONE! Awesome!
Hell yeah, that's rad: Albuquerque/New Mexico is the shiz 😎 Lived there many years and the whole environment made me want to write Bob Dylan-esque songs and/or made me feel like I was already IN one of his songs...epic place🏜🏞
We are so fortunate to live in an era of a genius like Dylan. My god. Had tears in my eyes. He greatly shaped my life from the time I was twelve, a kid trying to leave Mississippi. Love you, Bob Dylan.
Bob probably laid it right on the line. "Fallon, I ain't doing you're punk ass show EVER!! But, give me a chance to promote my whiskey/Bourbon and I will consider doing a little comedy skit with you and as long as I don't have to talk or sing!" There you go kids, that's probably how it happened. lol
I mean it's kinda clearly just an add for the whisky. He's trying to sell his product. But this was done in such a unique, classy, and surprisingly deep way that I don't care one bit that it's an ad. I love it.
That's pretty much the case. When Letterman had Dylan on, he said Dylan would only show up if he didn't have to speak to HIM. He then proceeded to start his set with Sonny boy Williamson's don't start me talking.
I just love Bob Dylan. Wow. When my friends were listening to Backstreet Boys, I bought my first tape (yes, tape!) of Bob Dylan. As a Catholic, his music really spoke to me. I appreciate him so very much. Talk about God given talent - wow. He's such a cool looking man too!
Just a side note to this great clip. I just turned 70 and Dylan is almost 80. I noticed immediately how fast he walked to his seat. Not many others would pick that up but tells me he's really taking good care of himself and damn glad he is still a major Icon.
1. Because Bob Dylan is very private, and NEVER does talk shows or things like this 2. The greatest songwriter/poet of the past 100+ years, who has shaped and influenced music/culture in more ways than you could ever hope to measure. Trust me, he's earned a few shed tears and respect.
A great free advertisement for Dylan's 'Heaven's Door' whiskey, highlighted during the circus performance and on Jimmy's desk afterwards - priceless👍😊😘!
“You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a TRAPEZE ARTIST” ― Bob Dylan
saw him a few weeks ago and he didn't say anything before the show, between songs, or after the show. my kind of guy. i'm not there for the banter, i'm there for the music.
I hope Bob doesn't mind, but I rescued a Caucasian Shepherd dog, he had been neglected and was struggling to settle when I got him home. I put on Bob's Highway 61, and it instantly calmed my dog down. He sat there listening to the whole album, cocking his head this way and that. By the end of the album, he was lying down calm. So I have named him Dylan. I still play Bob's songs and Tom Petty''s if he becomes stressed and they calm him. So, it's a compliment and I hope he isn't offended. Plus I want to try that bourbon by Bob. But I don't think it's sold in the UK. And importing liquids is banned I think, due to terrorism. But hopefully it will get over here.
I used to think there was only ONE Bob Dylan.... but now I'm not so sure...... BIG UP Eric Satie, also recorded by the iconic Blood Sweat and Tears......Bob Dylan should have the copyright on using the persona BOB DYLAN :)
Watching through a variety of publicity/ media events with Bob (starting in 1965) -- I'm sorry to say, sir, but it is now every interviewer's personal challenge to crack you, make you smile, make you tell a good story.
Dylan is playing with us. Having us on. That’s the genius of his art. He shows us something about ourselves that we don’t often see. God bless Bob Dylan.
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

It's good whiskey tbh, and the bottle makes for a great collectors piece

poor bob needs the money - families are expensive for celebrities. (it's an exponential relationship)
I’m not sure what I just watched, but anything with Bob is A+
I saw Bob walking his dogs in Malibu once. He was walking the whole time with his head down and looking really deep in thought just like here. He's very in his own world like this.. it's not just an act

Thank you!
Saint Martins thank you so much
This is the comment I was looking for, thanks!
Thanks, that’s been driving me crazy.
I actually feel very honored to have recognized the song immediately😍
OMG it's actually Bob Dylan. I couldn't even believe it. The man didn't came to get his own Nobel prize but he said yes to this ?
He had a private ceremony I think
@@neelparekh3448 He had, before his Stockholm concert in April 2017.
Well, he was promoting his own brand of whiskey.
he is a poet. This was poetic.
He couldn't advertise his Whiskey at the Nobel Prize ceremony. haha
*petition to get this on the internet without the crowd laughing*
I agree completely. It's a work of art disrupted by the cloying laughter.
YAAAAAAAS1
total spoofer whoever decided on a LT.
Just remove all sound, and redub it with the Satie. Don't bother with dubbing in ANY words. They're superfluous.
olafputker couldn’t agree more
"Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you"
You kno I never understood that it ain't no good l, because u shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that, He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

This is just perfection. So confusing, I have no idea when to laugh even with the crowd laughter, Bob never says a word. Its also obviously an ad. I don’t know - well done. This was incredible.
Perfect description... cheers!
The crowd laughter made it kinda cheap
I think they were laughing at jimmy"s face 😂
Why would you not laugh only when you encounter something funny?
Pastor Landon You're easily pleased, love. May I recommend the new film 'Watching Paint Dry' starring Terry the tortoise. Better take a few vallium first in case you get over-excited.
When jimmy is mostly silent...he is quite enjoyable.
Yep. No Jimmy is the best Jimmy, IMO.
Agreed.... the guy is so phony for his show. Goofy.
Gentle, charming, a bit daft and surreal. Perfect, and something I haven't seen from Fallon until now.

Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody
JImmy?
It may be the devil or it may be the lord.. seeeerve someBODY ..
My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too. We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792.
I reckon he prefers whiskey
Earnest Prole might like to eat caviar
I would LOVE to watch the circus and drink whiskey with Bob Dylan!!
that...would be awkward
Bob Dylan is the coolest person ever lived, I wish I was like him.
that you recognize his level of coolness makes you pretty cool yourself
Yes he is a terminally chill enigma
Did you hear Dave Grohl’s story about him and everlong?

"I'll let you be in my dream, if I can be in your dream".
MrThermostatic iconic
He said that. 😊
@@nestanesta9366 I said that! 😉
You'd better go see a doctor, to see what kind of words he could say
I just had a dream about him last night! That's so weird.
this is the type commercial that i need
well then. lucky you
This show desperately needs more stuff like this beautiful fever dream.
For those who didn't understand...
His whiskey can be a great company to you. But when the show ends, you're by yourself.
Master of irony
I mean it's kinda clearly just an add for the whisky. He's trying to sell his product. But this was done in such a unique, classy, and surprisingly deep way that I don't care one bit that it's an ad. I love it.

@@davidhyrman2763 yea I got a sad feeling actually. Uneasy at the same time
Dude, you just shattered my universe
Which song was that from?
"Gonna buy me a barrel of whiskey/I'll die before I turn senile." -Bob Dylan, Cry A While
Thank you Bob!~
This is just so perfect & you didn't even have to say a word !
"I know I've seen that face before," Big Jimmy Fallon was thinking to himself
They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports brown

That's pretty much the case. When Letterman had Dylan on, he said Dylan would only show up if he didn't have to speak to HIM. He then proceeded to start his set with Sonny boy Williamson's don't start me talking.

I just love seeing Bob Dylan. He’s so signature to himself, from his mannerisms to the way he brings curiosity to the room
Even though it was supposed to be funny. I found this rather beautiful and heartwarming.

He probably charged Fallon for it.
@@jamesclendon4811 that a jew joke?
@@dice1296 Absolutely not. That never occurred to me.
I actually think this is quite a profound piece.
it ain't. nothing profound intended. almost certainly written by fallon's writers
Why do I want to see Dylan in this sketch more than the circus act? Eliminate the laughing and it’s perfect.
People laugh at a circus you idiot !
Because he's larger than life, I don't blame you
Imagine being at a cinema or something and bob dylan comes out if nowhere with two glasses and a bottle of whiskey
The quietest Jimmy has ever been- all it took was Bob Dylan.
I "woo hoo"ed louder than the audience when Bob appeared.
The lady at the end looked a bit like Annie Lennox.
Yes, she did.
Who am I to disagree?

No.
" They say whiskey can kill ya but I don't think it will, going back up to the top of the hill"
*I'm riding with you to the top of the hill*

Jimmy, You know you reached the top when you get to watch a circus with Bob Dylan
Just a side note to this great clip. I just turned 70 and Dylan is almost 80. I noticed immediately how fast he walked to his seat. Not many others would pick that up but tells me he's really taking good care of himself and damn glad he is still a major Icon.
Perfect. Always the recluse that he is, of course he’s not there, jimmy you lucky bastard.
“I’m not there.”
When Dylan finally dies, I imagine watching this with a wee whisky and sobbing.
Me too😕
This made me cry so much i love him
Now we can add liquor salesman to the list of Bob Dylan's accomplishments.
this is art
this is like a tim and eric sketch, I love it.
why did this make me want to cry?
1. Because Bob Dylan is very private, and NEVER does talk shows or things like this
2. The greatest songwriter/poet of the past 100+ years, who has shaped and influenced music/culture in more ways than you could ever hope to measure.
Trust me, he's earned a few shed tears and respect.
He was chillin like Bob Dylan
That was so cool, Dylan used to say that among his favorites poets was a family of acrobats of the circus in his town
"When the rooster crows at the break of dawn, look out your window and I'll be gone.... Don't think twice it's alright."
Erik Satie - Gymnopedie no.1 for anyone wondering about the music
No 3 is my favourite 👍🏻
Ahh, now this is art, Bob Dylan style
He's going to the carnival tonight on Desolation Row
jimmy: selfconscious cheeselord bob: effortlessly beating his own drum

I literally just came here to hear Bob Dylan's voice but he doesn't say a single thing. This was actually weirdly good to watch
It's hard to tell - but that's really Dylan's stunt-double. Great job Alfonso. :)
Jimmy's hanging out with one of the great poets of our time, must be nice!!🤘

label me Same, saw him in Oklahoma mid October and he didn’t saw a word other than the lyrics. Thought it was super cool.
This is the only commercial I have ever watched repeatedly. Dylanesque.

Minus the audience laughing, that....was oddly beautiful.
Well, if you cut it at 2:05 (totall black) with a smooth fade out of the Satie's masterpiece then you have the very best ad for "Heaven's Door".
'What was in that whiskey?'
'What whiskey?'
*Oh fuck*
Just drinkin to a series of dreams. In one the circus was open...
Somehow, this is exactly what I was hoping it would be. And it was great.
When you call Bob Dylan “buddy”
I used to think there was only ONE Bob Dylan.... but now I'm not so sure...... BIG UP Eric Satie, also recorded by the iconic Blood Sweat and Tears......Bob Dylan should have the copyright on using the persona BOB DYLAN :)
Fallon really does gain perspective by sitting next to Dylan Literally.
*Bob Dylan is alive but he sorta just seems like a ghost from the past that reveals itself once in a while to remind us that that energy never dies*
