It was right at this time my brother, Guy, was spending a lot of time with Bob and Suze. I have a bunch of great photos of them all together. My brother and Bob spent time together throughout the '60s. Our house was one of the first places he spent time at, when he came up from NYC, in January, '61. This is a great recording of a wonderful concert!
Things like this make me feel I was born 30 years too late... I listened to Dylan on my parents' phono when I was 6 and 7 in the early 80ies and was mesmerized despite my young age... It never gets old...hail to the great ones! Cheers
Fascinating. Three years later I would buy my first Dylan record through the Columbia Record club because I had a Peter Paul and Mary album and noticed that some of the songs were written by someone named Bob Dylan. What a surprise!
I was 9 years old. 4 years later (13 going on 14 ) I asked for a guitar and Peter Paul And Mary’s In the Wind album with Blowin in the wind and don’t think twice on it for Christmas. I got the album and a red Stella guitar. I was hooked and a year later was listening to Dylan’s first album. I am 70 going on seventy one now and just started working out an arrangement for just like Tom Thumb’s Blues! Thank you, S. P. !
Astounding that at 20 years old Bob was that great. Some of the best performances ever. And people say Dylan can’t sing. They should try singing just ONE of the lines in this concert. Mind blowingly good.
I met an older guy from Hibbing Minnesota that said Bob played in his brothers rock band in High School and he 'sucked so bad they kicked him out after the second show,. He never was any good until he got that harmonica." Thus proving a prophet is never welcome in his home town.
I was six years old when my 18 year old sister brought Dylan's words home to my ears. My soul bursts with the honesty, compassion and truth that these early songs spoke to me so long ago.
The first record where i heard a few of his songs - though not quite in his own versions - was Pete Seeger's classic 1963 "Live at Carnegie Hall", an album my parents loved and had bought a few years after it was released (I'm from Sweden). Seeger's sculptural, rhythmic, careful yet passionate take of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" caught my attention very early on, I still think it's beautiful almost half a century after I first heard it. Great album, recorded just three months before MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech it really lives and breathes of musical history.
I have decided to take time this year getting acquainted with all that Dylan has to offer - the great, the good, and the rest...this is a fantastic place to start. What an awesome recording....
55:14 This is the pure Bob Dylan, and who says that he never laughs?? Dylan is and will be a legend of music, a part of music... Thanks you Bob for this eternal dedication for music, you are a living myth!! Greatings from Barcelona, Catalonia ❤ you
1961...I was a girl with eleven years age...and I lived in countryside. I didn't know nothing beyond the small farm of my father... I didn't know there was others countries, I didn't know there was a country named United States of America and a boy named Bob Dylan that was predestined to be the most important songwriter of the world... But I had a dream: to study... and today I am an old Bob Dylan brasilian fan...
@@alberto-os1bx Hello, Alberto. What a good new! We are two good old Bob Dylan's fans...Yo hablo español, pero comprendo el Italiano un poco. I love that song "Ciao, amore".
it is half past 4 i made fire in my stowe washed myself and dress fresh clothes now I am drinking coffee and listening to you young Bob you are the best
It’s wonderful to listen to Bob flexing His Talent at such a young age , Truly a Fantastic Artist and a Great Storyteller coupled with an Ear for Human behavior. I’ve loved His Music and His Love of Common Folk since these early days and His Evolutionary Psychology since these times . Bob Dylan IS America !
Swingin' Pig, if you don't realize what you did I'll tell ya. You made available a treasure trove full of Dylan gems heretofore unavailable. Thank you so much!!
So thank you for writing the best songs Thank you for righting a few wrongs You're a savage gift on a wayward bus But you stepped down and you sang to us.... -Joan Baez
It has come to my attention that there are many ads throughout the video. As one of the commenters pointed out, "Drag the slider to end of video and restart it, the ads will be gone!" These ads are because it has been claimed and monetized by the owners of this recording. I realize they’re annoying so I apologize. I hope they don’t take away too much from this amazing concert though. Much love and stay well 🦋
very interesting, 1961 wow, Fascinating Thanks a lot. I've got CD recorded October 26 1963 Live at Carnegie Hall, so I was 2 years out, Thank you again for this.
What's even more inspiring is that the tape of this digital representation will quite possibly outlive this digital piece and landscape on which it has been brought to us.
When I was a kid (I'm almost Bob's age), my parents and others thought he couldn't sing. Listen to this, and you realize that, even at that age, Bob was the greatest singer of the 20th Century. And I'm including the best opera singers here. I sincerely hope I die before Bob. I couldn't take it.
All of your work to get these tapes online and all the descriptive bio info of the setting where performed are so appreciated. Listening to the earliest Bob performing his "Woody Guthrie legacy" and the Blues icons is priceless to me.
Barely 20 years old when he played this concert. Within a few years, he would go on to change popular music and songwriting forever. It's Dylan... nuff said.
... there is one very interesting germanism :: ' Ein Fruevollendeter " ) s.o. having achieved a state of some kind of complete-ness early in life ( ...
Been a while since I had goosepumps listening to this fella (regardless of the all the tremendous performances I've been listening too thanks to SP and Elston) - this one is astounding by so many ways !
The quality of this recording is amazing. I found this CD maybe thirty years ago, felt lucky to have it and didn’t care the sound was rough. Par for the course.
swinging pig has been around for many years. recordings were known for quality. how sp comes up with these gems is amazing for any musicologist or just finding your favorite artist. keep up the good work.
Well, it is not so amazing how Swinging Pig is coming up with these gems..... he just copied CD #3 from the 10 CD box "Man on the Street" issued by Reel-to-Reel in 2017. So this gem is just for sale for a couple of bucks.
My Birthday date but then in 1961: the ‘Never to be forgotten Carnegie Hall Grand Performance‘. Just hear ‘In The Pines’❣️🎼🎸🎤🎶 With a great Harrrrppp part❣️As always all is performed from The Heart❤️Thanks SP🌷Thanks DearDylan Always❤️🌺🌞
Amazing someone actually taped this off of the board. What are the odds? Great quality and of much historic significance. This is just the best account. Thank you! Please keep it up.
Had his pills advantage of easy speed diets available at that time and even a benzo like drug for sleep sold otc Janis Joplin loved or used a lot. Thinks he used speed a lot for recording. Funny and loved to write for sure
Just discovered this gem, thanks for sharing and for including Lady Sad Eye's description with yours. Born in 1961, I didn't know previously that Bob Dylan actually went to NYC that year. Always fascinated by him, I sang "Blowing In The Wind" for a 5th grade talent show. Time was running out, and I was told to just sing the first verse. I opened my mouth, and the third verse came out. ❣️ I love, respect and admire Bob more than I can say. Prolific. Just this week I heard him compared to Shakespeare. Bob Dylan is the Shakespeare of our times. ❣️✌️🥀
This is simply stunning - so, the best song to jump to right after listening to this debut concert is "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)", I'm a'headin over there
You can tell Presley was one of his idols. It's got conatations of him throughout but what makes Dylan so great and brilliant is that mouth organ again brilliance in itself then you've got BOB what more can i say NOTHING except THANK-YOU 💎
Found this 11 months ago, could not wait to listen, and only got round to listen now ! Sensational, Dylan's first concert out of coffee shops. Thanks, S P. From Roy Bean, Cape Town, South Africa.
contrasted w/the concert in Paris--where Bobby took the extended attention to tuning the guitar--worth it. The "genius" vocalizing, the superb mouth harp work, the phrasing, the commentary, etc. All goes south with the jingle-jangle strings conflict...
I had this album, but the poor quality one. What a tune Young But Daily Growin' is. There's a slightly different version of it on the Minnesota tapes I think. How does a 19yr old sing with such emotions. Genius.
Thanks so much Swingin’ really great premiere! Listening again from the start! Love that you saved those Sad-eyed-Lady notes! You hit it right doing that for sure plus it honours SEL too! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤍
A s a young man he also showed his talent as a stand up comedian, no wonder that he later presented such great radio shows - I thinkhe would have grown exceptionally big even without music. But I ' m glad that He stook my the music
I love these old recording Bob was at the right time and right place There were 1000s of other musicians who were as good or better who’ll we’ll never hear They played from the heart , for the love of music In small taverns,churches, clubs around the world Expressing their love,anger, and joy
Kevin, that is very well put. But we got some very great ones left forever in our memories: Woody Guthry, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and we treasure their wonderful songs.
Its hard to believe . The history my ilk have embedded into our souls. Always tons of gratitude for the chronicler par excellence, Bob Dylan, or Zimmy.

I did not know that.
@@ralphdavis9670 not me neither
How was he at Carnegie Hall so early and soon after getting with Columbia..?
@benjaminsavage4204 read the description, it wasn't the Carnegie Hall, it was the side performance spot
Yes,this is a great recording.So great,that it was catured.I Love it.

Bob speaking to 53 ppl that showed up at this gig . Just awesome.
In 1961, I was 6 yrs old.
Wish I was there⚡
Which is what most performers continue to experience for their entire careers. And that's if they're successful!
Fascinating. Three years later I would buy my first Dylan record through the Columbia Record club because I had a Peter Paul and Mary album and noticed that some of the songs were written by someone named Bob Dylan. What a surprise!
Same here! Except it was a Byrds album. Columbia record club..got Highway 61.

Check out "Time Out of Mind"
Bob didn't find me until '62 when I was in high school in Brooklyn. He's been an old distant friend ever since.
55:14 This is the pure Bob Dylan, and who says that he never laughs?? Dylan is and will be a legend of music, a part of music... Thanks you Bob for this eternal dedication for music, you are a living myth!!

Excellent sound! Feels like being there in 61. 60 years from now, what a journey. Thanks bobby!

Yes and he was like what 20 a baby this is crazy
Special thanks to the sound man...the unknown member of the band.

What a channel for the voices this man represented at so young an age
American Folk is so raw, his delivery is so honest
Whoever posted this, God bless you. Although Bobby disavowed me as his brother around three years after this song, I love him dearly. Always will.
Make me feel young again.Beatiful . Nothing so good was made after .
Sad-Eyed Lady, i haven't heard that name in a long time, it brings back memories !
Thank-you, Swingin´Pig ! Love & Peace, Roger
This is positively wonderful. He seems to have the fire in his belly. And most of these songs were written by others.
Thank you! A true treasure… the sound, the music, the man. How lucky are we to be witness to this genius.

There were 1000s of other musicians who were as good or better
who’ll we’ll never hear
They played from the heart , for the love of music
In small taverns,churches, clubs around the world
Expressing their love,anger, and joy
Kevin, that is very well put. But we got some very great ones left forever in our memories: Woody Guthry, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and we treasure their wonderful songs.
That’s an interesting take. It’s been said that Dave Van Ronk was just Dylan without the poetics. Those poetics obviously make all the difference.
Its hard to believe . The history my ilk have embedded into our souls. Always tons of gratitude for the chronicler par excellence, Bob Dylan, or Zimmy.
Wow! and thanks!
Oh the treasures you share Swingin!
Man on Street is really too powerful. Thanks bro, we love you.
