    I saw Bob Dylan sing this song on tv (black & white tv) in 1964 when I was 14 years old. I could not believe what I was hearing. Every other song on tv or radio was about surfing, cars or girls.

And were horrified. Those who want to fight wars don't want the public to know what they are actually doing.

      nancy bento Same her. We saw her in 67. We were both 16 my best friend Ralph & I.I had just gotten my Volkswagen & I asked Ralph's parents if he could go with me & they were so pleased that I asked that they asked me to spend the night since I did not live in the district of my High School etc. They both were executives his dad was a lawyer and his mother was a administrator at a Hospital. And very protective of Ralph almost in prison to some extent LOL. They were going back to Cincinnati to visit family and friends for a week. And Ralph would be alone with the housekeeper who was like family her name was Edna very nice old lady. His dad called my dad and ask for permission for me to spend the week with Ralph. My parents had met Ralph and felt sorry for him and my dad said yes. I'll keep tabs on them don't worry have a nice time blah blah blah. Well the night after the concert we stayed up till 3 a.m. we were talkin and bedroom couldn't sleep and then he asked me do you like wine and I said yeah I really do. I came from a long line of wine drinkers Western Europeans French Spanish Portuguese blah blah blah. We drank a whole bottle of merlot with cheese and crackers and fruit. We did not want to wake up the housekeeper she slept like a log anyway and her bedroom was on the other side of the house somewhat secluded. We had a blast I brought a lot of my records over and my record player. So we listen to The Beatles The Bee Gees and of course our Joanie. Take care 😷 Arnold

    Just about a million views at this point, sort of makes you wonder how many times Bob Dylan just did what you did, viewed this video. And just like you, was seriously moved by the whole thing. This is Joan Baez at 25, amazing world that would give us Joan Baez and this video.

    Listening to this song is a transcendental experience. It makes every molecule of my being vibrate with pleasure. I don't know how she does it, it's like a combination of her voice and the song itself, which is such a great effort from Dylan. He really is one of the greatest songwriters to have ever lived. Boots of Spanish leather is another one of my favourites. I also wanted to insert a snide remark about G.O.D. but the songs says it better than I ever could.

    “You - special, miraculous, unrepeatable, fragile, fearful,tender,lost,sparking ruby emerald jewel, rainbow splendor person. IT’S UP TO YOU. Would it embarrass you very much if I were to tell you that I love you?” This is what Joan Baez answered once when asked on what to do to make ours a better world to live. Pure poetry, pure wisdom, pure kindness. Joan Baez, a bodhisattva among us ,knows how to touch the best we whatsoever have in our hearts and souls. Her voice is as powerful, tender ,warm and truthful as ever. Love and Gratitude, from Brasil
