My old female canary started chirping and trilling when the harmonica came and she followed like that til end of song. She’s pretty quiet most the time. Sort of a little bonding moment with this mysterious critter I keep because I enjoy Bob Dylan a lot too
The audience were upset and booed because Dylan only played 3 songs. Peter Yarrow, who was on the Newport board, begged Dylan to go back on to play another song. Johnny Cash also made similarly encouraging noises. An onstage photograph shows a tear running down Dylan’s left cheek shocked as he was by the booing. He then borrowed Yarrow’s guitar and went back on stage to sing “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”. It was one of the most amazing things when he played that song - the irony of it, and the fact that he was using a borrowed guitar. It was all over now with folk music, and folk’s old guard knew it. “This was the Birth of Rock,” Boyd wrote in his memoir White Bicycles, adding that “anyone wishing to portray the history of the Sixties as a journey from idealism to hedonism could place the hinge at around 9.30 pm on the night of 25 July, 1965”.
Speaking of the human condition, Bob Dylan sings all about it on 2 of his early albums: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan & The Times They Are A-Changin'. They don't make albums like this anymore. I like most of Dylan's records but the two I mentioned are absolute treasures. 🙂
My dad’s 75 and went to his first Dylan concert at the Newport folk festival, he’s still discovering stuff. I grew up listening to this and I still love it. I also have a passion for punk rock…who would’ve thunk it.
The reason these hundreds of brilliant Dylan songs sound so authentic and packed with emotion is without doubt because the singer is the song writer! Bob uses real life experiences hes had and knows exactly how they should be presented. That's why Dylan does Dylan best!
"The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore" Goooosh. What a deep-meaning line. You don't take that a lot from today's artists.
Yes I just watched Dylan at Newport 63-65. Not necessarily the register though, but that he centers his voice lower, more in the chest and not as much in the head and nose. In 63 he sang nasally. His singing got better with time and it happened fast.@@Official_KC
prior to Nashville Skyline Bob had been recuperating from a motorcycle accident and had to quit smoking . The voice change was great . I learned guitar playing this great early stuff .
This man was and still is thee most genius and genuine lyrist , musician , poet , humanitarian , philosopher , artist , painter , sculptor and human being that I have ever known. I am so grateful to have been living at the same time he is. He has enhanced my journey more than I could've ever imagined. Thank you little boy blue - wouldn't have been the same without you. Not even close Love and support to you always!!
@@kenton6098you know, I have listened to the audio of some of his live performances, and the harmonica is EAR-bleeding and too high pitched. You may have a point
@@joeoliveira8558 yeah some of the experts here don't know about that little fact. Many have done it, he was the only one to straight up be honest and admit it.
"all your reindeer armies, they're all going home" I've been a Bob Dylan fan since 1977. So many of his lyrics fly right over my head and you know what? I just keep on singin' along. Thanks, Bob.
In the late 50s and early 60s, families across America succumbed to marketing & questionable health claims, and switched from butter to Crisco for making Christmas cookies. After multiple years of eating dry, tasteless cookies that left him with wicked heartburn, Santa lost his mind and engaged in a short-lived, yet brutal, campaign of terror and vengeance on American families. Dylan is singing about the success of all living past and present Surgeons General teaming up to lead a paramilitary force of Better Homes & Gardens subscribers to repel hangry Santa and his reindeer army.
You know, I just tried to interpret it,just for fun on a rainy day..Being Bob, he could have used Reign=to hold power over the people and the soldiers were under power of the government and they gave their lives to the war and came home one way or another 😢. What song is it from? Just found a nostalgic '69 book and Vietnam War was so shadowy and so horrific
I get into another level of consciousness when he sings this song. I could listen to it for hours and not even realize that time has passed. But the same is true for 200 other of his incredible songs.
He is wonderful for sure, but have you ever heard the voice of Elvis Presley? Dylan admired Elvis Presley as the Greatest. He was asked in an interview what the biggest accomplishment of his Career was and he answered: "That`s easy. Elvis recording one of my songs".
@@Strikethe9 I replied to your comment but it disappeared. Strange. Anyway. They were (are ) both very blessed with a God given talent. I once made up this Quote: „Elvis is for the Heart & Bob is for the Intellect.“ As a Singer/Songwriter I learned much from both.
Hypnotic and seductive. Only Dylan manages to be on stage alone with guitar and harmonica without disappointing anyone. I apologize for my poor English. Ipnotico e seducente. Solo Dylan riesce a stare sul palco da solo con chitarra e armonica senza deludere nessuno. Chiedo scusa per il mio scarso inglese.
In my college years (early 70s) Dylan was oft seen around the Village ... tho I knew of much of his earlier work it was seeing the movie "Pat Garret and Billy the Kid" there was a dichotomy between the character he played and the song "Knocking on Heaven's Door" that struck me, the scene by the river still takes my voice away and wets my cheeks every time I watch it. The emotional roller coaster that was "Blood on the Tracks" remains one of the few recordings I have that is never listened to other than from start to finish.
Kudos to Bob for daring to move on/progress in this manner! Starting off the set with an electrifying version of the 'emancipation' anthem 'Maggie's Farm' and ending it with (in my opinion) the best rendition of the best farewell ballad ever. Great swan song to his folk period!
I agree with everything here. That Maggie's Farm song he lays on them is like he's making a statement to them first thing. It's like he's saying i am no longer working under these same conditions. I have found a chance to move up and i am taking it. But then he sings this song, and it does seem kind of emotional for him. It almost seems like wants to cry at certain times during the song. Like he knows he's leaving behind some very wonderful, people, music, memories and the like. But he is determined to reach his full potential. So it is bittersweet, as any farewell song usually is.
@@dwaynepagnotto6771 Emotional for sure. I think it was bitter/sweet for Bob. He loved it and them but felt it was time to move on. Ironically people disparaged him with going commercial but I think he felt he had more to do, and clearly he did. I don't think the choice of the songs Maggie's Farm and Baby Blue were an accident. I think he did Mr Tamborine man too, maybe to ease the pain.
@@danlamont2884 Yes, yes. Absolutely good call on that my friend. he had to give them something. I think he knew that if he just played the electric tunes and left, his loyal supporters might've considered that a bit selfish and dropped off. So he hooked them up with a little bit of old style Bobby-D, and left them happy and contented for the moment. It was a smart move. He woulda been starting his new direction on the wrong foot if he just burst their hopes and dreams apart, then left. Good comment my friend. I really enjoyed what you had to say.
Awesome ! Incredible poise and confidence at such a young age. The imagery of a much older man....(forget the dead you've left-they will not follow you) etc., etc.
Knappe compositie! Alweer "a timeless masterpiece". Alweer een sublieme Bob Dylan compositie... die door diverse anderen mooi & knap werden gezongen....met vaak een rijker en mooiklinkend arrangement... B D is een verdiende Nobelprijswinnaar van Literatuur... veel van zijn songs zijn gebalde romans... ongelooflijk knap... met hele knappe vondsten erin! Te bewonderen! Blij dat ik kan genieten van het "uitzonderlijk knappe" in heel wat Dylan songs...
People don't understand how significant this song was to the HIPPIE MOVEMENT. Baby Blue is the USA as in the flag. "Strike another match go start anew" led thousands of us to hit the road and don't look back.
No his band at Newport 1965 for the electric set was Michael Bloomfield (electric guitar), Barry Goldberg (organ), Al Kooper (organ), Jerome Arnold (bass), Sam Lay (drums). He only hooked up with the musicians who made up "the Band" later. Also the electric set was first and this after. Apart from that you are right.
@@CLHallin Like I said, "Right after this"....I didn't say he played at Newport with Robbie and the boys. A month or two later they were touring with Bob.
@@CLHallin That is spot on Conrad. He really gave Kooper and Bloomfield their start. They went on to record an album or two of their own. Great musicians in their own right. I saw Dylan at the Mosque Theater in Newark, NJ in 1966. HIs first set was all accoustic and the second set was electric with Kooper and Bloomfield. Great show.
Spot on what??? Bob hooked up with The Band (The Hawks back then) shortly after the 1965 Newport Festival. Performed world wide. Performed the best versions ever of "Like A Rolling Stone" and "Ballad Of A Thin Man" (better than the studio versions that didn't include The Band).
I love the festival style shows that were put on in the past. I went to some outdoor shows when I lived in Colorado. Bruce Springsteen played at Red Rocks amphitheater, and I also saw Joni Mitchell there. In Boulder football stadium I saw Kansas as an opening band to The rolling stones. It poured down rain put now one cared, we all had fun and the sun came out right before the Kansas came out. It was festival seating and my friends and I got close to the stage. Kansas was awesome, they were in their early days and some wore Jean overalls. We wanted to hear more they were so good. The Stones were good and I still have some pictures of them. I don't like shows in crowded indoor places. It was a fun time watching concerts. I never saw Bob Dylan, I never had a chance. I wish I would have. He sounds awesome in his early years.
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast Yonder stands your orphan with his gun Crying like fire in the Sun Look out the saints are comin' through And it's all over now, Baby Blue The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense Take what you have gathered from coincidence The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home All your reindeer armies, they are all going home The lover who has just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue
I was so Proud to be an American when Mr. Dillman played this new clever song 63 . to Donavan in a Hotel room. After Donavan sang his new song that was rather ordinary
"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" is a song that is actually written by Bob Dylan and featured on his Bringing It All Back Home album, released on March 22, 1965, by Columbia Records.
Its important to understand some context with this performance. He had just finished his electric set and Peter Yarrow asked him to do one more, Dylan wasnt very pleased. You can hear him directing his verse to the audience, who want him to continue as the folk hero they know and love, Dylan seems to want none of that. He's organic and is ready for the next chapter. " You must leave now take what you need, You think will last" Those emotions make this a steller performance in my opinion.
As I was saying, Clayton was a close friend who joined Dylan on the famous road trip down Highway 61 to New Orleans. But by the mid-60s, Dylan would no longer tolerate Clayton's erratic speed-filled antics, and he dumped Clayton. Desperate, out of money, ignored by Dylan and the record companies, Clayton committed suicide in 1967. His estate did pry some money out of Dylan for the music to "Don't Think Twice It's All Right," which Dylan "borrowed" from one of Clayton's songs. A sad story all around, but largely forgotten. Many of the references in "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" allude to Clayton, e.g., "sea sick sailors," which refers to the many sea shanties that Clayton recorded in his prime. "The vagabond who was knocking at your door, is wearing the clothes that you once wore," is if course Dylan referring to himself, and so on.
Yup, another truly great song, and using his truly great fire-makes-noise imagery that he employs all the time (chimes of freedom flashing, crying like a fire in the sun, crimson flames tied through my ears, struck by the sounds before the sun, the sky is erupting, one who sings with his tongue on fire &c.).
❤️ The harp piece is the best bit of harmonica , I have ever heard. Bob wraps it up fast so as not too spoil it on this night Mesmerising is the word, the harp. People have asked me how did you play so good? It is what it is. Thank you for loading
Perhaps you should listen to later versions of this song. The harp playing is incredible. What your hearing here is OK, but on later recordings becomes sublime.
For me, it's only DYLAN! Nobody has shared his God-given talents in such multitudes and for his entire life like Bob. Who will carry the torch as he did for Woody? Nobody.
One of his best. In this performance, the sky too is folding "over" you; it makes more literal sense, but the original "under you" seems to me more apocalyptic, as (I feel) fits this song better.
Love Bob. Revisiting the 64-66 period. His best version of this. Also check the 13th Floor Elevators version, Chocolate Watchband version and the one by Them (Van Morrison) as well.

Thanks buddy, for hipping us to that! There's been a lot of confusion as to whether it was Bob or Irving Berlin.
There's Bob dylan and then there everyone else
‘I’m first among equals. Second to none! The last of the best. You can bury the rest’ B.Dylan. He is the iconoclast to the icons.
Absolutely. He stands at the top of a mountain that no one else has even found in comparison.
Dylan's vocal phrasing is fantastic.

Didn’t,t win a Nobel prize for nothing.

An artistic one-off, unlike anyone before or since. We should consider ourselves lucky...
The greatest poet/ musician of all time .

Right !❤❤❤But Mozarts songwriter was also ok😅😂And no, NOT oldfashioned.

Columbia ad from about sixty years ago: "Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan."
I'm 73 and listened to him on the juke box in England at the cafe. Subteranean Homesick Blues. My sixpences helped propel him. I hope.
His voice was so clear and strong - sounds great!
Love his voice on this one and many others. Superb!!
No one writes like Dylan! ❤️
And no-one writes like Taylor Swift.
Been a fan since 1963 still waiting for some one better!
You’ve been with Dylan since the beginning. What’s your favorite album of his?
Mine currently: Another Side 1964
*_You're going to have a long, long long wait ...._*
I get into another level of consciousness when he sings this song. I could listen to it for hours and not even realize that time has passed. But the same is true for 200 other of his incredible songs.
Just love him what a poet he is I’m 28 and he’s my all time favourite artist absolutely legendary ❤
I'm about the same age as you, and Bob Dylan is my all-time favorite artist, as well!
So great that young people now appreciate the utter brilliance and inspiration of his poetry and music!
'Crying like a fire in the sun'. That's you Bob.
It was a very special moment to witness Dylan play this in Nottingham last month, almost 60 years later
Take what you have gathered from coincidence - unbelievably true!
Bob Dylan has been in many bands but the fact is that he doesn't need any band at all

I always thought of certain songs by Dylan and Cohen to be prophetic of what is coming.
Thank God this is recorded
this song gives me the chills. pure magic!
We need the 60s to come back!
its too late now, all we can do is remember the good days
It's a gift for me to have Bobs musiic and great lyrics in the time of my Life.Grew up in the States and got my first Dylan record at the age of 16.

Bruce Springsteen played at Red Rocks amphitheater, and I also saw Joni Mitchell there. In Boulder football stadium I saw Kansas as an opening band to The rolling stones. It poured down rain put now one cared, we all had fun and the sun came out right before the Kansas came out. It was festival seating and my friends and I got close to the stage. Kansas was awesome, they were in their early days and some wore Jean overalls. We wanted to hear more they were so good. The Stones were good and I still have some pictures of them. I don't like shows in crowded indoor places. It was a fun time watching concerts. I never saw Bob Dylan, I never had a chance. I wish I would have. He sounds awesome in his early years.
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like fire in the Sun
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
All your reindeer armies, they are all going home
The lover who has just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
It's all over now baby blue.....
How good was this. How it still is.....
It defines. Dylan was and is totally committed to avoiding the worship of his fans.
always a favourite
Such power!
For the 60s, 70s and forever.
His prime time! Though the 90s were pretty good, ngl
I was so Proud to be an American when Mr. Dillman played this new clever song 63 . to Donavan in a Hotel room. After Donavan sang his new song that was rather ordinary
The times they really were a’changing💪🙏
"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" is a song that is actually written by Bob Dylan and featured on his Bringing It All Back Home album, released on March 22, 1965, by Columbia Records.
"Actually?"
Love this song
many artists have tried to cover this ! bob Dylan is far the best by a long way
Its important to understand some context with this performance.
He had just finished his electric set and Peter Yarrow asked him to do one more, Dylan wasnt very pleased.
You can hear him directing his verse to the audience, who want him to continue as the folk hero they know and love, Dylan seems to want none of that. He's organic and is ready for the next chapter. " You must leave now take what you need, You think will last"
Those emotions make this a steller performance in my opinion.
As I was saying, Clayton was a close friend who joined Dylan on the famous road trip down Highway 61 to New Orleans. But by the mid-60s, Dylan would no longer tolerate Clayton's erratic speed-filled antics, and he dumped Clayton. Desperate, out of money, ignored by Dylan and the record companies, Clayton committed suicide in 1967. His estate did pry some money out of Dylan for the music to "Don't Think Twice It's All Right," which Dylan "borrowed" from one of Clayton's songs. A sad story all around, but largely forgotten. Many of the references in "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" allude to Clayton, e.g., "sea sick sailors," which refers to the many sea shanties that Clayton recorded in his prime. "The vagabond who was knocking at your door, is wearing the clothes that you once wore," is if course Dylan referring to himself, and so on.
Yup, another truly great song, and using his truly great fire-makes-noise imagery that he employs all the time (chimes of freedom flashing, crying like a fire in the sun, crimson flames tied through my ears, struck by the sounds before the sun, the sky is erupting, one who sings with his tongue on fire &c.).
These are some of my favorite lines/images of his. They work magic on me.
One of a kind for sure....thx for the memories Bob....
One for the history videos
The Rimbaud of modern time
❤️ The harp piece is the best bit of harmonica , I have ever heard.
Bob wraps it up fast so as not too
spoil it on this night
Mesmerising is the word, the harp.
People have asked me how did you play so good?
It is what it is.
Thank you for loading
Perhaps you should listen to later versions of this song. The harp playing is incredible. What your hearing here is OK, but on later recordings becomes sublime.
yeah, pretty good
The two greatest song writers over the past 60 years . . . . Bob Dylan and Keith Reid
For me, it's only DYLAN! Nobody has shared his God-given talents in such multitudes and for his entire life like Bob. Who will carry the torch as he did for Woody? Nobody.
One of his best. In this performance, the sky too is folding "over" you; it makes more literal sense, but the original "under you" seems to me more apocalyptic, as (I feel) fits this song better.
Love Bob. Revisiting the 64-66 period. His best version of this. Also check the 13th Floor Elevators version, Chocolate Watchband version and the one by Them (Van Morrison) as well.
Love the Them version.
Più passano gli anni, più diventa la mia preferita. Insieme a Desolation Row, of course ;)
Van morrison nails this song ❤
Classic Dylan! ❤️
Love it..Bob Dylan is a True Legend..
Ever tried to learn to play the harmonica? It's incredibly difficult and takes years of practice, but Dylan makes it look so easy.
Thanks for posting
