Forever Young, with Bruce Springsteen
Nice version. From one of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concerts.
Not dark yet
Not much to say. One of Bob's most haunting songs of all time, and great to know that he's got some more left in the tank.
One too many mornings
With The Band, live at the Isle of Wight, 1969.
Really poor quality audio, but Robbie's guitar comes through pretty clean.

Maggie's Farm
1975. A great version. Bob's voice sounds great. Mick Ronson on guitar.
Wearing a headband and scarf was a requisite for this show's players.
Check out all those Fender guitar amps stacked up.
Blowin' in the Wind, with Keith Richards and Ron Wood
From the 1985 Live Aid concert. Three icons of rock music. Three acoustic guitars.
Bob must break a string because after Keith Richards' solo, Ron Wood gives up his guitar to Bob.
Crossroads, with Eric Clapton
Recorded at Madison Square Garden, July 30, 1999.
At 1:30, who takes the first solo? None other than his Bobness.
Man, the Rhodes piano sounds great too.

No habla espanol? No problema - Nettie Moore
Interesting video with Spanish subtitles.
"Escapa de estos demagagos"
Hazel, with The Band
This was recorded with The Band at the Last Waltz concert but it did not appear in the movie. This is from a bootleg called "Lost Waltz."
It's hell time man
Not much in the way of a video but what a wicked song. This was the first time I heard it and I must say I want to hear more!
From the Band of the Hand album
Just like Tom Thumb's Blues
A homemade video featuring a bootleg version of Bob live at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, September 3, 1965. From the bootleg "We had known a lion"
The sound is so clear. Love how the guitar sounds like a mandolin at times.
Don't fall apart on me tonight
With Mark Knopfler from the Infidels sessions.
I love the sound of the drums, especially the kick. So simple. It lets the rest of the song do the talking.
Simple twist of fate
From "the World of John Hammond." September 10, 1975.
"He felt the heat of the night ... hit him like a freight train"

The Death of Emmitt Till
Someone put images and text to the story of Emmitt Till. A nice way to add to the storytelling.
Baby please don't go
Listen to the snarl in Bob's voice and wonderful syncopation in the harp playing.

Supposedly Bob has not played this song live since that year. Please correct if wrong.
I'll be your baby tonight - Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson
This is from Bob's 30th anniversary concert. Bob is not in the video, but it's still cool.

Bob sells out again! Pepsi Super Bowl commercial features Forever Young with Dylan and Will.I.Am.
One of my favorite commercials from the Super Bowl, for sure. I liked the other Pepsi commercial too.
Trail of the Buffalo
This was called "Hills of Mexico" on the Basement Tapes.
This is from 1991 in Europe somewhere.
Knocking on Heaven's Door, with the Heartbreakers
With Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Nice harp playing by Bob.
Great harmonizing between Tom Petty and Bob.
Benmont Tench really adds a lot on the piano, too.
