Forever Young



Recorded at a concert near Niagara Falls in 2003.

The Times They are a Changin' - With Hugues Aufray



Bob plays his most enduring tune with a popular French singer, Hugues Aufray. Not sure how much of Bob singing is going on here. Guess he doesn't know Jack French.

Boogie Woogie Country Girl



From a tribute album to Doc Pomus. Circa 1994.

Bob Dylan (vocal & guitar), Bucky Baxter (pedal steel guitar & electric slide guitar), John Jackson (guitar), Tony Garnier (bass), Winston Watson (drums & percussion)

Highway 61 Revisited - 1997 in KCMO



This was my first Bob Dylan concert, July 31 at Penn Valley Park in Kansas City, and this is the song that made the biggest impression on me. This is not a great version, as far as sound goes.

I was standing way back in the crowd, so it's nice to see the details closer now ... such as that he's playing a Les Paul. I do remember Bob's struttin' solo.

Highway 61 Revisited



From an Aug. 14, 2009, show in Fresno, Calif.

Great sound and good quality video.

I remember the first time I saw Dylan. Must have been about 1997 in Kansas City. This song made the greatest impression on me. That night it was so powerful and rockin.

In that sense, not much has changed.

Heartbreak Hotel



Doin' the King. Not much in terms of video here, but the sound is great. A snarly Heartbreak Hotel.

Jolene



From the Aug. 5 show in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Jolene, from the new album.

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum



Great sound on this song from the Aug. 4 show in Round Rock, Texas.

Also featuring Charlie Sexton on guitar.

No video, just one image.

Crazy love, with Van Morrison



Bob sat in with Van Morrison for the 1991 filming of the Van classic for the documentary on Van, "One Irish Rover."

All Along the Watchtower, with Charlie Sexton



From the Aug. 4 concert in Round Rock, Texas.

Austin-area resident and former band member Charlie Sexton sits in on this encore song.

The video is great. Unfortunately the audio ... not so much.

Forgetful heart



Guitar sounds so clear on this one. Vocals set back in the mix, hauntingly.

Yet another one from Summerfest, Milwaukee, July 1, 2009.

No video. Just a picture.

So far Bob has not set a date in Kansas City. Please come to my town!!!

I'll be your baby tonight



Another one from Summerfest, July 1, 2009 in Milwaukee. Bob on guitar.

What a fine growl. This was the third song of his set.

I shall be released



From a 1986 tribute concert to Martin Luther King.

Classic 80s Dylan, white sneakers, left earring, shoulder pads and all.

Jolene



From July 1, 2009, in Milwaukee. Supposedly this is the first time he's played this song live in the U.S., but feel free to correct me.

Just audio and pictures. No video.

Highlands



Nice homemade video.
