Love Minus Zero/No Limit often allows bob to sing and play with uttermost tenderness and passion.
I never got to see any mid 90s shows and I wish I could of because Bob was in good spirits from 93-95 and he had a great band. I don’t want to take anything from any other years (especially the early 90s acoustic stuff) – I just think these three years are very special. The MTV Unplugged performance is an example of how focused Bob was in these times. World Gone Wrong also features intricute vocals and guitar work by Dylan.
My favorite thing about this version is the amount of time Bob hangs on the end of each line and the space in between them. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this!
Love Minus Zero/No Limit was first released on Bringing It All Back Home in 1965. This is Bob’s first electric album and is a must have!
I find this somewhat bizarre as I have never seen a Jewish telethon before. I don’t think there are that many clips out there of Bob Dylan solely playing lead guitar for someone and not singing a word. His electric guitar playing probably could have been mixed in better but this is definitely a must see for dedicated Dylan fans.
Here is another Chabad telethon clip I found. This one is from 1989 and features Peter Himmelmann, Harry Dean Stanton and Moiche Rubenstein – aka Bob Dylan. ha. They perform a traditional Romanian song and Bob is playing a flute and recorder in this clip.
Wow Letterman has aged alot since this video – so has Bob. Almost 15 years ago! Bob went on this show to promote World Gone Wrong which was released on Oct 26, 1993.
This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan videos I’ve found. Bob knows he is being recorded for TV and he is living up to his standards. Wearing clothes a la Rolling Thunder Revue almost and the band is there to provide Bob with an amazing solemn groove with the usual amazing steel guitar from Bucky Baxter.
Bob plays a wonderful solo on the guitar around the 3:00 mark which makes the hairs on the back on my neck stand up!
This was a smoking band and there’s no doubt about it at all. I love the way sings this and I never thought gravel could be so smooth and beautiful.
Forever Young was first released on ‘Planet Waves’ in 1974. There are actually two different versions of the song on the record.
After doing an all-nighter. Since I’ve started DylanTube I can barely sleep. I just want to keep on working on it to build it up. I am constantly checking stats and finding out if all my hard promo work is paying off. I find it to be very exciting stuff and I am confident DylanTube will grow into an healthy blog that has a tight relationship with Google.
This is a great video all around. Great camera work and audio/visual quality and great performace from Bob and his band. I love the spacing in between lines in this version. It makes the song longer which is good because it’s a good one.
Bob plays great lead solos and his guitar his high up in the mix sounding real cool while Bucky Baxter is sliding in on the pedal steel. I think as good as Larry Campbell would have already been I’m sure he would of had Bucky Baxter in his head when he took over the pedal steel in 1998.
This song is really a well written and beautiful song which was originally realeased on the album Oh Mercy in 1989. You can buy Oh Mercy from Amazon and also Time out of Mind which was released in the year of this performance.

How refreshing is that! In the future I’ll set up a donations box and try to get DylanTube hosted on a good server. You can do way more stuff with WordPress.org blogs.
Dylan’s performances at this concert were very warm and passionate. His deliveries are also fresh as this was one of the rare occasions he played live between 1966-1974. His voice isn’t quite as smooth as it was on Nashville Skyline (1969)/Self Portrait (1970) and not as rough as it was on Pat Garrett/Billy the Kid (1973) and Planet Waves (1974). I think we are watching a good Dylan here but I will say that about any performace he does.
This one is a stand out though! It features George Harrison on the Fender Stratocaster, Leon Russell on the Fender Precision bass and Ringo Starr on the tambourine! Wow-ie!
I love the way he sings it like a love song – lines like ’sleeps in the sa – and’, ‘before they’re allowed to be free’ ‘blowin’ in the wind’.
Bob is the Best with a capital B!

This one is a video of Bob covering the great Johnny Cash song ‘Big River’. In my humble opinion this is fantastic audience footage. Whoever shot this must have been very happy with this. Bob is having a good time playing great sounding guitar and even does a lead solo.
