It is always a great thing to see the King and Queen of Folk music get up on stage and sing together.
Most of us have seen Bob and Joan sing this classic song in the early sixties and mid seventies and it is good to see them up on stage together more recently – even though it was about 26 years ago. Apparantly their last live public performance together was in 1984 which is a shame. I would love to see them do some duets together today as I think she would be one person that would keep Dylan on his toes.
What do you think of the jacket Bob wears in this video? I think it looks cool as snow. Bob looks in particulary good shape here probably due to being more sensible with his lifestyle?
Joan sort of looks like a school teacher singing a song to her young students. I think this performance is a good one anyway – What do you think?
This may not be the best version of this song from the tour but I enjoyed Dylan raving on about the empty seats to his right. He said he wouldn’t sing until the people sat in the seats. Pretty funny.
There are some great harmonies between Bob and Tom and a few mistakes that they have a bit of a chuckle about.
Being a huge Self Portrait fan I had to post this. I love the version of this song on that album.
UPDATE – I watched this again earlier today and I liked it twice as much. Bob appears to be enjoying himself a lot and is pretty funny. I’m not so sure if he is lip syncing or not. I don’t see any mics but there could have been overheads? Bob does a good job if he is lip syncing.
Anyone know for sure?
This video really speaks for itself. I’ve never seen this promo clip for Infidels before today and I enjoyed it very much. Mick Taylor and Mark Knopfler were great additions to the lineup for Infidels as were the rhythm section.
Bob just cracks me up with his expressive lip syncing. I think I like the song more after watching this.
It’s also good to see where they recorded the album.
I quite like the way this video looks and sounds. The pedal steel cuts through and Dylan is center shot. This is one of those Bob videos where you can see other Bobs from the past in Bob, if that makes sense.
Bob performs this one with passion and is deep into the song. I think you can tell how good of a time Dylan is having by the way he plays. He is firing out some good lines on that strat. I think Bob’s guitar sound is pretty cool. Dirty and crunchy.
When it comes to Bob Dylan’s guitar sound what is your favorite time period?
If you don’t want to feel the hairs on the back of neck stand up – DON”T WATCH THIS!
Great video of a great performance of a great song here.
I never really got into this song as much until I heard the outtake on Tell Tale Signs. I can tell Bob really respects this song, which would be one of the reasons he left it alone when he released Oh Mercy.
I’ve said it before on DylanTube and I’ll say it again. Bob Dylan in 2000-2001 kicks ass. I believe it is a peak in his live career. I love his cruised out approach to delivering songs, the way he holds his fender stratocaster, the way he looks in general. In my opinion this would be one of his best band combinations also. Charlie Sexton, Larry Campbell, Tony Garnier and David Kemper – there is some good chemistry with them and they helped Bob rise in a big way.
Bob does a pretty good lead solo at ’round about the 3 minute mark and Tony’s bass playing is pretty punchy indeed.
Enjoy this one friends and don’t be afraid to leave your own comment.
It doesn’t seem that long ago since Amazon held their 10th anniversary concert on July 16th, 2005. I remember hearing the mp3 of this performance and not thinking all that much about it. I just found this video today and I must say I really enjoyed it.
As usual Bob puts on a good show when a female is involved. Dylan’s piano playing seems to be a bit jazzier than usual as does his vocals.
It’s always good to watch professional videos of Bob and this is a particularly good duet. What do you think?
Bob’s vocals blow me out on this performance. Whenever I think I know what his vocal range was for a certain time period, I’m always proved wrong by the man Himself. I really enjoy this song which was first released on Bob’s first album – ‘Bob Dylan’
Apart from the small snippet of video of Dylan and Jack White I saw recently this is the only video I have ever seen of Bob singing ‘One More Cup of Coffee’ post 70s.
I have heard a few versions from around this time but I am happy with the way Bob approaches the song in this performance. The melody lines he chooses to sing are simple but powerful and the band does a good job, although I thought the lead guitarist went off a bit too much at the start of the song.
I’m impressed by this video of ‘Girl From The North Country’ that shows Bob Dylan giving us a very passionate performance, playing emotive guitar runs and beautiful singing. I felt as I was in the song with Bob whilst watching this.
