Blind Willie McTell

[@johnmarano6286]

Is this guy the greatest songwriter in the world or what?

[@deniskostic1502]

Back in the days his words was such a important ( for me even today) I remember when they released from jail Boston George Jung he said : ,,Once when I was had bad time during my 20 years in jail Bob Dylan has called me !!! ( He was crying ..I mean George was crying) One of biggest smugglers of all the time ( movie ,,Blow") Today we live in the World without deep emotions!!! Have a good life everyone .

[@hamishbrown2951]

This is the most extraordinary performance, yet in Dylan's classic underplayed style. The song itself is astonishing both in terms of lyrics and composition, but the quality of the guitar playing by band members in this clip, and of course by the man himself is more than just right; uplifting even. There are many amazing perfomances by Dylan on KZbin but it is rare to find one quite this good. It is my favourite by a long way and "a salve for the ills of the world" which I watch/listen to often. Bless you Bob. A lifesaver in these tough times.

[@tomasramirez4985]

No time on this life is tough when you realize you are your soul, and that souls are eternal.

Great. He deserves 100 Nobel's !

[@didierfaes2574]

j'n'connais pas Blind Willie mc Tell, jamais entendu chanter ...mais ce que Dylan nous donne avec cet hommage est un morceau d'anthologie

[@dirthog1313]

Thanks POPS I needed this today, love it when KZbin randomly plays videos you posted 😢

[@ruisvoorn]

Geweldig!, topmuzikanten die hun plek weten.

[@Danielle7208]

AMAZINGLY PERFORMED ! BOB' S VOICE AND SINGING MELTS TO HIS LYRICS WITH SO MUCH EMOTION, CREATING THUS THE SETTING AND THE ATMOSPHERE OF THIS GORGEOUS SONG , A REAL GEM THAT WAS LEFT UNRELEASED "SLEEPING " IN SOME DRAWERS FOR SOME YEARS !!!

[@apmgtv]

Preach it Bob! Nice work on the Gibson too.

[@sparrowx4442]

Suddenly this seems like Dylan's most heartfelt song…

[@tomasramirez4985]

It's Dylan's tribute to THE BLUES, genre he always loved and never managed to really sing and play. However, with this song, he transcended the genre.

[@kiewoolston]

Great sound, making me want to listen to Bob all day

[@GD-me2lv]

This is just like that song Blind Willie McTell sang called "Nobody can sing the blues like Bob Dylan".

[@jakes5047]

Ummm? That is exactly what it is!

[@eiffel6565]

Just AMAZING !!

[@almendelsohn]

Happy birthday Bob! So happy to find this amazing version. The low # of views is shameful

[@Kennymurraycampbell]

Great song Bob.

[@mrazomordorcarac4645]

the best song of his!

[@javierramos1249]

Thanks Bobby! I follow what you say.

[@Edengardenmedia]

If i had one person in the world i could choose to sing me out of here its going to be Bob Dylan i hope i get to dance a slow dance one day.x

[@sharonholland7062]

Gosto dessa demais.

Not a huge Dylan fan but I love this. Searing rendition of a great song.

[@ericmargolis558]

Thanks. It's a dirge.

East Texas = the Branch Davidians in Waco

[@JorgeLMarquezsM]

oh, tiene que ser el 97 o 98, por la banda/

[@janekathy1]

When was this concert? In the vein of Blind Willie McTell, this is a great video of a performance earlier this year that it seems hard to find video of (don't want to use any keywords and get it taken down) facebook dot com/video/video dot php?v=10150576251305540

[@oscar3eyes]

Remember Waco!

[@brunosm.l2267]

The sound isn't from the video or that show, right? Or is it from that show?

[@brunosm.l2267]

Also, I think the lyric says "and we are what was his.."

[@AMEER-114-]

​@@brunosm.l2267 We all want what's HIS

[@TiberiusKent]

What show is this.

[@keithfitzsimons815]

Great song and great version! Why did he leave it off "Infidels" though?

[@Kafkaesque3]

It's a mystery, just like how Foot of Pride wasn't included on Infidels either. Another mysterious Outtake was Series of Dreams for the album Oh Mercy.

[@keithfitzsimons815]

Kafkaesque3 indeed all superb songs.

[@tomasramirez4985]

Because the song is probably his best and it needed a special treatment. A magician best trick always resides on hiding.

[@deniskostic1502]

I had opportunity to hear one version which is even better ,faster and little bit more soulful Could you believe that

[@m00nracer]

who is that playing bass?

[@TheJuicyVlog]

Tony Garnier, been with Bob from 1989 to the present day

[@debnabru]

A 1min44 on dirait Mr Cabrel venant s'installer discrétos ! Qui peut confirmer ????

[@Danielle7208]

Francis Cabrel qui est un immense fan de Dylan, avait sorti un album d' adaptations de certaines chansons de Dylan dont celle-ci ( album " Vise le ciel " )

[@zimmermanlive]

Anyone have any idea when this was?

[@Danielle7208]

zimmermanlive I would say it is between 1995 and 2000 !

[@cherylr56]

+zimmermanlive , I saw him perform it like this at the ballpark in Tulsa, OK July 6, 2005. Hadn't heard it before and it blew my socks off. Was glad to finally come across this electric version this morning.

[@zimmermanlive]

cherylr56 How lucky. I had never heard this version until this video. It's a rockin alternate melody. Too bad he didn't perform it this way a bit before losing his voice that far.

[@alanmclemore3927]

It was an outtake from "Infidels", recorded in '83. It was officially released in '91 on the Bootleg Series albums, where I first came into contact with it. If you haven't heard that version, you really should get it somehow--it's far better than this pretty rough piece...

[@acousticshadow4032]

Caught Bob with same lineup in Virginia for a few shows, August 22-24 of 1997.

[@TelesticWarrior]

Definitely the greatest songwriter of all time, but he's always been awful at choosing what songs to include on his own albums. Both Blind Willie & Foot of Pride got inexplicably left off 'Infidels'. Why Bob, why? Infidels would have gone down as one of the best albums of all time, just imagine Blind Willie/Foot of Pride added to an album already including Man of Peace, i & i, Jokerman, & Licence to kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Danielle7208]

just because he is a prolific songwriter, so too many songs to choose from !

Do you know what's going to happen to the leaders? I repeat; do you know what God wants to happen to the leaders? The Lord Father Yahuas Yehuasha Messiah Jesus Christ The Holy Spirit Says: He Wishes that NONE Shall Perish!!! That goes for even those leaders who know nothing about Him!! But yet, They Do!!! This is The Parable Of The Lord Yehuasha Messiah Jesus Christ: Fear Not! I Shall Indeed Come! Repent and Repent of your sins, for I wish that None Shall Perish. If you enter into My Church with Thanksgiving, putting your hand over your shoulder to your heart, and you repeat The Apostle's Creed, and if you take My Communian that I taught you at My Last Supper, and I showed you My Body and Blood on The Cross that I beared for you, and I have forgiven the one's who pierced Me, and It Is I Who Knocked onto the doors of your hearts, and It Is I Who told The Father To Forgive You, Each and Every Living Soul, and also those who went before you since the beginning of My Creation, and It Is I Who Baptized Those Who Have Accepted Me With My Living Water and Spirit, and It Was I Who Was The Living Spirit Over The Deep Water that I Created Since Your Beginning That I Gave To You In Time, and It Was I Who Breathed Life into The First Of Mankind, Who I Made In My Image, and It Was I Who Gave To You on Ear-th My Own Word for He Who has an EAR on Ear-th to H-EAR! THEREFORE; IF IT BE I WHO WISHES NOT TO PERISH, AND GAVE TO YOU YOUR OWN FREE WILL, THEN REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND BELIEVE UNTO ME! For It Is I Who Shall bring the perfect Peace, and until then, you must make peace by following My Instructions; To Love Your Brethren, Even Your Enemies, and Forgive As I Taught You, Even Forgiving Yourselves of your own sins. You Shall All See Me Come The Final Time When I Hear Israel Say Blessed Is He Who Comes In The Name Of The Lord, and Israel Is Now The Whole World Who Believe Onto Me. I Am The Tree Of Life, and The Gentiles were once the Branches, but now have been grafted in as Believers, and The Vine That I have given to the leaders of the world are for Free Will for all of mankind and the vineyards are for knowing only I As The One True God. I gave the leaders the vine so that they could teach the bearing of fruit upon The Tree Of Life with great responsibility, and not any lack of. You Shall Have Redemption In Me Alone when you Repent and turn away from your sins, and come to Me and Speak My Name Only. End of message. Amen and Amen. Hallelujah
