Bob Dylan brings his wrench to Desolation Row

Darien Lake, Buffalo

[@richarddrums8045]

This was a heart-wrenching rendition.

[@grayigloo2023]

just like Bob, to throw a wrench in the gears...

[@bbwolfe6144]

LOL...I've seen Bob 35 times or more and have always left feeling like I had the privilege of being allowed inside the. artists studio. Most of those times were very, very good, 3 were jaw-dropping. Thanks Bob.

[@corneliakapelinski]

I always thought that Bob Dylan was the first ' Rappin ' Man on the musical- horizon . With : 'it's alright Ma'..from 1965 he released this legendary experience. Now he gives an addition.This Man got a head full of ideas and the good thing is, it never ends

[@Michael-ro8vc]

Bob was so much older then, he's younger than that now......this is fantastic. To all that go to his shows nowadays and complain. The nicest way I can say it is, pay more attention.

[@Jamoof]

First time I've ever seen Bob with lyrics onstage!

[@huskobar4545]

Play Bobby Play... ...Play Upon My Big Brass Wrench

[@corneliakapelinski]

It's so nice how Tony Garnier is dancing

[@rolandpabst]

Thank you for this very unique and remarkable recording. Enjoyed it a lot. It looks like I am not the only one

[@justjay4412]

I would have been a lesser Jay if I hadn't come across Bobby Dylan when I was 11 years old. You gotta fight for your right to party.

[@grayigloo2023]

a wrench...the element Bob's shows have been missing all these years!

[@marxtoll]

They've been there on the piano already for quite some time

[@mgmtclementi2714]

Never saw Bob clap hands at a concert !! 😂

[@jerrymorsett4622]

These people have zero connection with bob........they should have went to Jamestown

[@Michael64425]

Oh and nearly forgot ! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@ksb994]

Takes my breath away, amazing!

[@tammydean4479]

Keep on keeping on beautiful Dylan ❤🌹

[@jerrymorsett4622]

Everyone walking around and not showing respect to bob dylan should never be aloud to go to any concert......I hate everyone of those people

[@fransbuijs808]

It's a festival. Those things happen. People come for the atmosphere, for fun, for being able to say that they have been there, for Willie Nelson... It has a different vibe from seeing Dylan in a theater.

[@Michael64425]

Amazing Dylan,terrible audience walking around a worldwide phenomenon in 2024.Spend your money on something else if you don’t want to enjoy music or see a master at work ❤

[@ZilleNo1]

Thats why he (my friend) is coming to Germany. I will meet him in Erfurt. I hope so. ♥ I am looking forward...

[@WithaplanforLife]

He has been playing to such huge crowds it seemed like people were not paying attention, so he did this.

[@cschuldt]

This is beautiful. Thank you Bob Dylan!!!

[@Anthony-hu3rj]

I think Bob even realized the tempo was too slow and decided to try anything to pick it up.

[@fransbuijs808]

Good point. But this is the last song where I would expect a "clap yo hands ya'll".

[@jimsalvucci]

interesting how, when the band finally picks up the beat he is clapping and tapping out, the crowd suddenly gets on its feet and comes alive.

[@fransbuijs808]

In the beginning it was a bit dull. It had nothing of the power that the original had.

[@DavidStewart-v5e]

alive? you call that living??

[@gonzo3249]

Thank you Virgil!!! You are 👑!

[@ahhouizowie]

I was there,ans he was actually trying to show the right beat to his rhythm section.

[@slumdogjay]

I was thinking that.

[@FernandoGarcin]

Wrench and roll. So funny, unexpected, Bob knows thats life about.

[@HawkesChris]

When Bob first started singing Desolation Row in concert the audience would sit in silence listening to every word.... These audiences today seem to have no respect. I'm seeing Bob in Liverpool in Nov first concert I've been to with mobile phones banned. Will be interesting to see if it helps.

[@margaretwalker7600]

I attended the Glasgow concert last year and mobile phones being banned was the best thing ever. I never film concerts anyway, I just like being in the moment and it was great not to have distracting lights flashing everywhere. Just concentrate on Mr Dylan.

[@jimwilson2960]

So beautiful and deep.

[@enricoholley7658]

Bob having a Pete Seeger moment

[@looselucy5631]

This sounds much better close than it did on the lawn. Regardless of the band or the audience, hitting a mic is torture to the listener and he knows that. That aside, does anyone know if Darien Lake has terrible lawn monitors on purpose?

[@sussibaki6503]

Is this wrechrock!!? he invented a genre!!!

[@markkindermannart4028]

I think the only reason for taking a wrench to a live microphone on stage is if you are pissed at your drummer lol

[@enricoholley7658]

I don't think it's that. Jim Keltner one of best drummers in the industry.

[@markkindermannart4028]

@@enricoholley7658 I agree, but why the heck is he cracking a live mic with a beat??

[@williamdanylo9960]

​@@enricoholley7658 BUSTER SIDEBURY in the flesh!

[@aljustal6554]

Everyone is either making love or else expecting rain.

[@wordswordswords8203]

lol nobody like Bob. I like the line about when he talk about how the doorknob broke, you ask me how I'm doing, is that some kind of joke. haha so true. It sucks when the doorknob breaks and it is so symbolic

[@WithaplanforLife]

Getting better every night.

[@tonycorleone3420]

Beautiful

[@rstner3053]

Thankfully, it was a left hand monkey wrench. 👍

[@roseannarawlins1897]

Yay, Mr. Dylan😊

[@Suzanne.574]

Wow, really amazing!

[@patrickshea6455]

Chills

[@peterbadami4872]

Dylan is one of the greatest lyricists of all time, but it doesn't make him a master of everything. Having to bang a wrench on a mic a bunch of times while singing because you feel your drummer is lagging or you want the tempo faster doesn't show great communication skills as a bandleader. Dylan has over 60 years of experience leading bands, he should know if his bandmates aren't picking up on non-verbal signs to use his best attribute, his words!

[@brentwhite9712]

Hate to say it, but seems like Keltner was asleep? I think Bob was looking for the push that the band needed.

[@toshfriborg4964]

Amazing 😇

[@monicalamb8578]

omg, Ty !!

[@rexozone]

Was it a crescent wrench or a socket to me...

[@bobthehuntsman1548]

This sounds so good.

[@DavidStewart-v5e]

lol

[@loriscunado3607]

¡No merece la pena tocar en esas tristes circunstancias!

Bob's silver hammer

[@tonycorleone3420]

Came down upon his mic

[@matts7214]

Life is but a joke indeed

[@davidm6149]

I think he is just criticizing the drummer

[@DavidStewart-v5e]

sad to see the decline of this once brilliant mind

[@rrakove]

Wow

[@ambientearth1758]

Sad.

[@mgmtclementi2714]

Nice rehearsal ! 😂😉

[@aellbogen]

People who clap and are not on stage sux

[@eveofmay755]

Was this Darien Lake?

[@virgilkinsley]

Yes

[@stewartbrands]

How is mumbling with no diction nor melodic nuance or a slight breath of rythme heart-wrenching,breath taking or remarkable? 4 musicians afraid to play and interupt some sort of person icon pretending he can be heard? Guess U.S culture is entering the mysterious phase.

[@johncordes7885]

As lady and I look out
