Bob Dylan - Love Minus Zero/No Limit (Live at Savoy Hotel 1965) [HD FOOTAGE]

This is a request! Here's Bob playing one of my personal favorites for an audience of fellow musicians and friends, including what looks to be slightly jealous Donovan. This was recorded on May 8, 1965, at the Savoy Hotel in London, England by D.A. Pennebaker. A portion of this footage was included in "Don't Look Back," but the entire song was not released from the vaults until recently. Enjoy this gem while you can!

[@dariusdribbles.3981]

Me and Donovan show the same emotion when hearing Dylans craft. Admiration mingled with disassociation. He's not like the rest of us.

[@vdjowk]

Imagine if Bob decided to play It Ain't Me Babe or A Hard Rain, Donovan would kill himself afterwards hahaha

[@jj80808]

​@@vdjowkI like this song more than both of those personally great as they are but this comment made me lol

[@user-wl4rv7pi4h]

Donivan is thinking I should put my guitar away. Stunning

[@stevendreith4343]

Everyone listening shows different emotions. Dylan will do that to you.

[@johnny_carlos]

My love she speaks like silence Without ideals or violence She doesn't have to say she's faithful Yet she's true, like ice, like fire People carry roses And make promises by the hours My love she laughs like the flowers Valentines can't buy her In the dime stores and bus stations People talk of situations Read books, repeat quotations Draw conclusions on the wall Some speak of the future My love she speaks softly She knows there's no success like failure And that failure's no success at all The cloak and dagger dangles Madams light the candles In ceremonies of the horsemen Even a pawn must hold a grudge Statues made of match sticks Crumble into one another My love winks, she does not bother She knows too much to argue or to judge The bridge at midnight trembles The country doctor rambles Bankers' nieces seek perfection Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring The wind howls like a hammer The night blows rainy My love she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing This is real poetry!

[@lecaktus2242]

Correct me if i am wrong but i first saw this scene in Don't look back but the edit made the viewer thought that Dylan destroyed (with a smile :D) Donovan. For me, it was one of the highlights of the film! But i fact, in a longer version, it's donovan who asks bob to sing this song and bob was happy to do it!

[@SwinginPig]

Very true. I hadn’t caught that either until I saw the full version. However, I’m sure he was a bit envious of his genius. Who wouldn’t be?

[@targarosko]

only joy when i listen our genius thanks for this post ♥♥♥

[@Dusty999]

The middle age guy with the comb over is Derroll Adams, a folk singer who took Donovan under his wing and influenced him to a degree in American traditional music. Donovan wrote a song, "Epistle To Derroll", which is on his album ''A Gift From a Flower to a Garden''.

[@argentsilver928]

Dylan was very deliberate in his lyrical delivery to that fellow. He was fixed on him the whole time lol

[@clif_plays]

I cannot stop watching this.

[@brittbeck9158]

Neither can I, there are many clips on KZbin, longer than this. Poor Donovan didn’t know at the time, that people 50 years later could watch this fantastic show, on a gigantic TV. In our homes. I don’t believe in mercy talk. Bob was amazingly good, Bob shall not feel guilty cause he’s brilliant. It’s the naked truth, Donovan was pretty lame, his choice to compete. Look at the English men when Donovan sings, look when Bob sings.it’s very easy to recognize the Englishmen. Just look at their hair. The American guy, sitting on the floor smiles when BD is on the guitar..Some people says , that Bob should have done a simpler performance ! No no, no that had been dishumanitet. Bob wasn’t cruel, he just did his songs. ENCORE 🌺🌸🌹to Bob

[@blackcrow7049]

This is an epic encounter between Dylan and Donovan . In this documentary shows newspaper headlines comparing both musicians . A lot has been written about this , Donovan begin to play '' To sing for You '' while Dylan applauds the song saying '' It's a great song '' , but with his eyes fixed on the guitar . After Donovan finishes playing, Dylan promptly gets up from his seat and goes over to take the guitar from Donovan's hands . The scottish gave it not very convinced , but little else could do to the effusiveness of Bob , and innocently asks for a song he wished to hear ... Dylan begins to sing It's All Over Now , Baby Blue and then links with this one , Love Minus Zero , leaving those presents half hypnotized with his performance ... Today we can see with a little more perspective than then , and if we follow what Donovan has done throughout his career , I think the ''envy'' that he could feel for Dylan would not be justified . Donovan is a great musician (Lennon himself learned some guitar technical resource from him) , the problem was that he never shake all the folkie aura that made him famous , very unlike Dylan who made it very clear even when he was at the top of his popularity. Perhaps here Donovan shows a ''healthy envy'' ....... Who does not if u have in front a genius that turns into gold everything that composes ???

I don't know how it can be said that Bobs eyes were fixed on the guitar when he was rockin' his shades during Donovans song. Just an observation :) Greatful we have this piece of musical history to savor.

Lennon was not a great guitar lead. George Harrison played lead guitar in the Beatles and taught Lennon much more over time, although Lennon would pretty much remain a great rhythm guitar player. Donovan never had the guts to go electric like Dylan did -- he would lose all his old fans and was afraid he wouldn't gain new fans. Dylan had no such fear.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

I don't see Donovan being jealous at all. He was already a very accomplished folk-singer at this point. Here I see him studying Dylan's guitar technique. I'm sure he admired Dylan's song-writing but it really wasn't Donovan's style.

[@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536]

thank you.. Peace

[@donaldphee1651]

Interesting and to think Buck Owens covered this #... I have seen the footage where Bob plays it"s all over now after Donovan sings one. Yeah that expression after Bob smoked his eyelids before he even thought of it in verse! Years ago I had a paperback version of this movie that included pictures and all the dialogue only wish I had hung onto it....

[@nemonautilus9807]

"The Good/The Ugly/& the Bad One"! (Revisited!). When a guy with a Guitar & a Voice like that plays & sings in the face of another guy Who nervously listening to while He is smoking a cigarette, a beautifoul Masterpiece such as Love Minus Zero, Well my friend, you're a dead man!. First rule of the game, Mr. Donovan: Never, Never throw the guantlet to Dylan! Game Set & Match! The Sign of Bobby! 😜😜😜 Another historical footage Mr. Swingin'! Great Great stuff as usual! I Wish you & all the Bob listeners a very fine weekend!🤗🤗🤗

Goodness people, can’t this just be Dylan singing a great song and other people listening and enjoying it? It doesn’t need or deserve to be defined as some battle between Dylan and Donovan or to disparage Donovan for some reason.

Great post! You might remember that I was the person who had requested this originally. Not complaining, but I was hoping that you had access to the full version of the song, with the end of the song intact. Good job anyway!

[@SwinginPig]

Ah, sorry about that! All of the verses are included in this version, so do you mean the guitar strumming ending?

[@jeffsiegal389]

Yes, this is the one I was referring to - as well as the extra strumming at the end it also has some good reactions and dialogue - kzbin.info/www/bejne/paLaZX6wbquWrpo

By the way , I think that guitar ( an Ibanez ?? ) belongs to Donovan ... and Dylan took it from his hands ... what a bandit

[@SwinginPig]

Haha, looks like it in the film. Actually, this is Dylan's guitar. He played it at all his concerts in 1964-1966. Might look different because of the lighting. It's a 1920s Gibson Nick Lucas Special. Beautiful works of art. They go for upwards of 30 thousand dollars nowadays.

[@jaketad939]

@@SwinginPig I heard it was a 1930s nick lucas since it's a 13 fret. I think they only made the 13 fret guitars in the 30s.

Dylan was playing to Donovan. Think about that

[@raymond5001]

No expert here but Dylan appears to be more entranced by Donovan's playing bass and strum so eloquently yes Dylan's bravado is magnificent with his strum but what I get os that Donovan is just soaking it all in which is the vibe from everyone sitting there just my point of view.
