Bob Dylan Performs "Forever Young" | David Letterman

[@mmocpi]

I can listen to this on endless replay. Such a great performance, especially the Willie Nelson style guitar. I like how Bob acknowledges Paul on organ at the end there. Awesome!

[@dongiller]

Fun fact: Number of times Dylan performed on Dave’s Late Night and Late Show: 4. Number of times Dylan performed on The Tonight Show: 0.

@ Bob's entire life is a performance in and of itself 👅

[@sm0ki]

I checked, fam. Bob is still alive! 😅

[@markstevens1729]

Thanks! They've created this monster at the Letterman channel. Posting upon death.

Thank jeebus... we only have 2 Wilbuys left

Great Bob Dylan giving us One of his treats! Thank you so much!❤❤

[@DriftwoodBeachMom]

I finally got to see Bob in person.....so glad I did. xo.

[@KungEMuller]

Bob Dylan is legendary.

[@tjccaute]

Need high quality version of Dylan with the Plugz playing Jokerman in 1984.

[@karlmehltretter2677]

I second this.

[@GailBrum]

Thank you Dave.

[@scottzema3103]

My favorite song of his. Truly a remarkable human being.

[@rockturtleneck]

Such a great performance of an eternal classic by the master; this was when he did a series of shows at the Supper Club in NYC. It's telling that Dylan did several appearances on Dave's shows over the years, and has steadfastly avoided Leno, Colbert, Kimmel, etc.

[@orbison]

He was Dave's next to last musical guest, so you definitely have a point.

[@orbison]

This must have been posted because of the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown which is still playing in theaters, and may end up landing some Oscar nominations.

[@Houz34]

Oscar Wins as well.

[@christophersegrave6331]

❤ May you always be courageous and stay forever young…

🎉Wonderful steel guitar 🎸 😍 ♥️

[@JamieThomas_Musician]

Wonderful, thanks Bob and Dave!

[@colorgreenband]

this solo is top notch

[@Orechaser]

utterly dilusional. you know that story where the emperor rides a horse thu the crowd and some actually believe hes wearing the magnificent cloak... well you are that fool

[@user-ss3ud7pp7f]

Man, these were good shows. The only reason I ever watched Letterman was to see Paul Schaefer‘s band and the fantastic artists they had on their night after night. It was awesome to watch.

[@JohnGaudielle-i5e]

One of his most profoundly beautiful songs ( and Joan Baez did the tune great justice also ).

[@pulo4310]

Bob and Dave togheter is ❤

[@Rob_Kates]

Nice steel guitar on this track.

[@HomerSimpson-xo8vw]

Freaking Awesome 👍👍

[@johnbabb_]

World Gone Wrong is underrated

[@markstevenson6635]

Everything is under rated.

[@redlight4740]

Totally agree...but to me they are all good...

[@georgelorimer6335]

We are living in the time of Bob Dylan 🙏🏾

[@teahilton]

Still hitting every note Caruso could and then some.

[@OskarWerner4ever]

His song ‘Idiot Wind’ is prescient and perfect for the clown cars that will be heading to the WH in a few weeks

[@lifeofthetheatre]

Nice hats

[@CasualSpud]

This channel REALLY needs a "no, they're not dead" warning... jeesh

[@zltinsf]

Wow, surprised how closely he stuck to the studio version from 20 years earlier. I actually mostly clicked to see how unrecognizable it would sound

[@TomWilliams-d4n]

he charged Rod a 50% royalty for his use of this song. Only Bob could do that...

[@Mark-r8n5x]

Please upload the 1984 performances

[@onelove1968]

Whenever you post a video about someone, I think they've died!

[@factormatt]

I thought the same lol

[@tigq1430]

Had to go check myself.

[@kz1000ps]

Yeah, he's 83, this one seriously made me stop and check the headlines. Kinda cruel, Letterman!

[@orbison]

Yeah, this has to be because of the Dylan biopic.

[@nostraa6125]

We all do too. The boomers are all getting old.

[@arthurlevine1840]

By this time he recalled Suze Rotolo as his old chick from the album cover.

[@fabrisoto]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@NoCountryforBadMovies]

Release the Supper Club tapes dammit!!!!

[@Somestuffgood]

💪💪💪

[@teahilton]

Sometime that day Bob was thinking about the Rebbe and his health.

[@37GT]

I don’t believe in Zimmerman

[@PiperbonesJ]

What a special performance! Was this near the end of DLs run on CBS or earlier? I seem to recall him playing the last week…a different tune.

[@JamieThomas_Musician]

different, this was late '93, he performed again for Dave's last week of shows

[@tennesseejermyn7705]

hey to the older crowd- i loved early bob, like free wheelin and highway 61, but this weird nasal thing he developed... yall really like it?

[@mantisbog]

Yes.

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

im only 31 but yes absolutely .

[@herbertwestmd6017]

Yes

[@markstevenson6635]

Not so much

[@esparka]

Nasal on this song is fine. Any way on this fine tune is fine…

[@mantisbog]

Robin, I was just going to send him a note…

[@fastkarr8256]

@OGRE_HATES_NERDS “Was? Not Was? Paul?”

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

@ yes i think that may be him but i dont know

[@MFLandry]

Tony Garnier on bass

[@doublelxp]

It's Tony Garnier. He's still with Bob.

[@NoCountryforBadMovies]

Tony Garnier

[@mannybravo237]

My deepest condolences✌🏼

[@RonGerstein]

NO BODY DIED

[@sarahfield54]

Bob is 83 and needs help standing. But he's forever young to me 💖

[@Theimbennn]

He can stand up just fine... what the hell are you on about lol

[@KelleneHubbard]

Yes. Bobby Zimmerman Dylan is Still Alive and Well ☺️. I know him ☺️. He is my Friend. Kellene Hubbard Harrison.

[@sarahfield54]

Tell us more

[@gregorio87]

Well, the first performance on Letterman in 84 was pretty awesome. This is sort of a caricature performance, ha. Gotta be honest.

[@MsChiefsfan-w4k]

The only way to understand a/bob Dylan song is to listen to someone else sing it.

[@letsif]

Give it a try Just make sure you're alone

[@MsChiefsfan-w4k]

@@letsif You can understand him?

[@Canada4Israel]

"Slow train" album was the best with dire straits backup

[@mrbannon0]

I didn't even know he was sick.

[@RonGerstein]

BOB DYLAN IS NOT SICK

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Hope he didn't suffer.😢

[@xgum]

when the beat is fire but then bob dylan starts singing

[@JEMGOLDEN]

Bob looks, sounds and dresses uncannily like my ancient Jewish granny Annie used to...Annie didn't choose to wear a Stetson hat nor go in for outlaw schtik nor schmutter..but much much better singer than Bob!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Oh yah that guy from the Wilbury's I thought he sounded familiar. But for a moment I though this was Seeger's Against the Wind. 😐

[@WSS_the_OG]

But ... he didn't die. I'm confused.

[@DS-182]

There's a movie about him coming out...

[@timinwsac]

So, how many people, after seeing the title, checked to see if Dylan had died?

[@5454randy]

Oh my gosh, I can't believe he died after this video was posted

[@christinereeves7071]

He did not die

[@dgb711]

Weird voice. Never have seen the appeal.

[@NoCountryforBadMovies]

Nobody is perfect

[@matthewkuhn2465]

You simply don't get it. Bob Dylan forever changed the writing of songs. The subject that songwriters would address in lyrics was forever changed by Bob. The meaning of what a song "is" was the never the same after his first few albums. Think of the lyrics of your favorite modern songwriters. Well, Dylan made this possible, and they could not have imagined writing their songs unless Dylan paved a path for them.

[@dgb711]

@ appreciate the insights, but there is a difference between recognizing an impact and enjoying the music of the artist himself.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

R.I.P. Bob.

[@NoCountryforBadMovies]

He ain’t dead tho

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]
