Bob Dylan & Stevie Wonder - 1984

February 28, 1984 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California

[@MrThermostatic]

Bob seemed THRILLED to be part of Stevie's 'lets have them decide' routine...When they first walked out, you can hear Bob say to Stevie, "they're all standing up for you". Really sweet things to say.☺

[@jansmithhogan6715]

I think Bob is uncomfortable in the limelight...

[@user-ty6do8yz4l]

I was 14 , life was great, and a lot of people I loved were still here.

[@paulhaffern4734]

As a long standing Dylan fan, it is often said that his dry sense of humour is fantastic. Two of the giants on stage.

[@levanabrzeni]

2 Americans who shook the world. The first introvert and another extrovert

[@codydavidyates72]

N everybody on come, which was fine then a days

[@codydavidyates72]

Coke* a cola

[@razorback9926]

Talk about star power. The best part of winning would be meeting Bob and Stevie.

[@levanabrzeni]

Exactly. The winner would tell people that received the award from two of the greatest

[@raininthecup]

This was so epic. Look at that audience, those people, greatness.

[@SimonRobeyns]

The real greatness was in front of them

[@synysterjazmyngates]

This is music royalty standing together. So cool.

[@ladyvader2648]

Fuck yeah standing ovation! Love these 2.

[@johnbland714]

bob outshines every star in the Universe....especially the manufactured ones...you all know who they are!!!1

[@krisscanlon4051]

Bob apparently has a great sense of humor regardless of this clip...two living legends right there wow

[@darinjames3313]

Thats a very dynamic duo......They were all so young...and we still got these 2 so we're lucky....Sting too!

[@davidbull7210]

Talkin' Really Don't Wanna Be Here at All Blues

[@swordfish52]

Good One David !!

[@ironflazambat5815]

Lmao

[@colinwilliams553]

BOB DYLAN, STEVIE WONDER the dynamic duo!!

[@Klassenbruno]

And John Denver

[@FolhetoGrena]

Yes, I'm on my Kanye shit tonight: MICHAEL HAD ONE OF THE BEST SONGS + VIDEOS OF ALL TIME... OF ALL, TIME!

[@kenm6065]

Michael actually won everything for Thriller the year before....this is the second year it was in rotation I think, which just underlines how big it was.

[@arlenroth8373]

I saw Stevie Wonder shoot pool in 1975 in L.A.!

[@gene.dig17]

yeah and I saw him at the shooting gallery in 1989

[@MauriceBrown-sd8ol]

My hero and idol Stevie Wonder aka THE God of ALL Music. !!!

[@jasondylansargent2195]

Dylan looking cool

[@daletydoodles3389]

Oh to have been able to sit at one of those chairs with all those true artists! They sure don't make them like they used to! Lionel Richie! I mean, come ON! 😍🤩😍🤩

[@Voodoochil111111]

Bob acting like an embarrassed teenager while his Dad tells bad jokes.

[@mrstambourinegirl397]

haha yes!

[@Guy-kr5en]

I know 😂

[@NathanielAhart]

The two greatest artists in history

[@curiousgeorge555]

Yeah, Mozart and Beethoven were second rate. smh

[@NathanielAhart]

@@curiousgeorge555 Excuse me, I meant contemporary pop artists. Didn’t think I had to specify.

[@curiousgeorge555]

@@NathanielAhart Agree, maybe THE greatest two artists ever in pop music.

[@levanabrzeni]

​​​​@@curiousgeorge555 They do are two of the most influential pop artists in history if we forsee the longevity of their career. As an artist Dylan achieved it all - His songs and activism changed the popular culture in USA in 70s and later received the Nobel prize in literature. On the other hand, Stevie reshaped the pop music in 70s, led the campaign of Turning MLK's birthday to the national holiday in 80s, was one of the leaders of Obama's presidential candidacy in 2000s

[@MauriceBrown-sd8ol]

My hero and idol " Stevie Wonder " THE God of ALL Music !!!

[@musicfanBRA]

Stevie Wonder is a real star, how he loves performing. Very entertaining.

[@vajraloka1]

Wow 2 greats and still young

[@zackzallie8735]

Many legends in this video. Wow.

[@GarySmith-hy3jk]

Fantastic

[@AnalogueGirlDigitalWorld]

I love how Stevie is wearing Kaba, traditional Eritrean/Ethiopian of the highlands

[@MrThermostatic]

Although he thinks he's wearing a Hassidic Rabbi outfit.

[@jespersorensen4462]

Back when talent got you to the podium - Not Lingerie Videos.

[@adandap]

Though Bob did one of those too.

[@jespersorensen4462]

@@adandap He, he - yep forgot about that. (I'm hoping his reasons might have been "tongue in cheek" though.)

[@davidholler1]

Finally the Acadamy called it right. Every Breath You Take was the strongest song hands down. 2nd Maniac.

[@adamguerrero5293]

hell nah

[@dannyvanzandtmusic]

This is a joke right? Should have been MJ or Lionel

[@danfate6862]

Bob ❤️❤️❤️

[@keesh9886]

Stevvvie😍

[@CptCrash21]

.....hmmm, I wonder why we don't see Bob presenting at more award shows.

[@mrjasondylan]

I'm absolutely shocked he agreed to do this he hates even recieving awards never mind presenting them he's not into the whole celebrity look at me thing he's actually pretty shy. He didn't even appear in person to receive his academy award or his Nobel prize 2 massive awards. Can only imagine it's because of his respect for Stevie Wonder that he agreed to this.

[@ArthurMgan]

“Let me look at that” - Stevie Wonder 😂

[@tommoranofficial]

Bob goes “they’re not standing up for me…” lol

[@Voodoochil111111]

“We’ve gotta do it the old fashioned way” aka the nicest way to tell Stevie Wonder to shut up.

[@mardybum6383]

Bob Dylan : .... Billie Jean... Michael....j.ackson Michael Jackson : what's wrong with that guy??

[@branthomas1621]

😂 why did he look so worried?

[@susannebass1883]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jokerman693]

Let me look at that let me see that

[@joanvega2177]

Michael Jackson’s like “what’s this guy on??”😭😭

[@sheldonkerr]

Bob's like "Why is Jackson's +1 a 10 year old boy?"

[@tomclifford1951]

Good god.

[@ajfrost3382]

Did they just smoke a big one backstage?

[@JumpJeho]

Bobby D always tries to play it cool. Stevie is always a goofball - that is before Trump got elected and he went all WOKE on us.

[@razorback9926]

@@JumpJeho Every normal person is “woke.” Not being woke means you hate black people. It has nothing to do with politics

[@billysikes1374]

Sting beating Michael Jackson is really unbelievable, and he doesn't show up lol

[@pistachoone1958]

Two of the greatest introducing crappy songs

[@owlbay4125]

strange paring, a guy who loves to have fun with a guy who hates to have fun

[@viviandarkbloom100]

Bob just doesn't like pretense. He has had enough "fun" for several lifetimes.

[@RLB52]

Stevie's card in Braille?

[@Johnconno]

Wow, is this from Bob's 'Blindness Period'?

[@simonsherratt1484]

I'm sure everyone thought Maniac was gona win

[@harrylazard805]

Wow, real music greats back then. What happened?

[@stormbringercoming8105]

One is blind, the other has the blind staggers.

[@exdoode]

what is Stevie wearing?

[@HandsomeCat-we2dq]

I always wondered why Dylan ever participated in these events. Did he have to?

[@alphajava761]

Stevie looks like he's wearing a napkin with a bowtie.

[@FOXYdotFILMS]

Lemme look lemme see that 😎😄😂

[@wendyanne5894]

It was obvious that would win.

[@MrJacobHart]

Uhm….how is Stevie reading the teleprompter? *X-Files music

[@roalziroalzi]

DYLAN IS NOT A CLOWN......THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE TOTAL JOKES

[@CrimeOfNecessity]

how the hell did sting win that?

[@srfy287]

I'm just worried what Michael must have been up to with little Webster after the show

[@ericbrufatto5371]

The winner is... the stalker's song! Bob: "number three, 'Billy Jean..." Lol!

[@totisantiago1]

The only category that Michael Jackson lost - and Sting is not even there -

[@vincentm4717]

One cant help noticing that Jackson desperately wanted to win. And on one of the most important nights of his life is spent with Emmanuel Lewis rather than a sexy date. 😅😅😅😅

[@codydavidyates72]

Let's play a game of: who's drunk and higher?

[@codydavidyates72]

"Holy fuck, they're cool"

[@jeffgoetz7919]

poor bob, lol

[@djstarr-lowery4047]

Seriously can't you imagine Bob's mom saying "Bobby straighten up an act right." See I can because my mom was Jewish

[@tomdale1313]

was "Jewish"?

[@user-ty6do8yz4l]

What is Dylan on? He’s as blind as Stevie!

[@srfy287]

All this mask wearing. It's like we have face tampons on.

[@steveconn]

A little late with that joke.

[@dfladd8383]

All Night Long should’ve won let’s be real

[@adamguerrero5293]

The white man beat out two black men and didn't even bother to show

[@stephenjones101]

Pathetic. Who dressed the great Stevie Wonder. Like a clown? And what the heck is Bob doing at this cheesy fiasco? Then they zoom on Michael Jackson, and he's sitting right next to a very little boy.... hmmmmmmmmmm. Major Cringe!

[@kenm6065]

That's Emmanuel Lewis "Webster" from TV.....swing and miss from another wannabe conspiracist.

[@gookymofo]

What Stevie is wearing is a Kaba, traditional Eritrean/Ethiopian of the highlands.

[@robertlepper5460]

You truly are a racist

[@kenm6065]

King of the 60s and King of the 70s
