It's a talent that Dylan can play guitar with out a strap. That, friends, is difficult to do while standing.

It’s not that hard if you have a nice, well balanced guitar

"Oh the cavalry charged/ the indians fell/ The cavalry charged the indians died/ but the Country was young & God on its side/ A Nation built over a giant & hidden genocide! Bob Knows It very well . One of the turning point of the whole project called RTR! Another poignant & evocative flash from Scorsese outstanding mockumentary. Swingin' you're a young man/but your widsom & your artistic sensitivity don't stop to surprising me! Chapeau again! I Wish you & all the Bob listeners a very wonderful & Sunny weekend!👏✌️☀️🎼🌈🐞😎☺️⛱️🏊🎶🎸🍀🌅💓🤗

Peter La Farge, the author of The Ballad of Ira Hayes, was actually the first folk artist signed by John Hammond for Columbia about six months before he signed his "folly" Dylan.

[@Beatle-Byrd]

His minstrel playing is inspiring.

[@michelenodespairbear1268]

Thank you Swingin' Bob's performances are my favorite part of the RTR Story. He often starts a performance with a hesitation, getting mentally ready ? He did the same on The World of John Hammond performance. I'd love to see all parts of his interviews that were left on cutting room floor, I'm sure they're locked up safety somewhere !! Can you even imagine?? I can't 😉 Hope you're having a great Sunday. PS: Lovin' the album on Spotify ♡♡♡

[@mitchellucchino2078]

We let Ira down as a nation. The ballad explains it perfectly

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

Let's all; thank SCORCESE or we would never ever have seen this!! Bob lives in the NOW. he wasnt going to spend the time on his own to restore old film.

[@r3d3y3si]

Thank Paul goldsmith for filming it. This scene existed with or without Scorcese. He didn't do much except edit some outtakes from another movie together.

[@paulsavage5057]

If he lives in the now whiles he is constantly recycling and replaying his old songs at every concert and not releasing any new songs? He is almost 75 years old! Maybe, he is living in the past somewhat these days like most people in this era of social anxiety, hard times, and cultural apathy and despair. The footage of the song, "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" was probably part of the Renaldo and Clara film which was supposed to be a movie celebrating the Rolling Thunder Revue tour of 1975. Renaldo and Clara was never critically acclaimed since the film was four or five hours long and didn't have much of a plot or story, so not too many people ever watched it.

[@basilfomeen9995]

He just spent a lot of time making s*** up!

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

@@paulsavage5057 He is releasing NEW songs this month l0 of them, .as to playing old songs..he knows no one is buying a ticket for ONLY new songs.so he;s giving the people what they want or he isnt selling tickets. Plus he never sings a song exactly the same way...so it;s still NEW. He also keeps that in his head .how he played it before to reinvent it each lives how no on else can do that..

​@r3d3y3si is there extended recording of this performance? If so where?

I just got the heebee jeebees up and down my spine. Only three of Bobs works affect me deeply. In no paticular order(1) Ira Hayes (2) Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll (3) Emmitt Till

Reúnanse alrededor de ustedes y una historia que contaré Gather round you people and a story I will tell De un joven indio valiente que debes recordar bien About a brave young Indian you should remember well De la tribu de los indios Pima, una banda orgullosa y pacífica. From the tribe of Pima Indians, a proud and a peaceful band Cultivaron el valle de Phoenix en tierras de Arizona They farmed the Phoenix Valley in Arizona land Por sus zanjas durante mil años el agua con gas se precipitó Down their ditches for a thousand years the sparkling water rushed Hasta que el hombre blanco robó sus derechos de agua y el agua corriente calló 'Til the white man stole their water rights and the running water hushed Ahora la gente de Ira estaba hambrienta y sus granjas cuando los cultivos de malas hierbas Now Ira's folks were hungry and their farms when crops of weeds Pero cuando llegó la guerra, se ofreció como voluntario y se olvidó de la codicia del hombre blanco. But when war came he volunteers and forgot the white man's greed Arrancaron Iwo Jima Hill, 250 hombres They started up Iwo Jima Hill, 250 men Pero solo 27 vivieron para caminar de regreso por esa colina otra vez But only 27 lived to walk back down that hill again Y cuando terminó la lucha y la vieja gloria se levantó And when the fight was over and the old glory raised Uno de los hombres que la mantuvo en alto fue el indio Ira Hayes One of the men who held it high was the Indian Ira Hayes Llámalo, borracho Ira Hayes, ya no contesta Call him, drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Ni el indio bebedor de whisky ni el marino que fue a la guerra Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war

@@pauljudd9825 Good one! But sometimes a good deed never goes unpunished, does it? Perhaps, the person receiving the gift doesn't want a symbol of the military industrial complex to remind them of the horrors they experienced while serving their country. A medal isn't a very good reward for risking your life while politicians,' industry leaders,' CEOs,' and other powerful individuals' children let the poor do their dirty work and get rich off of the blood of others sacrifices as they go to college or live off of their family's wealth.

[@blackcrow7049]

Dylan probably didn't know the true story when he covered this song in The Basement Tapes sessions (Columbia released in '' Dylan '' 1973) if my memory not fail . The history was pure US goverment propaganda , although was true that some marines raised that flag , the famous photo was a fake , all began taking 6 marines days after finished the Iwo Jima's battle to take that photo . Three of them had never stepped on a battlefield . Peter La Farge was also an indian , adopted by a white family. He and Dylan met in the days of Greenwich Village. Johny Cash recorded his Bitter Tears álbum almost exclusively with Peter's songs . It's a good time to see Clint Eastwood's ''The flag of our fathers'' but I prefer the 1961 Der Aussenseiter (the outsider) with Tony Curtis .

[@paulsavage5057]

Have you ever heard of the U.S. Army's massacre and rape of Colorado Natives under the direction of Colonel Chivington in the late nineteenth century? This massacre precipitated a violent response by Native Americans against the American forces later at the Battle of Custer. The massacre and rape innocent women and killing Native American children in Colorado was really brutal and should be classified as a crime against Humanity but a lot of American history has been suppressed due to the controversial nature of the subject matter and is not deemed important enough to study.

[@basilfomeen9995]

You're right that they changed the facts of the photo for understandable patriotic propaganda, but Ira Hayes WAS in the photo AND on the battlefield.

[@Jesse-cx4si]

🤔 As fake as the deaths of thousands of marines on that island and elsewhere. Historical perspective through the lense of today’s culture.

[@raygooch]

www.edlis.org/hat "Wearing the Rolling Thunder Revue hat, The Thunderclap which is a flat-brimmed Stetson with a flat 'gambler style' crown, although more indented than the hat sported in the 2010s. It has been called a 'gaucho hat'." "There are similarities between the 1945 Marcel Carné movie ‘Les Enfants du Paradis’ (Children of Paradise) and the creative ideas of Bob Dylan during the Rolling Thunder Revue / Renaldo and Clara period. It is the character of Baptiste who is of most interest to Dylan fans. A mime who wears white face make-up, he also appears at one point wearing a pale wide-brimmed hat with flowers and a flowing scarf around his neck."
