Chris Robinson Recalls Bob Dylan Flipping Off the Rolling Stones

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

I didn't realize Chris was such a good impressionist. He nailed both Mick Jagger and Keif Richards with a single motion of the two. Hilarious.

[@drnick647]

Lost it at the end when “Keith says don’t be like that bob” hahaha

[@viviandarkbloom100]

Bob once said to Keith Richards, "I could've written Satisfaction, but you could never have written Desolation Row."

[@ozman9353]

So Bob didn't want to be "Like a Rolling Stone"

[@joelbizzell1386]

👏👏👏

[@averydaymond1560]

Chris does a great Keith and Mick impression during this. Both impressions are brief but he had their mannerisms down exactly, when he says Mick is going to save the day then gestures just like him and when he says Keith is like "don't be like that Bob".

[@L0r3n2]

Let's face it anything Bob Dylan does will always be freakin' cool especially cussin' out the Stones on stage.

[@braapbraaap5281]

He's the worst live performance you could ever hope to see.

[@roberthinkle5013]

I didn't hear him cuss out the Rolling Stones what the f*** is wrong with you

[@roberthinkle5013]

Like when he was sucking Brian Jones

[@RollingOrmond]

Senile old man

[@davisworth5114]

are you an idiot or do you just sound like one/

[@blachubear]

Only Dylan can get away with giving the finger to The Stones. The only other people that can get away with that is a Beatle.

[@Macca1000001]

Nah.

[@jeanlyons4367]

I can watch this over and over again

[@citizenbeeswax7985]

Bob dylan did give mad props to the stones saying he wished he could write a song like angie or wild horses. If dylan says he wished he could write something that u wrote, that's the ultimate compliment.

That was a low-key amazing Keith Richards impersonation at the end. Lol!

Was somewhere between Keith and jack sparrow lmao

[@charleshagan6277]

The millennial term "low key" is banned from any KZbin vids prior to 2020. "low key" can be removed any time it's used and the sentence is exactly the same bro. Now I gotta low key poop

[@wendymiller9284]

Dylan is Dylan - who knows what was going on- but I'm sure it had nothing to do with oufits!! That said- Jagger was a complete prince at the Desert Trip concert in California 2016, right after Bob won the Nobel - Bob was humble and modest ( and of course didn't say a word) and Mick was like, Ok- let's welcome Bob Dylan who just won the Nobel prize- what an honor- He was just so professional and truly happy for Bob- I believe all the rock stars have "their moments" of a- hole ness, but they all respect each other tremendously!

[@rememberingtruth]

[@Simbetam]

Bob Dylan has been basically flipping off anyone who sees him live for the past 20 years

[@thegreenknight2658]

LOL

[@amerocker]

40 years.

[@barques95]

You stole my comment. It was on my bucket list to see him live. He was so lethargic and uncaring about his performance, it was basically a game of "name that tune." Even "Like a Rolling Stone" was unrecognizable.

[@syourke3]

SIMBETAM ! Dylan is basically an asshole. Always has been. Treats people like shit and gets away with it because he’s a big star.

[@poopstain5216]

SIMBETAM ! Yep. Trash

[@hughsnyder891]

Dylan can be a jerk sometimes but he doesn’t care .

[@StuON22]

For those that don't get Dylan..... One day, for some strange reason , you will revisit his music and totally get what you missed ALL the other times...its like another door opens up in your mind,,,,so in closing --- IF you don't get Dylan , give it time you will grow mentally mature enough to understand. Happened to me.

[@riverrory6075]

Possibly one of the gayest fucking things I’ve ever read.

[@TehQSAclan]

implying that every single person on earth should love him, and those that don't lack some sort of mental maturity, is completely asinine. this is coming from a bob dylan fan

[@OttoErotic69]

So people that don't like Bob Dylan aren't mentally mature? He's not that deep, get over yourself.....and tbh he was the worst show I've ever seen hands down. He sat on a stool and just labored thru his songs like he didn't wanna be there. He was terrible

[@gabbyhayes1568]

StuON22 Even Bob doesn’t get Dylan. Ever see the 60 Minutes interview where he explains that he didn’t know where all his classics came from?

StuON22 oh please.. spare those of us who are intelligent to accept his entire career is hyped

[@stratmad]

The Mick and Keith gestures that Chris did were on point!

[@jimbrew3058]

Both Prince and Dylan were born in Minnesota. Both resisted the "norms" of the artist cliques. Maybe it's in the water.

[@blahblah606]

Agreed. Being from Minneapolis I can tell you. Here you make your own scene as one doesn't exist. There's actually a Prince song titled - Something in the Water (does not compute). I've traveled a lot and there's no place like Minneapolis.

Please Howard get Bob Dylan he would be one of the best guests ever

[@jorgejohnson451]

Michael Herrington No. He wouldn’t. Howard would have to change his shtick (and despite Howard’s protestations, he, too, has a “shtick”). Bob doesn’t play into that, which is why the Stones couldn’t corral him.

[@mysteryjesus]

Bob will never be on Stern. Howard makes fun of him everytime plus the way Jakob was treated on that Howard drinkathon Xmas thing years ago...it'll never happen.

[@davideats9255]

Bob has always been more of a rock n roll outlaw than any of the 'stones.

There's being an outlaw...and then there's just being a dick. Did Dylan even have a reason for this small child's tantrum?

Dylan did a car commercial for the Superbowl. There is no bigger corporate sellout than that.

[@hotconductor4749]

Dylan was likely having monitor (in-ear) issues during that show. If you can't hear yourself sing, especially in front of 80,000 people, you can't perform.

[@QajarCoffee]

I don't get why Dylan was upset. Was it because of the shirt?

[@aftstuff]

Bob exists on a different plane of awareness than most of us and some people recognize it. The Nobel Prize in Literature 2016 was awarded to Bob Dylan "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."

[@VanielDeeform]

Nels Arvidson Maybe, but just a shame he feels the need to be a cantankerous, moody brat like in that scenario

[@robertjameson2749]

This would be cool on Bob's part except that he agreed to go on stage, made the effort of matching Mick's wardrobe, stood at a designated microphone & basically fucked up. The cool thing would have been if he had attended, been called up unexpectedly and then given the finger. The story's funny because of the difference of the Stones "professionalism" at putting on a show & Dylan's "whatever" attitude; except that a lot of Dylan's attitude is to cover up shit he feel he can't do well; it seemed like he'd put a bit of time & effort into the collaboration until the point he couldn't pull it off.

Dylan's version of this event, was that he asked the Stones not to do a cover of his song while touring with him. The Stones ignored his request, and expected if they started playing L.A.R.S, Dylan would feel compelled to join in. Obviously Dylan much different.

[@mikelabomusic7782]

Who knows? Maybe Bob wanted it in a different key? Maybe he just didn’t want to sing the song. Bob is a mysterious dude.

[@mysteryjesus]

Dylan woulda been pissed because they weren't following his vocal and they don't improvise and don't jam anymore.

[@monkface]

He notoriously changes keys on songs, does a different arrangement all of a sudden or starts singing different words. I think he likes to keep things fresh and keep people on their toes and it's sort of a loose and free kind of thing. Which he's tried to be his whole life. A slightly eccentric, but real poet

[@sethklumb8686]

He was probably annoyed at pretty much being told how to perform his own song.

[@Andrew-rg7vc]

Id suggest Bob saw what Mick was wearing and copied to mock him, the outfit sounds very un Dylan like.

[@EvilEves1]

Those kinda stories are why I live live music shows!! Hahaha you NEVER know what you’re going to see!

[@zyrrhos]

I have a Chris Robinson story. I was at the Whiskey Bar in the Sunset Marquis many years ago with a friend when in walks Kate Hudson, Tara Reid, Chris Robinson and some other douchebag. The bar is fairly empty and they come and sit down right next to us. Tara Reid lights up a cigarette - forget the no smoking in bars law which had just passed, she didn't care, and the bar didn't dare ask a celebrity to obey it. The group was loud and obnoxious and to top it off the bar put on the Black Crowes, which I found amusing. My friend and I quietly got up and moved to the other side of the bar. The only one who noticed was...? Kate Hudson. She stood up and mouthed "I'm sorry" to us. Which I thought was rather lovely of her. The rest of them couldn't care less. My impression of Chris Robinson was that he was a self-absorbed narcissist with low awareness and consideration of others around him. Of course he may have changed since then.

[@Matasky2010]

Is this really a Chris Robinson story? You were at a bar right? Not like it was a quiet romantic restaurant...and you formed an opinion of him (and the other douchebag) right there while he was hanging with his friends at a bar!! Who cares?

[@spaceghost8995]

Robinson definitely was a tool as a younger man. IDK if he has changed or not. Hopefully yes.

[@paulmoser8872]

Prolly not. Chris loves him some Chris. The Black Crowes coming together is a big money grab.
