Isle of Wight 1969

Bob Dylan (with Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko next to him) answers questions at a press conference.

[@MsGronkh]

love this dylan period! thanks for the video.

[@theodoreconstantini2548]

Dylan's wardrobe seems to have through many distinct phases just like his music.

[@MattHamann89]

Wow he almost has a southern accent here. That whole period from Nashville skyline where his singing voice changed noticeably on the record even translated to his normal speaking voice. Knowing Dylan it’s probably all an act

[@kathylarson8876]

I don't think of it as a act so much as just different personas to keep from being bored, I believe he had to keep moving/changing to keep his mind active, people with that amount of artistry are more actively creative,

[@MattHamann89]

@@kathylarson8876 whatever it is it’s awesome. I love this period of his career. And he seems very laid back in this interview and just in general at this time

[@DanFrechette]

I think he was probably just not on any stimulants.

[@tallesttreeintheforest]

i would have loved to hear the woodstock crowd cheer for dylans comeback a week earlier

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

Man, after all those years the British press still didn't get it. He's there to entertain and anything he has to say is going to be said in his lyrics. He isn't there to talk about his personal life. Why not ask him about the music or what it feels like getting back out there? If he had any of the answers these people were looking for, he certainly wasn't going to share them and he was quite clear about that by this point in time. Anyway, great concert and I'm glad this interview exists despite it being kind of frustrating.

Always Mercurial.

Genius

A picture would be better.

[@philovance1940]

Huge Dylan fan for decades but I don’t get the accent. He’s from Minnesota folks from that state don’t talk like that. I know I lived there for 4 years.

[@insomniatique4214]

It's from Johnny Cash. Pretty ridiculous to me. But another chapter in the epic poem entitled Bob Dylan.

[@bikerguy5829]

I'll of Wight was in 1970 genuis

[@paschkefan]

No, Bob and The Band played in 1969. And it’s Isle not I’ll.

ISLE of Wight took place, August/September 1969

[@marguskiis7711]

Dylan seems intoxicated.

[@Charlito732]

Really?, i think he looked intoxicated in the 66 tour around England. Here seems to looked the complete opossite. Cheers.

[@maksimilijan5029]

he was deep into heroin around this period, unlike the 66 tour where he was doing mostly weed and amphetamines. (and some occasional red wine) he was thin and wirely. he's way chunkier and less creative during this period. heroin lowers your blood sugar which makes you sluggish and you eat more, having a family probably played a role somewhat in changing his image a bit.

[@MrSf66]

@@maksimilijan5029 If Dylan had a "heroin phase" it likely ended with his July 1966 motorcycle crash. He seems a bit sedated here but hardly out of his head.

IOW festival over Woodstock where he had lived: possibly the most perplexing, idiotic choice ever made by a genius.

[@Newfoundlander1916]

Do you think Dylan gives a fuck?
