Bob Dylan | Glasgow Hotel Room 1966

There's a year of it

[@georgeesau3943]

He was without a doubt so much ahead of anyone else on the planet in 1966, ( and that's coming from someone who fully appreciates what Lennon & McCartney , Brian Wilson and Paul Simon were doing at the time )

[@duophonic64]

The guitars, the hair, the wallpaper, wearied voices, 1966, the sunglasses, the cigarettes …. and these visions of Dylan have conquered my mind.

The early years looking at BOB Dylan is very special as it is today for me thanks he is just fantastic

I'm from Glasgow. Been in this hotel a few times whenever I could afford it while I was at Glasgow Uni. Not often. And just the bar. Got chucked out twice. I'm so proud that Bob recorded something in my hometown. And with Robbie. One day, I'll have dinner with Bobby, Robbie, Mandela, Ché, Buddha and Jesus Christ.

[@raindogred]

Love how Robbie quietly plays on and observes Bob. They had a great relationship it seems...mutual respect for each other.

Again...grateful to be alive the same time as this master....

On time in the late 1960s I was walking down Sunset Blvd in Hollywood CA with my brother. It was late at night and as we walked we passed by a narrow stairway leading down to a basement room with its door open. We went down the stairs and into the room where they were showing the movie "Don't look back." That night changed my life.

[@marieholland8868]

How ambitious and courageous of Bob to leave home so young and take his musical talents to the big city, New York. Then eventually exploded all over the World! Amazing 😅

[@LetArtsLive]

This is the only good freaking news I've had all day

He was gorgeous, he still looks great, saw him at the Outlaw Festival 8-10-24, my husband and my 2nd Dylan concert, he was great. I loved the movie Don’t Look Back, saw it as a teenager when it was re-released. Bobbie Baby will always be a Master of music and poetry, as George Harrison said in 1990, “Bob Dylan turns an impeccable phrase “. My husband and I say that quote from George all the time.

I remember first seeing this footage on a bootleg copy of "Eat the Document." Both songs on this clip are a testament to the singular conduit that Dylan had become. His brain was a lightning rod for ideas. Constantly spewing forth songs of the highest quality.

(6'11) On a rainy afternoon All songs were taped in a Glasgow hotelroom on May 19th 1966 according to Olaf Bjorner or on May 13th 1966 according the notes on "the Cutting Edge." Because Dylan had his Glasgow concert on May 19th, 2020, May 18th seems the most accurate date. All appeared on the Bootleg Series Vol. 12 "Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge". 1,2, and 4 appeared in the movie "Eat the Document"

Is this footage from "Eat The Document"? I believe so, I think I've seen it before. Dylan and his band-mates and entourage all wore the same style sunglasses in 1966. I guess they all wanted to look like their leader!

most of it is from "Eat the Document" but there's a part (and a song) that wasn't in the movie

He and Robertson have a symbiosis going on. I doubt much of that was rehearsed either; just deep comfort with another player; they complement each other so well.

@@Zepster77 He did,i it was not his fault they wasted their money on drugs. Especially Levon had trouble handling money, spend lavishly and then years later he writes a book and blames Robbie. Read Barney Hoskyns' biography of The Band, and Joe Forno Jr's "Levon's Man", and you will get a more balanced view. None of them were perfect, they were all talented, but they all had demons to chase, as Robbie wrote in his book, and the race was on. Robbie is not the villain.

@@Zepster77 You don't know the whole story. All the Band members made a lot of money, some couldn't hold on to it, drugs and bad money management for the most part. It is explained in Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band. None of them were perfect, but Robbie is not the villain many make him out to be. Besides when someone comments on his death it is best to keep refraining from making negative comments.
