Bob Dylan is my hero. He never gave up. People booed and hated him for playing rock instead of folk but he didn’t give a shit. He just kept on rocking and did what he wanted. He stayed true to himself. Where would we be culturally without this man?

[@kevinkeeney6693]

He was ahead of his time. People needed to catch-up with him.

[@bonscottrocks1728]

You know what? You're right. He did do it his way and it looks like it's working!

[@connerdearing]

That’s what I always thought was cool, he wasn’t a sellout like they said he just wanted a new sound he was obviously bored of the folk stuff for the time being and wanted to mix it up a little. Funny how they hated the change but would’ve complained that he was static in a couple years if he’d kept just playing acoustic. His “I’m gonna do what I want” attitude was just really respectable

[@peterzang]

Perfectly said. Bob has always known what he was doing

And right after that gorgeous acoustic set....And he picks THIS slamming rocker to loudly announce his arrival on the rock scene! He's so bloody great. 😎

I've never thought about that, but you're dead on! The fact that he'd choose the most "earth-quaking" song he can (who knows, he might've even written it just for that) shows his courageousness.

[@tomdale1313]

only my son can move you to say such things.Tell Me Momma is a song written by Bob Dylan and performed exclusively during his 1966 World Tour with the Band (then known as the Hawks). It was used to introduce the second half of a concert, when Dylan switched from an acoustic solo performance to an electric performance backed by a band. he first known performance of "Tell Me, Momma", was on February 5, 1966, at Westchester County Center, White Plains, New York. The performance was captured on tape by an audience member,[2] but not officially released until 2016. Dylan continued to perform this song throughout the 1966 tour, but, when he had finished, the song was not recorded on a studio album, nor was it ever performed again by Dylan in concert. 0l' black Bascom, don't break no mirrors Cold black water dog, make no tears You say you love me with what may be love Don't you remember makin' baby love? Got your steam drill built and you're lookin' for some kid To get it to work for you like your nine-pound hammer did But I know that you know that I know that you show Something is tearing up your mind. Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? Hey, John, come and get me some candy goods Shucks, it sure feels like it's in the woods Spend some time on your January trips You got tombstone moose up and your brave-yard whips If you're anxious to find out when your friendship's gonna end Come on, baby, I'm your friend! And I know that you know that I know that you show Something is tearing up your mind. Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time? Oh, we bone the editor, can't get read But his painted sled, instead it's a bed Yes, I see you on your window ledge But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge And, anyway, you're just gonna make people jump and roar Whatcha want to go and do that for? For I know that you know that I know that you know Something is tearing up your mind. Ah, tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, Tell me, momma, what is it? What's wrong with you this time?

[@briteness]

I have loved this music for 40 years. I remember listening to a cassette tape copy a friend made for me of the 1966 "Royal Albert Hall" show. The story of Dylan going electric has been told so many times it can get old, but when you hear the music again, and actually see the footage, which many of us never saw until relatively recent years, the genuine power of it does stand up. And I am pretty sure that giant American flag used as a backdrop was yet another provocation. It practically feels like a declaration of war! Did he ever use that flag at shows in America?

[@grahamgould2732]

I think he only used it in Europe and it was for the sole purpose of pissing everyone off

I sold bootlegs of this in the 70’s .. It is another even better rendition - It was claimed to be from Albert Hall , but turned out was from somewhere else nearby .. iirc.. I googled and seems there are either 2 different concerts , ( or one mislabeled one ?🤷🏻‍♂️) one called Albert Hall ‘66 , and/or Manchester ‘68 - the Manchester was the best ! Whether ‘66 or ‘68 . Clear ? 😉 “Dylan's May 17, 1966 live performance of the song was released in 1998 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert.[1] In 2016, all Dylan's recorded live performances of "Tell Me Momma" from 1966 were released in the 36-CD boxed set The 1966 Live Recordings, with the May 26, 1966 performance released separately on the album The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert.

In my opinion, I think he wrote this song specifically for this tour. It’s loud, it’s brash, it’s punk as hell and exactly the kind of song those anti electric idiots would hate. I think that’s why he never recorded the song in the studio. Especially since it was played after the acoustic set, this song comes hot and loud, which probably left those folk traditionalists speechless. This song rips🔥

[@anthonybaldini562]

Look at Danko's right hand in the new Once Were Brothers documentary (around the 28th minute)...is he using his fingers instead of a pick?! I'm a bassist trying to get a grasp on his playing during this tour, try to mimic it as best I can. If anyone can dig up some info on this that would be great. On a side note, there is an archive in Tulsa OK that is said to have many hours of footage of this tour. I understand that it's for academics and the like, but you think it's possible to be able to see any of this?

[@MonotoneCreeper]

At about 1:02 onwards in this video you can see a bit of his hand. It looks like he might be using his fingers to pluck strongly between the bridge and pickup covers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKudWSMmcalpNk In this video at 1:32 you can see him playing on what's probably the same base, with his fingers.

[@MonotoneCreeper]

Okay, replying to myself here. I think I was wrong, and Rick is actually playing with a pick. In the famous Judas performance at the end of No Direction Home, Danko is standing behind Bob and you can see him holding the pick. It's also one of the clearest examples of the tone of the bass.

[@anthonybaldini562]

@@MonotoneCreeper Interesting, good call on that one. Maybe it's cause he's playing so damn fast that it looks like his strum hand/fingers are doin the work. Pick makes more sense, plus it would've been louder.
