Bob Dylan jamming with Robbie Robertson with some new songs at North British Station Hotel, Glasgow on a day off between concerts, 18th May 1966. Read all about it in JUDAS! by Clinton Heylin www.route-online.com/all-books...
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 )
i get a lot of funny looks when i say '60s Bob Dylan is my celebrity crush, but if i get the chance i'll direct those confused people to this clip. that inexplicable charm he had back then really comes through here :)
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 😅
01. (0'00) What kind of friend is this? 02. (2'14) I can't leave her behind 03. (3'44) If i was a king 04. (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"
I was never a big fan of Dylan's singing, but love his lyrics. However, I was always a huge fan of Robbie Robertson and The Band. I like Dylan here playing and singing with Robbie.
I'm amazed. I never thought this footage existed. Looks like they were stood out in Georges Square when there was some type of protest or speaking. It looked natural for them. Good stuff.
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.
This is a great edit. If I Was King sounds like a different audio source and there's no footage of the performance here so probably from a different day. The bootleg series 12 lists it as May 12.
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!

Do you have information in regards to the scene in “Eat The Document” where Bob and Johnny Cash sing a duet of “I still miss someone”? I’ve been trying to find out where it was filmed (location and date) any help I would really appreciate it!
The willy wonka of music! And has always kindly let us play inside the chocolate factory!,and the glass elevator for that matter. P.s. light is the heart of the kind. I said that
@@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.
