I think Half-Wracked will enjoy this - it shows how Mr Dylan was respected and downright worshipped by other musicians of his era.
I think it's great, but I feel vaguely nauseous when I see Neil Young prancing around, soaking it up.
In his old age Neil Young really damaged his legacy with his deranged medical fascist outburst. Sad.

Hey Winston Smith - I just started watching this - but I’ll savor finishing it when I’m in the mood.
Coincidently, I started getting back into Dylan a couple of days ago to take my mind off Iran. I started listening to the audiobook by his first girlfriend Suze Rotolo. She was on the cover of his 1963 Freewheelin album, arm-in-arm with him. She passed away in 2011. Said he could be a shit at times, due to ego. But she and her friends accepted then that he was a genius.
The Clancy Brothers, that were featured in the start of this video you shared, were mentioned in her book. She & her “red diaper baby” friends used to listen to them in the now legendary Gerde’s Folk City music club in Greenwich Village, New York City when I was safely ensconced in a Catholic boarding school in New Zealand. But I do remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when word reverberated around the corridors of the school that our Catholic president JFK had been killed in action on Nov 12 1963.
Anyway thanks mate for sharing this YouTube vid that, as I said, I will enjoy watching when I get the right moment.
Meanwhile here’s a review of Suze Rotolo’s great & beautifully written memoir of her time with the young brilliant brat Bob.
Footnote: after reading Suze Rotolo’s memoir, I listened again to the songs on his 1963 album.
A question for you: was his mastery of the guitar anything special, or nothing out of the ordinary? Can you now emulate his 1963 guitar style in your own jamming sessions?

Critics At LargeWas interested in seeing Sinead O’Connor half way through the vid.
She was saying that, without Dylan’s music in her life at a dark time coping with her depression and bipolar condition she might not be alive today.
I remember in about 2007 during a time of untold grief I would play this song of hers over & over again because it expressed the emotion of grief and loss of a loved one so amazingly well.

SineadOConnorVEVOShe was a troubled person, stemming from early abuse at the hands of catholic nuns. Her son committed suicide, after which she converted to Islam and died herself not long after. Shakesperien level tragedy.
OMG - I just read the Wikipedia entry on her.
