Love the ways George takes care of Bob.
And then there's Jagger there, he really didn't make many friends over the years. George was a people person, same with Ringo and Clapton, and Bob played with lots of people, too.
Szasaws@@vortexpilot50964❤is 2az, cffgf😂😂
Wilburys look after their own.
Bob looked confused and anxious as hell. There’s George, always around to save and hold it all together 🤍 I love them together. It’s so sad that George had to go so early, the world is missing him. It’ll be a sad, sad day when Bob’s time comes. 🥺
Don't even say it. Dylan gonna live forever.
Dylan is a communist when it wouldn’t hurt that bad.
我看到ELTON J0HN在裡面觀賞
Agreed indeed
Wouldn’t you be anxious as hell when all of the best musicians in the world were playin’ with you???????
George Harrison and Bob Dylan were truly good friends that went way back to 1964 and they created Rock's greatest supergroup with the Travelling Wilbury's.
I'd Have You Anytime. George & Bob- 1968.
There was more talent in that stage that day than what we have seen in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the last 20 years.
Great team
@@rockers7889 From now on History flying Bye ! Bye 🌇
Yes, despite Yoko's presence.
Best thing that Ever happened to George is when the Beatles broke up. Sure, they "made him famous" but all the jamming he dod with all the rockers after Made Him Happy❤
Yes, there was too much confusion
Best comment ever lol
+David Rigby Aw - FULL
+David Rigby LOL!
David Rigby - LOL And at 5:27, Mick Jagger seems to be thinking "There must be some kinda way outta here."
Haha
Always sounds like a good idea to get 40 rock stars on one stage...
Good Old George!
All that talent on one stage, remarkable.
George was a true legend as a person as well
It's a darn shame it's hard to hear George and Bob singing... that mic needed to be louder.
I tell you the stage was filled with starlight that night -- look at all the amazing musicians on the stage! BRAVO!!
Absolutely brilliant...this is what music is about...having some fun..
SO GREAT: always RINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lennon said he was the best in all of rock...could keep the steady beat alllll day long......
I watched Lennon say "the best drummer in the world? He wasn't even the best drummer in the band." One of his cruel riffs.
zardozyo John never said that, it's a mythZ
zardozyo You watched him? Funny, because he never said that.
Actually it was George who said that "Ringo was a naughty boy. He would never practice but he would always get behind his kit and play the rock steady all day long." (from an interview promoting Cloud Nine on BBC Television---clip later used as an excerpt in the George Harrison "Dark Horse Years" Box Set Bonus CD)
Thank goodness George Harrison was there to clue Dylan into what was happening there. Obviously Bob had nothing to do with the planning or execution of this performance...but it seemed like everyone else was in on it. Only George seemed to realize that Dylan was needing some guidance into the planned tribute that they had worked out with out consulting Dylan first.
Same thing happens in The Last Waltz! Bob turns up late, confused, so he just starts playing and gets away with it! That's his way, there is no understanding him!
+This Is Home! he is an eccentric genius who said himself he doesn't know where these lyrics and songs came from. Its the magic of being amazingly creative. You do not fit inside other peoples boxes.
They were best friends
It's a good thing he had lyrics, because he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket and not known for his instrument!!!
@@frankiebutler2894
His music was never about the instrument it was always about rhythm.
I would've loved to hear Harrison record a cover of All Along the Watchtower. He did an excellent job with "If Not for You" and "Abandoned Love"
And mama you've been on my mind
Bob once did a tolerable version of 'Something' in a jam with George.
way too crowded, too much confusion but lots of fun
@Bruno Jimmy more drunks than the pub on grand final day.
Harrison FAB.
I always thought that when me and a bunch of drunk mates get together and play and sing this that we were doing an awful job. according to this vid, it turns out that we are also some of the finest musicians in the world.
Never knew.
Jon Smith mate, Some one has over dubbed the music with a crappy guitar the rest is authentic, Pianos Drums, but the other part,, some bloke is having a laugh,,,,, Gib
haha.
lol wtf
@@11calman The old bloke playing the awful lead lines was Les Paul. He does play some really good bits, which George acknowledges, but ruins it by a lot of random twiddling like a teenager in a guitar shop. Well, at least he was roughly in the same key.
@@Ubu987 Wow mate didn't know that, I should be more respectful,,, Maybe say Hi czcams.com/video/SC4QNoFAAzo/video.html
That's probably the greatest collection of musical talent ever assemble
Les Paul. Wow. Best guitarist on the stage, hands down. And there's some serious talent up on that stage.
no one can enunciate and phrase words like dylan, his timing with the phrasing, the feeeel in the enunciation and the emphatic dynamics of the vocal. he is a pure natural. even with the changes in his voice as he gets older, compare his phrasing to George's when they first start
christmas just passed, and i had never listened to dylan's xmas album, Christmas in the Heart before, though it's been out for several years. i listened it to it, picking songs here and there rather than the whole playlist, and something about them, i connected with, even though i haven't been into xmas carols since i was a kid. He did his interpretation of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and i realized, as it was just kind of playing in the background, that although that song has played commercially most or all of my life, i never really heard most of the words before, but with Dylan singing them, they pulled me in and i heard them for the first time, and related to them. rock on dylan
Not even Dylan himself...
I bet Yoko was dying to get to the microphone for a good old scream.
Lol
Glad she didn't Lord Have Mercy
haha,
looks like when she appeared near the mic they all stopped playing,
Fuck her lol her voice is terrible for music. She's ruined so many songs she's appeared on ugh her name just makes me mad, gets me thinking of all the good music that could have been a mark in history had it not been for her dumbass
Razzlebathbone 4sure
someone lost their job as audio engineer lol
Recuerdos de la alhambra/ narco ypres
Yes, terrible sound on the vocals, a shame really.
Yea it's sad how bad they messed up the vocals and even some of the instruments. A real shame. We have some of the biggest legends ever and the engineering crew totally screwed it up
@@algeebop .. mlm
@@connieluera7858 Sorry Connie, I don't know what you mean.
Ringo rocking it as usual !!!!!! Love him.
I love how literally everyone is on stage and everyone is playing and they're all mulling about and it's extremely casual yet somehow all comes together
Yoko looks beautiful
Around 5.30 George plus his hand on les pauls shoulder. Priceless.
Yeah, that's a great moment! If Neil Young had been in on this chaos, it would be even weirder!
Not sure but I think Neil Young was there 4.47 point, towards back of the stage.
Yep.. playing to the drummer
Nice gesture but.. I think he was trying to get him to calm it down a bit !
So good to hear from George and Ringo they rocked and rolled over the years and love the music value
Two riders were approaching. Hail, Hail, Rock n Roll.
best part is here 2:38 ... "mah ha meha wa hee he wa huh a" love it
Cool. Didn't know Neil Young was at the ceremony. One of my fav dylan songs. What a night! Rest in peace Mary Wilson. So Mike Love didn't spoil the whole evening. Miss you George Harrison. Hari Krishna.
RINGO GREATEST DRUMMER.
How many rock geniuses are up there.
This is the first time I’ve really looked at all of this RxR Hall of Fame stuff closely since it happened ( mainly because I’ve been bedridden with this god awful Coronavirus). I get a real kick out of everyone being a critic! Of course you have every right to critique things after all everyone has an opinion.if I can let me try to clear up some misconceptions. I think I have a unique position in that I happened to the person in charge of the band gear on stage that night. Pairing up musicians with guitars, tuning up guitars etc.( does Jeff Beck get a 1950’s Fender Telecaster, does Dave Edmunds get a Gibson ES 335 - you get the point).in no way was the first couple of RxR Hall of Fames supposed to be for public consumption. They were not broadcast and the tapes were meant for the Hall of Fame archives only. The event took place at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel grand ballroom and was a sit down black tie. $1000 a plate dinner. and awards ceremony to raise money to construct the actual RxR Hall of Fame building.The point was to honor the great musicians from the early years of rock and roll who laid the foundation that got us to where we are today. Nobody came to the first few award dinners thinking they needed to or where going to perform for the public.They came to honor those that came before them have dinner get drunk and have a good time. Nowadays the RxR Hall of Fame ceremonies are completely different in that the bands being inducted practice for weeks before the show and bring their lighting designers and sound men with them so they don’t miss a cue. Back in the beginning it was more like a wedding reception where at the end of the night you got drunk and started stealing the microphone from the wedding band to sing and have fun.Of course it was chaos ! These absolute legendary musicians just wanted a chance to hang out with their legends. Bob Dylan told me being able to stand next to Little Richard was unbelievable for him. I remember standing between Billy Joel and Neil Young during all the confusion on stage and asking Neil’ you like this ?” And having Neil reply “ are you kidding this is the most fun I’ve had in years’. Our idols got to meet their idols! Poor Paul Shaffer was tasked to try and keep things orderly and he went down swinging only because everyone was too busy having fun and not worrying what they looked like. A strange concept in today’s socially conscious world. If I had a choice I would certainly take the former over the latter RxR Hall of Fame ceremonies. It was innocent it was fun and unfortunately those days are gone. Ed
That’s an amazing memory. You are beyond lucky to have been working on the show that night and to meet so many influential legends all at the same night. Definitely something I would remember forever, but I can only dream of it until perhaps one day they make a time machine and then I’ll get to experience these legacies first hand 😂
I hope you are recovering from the virus, as well. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you. We are losing so many people who’s time to go shouldn’t be for a long, long time from now. All because people don’t know how to stay inside and wash their hands... Anyways, amazing story and I hope you’re feeling better now.
@@LysLovesAlpacas it’s all showbiz.. what it is
What it is
Thank you. Hope you're feeling well now.
Ed! Thank you for explaining. It makes so much sense and it looked like a fun time for them. I was impressed how the band and esp the drummers kept it going through what looked like chaos. Hope you are all healed by now!
First time yo ever see this. Impressed to see Les Paul himself playing. Freaking awesome!
Is that Les Paul having a great play and a laugh with George? Wish we could hear them. Thanks for posting this hilarious historical document. Some one should use this picture for their Sgt Pepper cover album.
hahaha thanks for the laugh
amazing array of talent here...George Harrison/ Dylan....so so many...too many! lol.....our 60's generation......
and of course...all honor to hendrix who did wonders with this////who wrote it?? dylan????or hendrix???
congratulations!! bob nobel prize
5:23 that's the best part of this whole chaos 😍 miss you George ❤️
Never mind, genius at play, love the entire empathetic marvellousness.🙏🏽🙏🏽✊🏾✊🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️👴🏽
reminds me of some parties I been too
Please never let me go ❗I want to be here forever and ever ‼
It looks like an organised chaos. Thank you for recalling those old memories
George is telling Bob how to play his own song. Complete madness, just the way Bob likes it! Probably one of Bob’s
top five greatest songs (thank you, Jimi!) and his second most played song in concert - well over 1,000 times, accord-
ing to Bob-ologists.
They all looked pissed out of there heads this is fucking hysterical
absolutely right..this is priceless
Les Paul starts 'tearing it up' about 4 min in then, a few seconds later George notices and gives him a nod as everyone else looks on.
Jimi doing HIS version REALLY sound great now. Pull it up and listen for yourselves!!!!!!!!!
Wow..What stellar group. Thanks for posting this.
Great to see George ,Bob and ringo on stage together . It will be a sad day when Ringo goes to . He dosent get the recognition he deserves . He was a member of the Beatles as well . And has had some good solo stuff over the years . Let's not forget it dont come easy & photograph . RIP George Sydney Australia 29)11)2023
Oh my god what a band!!
truly entertaining...
all are good
The Caped Crusader, enigma soaked, tanks for sharing
This is ridiculously great! Thank you so much!🙌🤍
never saw these videos before! great stuff!!
Would be great if there was some plan for each one on that stage to put a bit into this great classic, Springsteen etc etc
Legendary. If only we could get them to think about doing a regular variety show on TV (a la Johnny Carson) before we lose them all. The stories they could tell would probably be epic!
What a gem !
que elegancia , super monumental este jam ademas el tema se presta viejo bob que temazo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no me canso de escucharlo
Thank you kind Sir.
Hard to believe our country has come to this. Let’s get back !
Mick looked lost without the Rolling Stones
absolutely!
I couldn't understand what Dilan was even singing? LOL. Had some great musicians in this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mick does look lost without the rest of the Rolling Stones with him! He looks like just another unpopular person in this.
He wasn't in the spotlight.
LotusFlower Flores hey mr tambourine man
Cool to see Little Richard, one of bob’s first influences, up there.
Which part?
@@osamabinladen824 Starting at 1:10, he is near the center of the shot. He has sunglasses and a bow tie (well I'm pretty sure it's him)
Wow, George Harrison really bailed out Dylan.
I've seen a lot of his performances....he really was not ready or able to do this one.
Oh man!
Puros genios maestros!leyendas
So much talent on one stage.
So much egos on stages.
Like this mysic and the message
Many legends, awesome!
Thank Mr.Dylan for your music anderen Words 👑
Ah, the 80's.
Imagine in the age of ProTools with every track recorded. The mix that could’ve happened after the fact.. regardless, an impossible bunch of cattle to herd at that moment....still fun to watch after all these years
This has got to me a mixer's nightmare. Nobody knows whos mic is up, nobody is where they said they would be, you can't see a thing, all the timing is random, and everyone is playing something..... still, a slice of history having everyone on one stage, no matter how crowded. Balagan, balagan balagan. Yet I like it. :)
There are two canonical versions of the song, Bob's and Jimi's, and both were being played by different contingents of the crowd present. They are different enough to clash rhythmically, resulting in musical chaos.
@@Ubu987 That would account for part of it, though you might expect them to rally around the original composer, who is standing right there in the middle. All in all, I would have loved to have been there, but this is one song, that as a sound mixer, I'm glad I wasn't part of. :)
The MHF got better at this over the years, maybe this recording is the reason why.
Don't take it too seriously. Cool to see so many amazing people together. Yeah the sound sucked. They weren't trying to make a masterpiece although I'm sure they would have loved it to turn out so. Just putting on a show the best they could with 100 people. Should have chosen a different song, but still would likely have been a train wreck.
weird who becomes a superstar etc...... well these 2 certainly did....../ misss great George!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like the greatest collection of rock star types around at the time that I've ever seen. Gallant effort by George to lead the way...but what did Dylan say/sing? Hilarious fun! InfoArtist JK
My inspiration 4 life ❤❤❤❤
esp. the Yoko comment, lol...i was thinking the same thing!
whomever doesnt really matter- belongs to all who have heard it
Que talento increíble!!
WOW
✌🏽🇺🇦
Paraphrasing Dylan's brain: "Wow, my idol Little Richard on stage with me and all these stars playing my song, what am I supposed to do now?"
If they each did an act......what a party you could have!!!
i love it...:)
Even though it wasn't a great performance. It stil sounded good and they were just having fun, all that matters
1:16 Keyboard player is like "someone start singing, put me out of the spotlight."
That's Elton John
@@zoahsalvador4716 Thought the same
I never knew that Elton John didn't like spotlight 😂🤣
George Harrison was a bigger host
This practice of getting over 30 headliners on stage at once may have begun with the "We Are The World" video. I mean, the father of Rock & Roll is on stage and he's not performing?!
Everyone onstage: "woo yeah, jam time! sweet!"
Bob: "what the heck is going on. for the love of- someonepleasehelpme"
So funny to George on acoustic & Bob on SG!
Yes, it was messy, but honestly, once upon a time, that was what rock n' roll -was-. And did anyone notice how utterly peeved Mick Jagger was to be shoved into the background? (serves him right)
Why does it serve him right?
Simply because Mick Jagger believes he is still the King of sumthing? Prissy bitch. Not to detract from what The Stones have always been, a most awesome rock and roll band. Just remember folks, "You Can't Always Get Want you Want." But just try sometimes, you'll find what you need....
I like the drum fills in ternary feel!
Jeez, they all look so young...
What an amazing piece of history, just total mess but so enjoyable!
2:20 Part of me wishes George just sang the whole thing but Bob's garbled mumblings sure did entertain me. 😂
How awesome could this have been if recorded properly! Sadly, it was only just great in terms of being a living equivalent of a Sergeant Pepper's album cover.
Perfect song lyrics for this group. But I had fun watching.
This is history
By 3.10 Dylan starts to enjoy it
bob always the best the serious etc and we all❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍 mister dylan
