- This is a very special upload. This was recorded on December 8, 1975, the final night of the first leg of the Rolling Thunder Revue. The next tour date was January 22, 1976.
Although the audio is from Madison Square Garden, the footage was taken at a concert from four days earlier (December 8) at the Montreal Forum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Montreal version is, in my opinion, a better one, but is blocked from CZcams for copyright. If you'd like to hear that version, check out my Rolling Thunder "documentary" on Vimeo: vimeo.com/376499609. Spent months working on that only to find I couldn't upload it here. But I was happy to finally find a version that is not copyrighted and dub it to this amazing footage. I then stitched together clips from the films "Renaldo & Clara" and "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese" to fill gaps in the footage.
Love & Peace,

How sad I am! I have become deaf and I will not be able to listen to this song anymore! Thank you to my memory who kept the rhythm and the voice of Bob Dylan
"The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more" (William Wordsworth - The Solitary Reaper).
Bob Dylan has left his mark on this world. Praise God for Bob Dylan.
You know th songs :
singem yourself to yourself
or loudly out-loud;
good luck & godspeed
I hope and Pray your memory of all musical blessings that you did hear,,, remain till you hear the roll Called Up Yonder and you will surely be there.
Are birds truly free of the chains of the skyway.....
Desire is a masterpiece of an album, and Scarlet Rivera made that happen, her violin takes it to the next level.
So amazing she is. How bob dylan discovered her is a amazing story in itself.
Amen!
Simply the best artist to ever walk the earth
Bob stands alone
The Bard of the 20the Century.
So true buddy an absolute genius a real special talent, there will never be anyone like Bob Dylan :)
And what a lonely place it must have been at times.
Beautifully put
Not to be a party pooper, but he wasn’t the greatest performer and greatest musician, but the man clearly can craft great lyrics and perform them, in a deeply personal, honest way
This song was the inspiration for calling my only daughter Sara !!!
Heart wrenching performance. I love the way Bob uses the imagery of the beach to show the time lapse of memories and desolation of their break up
Ooof that gets me every time! It makes me so sad, talking about the children and then the beach being deserted. Art at it’s absolute finest to evoke such raw emotion.
I've never noticed it D:
Too right, and it's no surprise he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Amazing lyrics.
Rip your fuckin heart out and you come back for more. ✌️
I wish he included this verse in the studio version. Its so powerful
Sleeping in the woods, by your fire in the night
Where you fought for my soul and went up against the odds
I was too young to know that you were doing it right
And you did it with strength that belonged to the gods
So beautiful!
Amazingly powerful lyrics!! Only Bob Dylan... 😊
@@miguelraeder3005 yes
absolutely!
Me too amazing verse it is :)
My wife of 25 years is moving out; she’s leaving. Time after time I’ve heard “Sara” over 37 years of being a Dylan fan. But today, “Sara” blew open the doors to my heart and I can feel Bob Dylan’s agony singing through the song. Amazing how Dylan could put into music and lyrics exactly how he felt. As I write this, in my heart I feel so much love for Bob Dylan and Sara, and grief, which almost certainly follows Loss of any type.
25 years. That's tough man and it will be a huge adjustment. I'm 3.5 years out now. Grieving is a process and you will go through it. We never forget, but the pain does eventually subside. Hang in there*
It's really something when it happens. When I was 20 a girl I loved with all my heart left me...she just said to me to go away....she didn't want me any more after more than 3 years. May be it's not the same thing that happened to you but...I still feel the pain..and the grief. It's absurd , I know, because I'm 63 now. But that's the way it is. Someone said, talking about ex lovers, they are only slightly beneath one's consciousness by day and always behind closed lids in sleep. Be safe, be strong. A big Ciao! from Italy.
Hang in there - better to dive into a gut wrenching song than to throw oneself into drinking and drugs and other self-harm - This too shall pass
i ve just read your message my heart goes to you jorge love will never be vanquished love
When your name is Sara, and you love the way Bob Dylan says Sara 🧡
I would think so.
I know so man ;)
Same. Melts your heart!
That's the pronunciation of Sarah that means you're too late coming home to dinner, in my recollection. You opened all the bandaids in the box and left them scattered on the floor.
Jesus christ what a performance... I hope this kind of thing never gets lost to time or deleted from CZcams. That's gotta be my biggest fear in the world.
Jesus Christ was definitely involved in this! I'm not even religious lol
That’s a high class fear
Hopefully it’s been added to the Library of Congress
L I L I T H !!! W H Y !! - OVID
I have to add to this sentiment. I’ve been a music lover my whole life, I’m 33. When I was in the first grade my dad I first played Deja Vu by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. I fell in love so much with that album that as a 7 year old I had a LEGIT NIGHTMARE that I’d never be able to hear the song Our House of that album ever again. I too think my biggest fear is losing all the wonderful music.
'So easy to look at, so hard to define' :) xxx
Back to a time when a song could actually move and unsettle your emotions. There are not many true living legends but Dylan is certainly one of them.
There must be some now?
@@MrThedonhead there are. they’re just under appreciated or people don’t like the way it sounds. i personally im more of an old fashioned person when it comes to music, but i think it’s foolish to think there are no good musicians these days.
@@anam1097 maybe 1 or 2 but compared to back then hell no there are no good musicians at least anywhere near as good as 60's-90's
@@loganm15 i think that’s a pretentious and close-minded way of thinking. but if that’s your opinion then great! good for you!
@@anam1097 well try and prove me wrong
Every time I listen to "Sara" Im flabbergasted. I consider it one of the best love songs ever.❤ This footage is almost surreal
I saw him a couple weeks before this show in new haven. I thought his singing on this song was absolutely stunning. I still do.
I eas at New Haven Show too. Met a guy in a top hat who gave me his ticket.
Thanks if you're out there
The jealousy is real over here.
Sara was the love of Bob's wife. She was the first woman who never tried to impress or keep up with him. She's still alive and still beautiful.
And so dignified. She has got on with her life, never made anything publicly out of having been his wife, not aired their linen in public in any way. I hope she's doing well.
Wow, hypnotic and emotional masterpiece ! the girl crying summed it up .
Looked for a live recording of this song so many times and couldn’t ever find one. So thankful for this.
its on the album i believe
Netflix, rolling thunder review ,live!
Bootleg Series 5. it’s on that!
Love dylan
The best
The footage is amazing thank you, the girl crying sums up the power of emotion in Dylans song's. My favourite Dylan period
Brilliant comment.
the floowers and the hat :)
Yes, so true, and she loves Bob and DID NOT WANT IT TO END.
@@terjemork112 so
@@marynelson3067
How come it to end up with Sara?
I’m crying now just watching this video 46 years later so I can definitely relate to that girl at the end of the video.
This song is a timeless gem. Hats off.
I'm not sure how he can get through this song without breaking down in tears... 😥 Doubt there was a dry eye in the house 🙏
I get that. But I think they were still married at this time, weren't they?
@@LaylaSimsthought they divorced in 77. Could be wrong, though.
@@nolanwolfe If it was in 1977 & this was recorded in 1975, they were still married at this time. Doesn't mean he didn't know what might happen in a year or so. 😃
@@LaylaSims I’d assume he would know, considering it was his marriage. You can also hear him hinting at a troubling Marriage in his lyrics on Blood On The Tracks and Desire. You’re right, I believe they had a rocky marriage at the end there
One of the MOST beautiful songs ever written or sung by u bob dylan …
Oh Bobby tu as vraiment été blessé et le violon te tue et je comprends très bien que tu sois parti en pèlerinage aux Saintes Maries de la Mer pour voir Sara et t'asseoir autour du feu de camp avec Manitas de Plata.
Merci beaucoup d'avoir téléchargé ce superbe fragment et la musique. Cela a dû être l’une des périodes les plus difficiles pour Bob. C'est très bien de pouvoir s'exprimer encore et encore en tant qu'artiste et de pouvoir faire face à la perte du grand amour de sa vie.
sara is in my top ten dylan songs i love it
True. A great song! 😊hard for me to find a way to make a order of bobs songs .early stuff is lovely!
For sure .the things he broke out at Newport electric! Yes. The rolling thunder my fav!! 😅. And then kicks my as with it’s not dark yet!
This man has given us more than any other person ever.
I had trance watching this. What an artist.
Man I've been a dylan fan for around 15 years and just hearing this in the car it hit me hard. Raw wistful power
Beautiful..Just Beautiful, so hard to Sara crying at the end . She was ( is ) truly the love of Bobs life .
I saw Bob sing this and several other yet-unreleased new songs that would appear on his Desire album, at his second Rolling Thunder performance, Nov 2, 1975, Lowell MA. Blew me away. Best, and most historically important concert I ever went to.
I was there Astrodome
I saw Rolling Thunder at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, around that time. First of two shows on successive nights. Unbelievable concert!! 😂😘🤙🎶❤️✨️🕊
Rolling Thunder Revue was some of the best footage of Bob in my opinion among many great others too!
Favorite performance of this soulful mourn during a favorite iteration of this genius.
I can even begin to count the levels of excellence in this short and incredibly poignant piece.
In essence, a man keening for his woman even though she isn't dead. Wow
I love this song. I know he doesn't sing it anymore. Very painful time you can feel it.
No words to say. Just wonderful
Bravo!!! The imagery of this video is mesmerizing. Sara knew exactly what she was doing. What a MASTERPIECE. Encore, Encore!!!
Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you son of David.
I was there. 5th row center.
Bought ticket from some very nice girls on the train on my way to the show.
If you're out there Thank You for the best concert of my life. 😃
This is really good, please continue doing ehat you are doing
I was there,,,,, so lucky
Wow! That would be my dream!
truly beautiful song
I loved him as a kid and now so great OMG
Q grandeza bob lo simple lo haces hermoso !!
One truly great love songs
Astonishing song , performance , and footage . Thank you ✌️☮️
Jesus Christ, Bob Dylan is the most courageous lover of truth, lover of Gods, lover of humanity, I have ever had the pleasure of listening to and seeing several times in concert.
So naturally, we lovers recognize his Empathic compassion. We appreciate his dignified genius and unchanging integrity. He is a great human guardian. He led the way by example; by faithfully steadfastly personally Serving The Everlasting Cause of Virtue.
Bob helped strengthen my resolve to maintain my faith in the Gods - our kinsmen and colleagues, to trust myself in rejecting the "ethical relativism" forced en mass on the public in ivory tower academics far removed from real life outside those walls.
I love, appreciate, admire and revere Bob's feeling genius mind. His steady manifest strength of character, his persistence in following his own Divine Voice within, sets a great example for all lost children - like I myself was decades ago; lost in a big way and without any memories of my childhood and then my adulthood. I was saved from this awful amnesia plaguing me for much of my life. Bob certainly aided my walk along the Mystyk Initiation Path (oldest Western Spiritual Path forgotten.
I feel grateful Bob trusted himself and did not go into the surgical profession. All best wishes to Bob.
🌹🌹 🌹🌹
@Dragonstaye This is one of the loveliest and clearest descriptions of Bob’s work that I have read. I have loved Bob for 54 years, have seen 86 of his concerts so far, have met him four times. I have been enraptured by his magnificence from day one. You express so beautifully the majestic expanse of his art. I relate to the memory issues you speak of.
Poignant!
I love the song, SARA. Truly beautiful.
Sad for the girl who was crying. To much sadness when breakups happen. Maybe Dylans wife Sara returned after their divorce and the fans didn't know and all turned out well. A great song it is.
What a great song , beautiful words his voice cries out with his love for her
Love this song. A great performance here. Cheers!
I love, love this song. It’s so beautiful.🌺🌻🦋💐💕🌸🌼🌹🌷🎶🌿🌞🌓🍓🦋💐
Thank you 𝕊𝕨𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕚𝕟' 𓃟 I have never seen this footage before! So gripping, and the ending!💙
Just had to listen to this Jewel cuz this is my younger sister's name!! I can still remember that day when my mom was pregnant and pleading to name my sister Sarah...
One of my all time favorite Dylan songs
I had never seen the full version of this video. I especially liked the end when the young girl is crying and Dylan lays down to rest. Good concert, his voice was going so it must have been a long one. Thanks for another great upload Piggie!
Never seen this footage before, thanks for posting it,it's incredible,I love the Desire album, and the Bootleg series vol.5 Live 1975, the Rolling Thunder Revue,he was really in touch with his muse on that Rolling Thunder Revue,a true genius ✌️
Lyrics:::::::::::////
I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach.
Sara, Sara
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
Sara, Sara
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand
They run to the water their buckets to fill.
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill.
Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, a mystical wife.
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night
Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal bar
Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.
Sara, Sara
It's all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.
Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel we're never apart.
Sara, oh Sara
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
How did I meet you? I don't know.
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm.
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm.
Sara, oh Sara
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Sara, Sara
Ya must forgive me my unworthiness.
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore.
You always responded when I needed your help
You gave me a map and a key to your door.
Sara, oh Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, oh Sara
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.

Mein geliebter Bobby, das ist wirklich ein wunderschönes Video! Schon für dieses Video und dieses Lied würde ich Dich lieben!
man, your editing never disappoints, this is beautiful. thank you!!
SARA WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AS I WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNG BOB HONEY I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU
That’s really sad, Rashad, especially when music is such an intrinsic part of our lives. 😟😥 stay strong and I hope your memories will continue to sustain you. 🌈
You’re the best CZcams Dylan video poster! Much better than some other Dylan posters - especially better than rude, impolite, aggressive posters.
'Beautiful lady so dear to my heart' :) xxx says it all
This is fantastic, thank you.
I was always mesmerized by this lovely song ever since I heard it on the radio when I was quite young...Thanks for uploading this gem...
This is gold! Thanks.
Brilliantly done...wow👏👏👏 Thank you once again SP
Very special stuff, thank you! This is definitely inspiring for my new solo music project UV 🙏🏻
Bob Dylan a world treasure a galactic treasure for sure!
A beautiful song .. in 3/4 waltz tempo.
Who wouldn't wanna dance to this ?
A haunting journey with each word that passes, one of my favourites...
Thanks for sharing this classic video and performacne! "Radiant jewel, mystical wife" B.Dylan
Stunning! Thank You!
She really was beautiful
She's still alive. She's 81 now.
Nobody would ever really know what their marriage was like. If only they could've made it through...as a couple Bob and Sara had something rare and beautiful. Yes...if only...
Great job of editing. The performance itself is also great.
Thank you this is amazing!
"I was too young to know you were doing it right."
My favorite period of Bob's career - he had a great voice then and the emotions of his failed marriage - listeners can almost feel his pain. "Spanish is the Loving Tongue" is an uplifting favorite from the same tour. The video of him with Joan Baez is beautiful and touching. Looked like he was trying to renew their relationship. I don't know the timeline for when she wrote "Diamonds and Rust", if was after the Rolling Thunder Revue. Did read that when on Rolling Thunder Revue in Europe, Bob had a falling out again with Joan, after which she left the tour. Joan's performance of her song "Diamonds and Rust" is one of my favorites on CZcams, and her singing "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" with photos of hers and Bob's life history is a favorite also.
@Jill Schoenfeld White Joan Baez wrote Diamonds and Rust in November 1974 and it came out on the album in April 1975. The Rolling Thunder tour was October 30, 1975 to May 25, 1976.
@@marynelson3067 Thanks so much for clarifying. Such complicated emotions between the greatest solo male and female folk singers of our time.
Es ist wunderbar, dass Du mich nie vergessen hast! DANKE! Das hat mich ganz sicher während meines langen, langen Weges gestärkt! Obwohl es mir nicht bewusst war!
SARA WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
So wonderful thank you
Amazing channel. Thank you.
Thank you, oh my God, the version with almost strip of Joan Baez , thanks so much for sharing!
Moving my soul
Absolutely gorgeous.
Pig you’ve done it again thanks for all the videos man
Swingin' Pig, First time for this great footage.Told you in the first video i seen of yours a few minutes ago ,that Dylan was a genius.Glad i get to watch this video any time.Good job man....
How can one hope to love one'wife with one's whole self if one leaves a piece of himself on the road? This song, this sound is beautiful but painful too because there is love and pain behind.
This song it's getting too painful to listen to.. Especially after I knew that he, soon after the early days full of love in that Portugal of the song, where he conceived his first son, he wanted already to have fun with other women. The pain of this song it is the regret only, for a Madonna placed alone on pedestal.
the silent ending of the film is great
thank youuuuuuuuuu
Thank you ~ keep it going
Melancholy bliss!
I was at there in 1976 Madison Square Garden . Desire was my favourite album . Still have the old vinyl.
Gute Nacht, mein überaus geliebter Bobby! Alles wird gut - Deine Sara ist für Dich da! Schlaf gut!
Não entendo nada em inglês. Mas Dylan tem uma voz universal. Depois vejo a tradução, e as letras exprimem, quase sempre, tudo aquele que está em sua voz
Michael McLoughlin
This is fantastic, I was at one of the N.Y.C. shows-I'll never forget it.
Magnifique vidéo, bravo ! Et avec Dylan à ce niveau, il fallait le faire. Voilà le poète chantant une chanson d'amour. Une de ses plus belles, et il s'y connaît, le bougre. Mais là, c'est vraiment pour de bon, à mon avis...Bob est habité, Sara sera toujours là.
5:18 What a heartfelt reaction. Good for her.
I watched Bob play this in 1995 Newcastle Arena, wow
Gute Nacht, geliebtes süßes Bobbylein! Bis morgen, schlaf gut!!
don't ever leave me , don't ever go...
Only ever been outside Madison Square with a big bloody suitcase. Hanging about waiting to get a train nearby to Canada. October 2013. Saw Bob end of following month in Royal Albert Hall in London. Tempest tour.
Swingin'🐷. You did it again😍
RTR anything creates shivers . This is s year later..Scarlett's violin pitted against the slight hoarseness in Bob's voice is great .
