Bob Dylan - The Times They Are a-Changin' [LIVE IN ENGLAND - 1965]

An appropriate song for the times (no pun intended). This footage was taken by DA Pennebaker for the documentary "Don't Look Back," but was not used in the final cut. The sound recording itself is from Sheffield (Apr. 30), the first concert of his eight-show England tour. The footage from Sheffield, however, was not complete, so I stitched together clips from three different shows, each with its own distinctive camera angle. The sources are listed below with their corresponding angles:

1. Sheffield, City Hall, Apr. 30 - Angle from the sharp right of Dylan; the main source of footage.
2. Leicester, De Montfort Hall, May 2 - Angle from the slight right of Dylan; only used to cover footage drop-outs at 0:19 and 1:05.
3. London, Royal Albert Hall, May 9 - Angle from behind Dylan (have to praise Pennebaker for this beautiful shot).

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. An acquaintance passed away last Monday from this horrible virus. I am angry, like many Americans right now. Whatever your political leaning is, PLEASE WEAR A MASK AND BE CAUTIOUS. I find it baffling how we've turned such things into political footballs.

But the most paramount thing will always be...

PEACE & LOVE,

"don't criticize what you can't understand"- the best part for me

A young master at work! The ONE and ONLY Bob Dylan! There is no substitute!

[nicolecuvillier]

j' habitais une petite ville entourée de champs, il y avait quelques petites épiceries, mes parents écoutaient de vieilles chansons et pendant un séjour pour jeunes gens " débarque " dans ma vie le " folksong " ; Dylan, Cohen, Baez, une vision de la vie bouleversée, ouverte sur le monde de ce temps. Eh bien, encore maintenant, Bob Dylan m' intimide énormément car c'est lui qui m'a fait passer à l' age adulte, pourquoi lui plus que les autres, je ne sais pas mais j'aime ce qu'il fait et ce qu'il est !

This is not even a song about the 60's, it's a song about human nature; hell, it's a song about nature itself. Everything is constantly changing, it's a universal truth, every second that passes is part of the momentum driving humanity and everything else forward; forward to what, we don't know. But this one's truly a gift that seems almost divine in its foretelling. "Admit that the waters around you have grown". How can a man barely in his twenties strike a phrase so concise yet poignant? It feels predetermined. I'm moved to tears by how grandiose the message is but how simply it is conveyed.

Wow, I remember this song so well! I used to play it on my acoustic guitar when I was learning to play. I'm 70 years old now.

Timeless. There is a reason he is a Nobel Laureate. I saw him interviewed years ago. He was asked how did he right all these early classics (he was only 22-24 years old). He said they were easy. Just flowed out him like breathing. Like eating like sleeping. He said he could not write those songs today. He doesn’t know how he did it. Genius doesn’t need an explanation.

Dylan's legacy is very current, most of his lyrics could have been written just yesterday, their meaning doesn't change and many times, like a good wine, it ages just to be better .

[jeanniehughes]

The times they are a-changin' indeed.

[dwaynewladyka]

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is an incredible performance here. This song has a message that still is relevant today. There is nobody like Bob Dylan. He is in a league of his own. I saw Bob Dylan live 30 years ago. Cheers!

May 25, 2023 - I wished Bob Dylan would re-release this song today - it is always timely - and it makes one take stock of where they are at - this song speaks to me that way. Belated - 1 day late - Happy Birthday wishes to Bob Dylan - B.D. May 24

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls…
