Bob Dylan - To Ramona (LIVE HD FOOTAGE 1965)

I combined multiple clips from outtakes of D.A. Pennebaker's "Don't Look Back" to create this little music video of one of Dylan's most underrated songs. The bulk of the footage and audio was recorded at Town Hall in Newcastle, England on May 6, 1965.

There have been other videos on the internet, but never of this quality. I dubbed over the original low-quality audio with the official soundboard recording, only released in about 500 copies.

Enjoy this gem while you can, and please subscribe!

One of my favourite Dylan songs when I was a young girl, in England, training to be a nurse. It spoke to me and I understood every word of it.

"It's all just a dream, babe, a vacuum, a scheme, babe, that sucks you into feeling like this." How does a 22 year old kid come up with lyrics like that and then set them to a melody that perfectly expresses the emotions of the singer? Thank you for posting my favorite Dylan song of all time.

The more I listen to him the more I'm in awe of his genius at putting words together for so many songs.

Late comer to Dylan. Almost 70 now and this has me in tears. So thankful I found all I had missed.

this song saved me when I was going through a really hard time in college. It was like bob dylan was singing these words to me and it really conforted me in a way that only a good song can do. Especially the lines "there's no one to beat you, no one to defeat you, except the thoughts of yourself feeling bad..." Thank you, bob.

First time I heard this song had a joint in my hand and a tear in my eye. First song to make me cry.

It is difficult to pick my favorite Bob Dylan song, but certainly To Ramona is one of my favorites. A moving and evocative tune written by whom I consider as the greatest artist of my generation.

[carloshinojosa]

Ramona, come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
For the flowers of the city
Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes
And there's no use in tryin'
To deal with the dyin'
Though I cannot explain that in lines
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be under the strength of your skin
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I'm in
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't exist
It's all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feelin' like this
I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
With worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin' and returnin'
Back to the South
You've been fooled into thinking
That the finishin' end is at hand
Yet there's no one to beat you
No one t' defeat you
'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
You know you have
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you gotta be exactly like them
I'd forever talk to you
But soon my words
Would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe
Who knows, baby
I'll come and be cryin' to you.

Thank you Bob for every SONG you have wrote and sung.

[barryirwin]

This concert from Newcastle, my cousin and me stood outside the stage door and listened to this show because we couldn't get tickets.Happy memo

[jesuisravi]

this was the first Dylan song I ever heard. They played it on a radio DJ show back in the mid 60's. I didn't know the name of the artist but I knew from the beginning of the song that this singer was going to be HUGE. I guess I was right.

[rustbeltprogressive]

I'll see him in september 60 years after this and 40 years after I started hearing it.

That is crazy.

[kitfox]

He says he doesn't know where that genius came from. He said it wasn't him.
Sounds like a genius to me.
The more I learn about good music, the more I worship him.

[antoninamadonia]

Dylan, a genius, i'm in love with these words

[tiedyedowl]

My absolute favorite Bob Dylan song. It’s really amazing to see a recording of him singing it live. Thank you so much.

[electrafone]

Your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I'm in. Forever

[Birdwatching]

Dylan changed everything he touched. There will never be another.
