Barry tells: on the train from Dublin to Belfast. Bob was just sitting there looking out the window. He had the habit of touching window windows. No one knows why
. Maybe because of the raindrops, anyway it was a very wonderful moment. It was the only train ride where you had to pass the customs within a country.
All the tired horses in the sun, i have to close the gate, the riding ´s
done

1969) by Jim Marshall … “Hey Johnny I wanna say hi and I’m sorry we can’t be there but that’s just the way it is. I wanna sing ya one of your songs about trains. I used to sing this song before I ever wrote a song and I also want to thank you for standing up for me way back when.” Love this tribute song and introduction from Bob. I also dig when he almost knocks the mic stand over. Happy Birthday, Johnny Cash!” Bob Dylan via Video, Johnny Cash Tribute, 1999
September 26, 1961 – Bob Dylan performed the opening set for the Greenbriar Boys at Gerde’s Folk City, Greenwich Village’s premier music venue, Robert Shelton of the New York Times was out in the audience, taking notes. Three days later in the Friday edition of the paper, his review of the show hit the racks. But rather than write up the main act, Shelton headlined his story, “Bob Dylan: A Distinctive Stylist.” Aside from the headline and the bulk of verbiage, Dylan even got the photograph, which pictured him in his black corduroy Huck Finn cap.
It was Robert Shelton’s write-up of the 20-year-old Bob Dylan, that launched Dylan’s career, and made both of them famous.

I had been to the studio before and knew that the elevator door opened up right into the control room. As I rode the elevator and watched the lights mark each floor I knew that I had to make a very important decision. Was I a photographer or a fan? Did I come there to make the most of my time by creating a portrait, or did I come here to meet Bob Dylan? By the time the door opened I had chosen to be the best photographer I could be.
There he was staring at me right in the face. I walked right up to him because I knew that even though I was invited, it was up to him if I’d get a shot. I stuck out my hand and introduced myself. “Hi, I’m Lynn Goldsmith and I’d like to make some pictures.” He replied, “Well, that’s not necessary, I have a photographer.” I said, “With two photographers, you get two points of view!” He said, “I get your point of view.” I asked, “Then I can shoot right?” He smiled and nodded yes. – Lynn Goldsmith … thx Andrea Orlandi
😉 (Just like Tom Thumb´s Blues) … “Dave sang folk songs, jazz standards, Dixieland stuff & blues ballads, not in any particular order & not a superfluous nuance in his entire repertoire. Songs that were delicate, expansive, personal, historical or ethereal, you name it.”

January 27, 1976 Bob Dylan at City of Austin Municipal Court.
The first time I saw Bob was when I was working with The Rolling Stones in ’72. We were in New York at the end of the tour. We had an after show party… and Bob was there. He came in his red plaid shirt and Chip [Monck], who was a good friend of his, introduced us.
I think the Stones tour had a big influence on him.
That was the biggest thing going at the time. Bob’s a major rock & roll fan;
he loves the Stones thing,
and he takes in everything. It was right after that we started working on Planet Waves. He came out of retirement.
