It's Alright, Ma I'm Only Bleeding with Lyrics

[1JuliusJohnson]

I guess probably one of a few human beings likely to have done his own compositions for damn near 50 years, and incidently, has always been known to feel no reason to copy himself. I guess its okay if he trys out a new vocal from time to time.

I love it! What is the brand of that guitar?

[bardofely]

Brilliant performance of one of his most powerful songs!

[sahseeker]

Dylan needs his head seeing to for singing his song in that ridiculous voice, he sounds like a fucking Muppet on helium. What kind of delivery is that? Bloody hell. Come on, Bob. It's like he's willfully trying to alienate his audience, in fact I think he's on record saying that at times has been his intention. "You think I'm a genius? Well, check this out, see if you still think I'm a genius when I sing like a speed-addled children's entertainer." We forgive him anything though.

[eldonsleight]

nothing tops this....for sheer conviction....intensity....pow­er.......and passion....fuck!!......this is so cool.....

[vedderfan94]

Dylan wrote this song when he was 23 years old. HOLY SHIT. Everyone else could try their whole life to write a song as powerful as this and they wouldn't succeed.

[calvinsunshineboy]

If you are here because of IT'S KIND A FUNNY STORY. thumbs up!

[ZboneWalker]

@calvinsunshineboy whats IT'S KIND A FUNNY STORY? Im here for bob dylan

[MrRazorblade999]

"He not busy being born is busy dying" So damn true! There is no middle way.

[MrHajuebe]

Bob Dylan at the peak of his power and ability: great! Good idea to blend in the lyrics, too. Thank you!

[88marioo]

É lindo!!! Quase um Rap, abraço.

[NomiFee]

i love this, back when he had still a "good" voice, but why is he playing the song so freaking fast??is he trying to catch sth? to win a race :D ?!

but i love it!

[rouronijohn]

@NomiFee

bob dylan invented punk rock. In a way...but i mean pretty much. just listen to

this song. His manic energy is punk.

[MetGriller]

I think even if this is a weird sung version of this song, this shit rocks my world away! This song is so damn deep and open-minded back then!

[1966cardio]

out of the mist he came eating grubs and honey.. yes tis Bob the Baptist.. make straight the way..

[LynNetworkTV1]

Amazing, beautiful, and so Cool!!!

[kablasoni]

Fucking hell! So amazing.Thanks for uploading this. You are a diamond.

[foiran]

If Springsteen is the Boss, if Brown was the godfather, if Elvis was the king. Then Dylan is the GOD

[ZboneWalker]

@foiran Theres a really popular song in finland that says bob dylan is the messiah, and everytime someone asks me what do i belive in i reply: Bob Dylan is the messiah.

[euro11AG]

@foiran well put man

[MrTrotskysGhost]

Poetry, sheer poetry..............

[rjpra2]

horribly version

[Stadnichuk]

I do believe in you dewey!!! i just know that your gonna fail

[DavelovesRealMusic]

Not hsi best vocals..here. Still..Playing a blistering guitar and in almost perfect tim e and he's into it...for a change. ...80's Dylan...was a strange time....early 80's sucked and the he was REBORN. around 1989....

[blazinbishop74]

Rare it is the person whom can say what is on your heart. That is, if you are smart?

[dotCody]

Make sure you don't park on a pile of leaves.

[HarpoonTorpedo]

i have a chance to go see him but im not too tbh. On one hand he's Bob Dylan the greatest artist of the 20th century and I really want to see him, to be able to tell my grand-children I saw Bob Dylan. But on the other hand he's getting on a bit now, he's 70 his voice is going and I hear he just sits on stage playing the organ all night not sure im up for that, especally for £60 a ticket, plus it'll probs be full of old people. But its still bob Dylan . What to do????

[SungTongs19]

@HarpoonTorpedo Go anyway, as I am, and understand you are fortunate to see a live performance by the same man who played alongside Martin Luther King Jr., The Beatles, Allen Ginsberg, Woody Guthrie, and broke every rule there is to break in the world of songwriting and lyricism. 

[rabidgoon]

@HarpoonTorpedo well, dude, here's what you do - you shill 60 clams for that ticket, and you enjoy every moment of it, and allow yrself the luxury of being blown away by alegend who, while not bewing in his prime, is still a genius motherfucker of epic proportions who is doing things onstage to reinvent himself at an age while my people of such ages are content to find a cover band behind them while they karaoke-tyle sing their own hits. dylan is a true artist and a ticket to his show,

[THthefirst]

he can't hold a note, but it's still genius

[97sophia12]

you know what I think this is the only version of the song where HE actually sings it.

[atombomb31458]

@97sophia12 wrong

[atombomb31458]

@97sophia12 he sang this live in 65 vor 66--the performance was removed from youtube...his voice was perfect back then--waay better than this

[97sophia12]

@atombomb31458 oh i know ive seen that one in interviews I meant the only version on YOUTUBE the rest are all covers lol

[atombomb31458]

@97sophia12 sorry sophia---that one was on youtube.It was removed sometime this year used to watch/ listen to it all the time.His singing was perfect --one of the great performances in rock history.perfection.

[TommyTheNerdFighter]

@doctorpoop2 This man, This GENIUS (i know he doesn't like being called that but it's true) was a pioneer of rock, he was there at the beginning and he's here now, he almost single handedly made the genre 'rap' with his song Subterranean homesick Blues, this chiselled road warrior has had more of an influence on your life than you'd care to admit. If you don't understand, well, i feel sorry for you.

[MarianoJRibeiro]

really good, what what about the that planet?

[TheDragonflyMiss]

lyrics, what a lyrics!

[screwingupawetdream]

the king

[bintol1]

Brilliant

[chockolate83]

Never dying song!

[zygfryd69]

badass!



[listentothemusicall]

Why isn't there a video of the original version?

[heartattack0vine]

@listentothemusicall Everytime Dylan sings this song, it's the original version.

[listentothemusicall]

@heartattack0vine I don't see a video of It's Alright Ma from the Bringing It All Back Home album. That's the one I want to watch.

[heartattack0vine]

@listentothemusicall Sure, I can understand. I'm only too happy with this video. Give it a chance, it rocks. He fires those words like bullets, man.

[dablueman21]

@heartattack0vine every time he sings any song of his, it's the original version.

[IGotARight]

INCREDIBLE!

[HillsoGold]

Incredible....................­........!

[keymankeys1960]

10 *** thanks for sharing

[MuchoKiller]

Bob dylan, the first freestlye rapper: see, Subterranean Homesick Blues.

[MrDecibels82]

fuckin brilliant, i love it

[argo984]

The version when he was younger is much better!

[caseyface3]

this was his attempt at a rap song

[xinjinbei]

@caseyface3

Actually this is rap in it's earliest form.

[11bcarr]

@xinjinbei And It's best form. He's not up there saying some bullshit like "I got bitches in my truck, and I don't give a fuck, but it's alright, ma, I'm makin bucks."

[Taggerung12]

@caseyface3 This is rap in it's earliest (and greatest) form.

[ELGROOVER]

....there is no sense in trying ♪♫

hhhhmmmm.......yea....well...?­!

It's such a fantastic song but this performance here does it no justice whatsoever.

Disappointing.

[11bcarr]

@ELGROOVER Come on, man. He's old as fuck and he's smoked and sang for decades. I'd say this is amazing considering that.

[SarahImPalin]

If they could see my thought-dreams, they'd probably put my head into a guillotine!!

ISN'T THAT TRUE!?

I think this may have been Bob's, atheist era. :)

[63thekey]

the effects on the psychological mind when digital psychology takes hold.... its easy to see without looking too far that nothing is really sacred ... well humanity is

[november1ish]

Overrated

[mackb909]

Blown. Away.

[jezmundberserker]

Best Song of All Time! My favorite version is from the "At Budokan" album.

[spencer261]

this song is a monument

[63thekey]

this is a song explaining skitzo..... its when ur sleep rem brainwaves are active in the waking state of mind..... and paranoia aka binaural beat takes over ... he is explaining trauma and guilt......its peoples games u got to dodge... use of frequency abuse here i should think

[63thekey]

this is a song explaining skitzo..... its when ur sleep rem brainwaves are active in the waking state of mind..... and paranoia aka binaural beat takes over ... he is explaining trauma and guilt

[OsvaldoPaese]

i never get sick of this performance. This is real punk rock to me. He is the best because he doesn't care what anybody thinks and yet he's so poetic at the same time.

[levertrevel]

..and if my thought-dreams could be seen

they'd probably put my head in a guillotine..

[ingateman]

love this song and this dvd is actually pretty good, but i think the way he sings this one is pretty square, but this is still great, shows how good the whole dvd is, that this is the worst perfomance on there!

[roachelable]

You don't see how he's good???? Are you kidding me!? This is the best song ever written. It would never even have to be performed! The lyrics alone are pure poetry. Bob Dylan is the most amazing lyricist of all time. ALL TIME!

[4vindar]

Thanks for uploading. Where is this from and which year? Can I get it somewhere?

[4cat]

I watched this video about 20 years ago.

thank you uploaded.

[doctorpoop2]

I have to study bob dylan for my rock class, and I really don't see why this guy is anywhere near good.

[wwe2dragon]

@doctorpoop2 You're gonna fail 

[foiran]

@wwe2dragon But there is no success like failure

[kaleb92759]

@doctorpoop2 Why are you still in school if you have already got your doctorate in scatology?

[MarianoJRibeiro]

@doctorpoop2 then quit your rock class

[surfin4]

Damn!

[bobwaits]

wow

[KeepRockin55]

beautiful performance... dylan nailed it. even truer nowadays...

[drpaulthomas69]

incredible performance

[DanKSearle]

@drpaulthomas69 are you kidding me? Yes he's an amazing artist but this sounds terrible.

[TommyTheNerdFighter]

@DanKSearle You obviously don't understand, this song is amazing, he stands offering you an amalgamation of almost all his styles, bringing forward lyrics that mean so much! You can tell he poured his heart and soul into this. To a true Dylan fan, this is one of his greatest performances.

[DanKSearle]

@TommyTheNerdFighter the song is great, but his voice here is almost unlistenable. The quality of the lyrics do not make up for the terrible sound.

[TommyTheNerdFighter]

@DanKSearle His voice is not "unlistenable" it is beautiful! I don't know how to explain this, but the thing that makes people dislike Dylan is normally the way he sings. If you dislike his singing here then you dislike his singing for the past 20 years. The rough style gives the song more character, emphasises the lyrics and blends so well with everything.

[DanKSearle]

@TommyTheNerdFighter each to their own I guess. But you're not going to tell me you prefer this version to the album version? You probably are :-)

[TommyTheNerdFighter]

@DanKSearle Heh, sorry but yeah I do, well... i'm not to sure, the album version is more haunting, whereas i find this packs more of a punch. But eh, I like them both for what they are.
