Rare Footage: John Lennon and Bob Dylan on a cab

[walrusz]

Thumbs up if you've tried to pause it with both in the frame at once.

[mccartney2006]

Bob is seriously fucked up.

[sebsta97]

i wish i was that taxi driver

[historiadorderock]

Bob Dylan sounds super high hahahaha and John looks like he's just trying to keep it interesting.

[binman702]

Imagine how excited the taxi driver must have been....... :)

[TheLordHodne]

To much talent in one car

[MickyG4444]

This is why we fuckin suck, we just watch other people, and every one goes out and tries to be interesting or fun, and grab attention any way they can until they tire themselves out and become basically sincere and good people, but at the same time resigned. Just got out of college and I'm telling you, it's boring beyond belief how disengaged people are, you feel crazy at parties. No one talks about anything anymore, I'm all about gettin a job and all of that but there's something more.

[MickyG4444]

@MickyG4444 Fuck

[SweetJaneofGoth]

Like my grandpap says - "these two are stoned"

[manni62]

Johnny looks bored. "I'm hanging out with my hero and he's shit faced!"

[MrKuntflap]

They are IN the cab. Not ON it. If they were ON it we wouldn't be able to see them now. We may just see a couple of feet hanging outside the back window (If they were facing backwards on the roof that is). They are definitely IN the cab.

[BasementBeginnings]

Bob: "I wish I could talk English, man."

John: "Me too, Bobby."

BROS

[darnrabbits1]

@frenchiebear101 I was joking..Dylan sounds dead is what I meant is why I said have you heard him lately..is just a joke

[darnrabbits1]

It's a shame they're both dead now. Have you heard Bob lately? These days he was on top of the world.Is great to see them tore down on the town..both pretty funny guys

[frenchiebear101]

@darnrabbits1 uhh Bob Dylan is not dead. he turned 70 in May. he's still alive thank God! :) 

[sunriseRISE]

@frenchiebear101 BOB DYLAN DIED the day the BEATLES landed in USA

[frenchiebear101]

@sunriseRISE he's not dead.

[MrJuno6]

Behind all the banter. the mutual admiration is tangible. 

[eazeyo]

haha @2:29 , Bob says "you told me my song should be in your publishing company [that night we were super stoned]" .... yeah thats a surefire way for Lennon to collect half your royalties haha

[N3m3sis360]

see thiss with the close captioning i was ..interesting



[Susanskarma]

They didn't even have to tip the cab driver. If I was the tab driver, I don't know if I could pay attention to my driving. LOL

[jbchar666]

what did he say?

[james7167]

DYLAN SOLD HIS SOUL TO SATAN TO BE FAMOUS SO DID ALL THE MAJOR POP GROUPS ILLUMINATE

[martin2132004]

@james7167 shut up and DIE its called talent and connecting with people

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@james7167 You're a retard, Bob would be laughing his ass off right now if he read this. You paranoid gullible fuck.

[sunriseRISE]

@james7167 but the question you have to ask is =did marie ssssuck off Donny s dick

[burf69]

Let's face it, Dylan sounds fucking hammered and just like any good drunk he was probably being right annoying. Still love him though...

[TheDilligan]

this is like... the two greatest lyricists ever sitting in a car together...

[peaceandrosegirl]

So remember kids, don't do drugs, unless you want to end up like John Lennon and Bob Dylan, the most influential men of our time and rich as hell. XD

[ravenrene68]

@peaceandrosegirl hahahahha...EXACTLY!!



[Jeffreythepeffrey]

@peaceandrosegirl it does help if you have talent to start with. Drugs are not really going turn you in to a rock star are they?. Not Knocking smoking a spliff as I indulge myself but taking drugs be it pot or the heavy stuff smack will not make you cooler. I know your jesting though and that is the wonderful throw away nature of posting comments on Youtube!

[sasso6591]

no seatbelts!!

[youtuuberoxx]

not cool bob dissing johnny cash

[BigRuudy]

I wish you could sing in English, Bob.

[HARRISONANDLEMON]

[Dealit707]

Trippin!!.......Oh Yeah.

[suggst65]

"I wish I could speak english" "Me too Bobby"

[EpicTrollBeastMan]

Johnny Cash > both of these clowns put together

TRUE STORY

[lithium2370]

[wetmidget]

john lennon is cooler than the other side of the pillow

[TheWebcamcomedy]

if infinity exists. in an infinite number of exact replicas of our universe. there would be at least one where bob is john and john is bob.

[iamductri]

lol, lennon was kind of scare. 

[johnbarry1965]

The nasty little twit Dylan described Mama Cass as a "Big Chick"

[Dave897456]

@johnbarry1965 So, how would you describe her dummy?

[767catwoman]

@Dave897456 Fair enough "Skinny Jew"!

[Dave897456]

@767catwoman You really are a dummy!

[johnbarry1965]

The nasty little twit described Dylan Mama Cass as a "Big Chick"

[chingchangchongfly]

Dylan's playing with Lennon, and Lennon doesn't seem too pleased

[sunriseRISE]

[barbroxursox]

THEY'RE SO BADASS!

[JammerZice]

@barbroxursox Really? They're acting pretty trashy to me.

[stewbunny]

@JammerZice H

[bcsaxman0]

It's a good thing cell phones were far in the future, otherwise there would probably have been no conversation at all.

"Where have the conversationalists gone.."

[bcsaxman0]

"Where have the conversationalists gone.."

[seanb109]

Dylan after dentist.

[eruseron]

@seanb109 nice reference, thanks for the laugh.

[Virginiepatriote]

1:20

Dylan : I wish I could talk english.

Lennon : Me too Bobby !

Dylan : Hahahaaa *strange laugh*

LOOOOL, they are so funny !

[dirtynuke]

If I were the cab driver I'd make a swift U turn and drive to some burger joint, buy some cheeseburger and fries for all three of us, and just sit in a diner with Bob and John. imagine that. shit. Man.

[MrKarolniko]

lucky cab driver

[Dilliboy63]

why do people have to pigeonhole natural free-expression between contemporaries (John and Dylan) as being "drunk/high". Even if such is the case, rarely do you see this kind of honest verbal discourse, except in their songs. I suppose there's Tarantula, but who what were people really expecting when they asked Dylan to write a book? Why must we always have an expectation rather than taking their music, art, and words as they are.

[Vasich]

@Dilliboy63 Agreed. I'm glad at least one other person shares my viewpoint. It's a shame that people tend to assume an artist's high before creative. Not to say there isn't some correlation there.

[AboSaud33]

bob has ADHD

[9Iamthewalrus]

Ok, leave Bobby alone, ok? He's having an epesode

[miss9starr7]

Hmm.. well idc.. high or not.. if I could I would jump through the screen and molest John.. he looked really hot at this time. JS.

[miss9starr7]

John was just sort of playing along.. like when people act drunk/high.. when they're really not. He was always pretty nervous when around Dylan.. I have no idea why, he's obviously a goof.

[modelprisoner]

which one's the fucking douchebag?

[modelprisoner]

two over-rated "singers" nobody cares!

[schwarav]

@modelprisoner

You're right. They never did anything for music...

....fucking douchebag

[polishgrl87]

"I only know the lesser knowns." haha

[liamMCR]

really, bob? lol

[scared2eatAcake]

I'd say Dylan is the stoned one here. They are probably my two favorite artist and i don't care if they're stoned or not, the music business would never have been the same with out them and thats a fact.

[MichaelHansenFUN]

bob dylan is messed up

[oobah2]

It's like watching Batman and Superman hanging out stoned...

[TheDoodminister]

@oobah2 hahaha that was worth a chuckle :D

[patrick45sue]

Alway's drug talk,maybe just pissed as......

[changing3]

They're IN a cab, not ON a cab. 80% of you morons who write anything here can't spell or put a sentence together. No wonder this country is fucked. Those of you who are morons don't even know it.

[NarutoBlackmail]

@changing3

>one typo

>immediately means the world and country is fucked

Smoke a joint, man. lol

[elliotjmiller]

@changing3 @changing3 your the moron who wastes his time lecturing others on grammar. Maybe we realise its not important to correct our spelling/grammar on fucking youtube, where the majority are backwards americans.

[thejenkins16]

@folkhippy dylan wasnt on heroin in 66 but reading this i might have to question whether you are using the substance or not. Heroin and cocaine weren't popular til round 69-70 they are definitely high on nothin but refer. LSD they'd be off the walls and definitely not in a car with a camera. Rubber Soul was inspired by weed, Revolver LSD...fun/high fact.

[MrNoWhereMan1965]

@thejenkins16 Rubber soul indeed was a weed album. So was REVOLVER. The only LSD song on revolver is the one that Peter Fonda inspired called, "He said, she said".

[marika510]

Bob Dylan

[BungalowBill0816]

so much talent in one car.

[Ninjan9ne]

I wish I could talk english hahahaa

[hippiegirlatheart]

omg guys who cares if they are high as kites or DRUNK THIS IS JOHN LENNON AND BOB DYLAN TOGETHER NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

[honeybeeman]

AWWWKWARD! 

[5321jerry]

I love how they pump up johnny cash. Great. Good music knows good music.

[LucasRocks749]

they're drunk and high at the same time.

[FuckStaub]

TWO GODS

[nordicaproductions]

I love John so much.

[FilmFreakable]

Man, Cate Blanchett did such a great job as Jude Quinn...

[Iueamin]

Lennon told Rolling Stone they were both on heroin during this video.

[BeatleJohn420]

They're acting weird because they're high as kites.

It's awesome.

XD

[MrBrianlowdown]

@BeatleJohn420 if drinking all night and jetlags weird

[BeatleJohn420]

@MrBrianlowdown It's not alcohol and jet lag making them act like this. It's no secret that Dylan and Lennon were heavily into drugs. They readily admitted it. The woman they were talking about in this video was not a woman at all. It was heroin. Note the conversation at 3:30 - 3:56. Both Lennon and Dylan were on heroin at the time of this documentary. In part 3 of this film, Dylan is clearly starting to suffer from heroin withdrawals, becoming very sick to his stomach.

[folkhippy]

@BeatleJohn420 You are correct, Dylan was using heroin extensively in late 1966-1974. Have you ever read the lyrics to "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"? The story I have heard was that Dylan and John were on LSD in this particular scene. The whole segment is about 15 minutes long, and they took the dose before the cameraman started shooting and it began kicking in as Bob got ill during the last part (which is cut off here). The full version can be found other places online. Enjoy!

[Forgetfulknotts]

@BeatleJohn420 I really would like to know where you heard such things as Dylan being on smack? I know that Lennon admitted and documented his 6 month venture into smack. But Dylan was incredibly open about his drug use, and i'm fairly sure he's used everything except heroin. I'm a junky myself, Dylan doesn't seem like a junky. He just stayed up for days at a time before he got in that motorcycle accident. I think he would have admitted to being a junky man, look at Bob and compare to Keith R

[BeatleJohn420]

@Forgetfulknotts I read it on bobdylan and dylanology dot c o m as well in this one book about him that I can't recall the title of right now (damn stoner brain). He wasn't ever a hardcore user of heroin, but he did dabble in it and was using it for the few days leading up to this video. Folkhippy (below) will back me up on this.

Peace, love and smoke. :)

[mjfrey2]

@BeatleJohn420 Ummm no dude, the woman they're talking about is the fat chick from the Mamas and the Papas, hence after John starts asking about the Mamas and the Papas Dylan gives him shit for the big chick getting a hold of his interests. I won't refute that they could be on heroin, although I think it was probably just any mix of barbiturates and/or speed, but the part about the woman is clearly just about the woman from The Mamas and the Papas.

[themillenia]

@BeatleJohn420 It's Dylan that's acting weird. John's like, this guy if effed up.

[iamductri]

DYLAN the best. Lennon was just a pop boy in the beatles, dylan was a true artist.

[mancltymagics1]

@iamductri

really? so how about songs like imagine? just a pop song?

[iamductri]

@mancltymagics1 pop boy in the beatles man, and when he departed from the beatles, he became a legend and i didnt say imagine is a pop song at all.

[sausagenpeppers]

for the people who are saying bob is acting stupid, bob and john are fucking around with each other. they were good friends. the beatles liked bob, bob liked the beatles. they were fucking around, making fun of their friends, and poking a little fun at each other. do you hear them joke about johnny cash and john lennon goes, "john's shitting himself again..." dude, they weren't mr. serious all the time any of the beatles movies?

[sausagenpeppers]

theyre super stoned right now

[crpaul48]

Happy birthday Johnny.

[definemaybe]

i have a half hour of this and the end of EAT THE DOCUMENT, the big chick he refers to is Mama Cass into Heroin, Dylans and hers manager, also managed Janis Joplin another Herion O.D.. cant think odf his name -oh ALbert Grossman

[definemaybe]

i have a half hour of this and the end of EAT THE DOCUMENT

[mattjames570]

Hi Eva, hope you enjoy these clips!

Love Ya--Matt

[PussyTumor]

@magicalhoneypie I like Dylan, but I have the utmost admiration for you for expressing such a bold opinion in such a public forum.

This concludes probably the only positive response to this comment you're going to receive..

[magicalhoneypie]

@PussyTumor thank you! I was in a bad mood that day. I useally don't make comments that bold. I don't really care for Bob Dylan, but eveybody is different with likes and dislikes and we all can't like the same thing!

[PussyTumor]

@magicalhoneypie Exactly! Such makes this world such a radical place to live!! Haha... hope you're feeling better! :)

-PT

[magicalhoneypie]

@PussyTumor Thank you PT, I am. :)

[eatsleepmetallica]

@magicalhoneypie he's a poet, he's a prophet, his words are true. i respect your disrespect for the music, as long as you respect the fact that rolling stone polled something like five hundred famous musicians and bob dylan had the number one song of all time

[magicalhoneypie]

@eatsleepmetallica thank you for sharing that fact. I respect Rolling Stone, and I see what you are talking about. Bob Dylan is a poet, I listened to his music more closely. But, I have others that I prefer to listen to more then Bob Dylan. I didn't mean to be so harsh when I made the first comment.

[t4b5klh]

bob is rocked off his ass, its fuckinn hilariousj

[popthatcorn]

john and bob blazin it up.

I wish I was there.

[SNLiveismylife]

Bob Dylan does not seem like a jerk, he's just having a conversation. In reality he was supposed to be a loving person in personal relationships. He was SO young here, and he was so young when he started his career. He had a lot to learn, but he's not as big of a douche as other artists later. HE"S HIGH! Of course he's rambling, who can keep their heads completely straight while high? Believe me, The Beatles did their share of rambling, but not necessarily on camera.

[sunriseRISE]

this is in BOBBYdyans limo.....its may 66..london.....dylan had driven out to johns house and picked him up.. dylan is making a movie,,lennon is out numbered by all bobs crew.. but lennon  still takes DYLAN Down ''folka rocka boom'.... dylan returned to the usa and had a mental breakdown/bikecrash and never toured again till 1974

[vwtch]

Dylan did a pretty good job of making a fool of himself. Lennon did a pretty good job tolerating Dylan's mumbling.

I don't think Lennon was very impressed with Dylan; he was calling him "Bobby" to see if he could get away with it and he did. Lennon asked Dylan about Rolf Donner but Dylan had never heard of Donner. Shows to Go that Lennon really knew his music history but that Dylan had no interest in it.

[roddymuyank]

@vwtch well dylan was trying to speak in his music not get people to listen to his licks or any of that shit.... also. john was probably very impressed with dyland considering he was a big influence on the beatles. when you admire someone you dont care what they do... PLUS. john liked acting like a complete buffoon all the time.... plus "bobby" is just for laughs. they're both sensitive fellows, they like to joke around and intimate their admiration for each other in a chill atmosphere.

[xXBlinDXx12]

@vwtch what the fuck??? youve got it all backwards dude. do some research instead of inferring off of one measly video...

[DavidLydonTV]

Hes just stoned. And any 20 year old with that much fame would be at risk of being a bit arrogant for a while at least. Bob's cool.

[tullist]

Having now seen, I believe 3 interviews with Dylan from this period, had it not been shoved down my throat for over 40 years that this man is an unassailable genius I would swear he's doing a great impression of someone who badly needs his ass kicked and a lifetimes worth of humility injected in him.

[markooskoos]

Know what you mean tullist, hes an absolute legend, but as a person I think he's a bit of a dick.

[matineedivresse]

Bob Dylan sounds like a drunk ass in this clip

[ziagirl]

Two of the world's most profound and intelligent musicians together in one car! That's insane, wish I could have been the driver listening in on their conversation.

[lifestraight]

I kno right?? That was probably the higlight of that driver's life.
