Watch & Listen: Bob Dylan at the Royal Albert Hall 2013 — Videos, Audio

Dylan at the Royal Albert Hall, November 28, 2013 via contactmusic.com.

There are some clips here that I’m not positive are from the Royal Albert Hall shows Dylan played this past week. I’ve indicated the clips that are for sure from the shows. If you can confirm the others, let me know.

UPDATE: I’m told that the clips I was uncertain about are not from Royal Albert Hall, but possibly from a Paris show. You might still enjoy them.

UPDATE: I’ve since found a clip of “All ALong the Watchtower” from the November 28 show. You can see it here.

Some of these clips have pretty good audio but sketchy video. The performance of “Forgetful Heart” in particular is excellent and the audio good — it’s just the video that doesn’t cut it.

Greeting fans at the end of the show, Nov. 28, 2013, Royal ALbert Hall:

“Forgetful Heart,” Nov. 27, 2013 Royal Albert Hall:

“Tangled Up in Blue,” Nov. 27, 2013, Royal Albert Hall:

“Things Have Changed” — NOT Royal Albert Hall:

“Long and Wasted Years” — NOT Royal Albert Hall:

“She Belongs To Me” — NOT Royal Albert Hall:

“Love Sick” — NOT Royal Albert Hall:

Encore, “Roll On John,” Nov. 26, 2013, Royal Albert Hall:

Two clips from Bob Dylan’s performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London, November 26, 2013. This is not the greatest video or audio, but it gives you an idea of what it was like. “All ALong the Watchtower” sounds pretty great.

Watch: Pearl Jam, St. Vincent’s Annie Clark & Carrie Brownstein Cover Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World”

Anthemic version of the already anthemic “Rockin’ in the Free World” performed last night in Dallas during Pearl Jam’s concert. Unfortunately the song cuts off after two and a half minutes. Damn.

Here’s a version from Toronto in 2011 with Neil Young joining Pearl Jam about four minutes into the song.

And Pearl Jam and Sleater-Kinney rockin’ it from Mexico City, Mexico, Palacio de los Deportes, July 19, 2003.
