Two great clips from a show Bob Dylan did at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, England on May 5, 2002.
“Desolation Row”:
“Absolutely Sweet Marie”:

This is the complete performance of “Like A Rolling Stone.” While it appears to be the Manchester Free Trade Hall show from May 17, 1966 because of the “Judas” quote, a fellow Dylan fan pointed out that the actual performance of the song is from the May 21, 1966 Newcastle concert.
Bob Dylan and most, but not all, of The Hawks, later The Band.
This was originally shot for “Eat the Document,” the never officially released documentary of Dylan’s 1966 tour of England. Later it showed up in “No Direction Home,” the documentary that Martin Scorsese put together for Dylan.
I’ve been listening to various unofficial and official audio of Dylan’s Europe tour shows beginning in the early ’70s and they never get old.
Incredible.

Bob Dylan performed “House of the Rising Sun,” a song off his debut album that he didn’t write, at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England on April 12, 2007.
It was a tribute of sorts to The Animals who had a huge hit with their electric version of the song and who came from Newcastle.

These videos are from various gigs Bob Dylan did in the ’90s. I found them today and was digging them and thought you might enjoy a trip back 20 years.
I love hearing the audience in Glasgow singing along with Dylan to “My Back Pages.”
I hope you enjoy them.
“What Good Am I?,” Paris, France, July 3, 1994:
“My Back Pages,” Glasgow, Scotland, Hall 3, Glasgow, Apr 9, 1995:
Man In The Long Black Coat, Liverpool, England, June 26, 1996:

Forty-eight years ago, on May 10, 1966, Bob Dylan and the Hawks played Colson Hall in Bristol, England.
Among the songs they performed was this devastating version of “Ballad of a Thin Man.”
And this is from a different show in England:

I love this British band, Joanna Gruesome.
Although Joanna Gruesome pulled an unofficial video directed by their drummer, David Sanford, for “Tugboat” that Pitchfork briefly posted earlier today, I thought you might dig hearing the song, which is the flip of the group’s single, “Sugarcrush.”

Today I found three excellent live performances by Bob Dylan.
The first is a version of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” from Town Hall, Birmingham, England, May 5, 1965:
Then there’s “This Wheel’s On Fire” with Dylan joined by Rick Danko. Dylan and Danko co-wrote the song. This is from a show at Oakdale Theater, Wallingford, CT, August 18, 1997:
And finally a terrific cover of “Pancho & Lefty” from the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Manchester, TN, June 11, 2004:
