SNL's new blooper reel includes a few outtakes from James Austin Johnson's Bob Dylan promo with John Mulaney. I'm begging some NBC intern to leak the full tape.

Maybe my favorite ten seconds on these tapes. Bob Dylan simply cannot stop thinking about pie.

Who's celebrating the Fifth Day of May

Bob Dylan's little Kristofferson joke on Theme Time Radio Hour after he played a John Prine song

It's the clip we've all been waiting for (or maybe just me). Bob Dylan on stage in Kansas City last night talking about how he ate too much barbeque before the show.

Lou Reed when asked if he was excited to play Bob Dylan's 30th anniversary concert: "If I was any more excited I'd probably faint. I'm just not shaking because I'm Lou Reed and I'm pretty cool."

Happy anniversary to The Times They Are a-Changin', the truly cursed Bob Dylan Broadway musical that opened on this date in 2006 (and closed a couple weeks later). For "Like a Rolling Stone," they had the whole cast—wait for it—roll around on stones.

The big setlist news was delayed, probably bc very few people recognized the song. For the first time ever, Bob played the extremely obscure Basement Tapes outtake "Baby Will You Be My Baby" It was the first live debut of an original song since Rough and Rowdy Ways! A snippet:

The legend Weird Al criticizing what Spotify pays artists in the video he made FOR Spotify. 🐐🐐🐐

Never seen this before - Neil Young in rehearsals for the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration doing "Forever Young" solo on pump organ and harmonica. Wow! (When the camera zooms out at the end you can see a young Eddie Vedder looking on)

Quick clip from Bob Dylan's surprise guest appearance with The Heartbreakers at Farm Aid tonight. "Maggie's Farm" — first time he's played it in over a decade:

A taste of the first You Ain't Going Nowhere since 2012! Last night in at a Washington winery.

Bruce Springsteen talking about a dinner with Shane MacGowan on his radio show a couple years ago. "All I know is with the exception of Bob Dylan and Chuck Berry… I’m not sure about the rest of us, but I know they'll be singing Shane MacGowan songs 100 years from now."

This story Steve Albini tells Tim Heidecker™ Official about George Thorogood meeting Bob Dylan is, as he's the first to admit, maybe not true. But the way Steve tells it is so damn engaging it barely matters. RIP

Tom Waits giving a rare musical performance in a new documentary about homelessness "In Australia, a matilda is a knapsack. When you're on the road, when you're on the run…and you're walking with a backpack, they say you're waltzing matilda. So this is a song about that."

Scorsese's Rolling Thunder movie premiered five years ago today. One of my favorite moments is this too-brief clip of Dylan performing for a bunch of old ladies playing mahjong.

While we're at it, here's Bob Dylan talking about Shane MacGowan and the Pogues on Theme Time Radio Hour. Iconic delivery of "kiss my ass"

Happy Halloween. Here's Bob Dylan reciting Poe's The Raven and the witches scene in Macbeth.

The first soundboard tapes of the entire Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour have landed! Two shows this fall in Glasgow. Here's a taste. Link in reply.

Here's some of the first "Man in the Long Black Coat" since 2013 tonight in Omaha. Huge s/o to taper Stu Levitan!

83 year old Bob Dylan, shirt unbuttoned to the navel, flanked by Tony Garnier and Jim Keltner, ripping a harmonica solo on "Shooting Star." You love to see it.

Obviously Bob Dylan's live-in-person "Baby Let Me Follow You Down" needle drop Happy birthday The Last Waltz!

Bob Dylan singing the Grateful Dead's "Brokedown Palace" in Tokyo a few nights ago for the first time ever.

Six months after Dubuque, a stage invasion clip I hadn't seen before in Evansville Indiana. It ends with a big group hug.

Elvis Costello covering Dylan's "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" in Chicago last night (after playing an actual Jimmy Reed song), then segueing it into his own "Mystery Dance"
