Bob Dylan / Keith Richards / Ron Wood - Blowin' In The Wind (Live Aid 1985)

Bob Dylan busting a string and Ron Wood giving him his guitar and then fetches another for himself. Priceless.

39 years later and all three of them are still going strong. How impressive

Don’t care what anyone says I’ll always love Bob Dylan . . . ♥️

Miraculous scene! Jack Nicholson introducing Bob Dylan with such an enthusiasm! And Dylan singing one of the iconic songs with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood! All the applauses are not enough. Thanks.

Jack Nicholson introducing Bob Dylan accompanied by Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood... just WOW!

June2024….still listening.

Ron Wood: ‘In New York, towards the middle of 1985, Bob Dylan rang to ask if I wanted to do a charity gig with him. "Sure," I said. He showed up at my house to talk about what songs we might do. Bob was showing me chords when I suggested getting Keith involved. Dylan agreed, so I rang Keith, two hours later the doorbell rang, and there was Keith saying: "So what do you want?" I said: "Bob is downstairs, be nice to him." He followed me in and threw open his arms: "Bob...So great to see you!" The three of us started rehearsing and got through pretty much the whole Dylan catalogue. On the day of the gig, a limo came to pick up Keith and me. Before we got in, a truck pulled up with Dylan on board – the driver was his daughter. Keith looked at me and said: "This better be f**** good." It was better than good, it was Live Aid. There were 72,000 people at Wembley Stadium in London, and 92,000 when we played at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, plus 1.5billion people watching on TV in a hundred countries, all to help raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. On the stairs up to the stage, Bob said: "Let's do Blowin' In The Wind." I said: "What?" But by then it was too late to argue. I couldn't believe it: that was the only song of his we hadn't rehearsed. Right in the middle of it, one of Bob's guitar strings broke. I thought fast and handed my guitar to him, leaving me there in front of all those people, playing air guitar. I was eventually handed another guitar, and when we finished our last song we turned around to find the entire cast on stage behind us’.

This song is so needed to be heard today the words TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED needs for the war mongers to be made to listen too in their safe big houses peace needs to be not just a word 😢 😢😢

Ideal song for Live Aid 1985...23 yrs after he wrote it, he sounded better than ever--phrasing, lyrics, acoustic guitars--we'll never see or hear anybody like Bob Dylan...the only Nobel Laureate in contemporary music history

People complaining of them being wasted or stoned. But I've never been able to tell the difference in a stoned Keith Richards and the usual Keith Richards

3:37 the look Bob Dylan gives Ronnie during Keith's "solo". Priceless.

Muito top!❤ Sou fã do Bob Dylan ao infinito 🤝🙏 Tenho 2 filhos um 15 anos, ou de 10 anos! Todos os 2 já são fã n um do Bob Dylan ❤

I've grown old now. But I also grew up during on of the best times to be born into. What a time to be young. Watching all the wonderful things from that era come into focus. The social changes...the cool cars and to some degree the early marijuana days... but mostly the music. The music. Watching these treasures brings back the memories from those times. They carry me back to a time of great hope. And prosperity....How lucky we were to be there. And as Paul Simon says in a song about old friends... "preserve your memories...they're all that's left you". And these poets singing their music. They trigger those memories again. What a great way to grow old. I'm so grateful to have landed here, back then.

Seeing Bob Dylan in concert was on my bucket list. Finally accomplished in 2017. Thank God I got to see him before one of us kicked!

このライブが開催された年に僕は生まれました。 僕が嬉しかったのは、バイオグラフという凄いコンピレーションアルバムがその年に発表されて、そのアルバムのライナーノーツにディランの言葉で「人を勇気づけたり励ましてあげる事が大事なんだ」と載っていたことです。 ディランの歌詞や歌詞の意味って沢山あるけど、僕はディランのどんな歌詞よりもその言葉を大事にしたいです。

OMG…Bob Dylan…leader of the pack! Love you Bobby!

So sweet that Ronnie gave up his guitar when Dylan's string broke. You don't see it folks, but he proceeded to air guitar until another guitar came out for him. He even chucked a Townshend windmill👍😊❤

I'm so glad these performances were filmed!! Almost 20 years before I was born.

I was lucky enough to watch it live on my TV when I was 27 years old. That LiveAid marked my life!

As a young punker at the time this is where I got hooked on Dylan, I know it was criticised at the time but I loved it and 'Ballad of Hollis Brown' is still in my top ten Dylan songs.
