And then he NAILS the solo 🤣

Is that Band really the Plugz?!?

@@derekr3607 Not quite! It is 2 members of The Plugz with a third.

Yeah, I always think the same thing And I'm a total runk n roll junkie

Agree! Also, IMO "Infidels" is the best and most cohesive studio album he cut during the entire 1980s (with possible exception of "Oh Mercy" at the end of the decade). Beautiful, by turns lyrical and epic, intimate and shrewdly satirical...and with a superb backing band (both Mark Knopfler and Mick Taylor on guitar!)

When I saw the list, I said the same thing to my Dylan fan buddy

Said millions of us. Because Bob never makes it easy! Even when it's one of the greatest moments in his career.

It did!!

There's an interview with a member of band. They allegedly spent time at Bob's learning songs, rehearsing, hanging out. Bob said he might be interested in a small tour but nothing became of it. I think it was lead guitarist that said, they didn't realize at the time that Bob was such an iconic figure with massive influence. ... He said looking back it seems like a dream & wish they'd have asked more questions. Who really it's the chance to play music and hang out with Bob at his place. Will post interview if I find it. Apologies for rambling but we could talk forever about Bob, his life, music, relationships, voice changes over the years, etc... ✨🕯️✨ @Bobby Daubert, sorry forgot to @ reply to U.

They were a pretty popular punk band lol

That's the Plugz baby.

@@michele-33 ' Ray Padgett ' brought me here

I could be wrong but I think Dylans son was a fan of The Plugz and they went to a show together and Dylan and them started talking and performing rehearsal jams which lead to this.

Hi Michael, I’m just laying around the apartment with another case of Covid looking through some old videos when I noticed your comment. Years ago I wrote a detailed account of the harmonica incident and finally took it down when it reached several hundred likes. Long story short- Bob asked for the wrong harmonica ( as in the wrong key) just before the performance. Afterwards when I asked what happened he turned to me and said “ I made a mistake “. He wasn’t worried in the least as opposed to me who was mortified at what happened. After the show I thought I would never see him again but much to my surprise I was asked to join him on the upcoming European tour. By the way I still have the “ infamous harmonica “ in my possession. Thanks for commenting, Ed

​@@henryedwards6408 Good afternoon! Have you ever written or given an interview about this story? Would you be interested in doing so?

Hi Jared I wrote a lengthy account of what I dubbed “ HarmonicaGate” years ago for UKposts and deleted after it was up for a couple of years. Don’t know if you saw it or not but I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about the rehearsals or the actual Letterman performance.

​@@henryedwards6408Hello, again, Henry, Jared again (changed my screen name). I believe my last reply to you was deleted. Is there still a way to watch/read what you made for UKposts?

Hey Jared , happy 40 anniversary of the David Letterman show. I had no idea until I got your email today. My original comments can still be found on Reddit. Someone posted the video and my story. Whoever it was threw a little shade my way by saying even though it’s a good story he didn’t necessarily believe it was true. My reaction was I thought I made it pretty specific with several names to fact check. Anyway, thanks for reminding me…

It's the Plugz an Los Angeles Latin American punk band.

@@andynoble2393 cheers man for listening to this masterpiece

Not really, but Paul Simonon from The Clash played on one track ("Sally Sue Brown") of Dylan's "Down in the Groove".

Charly quintana

of Social Distortion fame too.@@totalgreen810

Listen to the studio version. It's slower, more clear and the lyrics are quite stunning, with great guitar work from Mark Knofler.

Thank god you said 'sorry.' I'm sure that Bob Dylan would have felt bad about himself if you hadn't.

@@loopynutful I very much doubt such a random opinion would worry about such a statement.

Technically you're right, but somehow Dylan can get away with almost anything.

Yes, from what I've heard he scours youtube comments every night and is said to become very upset if harsh critiques of his harmonica playing show up. @@loopynutful

Dylan needn’t used harmonica . The song was just going so great . Who am I to critique Dylan. Suicide here I come . Only Dylan can forgive me.

either be groovy or leave man

@@Eoghan__ I'm not being, nor am I trying to be mean. I'm not a troll neither. I am groovy, man. You, chill a bit and answer my question if you can.

awful comment, delete

@@SG91218 Aww, you don't like my comment? Might I offer some suggestions. Go to your safe space. Use breathing exercises. I feel bad that I committed a microagression against your poor tender feelings.

Someone once said “all my favorite singers can’t sing”. To each their own. Folk,rock, punk, they’re meant to be raw. Guys written more great songs than anyone else I could think of. And for all the polished covers I always go for bobs version (50/50 with Jimi’s All Along the Watchtower, not so polished either)
