Go to youtube.com and type his name in the search. Quite a few "live" performances there, although many aren't dated. Good Luck!

I believe there actually was a bootleg recording, and I've seen some video footage, of The Beatles '66 show at Budokan. Nothing legit, however. Cheap Trick, of course, is the most well-known and obvious answer. Bob Dylan also had a two LP set recorded live at Budokan, released legitimately in Japan. Also, the three LP live set by Santana entitled "Lotus."

Dylan's Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol and Only a Pawn in Their Game.  I too would have suggested Hurricane, but it's one of the few Dylan songs where he uses bad words.  Great song though, I love Emmylou Harris' harmony.

No single decade has a track record of being either that great or that terrible, it’s simply a matter of preference.  Talk to a jazz guy and he’ll say the forties and fifties when Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie were playing together was the peak of music, and for him, that’s totally true.  Ask a person who was a disco queen and she’ll say that 1978 was the peak of popular music.\n\nI’m a musician, I have been for most of my life and I can’t say with any certainty what the best decade for music was.  Sometimes when I’m playing classic rock covers, I say the 1970s were the best, when I’m playing Bach, I’ll tell you that the 1770s are the best.  Remember that music is an entirely personal thing.  There is a quote often attributed to Duke Ellington, something to the effect of “There are only two kinds of music, good and bad.  The bad stuff is easy to spot because it’s dishonest”.\n\nHonest, heartfelt artistic music happens in every decade; sometimes you just don’t hear it on the radio.

Gnarls Barkley seems to be a contender.\n\nBut it is a year for sophomore albums. Snow Patrol, Bloc Party, et al.\n\nAs for Toads, Toad the Wet Sprocket is going on a reunion tour this year.

It's called "It was a very good year" most famously sung by Frank Sinatra! \n\nCheck out: Sinatra Reprise, The very good years. A great CD with all of Frank's top hits.

Classic rock was the best, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendrix etc. It will never be topped.  Bob Dylan was not rock I think he was Folk.  There is no "modern rock,"  years ago those musicians had to know what they were doing, they were originators and a lot of them were self-taught sometimes (during concerts) making it up as they went along.  Todays generation should go buy some Zepplin. Pink Floyd, Cream, Black Sabbath, The Who, Grateful Dead etc. put it on (turn it up!!) sit back and listen to what they're saying, enjoy.

The beautiful thing is that Bob has a song for almost every mood you can have.  His music will also awaken you spiritually and politically.  His philosophy is so positive it can impact the world.

johnny cash, no doubt about it... he was a total badass. "cocaine blues" and "folsom prison blues" are the best, but he also does a really cool cover of "rusty cage" by soundgarden. he makes it sound like he wrote it himself.

Simplicity, repetition, social relevance, emotion, variation, suitability for instrumentation, timelessness.\n\nBallads are essentially simple tunes - the aim is that a large group of mixed ability can join in. This means the melody is quite clean, without excessively technical passages [but see later re variation]. The words also are simple, so as to be easily learned and easily passed on. \n\nRepetition - beyond the obvious verse-chorus-verse pattern of most ballads, there is internal repetition. Sections often have an ABBA, ABAB, AABA or similar format. Together with the overal simplicity of the melody, this contributes further towards making ballads easy to learn and easy to pass on, and encourages people to join in. Repetition is also seen within the words - take Dylan's classic Blowin in the Wind, with extensive repetition of sentence construction, if not actual verbatim repetition.\n\nSocial relevance, empotion and timelessness - Ballads speak not only to the issues of the day, but also posess a timeless quality because they speak to enduring issues of human existence. Take Blowing in the Wind again - relevant when first written, still relevant today and isn't likely to go out of fashion any time soon. Ballads are, at heart, music of the people and as such they relate to how people feel or react to or interpret various events. Even if the specific happenings in a ballad have no real meaning for today's listeners [as examples, many Irish ballads deal with issues like famine or deportation], the underlying human emotional message still shines through. \n\nVariation and suitability for instrumentation - although simple in itself, the melody of a ballad leaves a lot of room for musicians and singers to vary the tune far beyond what the music specifies. The same song may never sound the same twice. This simplicity and variability allows ballads to be played on a very wide selection of melody and accompanying instruments, adding to the 'group' feeling inherent in a ballad. As an example, see old open air recordings of 'Give Peace a Chance'.

classic rock is the best. Beatles, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin...i also like some psychedelic stuff. some Cream and Jefferson Airplane type stuff, you know?  some folk music like Bob Dylan. the only country i can tolerate is Johnny Cash.

Have to disagree. "On the Border" was always my favorite, followed by "Time Passages", and "Year of the Cat". Agreed, these 3 got a LOT more commercial airplay then "Roads To Russia"..but I just happen to enjoy them more.
