Twenty-eight years ago, on October 20th 1979, Bob Dylan delivered his first public performance of the song I Believe In You on the “Saturday Night Live” television show, in a moment some would consider every bit as electric as when he plugged in at Newport in 1965. His most recent performance of the same song came in Melbourne, Australia, on August 19th last. Click here for a clip.

Addendum: And thanks to Richard for his comment on the above clip.

Oh, man! Every time I announce to whoever’s listening that Bob ought to hang it up something like this comes around. Talk about a voice coming from, I don’t know, Biblical depths… If there’s a sound of a prophet speaking from beyond time, Dylan has got the sound, and it feels like it just altered the flow of blood in me own veins.
