Dylan performed many exceptional versions of “Ballad Of A Thin Man” during his 1966 World Tour. The song was fitting for Bob's nasally voice, and the haunting, carny organ is unlike anything I've heard. This performance is close to the finest of 1966, second to his forceful and spectacular Edinburgh performance.

This was recorded on May 16, 1966 at Gaumont Theatre in Sheffield, England. Bob's voice sounds healthier and rested in this concert, a scarce occurrence during these months. After this number, he performed by far his best version of "Like A Rolling Stone," which is also on my channel. Enjoy this gem while you can, and please subscribe if you're a Dylan fan!
