“I looked up from the podium and I thought to myself, 'I've never seen such a large crowd.' I was up close when King was giving that speech. To this day, it still affects me in a profound way“ (Bob Dylan in “No Direction Home“). Sometimes, I find it hard to believe that Dylan watched Martin Luther King Jr. give the “I Have A Dream“ speech in person, and performed at the very podium it was given at. Here's a twenty-two-year-old Bob Dylan singing his controversial song about the assassination of Medgar Evers. His set also included “When the Ship Comes In“, “Blowin’ in the Wind“, and “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize“. This footage was ripped losslessly directly from tape, and the audio beginning at eleven seconds is dubbed with a newly-found, higher-quality source.
