This is a very cool version of “Desolation Row” from Dylan’s 1966 World Tour.
This recording really is from Dylan’s May 27, 1966 show at the Royal Albert Hall in London. At 13 and a half minutes in length, it’s slightly longer than the 11 and a half minute version played at Free Trade Hall in Manchester 10 days earlier, and the sound quality is good.
Plus a good one from the previous year:
Hollywood Bowl,L.A., Sept. 3, 1965 (excellent recording):

This song off Deerhoof’s latest album, Breakup Song, is called “Flower.” The video is directed by Yuan Liu and Owen Donovan.
Stereogum reports that Deerhoof drummer/leader Greg Saunier said this about the video:

directed by yuan liu
asian gang girls’ leather outfits handmade by sometime singer of morbid angel
some have noticed that this was deerhoof’s second album to have a song called flower but actually it is the third

“I lost a great friend and a great hero last night,” Bruce Springsteen said yesterday night, onstage at the Bellville Velodrome in South Africa. “Pete back home was a very courageous freedom fighter. This is a song he adopted and helped popularize… Once you heard this song, you were prepared to march into hell’s fire.”
Then he sang “We Shall Overcome.”

In the late ’90s Elliott Smith recorded three a cappella vocals at L.A.’s Sunset Sound Factory, while he was in town working on Good Will Hunting.
Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing found the tape in November 2013 and added electronic dance backing, which he says is what he and Smith originally intended.
According to Pitchfork, “the backing tracks are new productions by Doughty under his UUL alias.”
