Video: Bob Dylan Sings ‘ Forever Young,’ ‘San Francisco Bay Blues,’ ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’ & More – Dec. 4, 1988

Dylan, Oakland Coliseum, 1988.

At the Music Vault website I’ve found five complete video clips and one partial clip of Bob Dylan performing at the Oakland Coliseum in 1988.

He was performing at a benefit for the Bridge School. G. E. Smith accompanies Dylan on acoustic guitar.

There’s an incredible version of “Forever Young.”

And it’s great to hear Dylan sing “San Francisco Bay Blues” just across the bay from San Francisco.

The entire set is great.

You can watch them right now here.

The songs:

1 San Francisco Bay Blues 04:33
2 Pretty Boy Floyd 03:47
3 With God On Our Side 07:10
4 Girl From The North Country 04:47
5 Gates Of Eden (Incomplete) 03:15
6 Forever Young 05:32

[In August of this year I’ll be publishing my rock ‘n’ roll/ coming-of-age novel, “True Love Scars,” which features a narrator who is obsessed with Bob Dylan. To read the first chapter, head here.

Or watch an arty video with audio of me reading from the novel here.
