The Bob Dylan Song choices Timothée Charamet chose for their ‘Saturday Night Live“Musical performances were … yes, completely unknown to most viewers. The actor’s dip in more obscure elections pleased many Dylanologists who canceled, even when his choices defied the expectations that he would recreate songs he performed as Dylan in “A completely unknownWhich turned out to be the farthest away from his mind.
In his opening monologue as a program manager, the Chalamet signaled that viewers would be surprised by the elections during his musical episodes. “You may not know Bob Dylan songs I am ahead, but they are my personal favorites,” he told the audience. “I am so grateful that ‘Saturday Night Live’ is still doing strange things like this 50 years in. They are either really nice to let me do this or incredibly nasty and this is a big joke.”
In an unknouted Cameo, the Chalamet was joined by the well-known singer-songwriter James Blake On the keyboard for the music numbers, which further pleases the eager music fans.
It quickly became obvious that the Chalamet intended to act with his own voice – and have some reverent fun with it – when he started with two songs back to his back for his first musical place in the show, dressed in sunglasses and a winter jacket with a hood over . His head.
For the first appearance, the chalamet sang a quick, fun and bold medley by “Outlaw Blues” and “Three Angels”, two numbers that are well known for serious Dylan fans but who have never appeared on any album with the biggest hits. “Outlaw Blues” at least goes back to the period depicted in the film, after participating in the 1965 album “Bringing it back home”. The second choice, “Three Angels”, would be too inclusion if James Mangold ever makes a sequel-it’s from the 1970s “New Morning” album, when Dylan was getting into a softer position after the explosive center of the 1960s depicted in the film.
The Chalamet took a more subdued approach when he later came back in the show to sing a third Dylan choice, but he still avoided a direct Dylan vowel style and still adhered to the deep catalog. He ended the evening by performing “Tomorrow is a long time”, A song that Dylan first sang live and demo-edited in 1962 but which was not released in any form until the 1970s, although many other artists covered it in the 1960s. (Look at that number here.)
(The story for that particular track is cramped: A live version of “Tomorrow is a long time” from 1963 officially appeared on the 1971’s “Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II”, albeit as a kind of bonus, since it had never been Previously released, much less a hit a studio version, recorded in 1962, was officially released until a “Bootleg” from 2010. Series “Demos collection Elvis Presley cut the song to his 1966” Spinout “album, and others recorded it before Dylan ever released their own versions, including Judy Collins, Ian & Sylvia and Kingston Trio.)
The Chalamet obviously had a good time when he has set expectations with the performance, especially the first performance felt like a chance to cut off and celebrate the Oscar nomination he received for best actors this week, one of eight nominations the film received.
