August 31: Bob Dylan & The Band at Isle of Wight 1969 (videos)

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin’ about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
“Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?”
He just grinned and shook my hand, “no” was all he said

(You put the load right on me)
