My favorite Bob Dylan moment was the Nashville Skyline sessions with Johnny Cash. It was recorded in 1969 (post motorcycle accident) and was Dylan's 9th album.
There was a camera in the studio. I believe the camera was following Cash... it's in has man in black documentary. Cash and Dylan at this point were old friends dating back to the early 60s
Cash makes Dylan break by saying "Bob" in a line. Dylan responds but can't keep his cool. Cash is just having a good time, where as Dylan wants to keep the Dylan image in front of the camera. The ultimate moment though is when they listen to the playback. They destroyed the ending and Dylan is cracking up and is embarrassed, Cash is loving it!
Please note that Dylan is chewing freaking bubble gum while singing this song. This is the take that is on the album.
