But during the monologue at the top of the show, Chalamet offered a tantalizing tease of his plans.
You might not know the Bob Dylan songs Im performing, he said.
But theyre my personal favorites.
Timothée Chalamet made some unusual song choices when he performed on ‘SNL’Will Heath/NBC
Two of them are so obscure that Dylan has never sung them live.
(Theres a slight asterisk next to one of those, but well explain that in a bit.)
Heres a breakdown of the three songs he played onSNL.
But his first electric studio session took place Jan. 14, 1965, during theBringing It All Back Homesessions.
But White handled all the singing.
Oddly enough, Chalamet now has more experience singing Outlaw Blues to a live audience than Dylan does.
This is the moment where hardcore Dylan fans all across the country went What the fuck?
Thats because Three Angels is so obscure that it makes Outlaw Blues feel like Knockin on Heavens Door.
One U-Haul trailer, a truck with no wheels, Dylan observes.
Three Angels isnt one of them.
There isnt even some random one-off where Jack White did all the singing.
This is, far and away, the most attention its ever received.
One of the most beautiful and tender is Tomorrow Is a Long Time, which he wrote in 1962.
The sparse Chalamet rendition onSNLis faithful to the original.
Those may sound like ludicrous proposals, but how many of you saw Three Angels coming?
