I hadn't seen that particular fan video using Star Trek images before sharing it, but the music comes from Shatner's album, The Transformed Man, which was issued in 1968. My mom used to have a copy, along with Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy, which came out the same year and featured "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins." I don't know if we ever listened to it, and she's long since lost it, but Wikipedia tells me that it had six tracks. The first five tracks each consist of a dramatic monologue paired with a spoken version of a pop song. (The sixth, the title track, is an original composition.) "Mr. Tambourine Man" is matched to a passage from Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. One of his other covers is "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Shatner did perform "Mr. Tambourine Man" live (probably lips-synced) on The Mike Douglas Show, but there's only a short snippet available on Youtube. I first heard it about 35 years ago on The Dr. Demento Show. Better known is Shatner's 1978 performance of Elton John's "Rocket Man" at the Saturn Awards.

"Performance" is one word. I can think of some other ones.

Voronwë, okay, I need to clear this up...
You didn't actually BUY the original copy of 'Mr Tambourine Man', did you?
Okay, that's a photo of the original you posted, but there are probably photos of it floating around the web, right?
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Pretty sure V keeps the manuscript on a shelf between the rods of five wizards and a pair of boots (of Spanish leather) many sizes larger than those he wears now.

Somehow I'm just now discovering Michael Spyres.
Shout-out to the person in the comments who said Spyres can do "bear tones".

Frelga, I’m blown away by that video. Bravo, Michael Spyres! Not only is his voice wonderful, he conveyed the humor perfectly.
Take my hand, my friend. We are here to walk one another home.

I'm not sure I can watch that Jude. Nightmares and such. :o
Thinking specifically of Frelga, but all are welcome to watch.
